Does anyone know what PPOD's markup is supposed to be ?

Dear Mama, Indeed, this is so true. Yet if someone could make money delivering groceries to people, it is in my mind remarkable that nobody has realized this prior to PPOD. How stupid can the thousands of people in the grocery business be! It boggles the mind. The idea that the problem is getting the shopping list to the merchant seems somehow wrongheaded to me. Yet this is the only part of the problem solved by the internet. Kailash

Miz Bear: I share your skepticism about PPOD, in which I have no interest one way or the other. However, if I'm not mistaken, there are a number of smallish mail-order companies that have been delivering frozen and perishable goods for many years. Two that come immediately to mind are Harry and Davids, which deals in fruit. And Omaha Steaks, which deals in, yes, steaks! (And other meats.) Both of those operations have been around for quite awhile, so there must be at least a little money in the biz. I can also think of several others, too. Regards, M2
