Fair enough

...and my experience of online groceries is that I did NOT buy much in the way of fruits and vegetables online. Bananas tended to arrive that were so rock-solid that they were suitable for launch by howitzer across lake geneva (not that Switzerland had an interest in shelling france).

Everything else was pretty satisfactory, and they had same-day service for their products, which was pretty good.

I think it is workable, even if some items aren't realy suitable to online sales. For instance, I buy CDs, books and electronics online, but I don't buy clothes. In the same vein, I'm perfectly willing to buy more durable food items online, while leaving things like bread, fruits and vegetables to a brief run to the corner store (which in Lausanne, I could only do on weekends...except at the super migros down by the lake).
