I used HomeGrocer slavishly (for over a year) until they were bought by WebVan. I used Webvan (albeit with much less satisfaction) until they went under. I've tried Safeway.com; the delivery was over an hour late, the website was almost unusable, and I got someone else's groceries (one bag switched: I was missing stuff but got someone else's). I won't use it again.
It's a darn shame; I was massively spoiled using HomeGrocer. I miss that darn peach truck and I miss their commercials and I miss their jingle. For over a year I shopped for a week's groceries for 4 people in less than 15 minutes, either at work on a break or at home after my kids were asleep. The deliveries were timely and the driver was friendly. My groceries came to my kitchen countertop. And there were samples to try each week. If they didn't have what I wanted, they substituted something else for *free*.
