The Peach Truck
If juicy, ripe peaches are on your fave fruits list, you might want to sign up with The Peach Truck, a Nashville-based company that specializes in bringing fresh Georgia peaches right to your door.

The bad news? You've got to wait 'til prime peak season, which is late May through August (peaches begin shipping the first week of June). Until then, you can get your taste buds prepped with The Peach Truck's Georgia pecans or signature peach jam.
Cost: Peaches start at $42 a box; jams are $33 for a set of three. Deliveries run early June through late July.

Instacart
If you can score a delivery slot and you don't mind the added fees, Instacart is the next best thing to going to the grocery store yourself. It sends a personal shopper to gather your groceries at stores including Whole Foods, Costco and Smart & Final. The good news is that Instacart is available all over the country; the bad news is that it's also one of the most popular grocery delivery services—which means getting a shopper to do your bidding takes patience. While you may place your order today, the next available delivery slot may not be until a few days from now (if any slots are available at all). Our tip? Try placing your order late at night; it seems to up your chances.
Cost: $7.99 for one-hour delivery slots/$5.99 for two-hour delivery slots. Tip strongly encouraged.
