Mobile delivery boom: A Drizly driver delivering beverages to McCurry in Baltimore. Drizly is but one of the many increasingly popular home delivery services in the US that promise to get whatever customers order to them within an hour.

BALTIMORE: Bonnie McCurry just wants to relax after work. The 24-year-old tech designer at Under Armour might pick up groceries on her way to her Federal Hill home but then can avoid another stop for beer or wine by ordering on her iPhone using the Drizly app, which promises delivery within an hour. 

The last thing Curtis Rhoades wants to do after working all day is to fight traffic to stock up on trash bags and other household goods, so the 29-year-old Union Square resident orders such things from Amazon for delivery within two hours.
