Beijing Home Delivery finally makes it possible for you to never leave your house and eat something other than pizza (although they have that too – frozen). Their website features a huge array of products that they will, as the name implies, deliver to your home. You sign up (free), choose the fruit, meat, appliances, cookies that you want, type your address in using pinyin, wait for it to show up. That’s it. If you’re worried about not being able to communicate with the delivery driver, don’t worry, the guy that brought me theater tickets the other morning spoke English as well as I do.

I could list the variety of goods the site features (or you could just go check it out yourself) but to better illustrate the cornucopia of handy items available I’ll give you a little scenario - inviting a date over to your house for a meal.

Your house is a sty: not a problem, BJHD has a wide selection of cleaning products and, should you need them, air fresheners. You have no idea how to cook? Have them deliver a George Foreman Grill (2 sizes available). Order some fresh meat to slap on there, some veg for a salad, ice cream for desert. To set the mood: candles (also to cover up the smell of that air freshener). Champagne, condoms, disposable underwear (!?), even get the lucky guy/gal a toothbrush for the next morning.

With gifts, books, flowers, and even theater tickets the only downside to Beijing Home Delivery is you may never leave your house again.
