Middle class Victorians, in England at least, had things delivered. I imagine that quite a lot of cosplay characters are middle class.

In fact food delivered to homes of all types was a normal feature of life in England when I was a child in the 50s and 60s. Milk, eggs, etc., every weekday morning delivered directly to the door before breakfast, grocery van came to the street once a week, bread van twice, another van came a bit less often selling lemonade and other drinks.

Of course these services were not universally available, we were lucky to live in a moderately affluent town with a prosperous working class.

We didn't have a freezer until 1966 and I'm not sure that we suffered from the lack. But once everyone had both a freezer and a car those services became unprofitable and eventually disappeared.
