One problem with their approach IMO is there was no direct feedback on when you would actually receive the product both before AND after you press the button.
You don't know if the toilet paper is going to arrive the same day, next day, 2 days, or 2 business days. Many times if you know beforehand it's going to take 2 days to get toilet paper you'd just run to the grocery store instead.
Not just toilet paper -- even with shampoo, body wash, kitchen soap, laundry detergent, kitchen sponges, I'm usually unaware I'm running out until it actually runs out, and with most of these things I can't wait 2 days. I also live 2 blocks from a 24-hour Safeway so it's not actually an issue.
These things all keep well, so I just keep extras and order when I have to start using my last one, so it doesn’t really matter how long shipping takes. For me, the worst part of dashes was that Amazon didn’t keep the exact same thing in stock for the exact same price, and sometimes it’d be a very different price if it had to fall back to a 3rd party seller. So I usually ended up checking and then ordering on the computer anyway.
