^If they've got enough capital to wear initial losses, it's potentially a clever strategy. I don't know much about the industry, but presumably viability is all about purchasing volume. So, the free delivery will entice people to try them, quickly building their user base and enabling them to negotiate progressively better deals with suppliers. Plus, there are all the wineries, craft beer startups and new overseas liquor brands that are too small to get distribution deals. Not to mention late hour purchases and the fact you can't drive once you've started drinking.
I ordered a bottle from some late night shop here (called an off-licence shop, which is basically a convenience store with a licence to sell alcohol), and had it delivered by Just Eat (food delivery app, not sure if it's in Oz). But the range was terrible, so I'd have used a proper online bottle shop if one existed.

^Great to know, cheers. We might need another mattress if someone stays or conversely when we next stay visit Oz and stay at mums.

My daughter got a mattress in a box when she moved out, then she switched it out for her good quality mattress we had bought for her a couple of years before, so the box one is in our spare room. its ok for occasional use, but i slept on it for 5 days when hubby got covid, ugh, its bloody awful! i hate that you sit on the edge and it collapses just for a start! she has bought herself a kingsized bed and mattress now, so im getting the other one back!
if you have any kind of back issues, its just not good enough!

You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
