For my idea, the feedback that I got was generally good. However, the main point people were expressing to me was the actual logistics of this idea. Many people think that it will take a lot of time and effort to put this together, although I agree with this point, I think that at the end of the day, it is not that difficult of service. I think if you create an easy online platform for customers to submit their orders it would be easy to fulfill and deliver these orders. What I changed on my feedback was that I tried to explain that this delivery service would focus on convenience and ease of access. In order to motivate people to use this service they would have to fine it easier than going to the store and getting the products themselves.
I think as far as getting customers to use your product you wont have too much trouble because anymore now everything is done online and many places already have online ordering. I think you did a good job explaining your product and it seems like you know what you are talking about. I do not think there is a problem with the logistics of your idea, I think it is a really good idea and that we need a system like that for putting in orders. Here is a link to my blog post if you are interested: http://courtneydscott.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-2.html
The service you wish to do is actually quite a crowded market overall. Hence, I like that you are focusing on a niche of students without vehicles. Online ordering is quite commonplace now and the idea could work as people feel comfortable around indirect orders like this. The one concern I have relates to delivery will it be a sort of like a direct to door service or the student has to pick it up somewhere?

Hey Steve! I think you're idea is solid however I think it'll be hard to establish yourself in this market. I think you have to find products that are common in demand of these students, but also not available through amazon prime or other similar services because that will be your biggest issue when trying to become a successful business.
