Give Postmates a try. Use this link to get a free delivery.
I didn’t make any progress on gift buying yesterday, which means that my online shopping options are getting pretty slim. I’m either going to have to pay for expedited shipping or step foot in a retail store. If I lived in San Francisco, CA, I’d have a hybrid option. Postmates is a company that offers “a revolutionary same day urban logistics & delivery platform.” Yesterday we talked about how Quiet Logistics has enabled e-commerce upstarts to compete with Amazon in terms of fulfillment. Postmates is doing that for local retailers. If it can be purchased in your city (legally of course), you can probably have Postmates deliver it to your door for a price starting at $6.99.
The normal Postmates deliver service is essentially a courier service with a beautiful mobile app front end. Their “Get It Now” service takes it a step further–it gives the courier “the ability to purchase goods on behalf of the customer at any retail store or merchant in a city.” As far as I can tell Postmates is only active in San Francisco, but their plan is to build a worldwide network. I hope they do, because I would totally use it. If you want to learn more about how people use Postmates, check out their testimonial videos. If you like what you see, check out Postmates’ Jobs page. Their positions require a little more experience than we usually post, but I still think it’s worth it for you to take look at these jobs: Generalist Engineer, iOS Engineer, Android Engineer, Product Designer, Customer Service Associate, and Launch Team Member.
