Sounds a lot like LaserShip which Amazon already uses sometimes here on the east coast. Minimally trained people delivering last mile packages using their own vehicle. Results are.... mixed.
- cdubzzz 11y agoInteresting. I had no idea LaserShip was using that model. I have only ever seen branded trucks and assumed they were a UPS type of service. Ditto on the mixed results. Although they once delivered a package to us at like 9PM on a Sunday. Unfortunately it was nothing exciting, hah.
- jimkri 11y agoI had a package delivered by LaserShip last week. The experience was fine for me, it was delivered around noon without damage. A women delivered the package and was driving what seemed to be her personal mini-van with a sticker on the side.

- ejdyksen 11y agoHere in Michigan, I've had quite a number of packages delivered by a company called Prestige. Similar thing: "independent contractors" using their own vehicles. Same mixed results.
- oh_sigh 11y agoI've had 5 packages in my life delivered by laser ship, and they fucked it up in various ways each time. I hate when I see a laser ship tracking number.
- JoblessWonder 11y agoWeird. We have a last mile shipper on the west coast they used to use called OnTrac and it seemed to work just fine. I'm not sure if they are still using them though since I think they have a contract with USPS now (even on Sundays).
- magic_beans 11y agoLaserShip is the absolute worst. I've lost at least 3 packages to them.
