This reminded me of E-Dreams... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Dreams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Dreams

  I was actually just thinking, “WebVan and Kozmo were just ahead of their time” — now both businesses had major issues even aside from the .com bust (I haven’t seen E-Dreams in at least 10 years but I recall it glossing over many of the whys behind the company’s failing, probably because when the director started working on it, it was a different story. Startup.com did a better job pivoting in that respect), but the ideas of nearly 20 years ago are now finally ready, thanks to improved logistics, customer mindset, and infrastructure changes. Speaking of Kozmo, I was in high school when Kozmo was briefly in Atlanta, and I knew it couldn’t last. I would have DVDs and candy delivered to class for almost nothing.
