In the field of delivery, driving is death. The less you drive between stops, on average, the higher your delivery rate and the more efficient your delivery service. Less fuel costs, less labor costs, per package. Imagine five services competing over the same geographic area, each is suffering through a high average distance driver per stop. When one fails, the others each pick up some of its business and become more efficient. In reality, the best situation is if there is just one delivery service- the best for the delivery service of course, not necessarily the best for the customer. UberRUSH is out? Well, every other delivery service will breath a sigh of relief. They're all still fighting a hard battle (just read that article yesterday about Amazon Prime/Fresh not being profitable) but at least they'll be able to improve with one less competitor.
