Ahh, thanks for the memory - I miss Kozmo! How can it be after almost 20 years we don't have a replacement? (OK I think we know why...)

- daniellarusso 6y agoI recommend the documentary ‘e - Dreams’ about the company. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0262021/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0262021/ Amazon was an early investor, and they now offer same day delivery in the metro areas Kozmo serviced. Netflix allowed for returning DVDs via pre-paid mailers, instead of dropping them off at Kozmo dropboxes at random local businesses. They also worked with some local eateries to deliver food. I had once ordered a dozen bagels, a Pokemon DVD, and I think a magazine in a single order. I loved the concept and the company. According to the documentary, they were on the path to profitability, but threatened the existing status quo of then incumbent providers.
- nickt 6y agoI wasn’t aware of that, many thanks for the recommendation.
