For those of us unfamilir with Delivrr:
Our Mission:
Large online marketplaces like Amazon have trained consumers to expect products delivered to their doorsteps within 1-2 days at no extra cost. As a result, millions of merchants on other marketplaces are falling behind, unable to cost-effectively deliver products to their customers within 1-2 days. Our mission is to enable any merchant, regardless of size, to delight their customers with fast and cost-effective fulfillment.
- hef19898 4y agoThat sounds like a very good summary of what I tried a couple of years ago. good to see the idea succeed!
- vdfs 4y agoShopify is actually doing that too, they have a fulfillment service/network https://www.shopify.com/fulfillment https://www.shopify.com/fulfillment
- Avalaxy 4y agoSounds just like a normal postal service then? At least in my country it's the default that the national post service delivers your packages in 1 day.
- jeffreyrogers 4y agoIt takes several days to drive across the US. You need a logistics network with warehouses spread across the country to service a meaningful portion of the country in 1-2 days.
- colinmhayes 4y agoSmall merchants probably don't want to be going to the post office multiple times a day. Even if they were large enough for that to make sense the US is too big for cost effective next day delivery to the entire country, you need to have distribution centers all over.
- KoftaBob 4y agoI assume based on your bio, that your country is the Netherlands? The US is 236x the size of the Netherlands, so you can imagine getting something to a customer in 1-2 days requires a more complex and extensive logistics system.
- rabidonrails 4y agoBut to be fair, in your country (looks like NL) the square mileage is 16,040. The US has a sq mileage of the US is 3,797,000.
