Online still can't compete with shoppers that once something same day. That's where they should focus, not price.

- rahimnathwani 13y agoHere in China, at least in tier-1 cities, same-day delivery is common for groceries and, to a lesser extent, for electronics and books. IIRC one of the large multiple-category online retailers promises delivery within 4 hours if you order by 11am.

- babby 13y agoI wonder if the delivery industry is only going to get bigger, and actually employ more humans, considering scenarios like yours. I guess with drones and self driving cars it can be utterly automated, but really that won't happen for at least 5 years and only in top tier cities. I've always respected the delivery/transport industry. It's just so utterly necessary and will always be such.
