Not too long ago, ordering something online meant waiting weeks before it was delivered.
That’s all changed.
Today, we’re almost completely accustomed to orders that process immediately and arrive within days.
Now, new services promise to get your order from screen to door in hours.
Their web site, along with their appsfor iOSandfor Android, put restaurants and local stores at your fingertips.
They evenhire people in your community to deliver.
You may notice a few recognizable names when you pull up your city though.
Additionally, there’s a 9% service fee applied to your purchase price.
Aside from that however, there are no membership fees or costs.
These may be the big ones right now, but they’re far from alone.
