Soon to make its debut in the U.S. , Shutl is a delivery service that gives its
customers the opportunity to receive an item purchased online within 90 minutes
of ordering it. It’s a large boast from a service that has yet to begin
operating in North America, but it’s a strategy they’re counting on to increase
revenue.
Shutl currently operates throughout the United Kingdom. In
addition to a quick delivery, the company offers customers the opportunity to
choose a specific one-hour block of time in which to receive their packages.
The service is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week including holidays
to make deliveries more convenient for customers.
Unlike most of its competitors, Shutl doesn’t maintain a
sizeable distribution network. Instead, the company chooses to partner with
couriers to pick up deliveries from retail stores and deliver them to customers
nearby. It’s a system designed mostly for short-range purchases close to a
customer’s home, but it’s a tool people can use to get what they want from a
local store without the burden of carrying it home themselves.
Do you think this would be a potentially profitable service
in the United States ?
