Service delivery on the day

Logistics speed is not only the domestic electric business is fighting to "life-and-death", since the construction of logistics team, delivery speed and accelerate. In foreign countries, the two electric giants Amazon and EBay are also speeding up their own logistics development, the launch of the "Day service delivery." The battle for electricity dealers has begun again.

Speeding up the storage construction in all parts

According to foreign media reports, ebay recently invited some San Francisco users to experience the ebay now activity, it is reported that this is known as the day of shopping applications, users can only download the application via the iphone or ipad, all the products purchased above are sold directly by local merchants, Include Target, Nordstrom and Walgreens. Once you click the "Bring It" button, the shopping service delivers the product to your location, including offices, homes, and cafes. If the first order is not more than 25 U.S. dollars, the company will be free of freight, after this, 5 dollars per order.

On the other side, Amazon is also starting to offer limited service on the day, and in 10 of the big cities such as Chicago, New York and Seattle, it will be able to enjoy some of the goods on the same day as a gold member of the Amazon, but it will cost US $3.99 per order. However, retail experts believe the company is expected to extend this model to more regions as it moves towards changing its business tax policy.

Amazon has already reached agreements with several U.S. states to build warehousing centers around the city. Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment.

A number of electrical companies aimed at logistics

The two retail giants delivered their services on the same day, taking a radically different approach. Amazon fulfills orders through its own warehouses, and ebay brings together major retailers and provides them with a unified interface. Analysts believe that companies that see Amazon as rivals may buy people through the ebay platform. And since traditional retailers are usually closer to customers, ebay's short-term distribution services are more advantageous.

Courier company Online Network Courierboard.com co-founder and COO Zhu En Haiford (June Hayford) believes that delivery on the day is complex, but in areas of demand concentration can certainly be achieved. This is a very demanding service and people are willing to pay extra.

It is understood that the Postmates and Instacart two start-ups were set up in San Francisco this summer, pledging to deliver groceries and office supplies within 1 hours. As for the effect, it remains to be seen.
