Now if anyone was reallly clever, they would put money into developing a

cold box to go outside people's front doors that could be openened with a

universal key and a particular one so it wouldn;t matter whether you were in

or out when the tesco (oops) man delivered, they'd just pop it in your box.

A letter box for food if you will.....the next "must have" for the high

spending internet generation? (Ok sorry, feeling a bit crazy today...)

I'm convinced the answer will come, and will be something that is

revolutionary rather than evolutionary. Some of the "collection point" ideas

from the US look interesting but still seem to be fundamentally flawed.

Ironically whenever I order something for delivery to my home I seem to end

up taking a "we tried to deliver a parcel to you" card down to the sorting

office so why not cut out the middle (post) man and just leave it there for

me in the first place?


Or is it even more of an irony that no-one can successfully deliver a

fulfillment solution?
