UKNM: New distribution models

[Stewart Dean]

Regarding the BBC article.


Nothing that new. The drop off concept is already taking off via the Kosmos

and Urban Fetches of the US (for those who didn't know Urban Fetch is

gearing up for it's UK launch). Deals with the likes of Starbucks I see as

being more common. The concept of local shops acting like 'argos

aggregators' is also a good one but..


If delivery is within an hour, regardless of product (save custom made items

etc) you know when they're going to be there. I think the fact people have

to take a day off to buy a washing machine is very very dumb - time for a

new business model?


Cheers
