This is exactly what is meant by lifestyle collection points - home delivery

is

becoming less important and will soon become a premium delivery service.

The

great thing about lifestyle collection points is the pure convenience -

already

in the US companies are delivering to offices and set up special discount

rates

for large firms whose staff wish to use the service - GroceryWorks for

instance

delivers fresh and frozen food to our Dallas office each day.   Lifestyle

collection points could include :


The office

The car park at the office

The boot of your car - leave the keys with reception

The school playground picking up the kids

The train station on the way home

The petrol forecourt

The pub

The post office

The bank

etc

etc


Now if only they could work out a way to fulfil Robin's dream of lifestyle

collection we'd be on our way.....  oh and thanks to blind Ashley for

pointing

out my disgusting use of American geek speek in an earlier email - never

ever

will I again use the phrase 'models emerging in the grocery space'.... well

not

to that  level of conceptual granularity anyway - aaagggghhhh it's got me

again

You might be halfway there there. I'm sure plenty of people on this list

already have books, cds, software, whatever delivered to their offices. How

long before employers realise that allowing reception to accept deliveries

might be a big benefit to time strapped employees. This could help delivery

costs as well, Tescos could offer to deliver to compnay x's offices, giving

company x employees a strong incentive to use the service and eliminate

those trips to the supermarket at the same time...


If I was was Tescos I'd be looking at signing up a few offices and seeing if

the idea catches on.
