Courier Services in Unexpected Places

Posted on July 21, 2019

Often when we think of courier service in MA; we envision traditional services.  Whether it’s medical couriers, truck couriers, or same-day delivery service, there is always some version of a courier on the road.  However, with the flair of today’s society, courier service in MA is taking a new direction.  Even though traditional services will maintain their role with strength and integrity, be on the lookout for these new trends.

7-Eleven

One of the most unexpected delivery services of the year is awarded to 7-Eleven.  Yes, you read that right.  With new service, 7Now, you can shop a variety of categories and bring “convenient” to a whole new level.  From party supplies to movie snacks, Slurpees on the beach, or steamed hot dogs at the park, 7-Eleven is there for you.

 

Krispy Kreme

Another unexpected delivery service that emerged in 2019 comes from Krispy Kreme.  This one is brilliant, really.  However, the serviced areas are few, and delivery is limited to a five-mile radius of the shop.  With a varying delivery costs, and minimum order of $7.99, it may be worth checking out their pick-up service.  Enabling customers to order ahead, Krispy Kreme is keeping par with competitors such as Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks.

 

Door Dash

Since we’re on the topic of food, we have to mention Door Dash.  Quickly growing in popularity, Door Dash provides people the opportunity to bring their favorite restaurant meal to their door.  Simply type in your zip code, and you’ll be presented with local restaurants.  Order and pay through the app, add a tip if you’d like, then a local driver will pick up your meal and deliver it to the address specified.  No cash exchange, just your favorite meal brought to satisfy your cravings.

 

Postmates

Similar to Door Dash, Postmates is another upcoming service taking the country by storm.  Not only does Postmates provide food service, but it also provides goods.  With their state-of-the-art technology, Postmates connects with local couriers who can deliver anything, and we mean anything, within minutes.  Empowering communities to shop locally without the wait, expect to see more of this name around.
