Same day delivery option appears on Apple Store app


MacRumors notes that the Apple Store App now features shipping options from Postmates service, where service is available. Postmates operates in a few select large USA cities. MacRumors reports that if your delivery address is within a Postmates service area, a new shipping option will be available for delivery that day.

The service appears to run a flat $19 plus taxes. Promises ship times can vary from an hour to four, it appears. Obviously a premium for something you must have right later that day, but unwilling to leave the house.

Still, a cool service. Postmates reminds me of the ill-fated Kozmo.com where you could basically get anything you wanted delivered in an hour. Kozmo, however, offered free delivery, which might have had something to do with its demise.
