Folks, why don’t we have an uber-like service for deliveries from brick-and-mortar stores? Just to throw some money into the service, specify what you need, and get the product delivered to your door as is within half an hour (or thereabouts). The “courier” pays for the goods at the store. You pay the courier through the service after delivery. If you’re not happy, you complain to the service for a refund. The service checks what was requested against what was delivered. The courier’s responsibility is not to go for poorly specified items (or to ask additional questions). Accordingly, such a service would contract with store websites. Delivery within an hour since it’s assumed that all couriers live near both the store and the delivery recipient (otherwise, they wouldn’t be suggested by the system).

P.S. Found it. UberRush, http://www.deliv.co/ – turns out such services already exist
