E-Shopping: Delivery Methods
Delivery Methods for eCommerce Online Shopping
With all this easy access to goods and services that technology affords us, let’s take a moment to discover how our purchases get to us. Amazon delivered a staggering 5 billion packages in 2017. Like how and where we shop is changing, so too is the way products are delivered. We are all familiar with UPS and FedEx, but with volume increasing and the acceptable amount of time we are willing to wait ever decreasing, technology is being implemented in new and innovative ways in response.
Drones
Amazon made its first drone delivery in 2017 in Palm Springs, California. (It was a bottle of sunscreen.) Although this service, known as Prime Air, has serious potential for reducing both delivery times and costs, it still has a few obstacles to get over before it becomes commonplace. Most of these challenges are of the legal variety, such as privacy concerns and airspace regulations. But Amazon isn’t the only company looking to implement this option. Companies such as Mercedes and Domino’s are also exploring this method, so the question is not if you’ll be getting air delivery of your pizza, but rather when.
Self-driving Cars
Self-driving cars are revolutionizing delivery, and they aren’t science fiction. People in Arizona and California are now able to get same-day grocery delivery, no driver involved. In Miami, food delivery is being test-marketed. Companies like Google, Toyota, Ford, and GM all have a hand in developing the “autonomous vehicle” so expect to see this futuristic option being implemented in a city near you.
It isn’t just delivery that is going to be revolutionized by the self-driving vehicle; autonomous vehicles are also transforming shipping. Uber Freight is using self-driving trucks to carry beer across Colorado, and Embark, a startup company, is using autonomous driving to move Frigidaires in California. Considering that the largest expense in shipping by truck is the cost of the driver, expect to see a rapid shift toward driverless trucks, so much so that there are plans for the creation of dedicated lanes. These dedicated transport lanes for self-driving trucks working 24 hours a day could have a terrific impact on our traffic issues, especially around major metropolitan markets.
Client Reviews
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!

Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.

I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.

Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!

I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!

GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.

We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
John B
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
