Anyway folks, Kozmo was a great and well planned approach and still it tanked. I think the problem is if you are getting a $250 ipod for $219 on some website for free shipping, do you wait for 2 days or say lets go licketyship. I wanna see Licketyship somehow provide savings and not just instant gratification. Don’t forget to tip the delivery guy.

I think there's value in here somewhere, but if one apparently very well funded company failed at this, I'd be curious how these guys will make it work. On the shipping note, if I were in this space, I'd consider setting up an international shipping service - online shoppers located in other countries (particularly canada and UK) want very much to shop U.S.-based websites but very few ship outside of the country. Both markets (canada and UK) are still fairly underserved in terms of online shopping options within their own borders so the combined issues have created a potential demand that could easily be filled - you just have the goods shipped to you and then send it out to them. A few have tried to do this (if memory serves "shop the states" was one) but I don't know that they had the awareness among to really jam on it. Interesting.

Obviously you have to solve the problem of trust, but if you can figure that out, all the service has to do is connect people and make a small cut. I bet there are many folks out there that would love to earn some extra money for a very short period of time and have no other easy way to do it. Even couriers on their day off might be interested as they would get the entire fee! The site could deal with all the cash and money handling. Just my .02 cents, loved Kozmo though, hope these guys come to Seattle soon ! Someone should do a similar service and utilize college kids / Anyone with a car willing to make some money.

They also seem to charge a premium on the product, so are also paying probably 10% more for the product. So if you want and need it bad enough you will pay more.

I may be wrong, but as I recall Kosmo was either profitable or near profitable in the NYC market. Their huge losses were mostly due to massive rushed expansion and trying to export the NYC conceived and developed business models to cities that required far more time and money to cover effectively. I would think with a reasonable volume of orders in NYC you could have a guy on a bike making several deliveries each hour which I would think would put delivery cost at a few dollars at most, and require significantly less than $20 to break even on.

If you live in the bay area there is nothing better at the moment. Sure you think 9.99 is a lot of money, but when you're buying a $300 iPod for a Christmas present, hell yeah I'll just sit at home in my underwear and let some body bring it to my house. Don't understand the complaints, sure not everyone is gonna use it, but if you're lazy and want something fast this is a great service. Totally recommend them. Lickety Ship is an awesome service.

First: they do not sell anything you want. The items you can purchase is rather limited. There are three shopping categories: * Audio - Portable (14) * Car Accessories (23) * Games & Toys (49) The Kozmo difference: Kozmo would bring you anything...even a candy bar. Second: You aren't paying for the cheapest deal in the city...you are paying for fast/guaranteed delivery. How do they do this? LicketyShip selects the store(s) that they want to use for their business. For all we know that means they only work with Best Buy on Harrison Street. If a pizza delivery company can send you a pie for $15 (delivery included), then I'm sure that LicketyShip can make money if they are only using one (or a handful) of selected stores. The Kozmo difference: Kozmo carried a lot of inventory. LicketyShip carries none. Sounds like a winner to me: making money off of lazy & busy people. How will they make money?
