Shipbird, A Crowdsourcing Delivery
Service, Offers A Greener Option for
Businesses
Shipbird, a delivery service that allows users to employ ?on your way? technology, offers a cleaner, more environmentally-friendly option for businesses to distribute packages throughout the Bay Area.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 19, 2014 /PressReleasePing/ – Shipbird, a delivery service that allows users to employ ‘on your way’ technology, offers a cleaner, more environmentallyfriendly option for businesses to distribute packages throughout the Bay Area.

With a focus on helping daily commuters earn extra money while driving, biking, or taking public transportation along their normal daily route, Shipbird makes it easier than ever to send and receive packages in a cost-effective way.

Shipbird works by colleting user data from potential couriers who sign up at https://shipbird.com/. Shipbird then uses that data to identify the couriers who will be contacted when a delivery order comes in. Only couriers who live, work, or commute along the route of the delivery are notified of the job, making extra travel to and from delivery route obsolete. “Because we collect data that users enter into our system, we know where they begin their commute, and where they’re going,” says Marc Diamond, CEO of Shipbird. “Once delivery orders come in, we’re able to target our users who are in already in that specific area, eliminating the need for a special trip.”

Since launching in May, hundreds of small businesses around the Bay Area have benefitted from Shipbird’s same-day delivery service. Shipbird’s delivery fees are much lower than traditional delivery services, and Shipbird allows senders the flexibility of setting delivery request either days in advance, or immediately. In addition, Shipbird couriers work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are available whenever senders need them.

More than 1,300 drivers have signed up to work with Shipbird, and

    4.3 At Proactive Personnel we do not require the use of a courier service. If we ever did need to use one there are numerous companies ranging from DHL to Fedex that we could use. If we had a large parcel that needed to be delivered we would pay for the company to come collect it and then deliver it to the destination. The cost involves the labour done by the driver, the fuel and the safety of the package.…

    Airborne Express is unique to its competitors in several ways. First of all, Airborne Express targets business customers that regularly ship large volume of urgent items, primarily to other business locations, by-passing residential deliveries and infrequent shippers. This allows the company to focus its deliveries to major metropolitan areas to as much as 80 – 85% (compared to below 60% for FedEx and UPS). In order to secure large business accounts, Airborne markets itself as a “solution-oriented express carrier” by performing highly customized services for companies such as Nike, Compaq, Technicolor and Xerox. For example, Airborne invested in special sort codes to emit a beep in each barcode scanner when scanning a Xerox package to ensure that those packages are delivered first.…

    Calyx & Corolla has pioneered the use of express shipping to deliver a highly perishable and fragile product. Through effective marketing and high level of service (both to the customer and with the product), the company has positioned itself as an affordable alternative to the traditional wire service (FTD) and local flower shop. However, the competition is well entrenched, as are the habits of the traditional consumer, who do not necessarily equate ordering flowers with the traditional dry goods /clothing catalog channel.…
