Amazing.

It was only a matter of time before the Big Logistics Brains worked out that stores are good because the bring inventory close in a smart way ... and warehouse aren't and don't.

New Logistics coming, including Last Meter®.

We announced new tools to help sellers offer their products globally via Amazon’s 21 WW stores -- including the option to have Amazon provide Customer Service for their orders -- for free for sellers that meet certain performance metrics. #AmazonAccelerate https://t.co/wSf7zJ8No0

Logistics aggregation is coming. It's the only way.

The 15 minute city is not built on infinite 15 minute individual deliveries.

To all those who say package lockers are the solution to last mile chaos at #lastmeter: welcome to the era of forgotten groceries in the locker.

Smell the quality of the building management on every floor!

Huge shoutout to the girl in my building who lets her hellofresh rot in the mail room every week u make me feel like albert einstein honestly

And now for everyone long on last mile 'innovation' ie subsidy and market chaos.

At best musical chairs, more likely a race to the bottom.

10/13 company had an impenetrable moat, were wrong. They actually didn't understand the business and industry well enough, but they thought so. Buffett knows what it means to have true understanding of a business and you simply won't have it for most businesses out there.

Last Meter® under discussion by @cilt_global @NYC_DOT.

tl;dr

- buildings and post-last-mile spaces are crucial, package lockers may not be the answer
- aggregated and time-shifted delivery is essential

Drone delivery update: not for the next 10 YEARS.

Turns out the hard bit is the ... the only bit that matters (... the 'delivery' bit).

Uber's pricing model now becoming clear.

[LAST METER® @lastmeter_]

Here's to reviving the old chestnut of 'price-dumping' in last-mile logistics.

@Post_Market will lead the charge.

The 'business' of lastmile is currently about destroying markets and manhandling the consumer - not about making markets or even money.

And so it begins.

Disagregated Last Mile delivery is a like disaggregated electricity provsion: 'infrastructure' everywhere, at the expense of cities, real estate and citizens.

Who's going to pay this given there's no money in last mile?

A new fee on package deliveries pitched as way to help pay for Pa.’s roads and bridges https://t.co/bSWskRLRSq

@Soengle @varadh It did lose money (SFGate piece) but there's lots of ways to improve it (Uber research piece)

It's definitely the model of rideshare that cities and riders could get behind at scale, if it paid on all sides.

[LAST METER® @lastmeter_]

The Last Meter® conversation shifts the focus from 'logistics everywhere' to

- public and private assets being used and rewarded appropriately
- safety
- trust

Everyone will be affected. The future does not belong to Amazon.

When you add up the numbers, platform delivery cos right now

- don't get efficient at scale
- offer a better solution for delivery to restaurants than local providers
- become beloved, trusted partners to anyone

So what's next? https://t.co/M6abEoUs5Q

Regulation of hot food delivery has only just begun.

There's most food safety law abt

kitchen > waiter > table

than

kitchen > packaging > waiting > unknown vehicle > unknown driver > unknown route > waiting > home

Regulators might one day notice!

Uber will add labels to Uber Eats in PA and DC saying app menu prices might be higher than those charged by restaurants, after pressure from the states' AGs (@jackiedavalos1 / Bloomberg)

RT @jmanooch: This is current state by analogy of #lastmeter logistics.

"Just ram another box in. Just send another vehicle. It will all work out."

No it won't. Buildings are natural aggregators & need integration support. Like Last Meter®.

But sure,… https://t.co/V6ZQpyw7CP

RT @jmanooch: @georgeywang @brettnorthart @micahjay1 Yes but also nurses in convenient vehicles with equipment stored at the right location at the #lastmeter.

RT @jmanooch: Real estate owners thinking package lockers will solve service integration are like kids talking into tin cans with strings thinking they are making a cellphone call.

It's time for #lastmeter. @antonyslumbers @ZacharyAarons @ZachAaronMTL https://t.co/eg4ELnMxc0

[LAST METER® @lastmeter_]

RT @jmanooch: For more spacious apartments, in larger buildings, even 2-3% of the apartment volume cycling through the year leads to 1000s of % of overallocation of available #lastmeter space.
