San Francisco just fast-tracked 848 apartments over a Safeway, no public hearings required. Great for speed - nobody had to spec how that many units move daily parcels and grocery orders through one lobby. Link in the replies. #Multifamily #PropTech

85% of this Diwali's online orders in India were under ₹1,000 (Unicommerce, 138M+ order items). Same delivery cost, same RTO risk, way thinner margin per order. Volume's up - but is anyone pricing delivery against basket size? Link in the replies. #D2C #RTO

Amazon Now delivered 1-in-2 products in minutes across 120+ Indian cities this festive season, 1-in-3 orders same-day. That's the customer's baseline now. Still shipping D2C orders in 3-5 days? Link in the replies. #D2C #LastMile

USPS says package volume jumps ~40% this Oct-Dec, while its seasonal hiring is down to ~10K workers from ~40K a few years ago. That gap doesn't stay at the post office - it lands on your front desk the week before Thanksgiving. Link in the replies. #Multifamily #LastMile

Camden skipped pickleball courts but invested in letting delivery and rideshare drivers reach the door without staff juggling 600 keys. The real amenity fight isn't what residents tour, it's who gets into your hallway daily. Link in the replies. #Multifamily #PropTech

Tier 2/3 cities are now 60%+ of Flipkart & Amazon's festive order volume - but metros still drive the value. More orders from small towns doesn't mean more profit once COD/RTO costs bite. Growth story or vanity metric? Link in the replies. #D2C #RTO

GST Council cut e-commerce delivery tax 18% to 5% - looks like a win. But ITC is gone and goods transport agencies lost their tax-free status. Ship by road via a 3PL? You may have just gone from 0% to 5%, not down. Tell me I'm wrong. Link in the replies. #GST #D2C

Indian ecommerce sites averaged 43/100 on an AI agent readiness test - only 2 of 24 product pages had delivery costs an agent could read. We treat delivery/return info as a footnote; turns out that's exactly where shoppers (and bots) bail. Link in the replies. #D2C #Checkout
