If we think of Uber as a concept, rather than as App capable of destroying any records of sales, It is simple enough to understand that the application possibilities are endless. We are faced with an idea that is rooted in the sharing economy, but then ends to weave through the streets of the purest business. The genius of intuition background, however, remains, and is indisputable. Will have thought of this Amazon, the world of e-commerce giant, ready to launch a new service in America have already dubbed the Uber deliveries.

The news is the Wall Street Journal, which tells how the company of Jeff Bezos is really very close to developing an App that will make immediately operational this new mode of delivery. The operation is quite understandable, given the nickname that has been associated: the delivery of parcels are made by ordinary citizens who, through an application, can intercept those intended to address that will cross along their way. Ergo: citizens become bellboys. Obviously, just like Uber, who delivers the goods will be entitled to compensation from Amazon (which in this case could do without specialized companies note). And you can bet that even in this case, the payment will be identified as “expenses”, so as to protect from the tax authorities.

Returning to the service, which according to the US blog will be called “On my way”, it must be said that for the past few months the sector of home delivery is experiencing moments of real innovation, especially in the field of catering. Uber itself is following this path, with “UberEats”, and now would like to expand its network by involving the major brands of clothing. But things do not seem to go very well. Amazon, however, will not be limited to food. The company Bezos seems to have intended to use the service to all of its deliveries, cutting the costs of this industry, which last year grew by 31%. How long will it so “On my way” is put into operation it is still early to tell. Certainly, however, it can expect new long faces. After the taxi drivers also bellhops? The possibilities are very high.
