How do I get stuff to and from my "Everywhere locker". And when and how can I retrieve it again?

Initially we are using UberRush or Postmates API to use their drivers while we scale up the service.

They'll pick it up from you, store it in one of our "flash storage" facilities, and you request it back when you want.

Can be returned back anywhere (geography limitations initially).

Hmm. That does sound neat. When and where do you launch initially?

Launching in NYC initially due to density. Sign up on the waitlist as future city launches will be based on where demand is. Freebies for our first waitlist users!

This ought to be expensive. But if it is expensive no one is gonna use it.

In the long run, this will be cheaper than the cost of 2 Uber Pools (<$15 per Bounce). In the short term, we can keep prices between $15-30 within a "zone."

We have a plan to drive the cost down even further with a different model that we'll roll out eventually as well...
