I see this in two different contexts:
1. Urban area: Some people are genuinely busy, while some are busy doing "busy" work (useless meetings, facebook, twitter, <insert any app>, et al.). Heavily populated East and West Coast regions fall in this category. I can see this kind of niche service being popular.
2. Suburban area: People who work a fixed schedule (usually 9-5) which is most of the US. I just don't see why such a delivery service would be popular (and I'm probably wrong) other than small pockets (which would not make it economically viable).
On a larger note, I wonder if everyone wants on-demand service (food and drink, packages, groceries, drivers, etc.) what would a person need to earn to be able to afford these services? And what is job function of this person that he/she is unable to run these small errands? Also, if everyone is "ordering in" and hardly going out, what would it do to the social fabric of society?
