Haul will be a city marketplace of local retailers' stock with on-demand delivery, offering an alternative to shipping.
The goal is to offer products more reliably and quickly than Amazon or individual companies' online stores while charging less than the user would've paid for shipping. Each city will have a separate marketplace with immediately deliverable inventory. The model largely prevents against counterfeits, enables delivery within an hour, and more.
We also have plans with some retailers to offer an alternative to lugging bags around after shopping in-store, via using "HaulHome" at checkout to have your purchase delivered home within a timeframe you specify.
Would love to receive input from the community here!
