I run engineering at Deliverr. Happy to answer any questions.


“Uber didn’t change the physical infrastructure of cars. They didn’t build their own taxis. What they did was create software that could connect excess capacity drivers,” Krakaris told TechCrunch. “Most warehouses aren’t going to be full. We are going in and filling that extra space they wouldn’t otherwise fill.”

Does Deliverr rely on the third party warehouse staff to perform fulfillment? How do you ensure SLA's are met?


That's right. Effectively we measure everything and have multi-factor performance metrics with our partners. So it's a bit more objective than Uber which is entirely based on user feedback. If we detect that a node in the system is performing poorly we will not use it.


Are you guys running bots to promote your service? What's with the new accounts saying overly nice, but shallow things about your service?


We definitely aren't. I posted this to our Slack and one of our new sales guys created an account and posted. When I saw it I asked him to take it down.


What's the best way to learn more if we are company selling off of shopify. Logistics is definitely a place where you can win and lose customers.


Please email info@deliverr.com - Deliverr is pre-integrated into shopify so it should be very easy to get started


Will Deliverr accept being the Ultimate Consignee on the shipping documentation for a foreign Importer of Record?


Unfortunately not today.


Ok, thanks.


As one of the people grumbling in the bit "ugh, Amazon" thread earlier today [1], I'm delighted to see somebody tackling this.
