Postmates delivers to Bloomingdale

Did you see this 12-22-2013 Washington Post article on Postmates?

I didn't see it, either.

I have copied in a few paragraphs from this article.  You can click on the link to read the entire story.

Note that the article mentions that it delivers to "parts of Bloomingdale."  I called Postmates in San Francisco for clarification.

I was advised that Postmates delivers west of North Capitol Street and north of Florida Avenue NW.

I am curious if anyone in Bloomingdale has used Postmates.

 This is the Postmates logo.

Postmates arrives in the District with a promise to deliver anything in under an hour

The only thing faster than the pace of innovation in the shipping industry is how quickly companies want to actually deliver items to your door.
                

Amazon.com began with free two-day shipping, then same-day service in certain markets and now dreams of delivery by flying drones. Other Internet companies, including Google and eBay, are also testing same-day delivery.

         

Postmates has carved out a niche by delivering orders from local restaurants and retailers to your home or office within an hour. It’s a business driven by consumers’ desire for instant gratification and efficiency, executives say.
            

“There is a radical reduction of time between saying you want something and receiving it, and it’s not just delivery, it’s a whole bunch of services,” founder Bastian Lehmann said.
                                                                    

Postmates debuted earlier this month in D.C., a city executives said is brimming with busy professionals who have ample money, but little time to spend it. The upstart began in San Francisco two years ago before expanding to Seattle and New York.

Postmates primarily serves Washington’s Northwest quadrant, with the exceptions of Capitol Hill, Southwest Waterfront, the National Mall and parts of Bloomingdale. The delivery fee ranges from $5.50 to $15.50 depending on the distance between sites.
