New Business??

[MBlessing]

I'm starting up my own dial-delivery service, alcohol, cigarettes, snacks, even may delve into neccesarys such as teabags milk etc. Anways, I have the stock ready to order, storage, database, telephone, advertisement, virtual paypal terminal to accept payments, but distribution is blocking my bussiness running. Firstly it is a home business and that would put any drivers off, also the fact that it is a late business (5pm - 2am) that also seems to be off putting. Is there any ideas that anyone can come up with :| ? Thank you.

hooking into existing networks such as cab firms?

 

[MBlessing]

Would they operate whilst still being on call? Or would it be a case of paying them for the fare to come and pick the stuff up, and to drop it off?

I've no idea - I just write software : )

Doesn't sound very different to pizza delivery and they always seem to have plenty of drivers in small cars and mopeds doing deliveries around the same times.

Haha, Ok now worries though, thanks for the idea though, gives me some options.

I know but, problem is its alcohol related delivery and going to peoples property where they may already be drunk and abusive, that can also put a downer on things.

I'd have thought the same applies to pizza deliveries though? Especially at weekends.

They (pizza delivery drivers) might be a better bet than taxi drivers as it's cheaper for them to fly around on mopeds. And they are used to the knocking on doors to deliver.

I'll look around for some pizza boys, I might hook up with a couple of the take-aways round the area, nothing like pizza hut would want to associate with it i doubt lol.

Are you licenced to sell these items

Can you trade from your house in this manner, as retail which is what you would be I think the local planning would have something to say

Actually after lots of hunting i found their website www.booze-up.com - turns out they do alcohol delivery to south london and surrey

Yippee!!!

 

[Chris Ashdown]

Have you checked on getting a licence yet, you need one to sell alcohol

 

[telemax]

Sounds like quite a good idea, would there be enough profit in it though without a minimum delivery?. For example if someone just wanted a box of PG tips, how much money would you really make?

Not trying to put a downer on it but worth thinking about
