Imagine if you wanted to ship something to the opposite part of the country and you didn’t want to look for a big box, wait in a queue or go to the post office. You wanted someone to pick up the package from your house and deliver it to the desired destination.
The Shyp app made sure you got the convenience of getting items delivered without going anywhere. Their motto was: “We’ll Take It From Here”. The customers had to click a picture of the package, upload it through the app and the delivery agent would come and pick it up. The best thing about this service was they charged only $5 for it.
This on demand shipping business succeeded in California as people started recognising it as Uber For Deliveries. The business then expanded to Chicago and Newyork, where it didn’t do quite well. Subsequently, after 5 years Shyp app failed to function in the marketplace.
In this blog, we will get to know what is a Shyp app, where did it go wrong and things you should keep in mind to make your app a success.
