A service delivering the post to you wherever you are - no need to agree a place and time. The postie finds you with GPS, mobile phone signal and hunting instincts.
Is it just me, or does anyone else like the idea of ordering a package for same day delivery and then driving like something out of
The Italian Job to evade the courier?
This idea is a corollary of My Own Postal Code

Semi - baked in Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49." |

Kind of baked with couriers... I once needed a new mobile phone to be delivered, but was away from home for a week, out in the middle of the street all day every day... |
|
| |
They sorted it out so the courier fella pulled up to me in the middle of the street, clicked in a newly charged up battery and I was on my way... now THAT is service. |

Re Pynchon, If customers had to carry trash cans around with them then I could see the connection. |

My recollection of the book does not include users of the secret postal service having to carry around trash cans with them, so I don't really get what you mean. |
