Title: Would you use a bitcoin concierge, willing to buy & deliver you anything?
Post by: primecoin on December 09, 2015, 10:25:34 AM
Been thinking of doing this in my local city for a while now.

- A concierge service that exclusively accepts bitcoin to get and deliver goods directly to you. Legal goods of course!

Do you like it? Would you use it?

trust is an issue. so as long as you are using it as a local service in your town. and the people in your town know where you live to sue you if you trn out to be a theif then great..

however if you want your personal life separate from your business life. you could simply ask people to sign a message using an address that has funds.. that way you know they can afford the goods (much like retailers balance check peoples debit cards/cheques. but funds dont move for a few days).

and then do payment on delivery. where they pay you at the door step before you hand over the goods.

escrows are another thing, look into localbitcoin as your mechanism for transfer

I could cover all of London and greater London too if I got some buddies to join me. Do you think it would be useful to people?

getting a weekly groceries from tesco's/asda/morrisons would be really useful.
edit
to save you time lugging around peoples shopping.. you could also put funds onto retail gift cards and sell them for bitcoin. that way people can order groceries themselves without you needing to do the hard work

Not sure where you guys are from, but in my country when you buy your groceries if you spend enough they deliver it to you for free anyway :p. There are a lot of different things people could argue, like getting your own products and necessities is good for exercise or whatever, but I can see this possibly being good. Keep working on it :)

I'd be willing to be open and public so that my customers could be hidden. Yeah I agree, localbitcoins would be a good mechanism for transfer.
