1.Delivery

As labor costs are on the rise, express companies would often think twice before hiring full-time couriers.

Huxiu media pointed out that under the shared economy, companies can rely on the social resources that have been fully used through a networking platform matching delivery demands with part-time messengers that are located nearby.

With a new service named Uber Rush, the ride-sharing giant now allows people to book delivery services. All you need is to tell the app where the item is and where it needs to go, and consider it done.
