Doormanonline After Hour and Weekend Deliveries

Living in NYC, and being an entrepreneur myself, I work more than a regular employee. I do 90% of my shopping online and my main problem was ordering something online and getting it delivered to my apartment.

We don’t have a doorman at our apartment, and outside door is always locked. If my online order is being delivered by Fedex, DHL or UPS, there is a big chance that I will find a failed delivery attempt slip on my door. I don’t like getting my order delivered to my office, because I have to carry it back home. If it’s a small package, it may work, but if it’s a large one, it becomes a big hassle.

While trying to find a solution for this problem, I have found a website called Doormanonline.com , a New Jersey based service company delivering your packages afterhour or during the weekends. For now, they serve to New Jersey and expanding to New York Metro Area, and they have plannings expanding nationwide.

Their business model depends on a simple, but smart idea. Here’s how it works (from Doormanonline.com) :

How it works?

It’s simple! When you’re done with your online shopping, at the checkout specify the Doorman Online address as the shipping address and state c/o Doorman Online LLC, along with your own name as receiver’s name. Then go to our website, register your purchase and indicate the desired delivery time. We will inform you as soon as we get your package, confirm delivery time with you and deliver the package.
