Wal-Mart Could Use Customers to Deliver Online Orders

[jonathan1683]

stupid idea, expecially if someone breaks into your house to steal that nice laptop you ordered. Or gives you a book inside a box instead.

I think it can work. With the right precautions.

[citation][nom]danielravennest[/nom]WalMart has enough employees that they can use them to deliver stuff on their way home, and just include the extra time and mileage as part of their regular pay. No extra third party liability, or theft risk above whatever the employee already represents.[/citation]

That's a great idea, even if it's like $5-$10 per package to deliver. The could almost double their pay if they had to deliver 5 packages on the way home. Plenty of employees would sign up i think.

Do you trust your neighbors this much? The same ones that will steal your trashcans and lawn gnomes? Not just no, but hell no.
