The U.S. Postal Service has announced a
strategic alliance for Metro Post® with 1-800-FLOWERS.COM®,
the
world's leading florist and gift shop. Metro Post is a same day
delivery service trial that launched today in San Francisco,
just in time for last minute gift ideas during the holidays.
“Metro Post is a premium delivery service that will
revolutionize the shipping industry,” said Gary Reblin, vice president, Domestic Products. “Building relationships with
prominent retailers like 1-800-FLOWERS.COM will help us leverage
our capabilities by making same day delivery a standard option
on retail websites.”
Metro Post is designed to improve the experience of customers
shopping on e-commerce sites by offering same day delivery in a
metro area. The market test in San Francisco is expected to run
for one year.
Metro Post will be available for purchases involving four of 1-
800-FLOWERS.COM's gourmet gift brands, including popcorn and
specialty treats from The Popcorn Factory®; cookies and baked
gifts from Cheryl's®; premium chocolates and confections from
Fannie May® fine chocolates; and gift baskets and towers from 1-
800-Baskets.com®.
Consumers can utilize the Metro Post premium service online or
in-person at a retail store that carries the company's branded
gift items. The daily cut-off time for purchases delivered by
Metro Post is 2:00 p.m. with deliveries to occur between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
