Finally a service that I may not be able to live without. Uber is now offering a service to pick up your packages and take them to UPS, FedEx or USPS for only $5 (or $3 if you’re an Uber One member – whatever that is).
In our family we’re constantly ordering stuff, then sending it back. Blame Amazon’s 1-click for my family’s poor impulse control. I can honestly say that I take packages back to the UPS Store 2-3 times a week. I also have a PO Box there, so it’s kind of part of my routine.
It’s taken almost 14 years, $22.2 billion in Venture Capital funding over 20 rounds, and $32 billion in total losses, but Uber is now a profitable company. This latest package pickup and return business is sure to goose their quarterly profits nicely, while helping fools like me who order too many Amazon packages and hate having to return them.
