Urbanfetch

Encyclopedia : U : UR : URB : Urbanfetch

Urbanfetch was an Internet company founded in 1999 which enabled customers to order products (DVDs, music, books, snacks, gifts, etc.) online and have them delivered by bike messenger in under an hour within a certain delivery areas covering most of Manhattan and London. The company's business plan was essentially identical to that of Kozmo.com, which led to a lawsuit from them. Urbanfetch ceased operations in 2000, but its corporate delivery division was sold to Urban Express, a more traditional courier service.
