What Is Postmates?
Postmates is a delivery company that originally started in 2011 in San Francisco.
Their goal is to be an on-demand delivery service for customers to locally order restaurant food, groceries, and more.
Customers simply order what they want through the Postmates mobile app and a Postmates delivery driver picks it up and delivers it to the customer.
Where is Postmates available?
Postmates encourages people to shop locally by partnering with local businesses.
Postmates is more popular in larger urban areas, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, New York City, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas, and more.
But they have expanded to include smaller areas, too! You might be surprised to find that this service is available where you live! (I just checked and saw all kinds of restaurants available for delivery in my area!)
