The idea is for some nationwide retailer such as Walmart™ to also provide a shipping service similar to UPS, except that there are no pickups and no deliveries. Shipments can only be from one Walmart store to another.
The stores already have local storage facilities and trucks going back and forth from centralized warehouses, so adding this service should not involve adding very much expense. Since the expense of local pickup and delivery is eliminated, shipping charges should be much less than UPS. This would be a great boon for online auctions, such as Ebay, because the shipping charges are a huge overhead.
1. Each shipment must be taken to a Walmart store to be shipped.
2. Each shipment can be tracked over the Internet.
3. Each shipment must be picked up at the nearest Walmart store.
4. If a package is shipped to the same store where it is to be picked up, then the shipping charge could be even lower.
5. The need for large storage facilities at the individual stores could be eliminated by charging a penalty if a package is not picked up within a week.
