Show HN: Luna Delivery – night packages for London

  • Um, are you associated with https://angel.co/luna / https://www.useluna.com/ ?

    Because if not, it's usually customary to at least use a different company name before cloning a US startup and launching it for a European market.

  • Have you considered adding an online business service that allows them to offer their customers evening delivery? (they ship to you - you ship to the customer)

    Some kind of partnership i guess. Nice idea. The website looks good, i'd just reduce a bit content fonts, should be a bit smaller than main header.

  • Copying another startup's idea is lame, but fine, you're just unoriginal. Copying another startup's idea AND name? You're disgusting.

  • So you've pretty much just ripped off Luna?

  • Wow, nice ripoff. Making me as a European really proud.

    The WHOIS shows it's still owned by shawnk.

  • I hope you're not forcing that nice young lady to deliver packages on the wintry streets of London, at midnight, wearing as little as she is in that photo!

  • The website is nice, but I'm not sure that the business model is sound.

    This is for two different reasons -

    1) If there was a solid business case for making deliveries between 6pm and 10pm (reasonable after-work hours), why aren't delivery companies already doing so? If there was a case for it, I'm sure they'd happily do it and charge extra for it - just like many of them charge extra to guarantee delivery before a certain time in the morning.

    1.1) Is missed deliveries really that big of a problem? Anecdotally, I order a lot of things online for delivery - to the extent that I managed to make over 190 orders on Amazon alone in one year. In the past two years or so, I've had less than a dozen parcels that couldn't be delivered on the first or second try. I live in a building with six other apartments - it's rare that someone isn't around to sign for a package.

    2) There's an increasing number of shops that offer a locker service like Amazon Locker Service. Since this doesn't cost me anything extra, other than the time taken to pick up the parcel, what's the incentive to use a service like yours?
