Postmates Bringing 'One-Hour Delivery' To Milwaukee

This time last week, I was writing about Google Express' southeastern Wisconsin debut. Just one week later, I got an email from on-demand delivery competitor Postmates, announcing plans to debut this Thursday in select parts of Milwaukee and the north shore.

Postmates, based in San Francisco, is one of several competitors in the fast-paced delivery startup race. However, it's only the second of the big names to come to metro Milwaukee, following Google Inc.'s express delivery debut last week.

Others in the race include restaurant delivery startups such as Palo Alto, Calif.-based DoorDash and, closer to home, Madison's EatStreet Inc. There's also Amazon's Prime Now one-hour delivery service and the burgeoning delivery options from Uber Technologies Inc., of San Francisco, just to name a few of the biggest.
