Deliv, a same-day delivery company, today announced alliances with three of America's largest mall operators, Simon Property Group, Macerich and Westfield, to provide the convenience of same-day service to shoppers in malls across the U.S. starting this holiday season. This follows a similar same-day delivery partnership announcement from General Growth Properties.
Collectively, the four mall operators manage more than 660 malls including thousands of retailers across the country. Each of the mall owners is leveraging Deliv's solution and building out the critical layer of infrastructure, including providing runners, concierge services, safe item storage, shipping consolidation locations and dedicated parking for crowd-sourced delivery vehicles.
Deliv's model for same-day delivery uses crowd-sourced delivery personnel and an intelligent technology platform to provide premium quality, same-day delivery at affordable prices. Managing a community of these on-demand drivers across the country, the Deliv platform incorporates smart routing and full transparency, including the ability for shoppers to watch their delivery on a map real time from pickup to their doorstep.
The four mall operators, which serve two billion shoppers a year, are commencing rollout of Deliv-powered services across nine malls including GGP's Stonestown Galleria (San Francisco), Eastridge (San Jose, Calif.), Glendale Galleria (Los Angeles), and Oakbrook Center (Chicago); Macerich's Santa Monica Place (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Westside Pavilion (Los Angeles); Simon's Stanford Shopping Center (Palo Alto, Calif.); and Westfield's Century City (Los Angeles) and Valley Fair (Santa Clara, Calif.).
