A new delivery service called «Stash» has launched in Zurich, aiming to deliver groceries and non-food items in less than ten minutes. This is reported by the Handelszeitung in its latest issue.

The start-up company Stash currently supplies districts 4 and 5 with a range of almost 500 everyday items. Deliveries are made by bike from a warehouse near Zurich's main railway station by Stash employees.
Since the launch on February 12, the time limit has been met in all but one case, Stash CEO Simon Koch told the Handelszeitung: "So far, we have always managed to deliver in five to eight minutes. The fastest delivery was to the customer in 212 seconds. So far, we haven't managed it once and only delivered in eleven minutes because we had a technical problem with the navigation."
Experts believe that the start-up, which is based on international role models such as GoPuff in the USA or Gorillas in Germany, has good prospects. If the Stash pilot project, which is set to last four to eight weeks, is successful, the company is considering expanding in small steps, as Simon Koch explains to the Handelszeitung says: "Then Stash will expand into other Zurich districts." In addition, "medium-sized Swiss cities are also interesting for our service", says the head of Stash.
