As an angeleno , a 1 hour window is way to long for me to sit around waiting for someone to pick up my laundry. With 99 cent fluff and fold being very plentiful in the areas you're targeting, its really hard to justify along with the extra price. Its much easier to just drop off during work and pick up after, but I do agree it is subjective. Best of luck.
$6 per piece is high for NYC if you plan on expanding here. You would do well here if you followed the seamless model and just provided the tech. Most of the time it is very difficult to understand dry cleaning staff over the phone.
As a Venice local, I wish you guys the best of luck. Here's my observations:<p>a) Those testimonials are obviously fake
b) There's an empty blue bar near the top
d) Would I get to preview or choose who the dry cleaner is? That's not obvious and I don't trust some dry cleaners.
e) Curious about how it works. Is it you coming to my house or the dry cleaner?
f) Are the ninjas hot chicks? That might persuade me to use the service.
Putting a<p><pre><code> maxwidth: 600px

on the form inputs, dropdown menus and order button makes the page much friendlier on the desktop, at least for me.
Come to Oakland soon please. My girlfriend is tired of folding my laundry. Also, LA seems like a curious place to launch versus the bay area as it is sooooo much more spread out and seems to have a much lower concentration of people who would love a service like this.
Basically you are just providing a general interface to dry cleaners with your apps. And simply taking a cut of each transaction. No need for overhead due to how most cleners already have pick up/ delivery service. Smart business model.
There's also something like that running here in Montreal Canada: <a href="https://www.nettoyeursexpress.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nettoyeursexpress.com/en/</a>
Good to see more of these!
Why is there a picture of Jay Parkinson in the testimonials section with a quote from "Mike L.". Did wash.io get permission from Jay to use his picture?
