Milkmen to drive the rounds for ecommerce

By Dominic Maher, 11 July 2000 18:00

NEWS Milkmen in the UK will not only be delivering fresh dairy products to your doorstep but also asking you to sign for the latest PC or the latest George Michael CD. Express Dairies has acquired a stake in m-box, an online shopping, customer service and fulfilment company in a move that will see the electric milk floats delivering goods to customers. Once milkmen have completed their early morning drop-offs, the 4,000 floats are left idle. The plan will use the depots as delivery centres for online retailers.
