Crowdshipping Survey

Page 1/3

This survey is being conducted as part of on-going academic research project at the City College of New York. The purpose of this project is to examine the market for the emerging type of shopping/home delivery called crowdshipping.
In crowdshipping, ordinary people, rather than professional service providers, deliver goods.  Using an internet-based platform, individual shoppers can request delivery services from individual participating providers, who, for a negotiated cost, deliver goods from local stores, warehouses, or other origins. 

This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete.  Thanks for your participation!
