Description
Drizly is an online platform that operates in the United States and Canada, and offers the opportunity to purchase spirits (wine, beer, spirits) directly from local retailers located near the buyer. The purchases are then delivered directly to your home using the information entered during registration for the service; in this way deliveries are guaranteed within 60 minutes. Drizly can be accessed both from the web and from the dedicated app, available for both Android and iOS.
Business model
Online intermediary. Drizly does not sell directly, deliveries are paid by the supplier. The price of the bottles purchased is entirely passed on to the retailer. The customer typically has a delivery cost of around $ 5. Drizly's associated suppliers / partners pay a fee ranging from $ 100 up to $ 10,000 annually, based on sales volume and number of clicks on the supplier's link. In the list there are over 2000 products including wine, beer and spirits. Collaborate with 1200 stores and over 3000 resellers.
