When I got home this evening, there was a big blue nylon bag attached to the front door.



The bag measures about 2 feet by 3 feet. Attached to the bag is a price list for drycleaning with http://www.800dryclean.com/. Typical prices:

• Men's shirts on hangars $1.60
• Ladies shirts on hangars $4.50
• 2 piece suits $8.75

Etc.

There is another card attached to the bag that says, "We'll be back in your neighborhood on Saturday. We provide these bags for our customers free of charge. If you never plan on trying our service, please return our bag to your front door on saturday morning." It's a pretty nice waterproof nylon bag with a pull string that would be perfect for traveling or backpacking. I'd imagine that they lose a lot of bags this way.

So, the basic idea is that they come through the neighborhood on Monday and Thursday. If you leave the bag at your door on Monday you get your clothes back on Thursday.

I've been interested in home delivery services ever since Webvan. It will be interesting to see if this one lasts.
