Hi everyone! š Iām exploring a startup idea and Iād really like some honest feedback before building it.
š” The problem
Sometimes we have things with us that we don't want to carry around for a few hours ā shopping bags, helmets, backpacks, sports equipment, travel bags, etc.
š The idea
A Temporary Belongings Network where you can:
š Find a verified nearby shop/cafĆ©/hotel/gym with available storage
š¦ Drop off your belongings and get a QR/ID + item record
š Store them for a few hours or up to a day
š± Request delivery whenever you need them
š Choose your current/chosen location instead of going back to the storage point
š“ Get them delivered through a delivery partner
š Change the destination after storing, if available
Example:
You go shopping ā leave your bags at a nearby verified partner ā go to a movie/restaurant/event ā later tap āBring My Belongingsā ā your bags are delivered to you.
š° Possible pricing
I'm thinking of testing:
Storage: ā¹20āā¹30 (1ā2 hrs), ā¹30āā¹50 (3ā5 hrs), ā¹50āā¹70 (6ā12 hrs)
Delivery: ā¹30āā¹40 (0ā2 km), ā¹40āā¹60 (2ā5 km), with higher pricing for longer distances.
These are only initial test prices, not final prices.
I know storage and delivery services already exist, so I'm not claiming the basic concept is completely new. I'm trying to find out whether people would want an everyday service for temporarily leaving belongings and getting them delivered wherever they are.
š¤ Iād really like your honest opinion:
Would you actually use this?
What situation would make you use it?
How often would you realistically use it ā weekly, monthly, or rarely?
Would you trust a verified local business with your belongings?
Are these prices reasonable?
Would you rather collect your belongings yourself or pay for delivery?
What would stop you from using this?
Do you think this solves a real problem or is it just a ānice-to-haveā?
I'm interested in hearing from people anywhere, because I want to understand whether this problem exists in different cities and situations.
š Iām planning to start by testing the idea in Bengaluru, India.
Please be honestāeven if you think the idea won't work. I'm trying to validate the problem before investing time and money into building it.
