Good ad copy.

Needs a large button at bottom of post which says "Learn about API" or similar, rather than a small hyperlink on "here" in the middle of the post.

Really cool, surprised there isn't more discussion about this. Postmates seems like a great service to exist as an API - I predict many hackathon projects using this in the future.

Good idea. We will fix asap.

How can a partner know you are not going to compete with him/her? I mean a lot of the recent services you guys launched (Essentials, Alchohol, Flowers) show some kind of vertical integration. What if one of your partner grows like crazy - will you compete with them the way Amazon does with its 3rd party sellers?

Great news otherwise. This will give Uber a run for their money.
