I'm just a 9 to 5 guy, i don't even know anything about finance, investments or business, but i love this guy's video series.

Tom, you always leave us better than you finds us. Thank you for this case study and for the structured, calm and gentle way of presenting all of the case studies. You're like the teacher that we never had in shcool, and yes I dare to say "we" because I'm sure there are a lot of guys and gals here that feel the same way but maybe don't get the chance to write it in a comment :) Have a wonderful week-end!

2019, teachers come to you via Amazon lmao

InstaCart's 10% Service Fee is no longer optional. After being a customer for over a year, I renewed my membership only to find out that the service fee is now mandatory, although I had not been previously notified of this at the time of my renewal. When I asked InstaCart about this, they avoided the fact that there was no notification for this new charge, and suggested that I simply just not tip the shoppers in order to make up for the service charge. InstaCart shoppers are already typically not people you'd want to let in your front door; they replace cheaper items with the more expensive, or pricier, larger sizes, and they make many mistakes on your order. I don't know if Amazon may not be as quick to deliver, but I'm betting they are a darn site better by way of their service, period. Also: InstaCart does not tell you that if you've renewed your membership, but haven't placed an order within 30 days, you still have time to cancel the service. I'm glad I pestered them until I found all this out, but if you don't ask, InstaCart does not offer any information. InstaCart is a questionable company at best. Amazon wins.

The problem with Instacart is that they are screwing over their shoppers. Each week our rates have been going down a solid 50 cents per delivery and we only get paid 40 cents per item (not per unit). So someone can order 10 cases of water and we will only get paid for one. They keep over hiring shoppers and jobs are thinning out. There are some cities out there that are only paying a measly $1.50 per a delivery order! They definitely need to settle their work force because no one will work for pennies! I as well as many other shoppers are getting extremely fed up with their antics. Oh, not to mention, they recently found a ... "bug" that has been making some shopper's tips disappear mysteriously. This company needs to get it's poo together.

I've been getting groceries delivered once a month by a semi local grocery store chain (supplemented by another delivery service for bulk frozen goods) for a decade or so. so helpful for disabled people like myself.

Another great episode, thank you.

Amazon wouldn't charge the customer for the delivery, they would squeeze the providers to bear the cost. Not only that but once it dominates the market, they will push for lower grocery values. Deep pockets almost always win.

The valuations are insanely high considering a lot of super-markets have their own home delivery system(at least in portugal, a european semi-backwater country, meaning than most western europe countries have even higher percentage of super-markets with that service)

It's like going to college without the unnecessary filler and payment .

I'm working on educating people about autism, and hope to teach the methods from this channel to educate autistic people about entrepreneurship.

Bring back case studies!

I just adore this show. Thanks for putting them out.

It's like asking should Amazon be afraid of Alibaba,shopify?

Amazon delivery doesn’t work with lyft. They have their own delivery company called amazon flex. It has 2-3 shifts per day 7 days a week.

Tom i found your video today, i am really much into tech startups, businesses and what works and what not, your channel is going to be my go-to-place on youtube!

in the netherlands we already got grocery delivery, the supermarkets do it themselfs

You should have mentioned that Amazon UK have partnered with Morrisons for grocery shopping. Some are saying Morrisons have signed its death warrant, some say it's the only way for them to survive against a future grocery focused Amazon. But, some are saying that Morrisons might be a nice buy for them.

I learn this channel more than on what they teach University

Good One! On another note, Pinduoduo started in 2015 and it's IPO is coming soon. mkt cap pegged around $22bn. damn!

These case studies are EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks for doing these.

Tom, wow, you're a fellow believer in Christ! Blessed Resurrection Sunday!

Found this channel this morning been watching case studies for the last 6 hours amazing content

lol love the videos. I dont know why but when i look at his mustache it reminds me of someone who just went into a blizzard and their mustache froze.

"Hello everyone and welcome back to case studies with the biz doc" Epic, very glad you can continue with the channel guys, amazing as always!

Another great one why don't you do a case study on the UFC Dana and the Fertita brothers extraordinary things and they had battle with the government to legalise it and cooperated with the government and they are now at the forefront in battling PED use in sports. It's a good one.

Love your videos. Easily one of the most valuable channels I came across recently. PLEASE DO UNDER ARMOUR!!!

Probably will not be a customer of food delivery. Some things are ok but, fruit and vegetables must be perfect in that the thought of someone choosing individual pieces for me will fail on the the first delivery that contains poor or bad quality in either damaged, under or over ripe, fruit or vegetables. In the case of the other items such as bread, there is the sell by or use by date. Again, if the purchase by or use by date is the date of delivery or soon there after then a failure is introduced into my experience and a discontinue of the service will probably occur.

i am your fan tom ,thankyou for valued content :)

Just wanted to say this production value is amazing. I've always loved these case studies but they're getting even better. Didn't know you guys were in Dallas either. I'm in Arlington. Keep up the good work.

Your case studies are amazing! Thank you so much Tom

Great case study! The insight about maintaining focus on a strong workforce is valuable.

Just think some years ago everybody was worried about Walmart LMAO!

Amazon Flex is the service that works with independent contractors on delivery. It's just another gig like uber or doordash.

That sunday delivery was from Amazon Flex, Amazon's Uber-like delivery app/gig.

Great! 1 million is going to happen soon

Really enjoyed this! Please do more of them. So informative!!!

I find it odd that in 2018 grocery delivery companies are a new thing. We have been having groceries delivered in the UK for 10 years.

Can you do a case study for CGG? The stock is worth almost nothing now.

Fabulous video with terrific insights. Thank you!

Yes, home delivery services are growing. However, the smart grocery chains are turning their stores into "shopping experiences ". We have two grocery chains in our market that offer this, and remember, a delivery service can't offer that.😊

Amazon is delivering it's own packages in major cities with independent contractors. Something like 30 cities. The packages are fulfilled then freighted to local delivery stations then dispatched to costumer via contractor personal car. Prime now and logistics. They pay they're drivers better, they do it better, this move greatly increases profits by minizing shipping costs. In Louisville they deliver up to 20,000 packages a day. Amazon will crush them. They are incredibly innovative and effecient.

Nice of this guy to take time off from his full-time job on a NASCAR pit crew to make this video.

This is great video and a great account there is no account out there Like this hope you guys get to 1 million and to more and more subscribers this account is literally giving free high quality advice on entrenprenureship and many other case studies. There is no other place where you can get this high quality valuable entertainment

Hey Tom, could you maybe do a case study on Gibson Brands? They are all over the media for their weird acquisitions and behavior. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

I really hope they come to Australia, It's such a good idea

Wow amazing sir... Hats off to your works

Damn! That was a comprehensive, captivating case study!

@ Valueteinment > It will be nice if you can also Research and talk of Germany Top Companies/ startup

Sir, when will you make a case study on Berkshire Hathaway.

You left me better than you found me. Great Show.

grocery delivery is not new in my country. its been around longer than instacart

Shipt is another company that is like Instacart though they are recently got bought by Target Corporation that is kind of interesting considering that Shipt still has contracts with Target grocery and general store competitors. Tom this is another company that has rapid growth. Another great case study. Was the notes where too much work to make? Seems like having that on your website would bring in some views by making the content of the show notes searchable on search engines. Take care and hope to see that MLBAM case study.

I love these companies but I'm always curious . . . What the heck are you doing with millions of dollars in a start up? I understand valuations vs actual investments but these seed funds always make me wonder . . .

I gotta get me a "DAMN!!" T-shirt. Do they exist? Lol

GREAT JOB !!!!! ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD FOR EPISODES! !!

I would NEVER EVER use any online grocery delivery service because I don't trust anyone else other than myself to handle my food!

Thanq for doing case studies on Companies . Keep going

When I search for a product I go to Amazon and Groupon. I'm not sure if Amazon considers Groupon a competitor, but I go back and forth between the two equally. I also go to Letgo and Facebook Marketplace, if it's an item that I can purchase used. I'll take a look at Instacart...thanks for the tip.

Thanks Tom - great information and very well presented as always. instacart sure has a lot of A-list Investors. Wow.

Another great episode, prefer this than the interview. thank you.

Watching this in 2023, and damn did you call it.

I don't get it, why would you pay someone to get your groceries for your from the store you usually go to. They normally all ready have their own delivery service and the service is normally free, given that they order enough (which they normally do). What makes instacart so different?

Great content learnt alot about strategy

I enjoy your work. Thank you.

instacart doesn't stand a chance. i just checked, they're not available in my location and they forced me to create a fake account to find that out.

Amazon fears nothing, you do not mess with Amazon

Instacart's last-mile model is more cost effective than Amazon Fresh which channels everything through its gargantuan fulfillment centers, even when it's locally sourced. But Instacart's crowd-sourced courier model is proving unreliable. And when people pay for goods online, you better deliver, and get the order right.

how hard is it to get in to Y combinator? Obviously I think my idea is the best idea in the world along with everyone else that applies but anyone know their acceptance rates?

You should do Shopify, about how they are the leader of ecommerce websites and their pretty good IPO.

we have that same service in our local.

What about Postmates, aren't they do a similar service?

InstaCart is brilliant! They partnered with Wegmans (My local grocery store) I think i'm going to start using it!

Kindly do a study on Grab Taxi

Y combinator graduates are on fire!!

Thank you for the great episodes. I'd like to hear some of your analysis of F1...

Hey Tom, could you do a case study on the Xbox Kinect and why it was such a failure, despite Nintendo's success with the Wii.

Great video!! Make a video about Shopify!!

Please make the video on Lendingkart a fintech company in india growing eavery year in double digit

Guys you are phenomenal! Thanks a lot for the video.

Thanks for the content Tom. Greetings from the west indies #DAMNN

Such interesting insight! Thanks for this!

Please do mcdonalds past 20 years. Or barkbox or another large subscription box

Tom!! You missed talking about Shipt :/

Great video! Instacart is well positioned in their passion for local businesses. Equipping community could be the better way to go.

Surprised you didn't bring up HEB purchasing Favor. I wouldn't be suprised if HEB stops working with Instacart here in the near future.

Please do one of Rappi please

I GOT MY INSTACART CARD AND LANYARD! IM READY TO DELIVER GROCERIES OVER HERE IN KENNEWICK WA!

Same-day battery delivery? DAMN!!!

Do you think the same thing will happen to Amazon as Bell corporation (AT&T) back in the day???

Amazon fears no man but GOD lol jks 😅

Walmart is also looking to invest upto 10 billion USD in Flipkart which is Amazon's competitor in india

Delivery drivers should get paid $100 an hour for moving all the crap out there these days.

Love your videos!! So interesting

Amazon will just buy them if they are a real threat. Probably the exit strategy anyway is to sell to Amazon

Finance class!!Finance class!!Finance class!!Finance class!! Next!!Next!!Next!!Next!!Next!!

This industry, e-commerce in general is a pretty ugly battle to get into as a startup with Amazon and other e-commerce giants. Unfortunately, it's the industry with most of the market.

I love this channel!

Amazon is taking out everything bloody hell
