Bike Messenger Service Delivers Anything, Anytime (Seriously!)
Photo courtesy of Mission Mission
Like a lot of bike messengers in the age of the Internet, Chas Christiansen found himself out of a job. But he wasn’t going to hang his head low and sadly pedal his fixie into the sunset. Instead, he started his own bike messenger service—TCB (Taking Care of Business), a deluxe courier service aimed at bringing you anything you want, any time of day.
What’s the most popular order? “The food that you wished delivered—Little Star Pizza and barbeque from Memphis Minnie’s,” says Christiansen. But TCB also does their fair share of other things you might find yourself needing and not wanting to leave your house for: Nyquil, condoms, a six pack of beer, ice cream...
Now in their second year of business, TCB is partnering directly with a number of San Francisco restaurants that don’t normally deliver—like Ike’s Place, and Jay’s Cheesesteak. And with the partner restaurants, delivery is free—like the fresh dosas I got from Udupi Palace last week.
How’s it work? “Just go online and order it,” says Christensen, “or call us, if you prefer.” TCB delivers anywhere in the city and charges a relatively small fee, based on your location.
So the next time you get a craving for Ike’s sandwiches, a pint of Three Twins ice cream, and a bottle of whiskey, drop a line to TCB. Within minutes you’ll have all of your goodies at your door, and in the arms of a cute SF messenger. Ain’t 21st century living grand?
What a creative idea! But I think that is so tiring job. :D

For the record, TCB Courier will in fact deliever anywhere in the city for an apropriat price. If you have called a restaraunt that has partnered with TCB for delivery and the staff has told you that you are not in the zone, that is because the restaraunt and TCB have agreed on a set zone in which to offer free delivery based on distance from the retarunt to ensure food quality, it has nothing to do with hills, TCB goes up and down gnarly hills all day long. TCB will deliver anything to you from where ever, to where ever (within san francisco)for an apropriate price based on distance and factoring in other odd parameters through TCB Courier's personal point to point delievery service. All you have to do is call. If you live in the susnet and call Jays Cheesteaks for delivery they will tell you no. If you live out and the boones and call TCB Courier's personal line the rider will give you a quote and a time estitmate should you choose to accept the service.

"TCB delivers anywhere in the city "
Evidently the Sunset and the Richmond are no longer anywhere in the city. 7x7 should correct this article, because right now it is factually incorrect and gives bad PR to this company.

They'll deliver as long as they don't have to ride up hill to Bernal Heights/Outer Mission. I've ordered from Baby Blue's as well as Front Porch and they said they don't deliver for that reason so I rode my own bike to get it myself in record time.
