Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!

E-Shopping: Delivery Methods
Delivery Methods for eCommerce Online Shopping
With all this easy access to goods and services that technology affords us, let’s take a moment to discover how our purchases get to us. Amazon delivered a staggering 5 billion packages in 2017. Like how and where we shop is changing, so too is the way products are delivered. We are all familiar with UPS and FedEx, but with volume increasing and the acceptable amount of time we are willing to wait ever decreasing, technology is being implemented in new and innovative ways in response.
Drones
Amazon made its first drone delivery in 2017 in Palm Springs, California. (It was a bottle of sunscreen.) Although this service, known as Prime Air, has serious potential for reducing both delivery times and costs, it still has a few obstacles to get over before it becomes commonplace. Most of these challenges are of the legal variety, such as privacy concerns and airspace regulations. But Amazon isn’t the only company looking to implement this option. Companies such as Mercedes and Domino’s are also exploring this method, so the question is not if you’ll be getting air delivery of your pizza, but rather when.
Self-driving Cars
Self-driving cars are revolutionizing delivery, and they aren’t science fiction. People in Arizona and California are now able to get same-day grocery delivery, no driver involved. In Miami, food delivery is being test-marketed. Companies like Google, Toyota, Ford, and GM all have a hand in developing the “autonomous vehicle” so expect to see this futuristic option being implemented in a city near you.
It isn’t just delivery that is going to be revolutionized by the self-driving vehicle; autonomous vehicles are also transforming shipping. Uber Freight is using self-driving trucks to carry beer across Colorado, and Embark, a startup company, is using autonomous driving to move Frigidaires in California. Considering that the largest expense in shipping by truck is the cost of the driver, expect to see a rapid shift toward driverless trucks, so much so that there are plans for the creation of dedicated lanes. These dedicated transport lanes for self-driving trucks working 24 hours a day could have a terrific impact on our traffic issues, especially around major metropolitan markets.

I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.

Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.

I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.

My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.

It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.

GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.

I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
Jeff W
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.

Loretta J
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Susan S
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
