PDD, pre-decided delivery, is here!

In a stunning breakthrough in cognitive-retail tech, quick commerce has broken the equivalent of the speed of light. Now, it seems your orders can arrive before you have even ordered them. What is more interesting is that initial data shows that the delivery now can take place even before you think of ordering items. If confirmed, this could not just push the retail industry into a quantum hyperdrive but actually solve that perennial problem of consumers unsure of what they want to buy.

Critics, as is wont with critics, have found the news suspicious, and an extension of manufacturers and retailers foisting their goods and services on to 'unsuspecting' customers. After all, they say, if you pay for items that are delivered to you even before you knew you wanted them, did you actually want them in the first place? Most consumers who have beta-tested the technology developed by Oxford Harvard Cornell School of Technology in Bathinda have given positive feedback. Powered by predictive algorithms, quantum logistics and AI-harnessed data that knows that a person is about to crave banana chips at 3.17 p.m., the PDD (pre-decided delivery) era may be upon us. So, next time your doorbell rings and you find a packet of turmeric, a ukulele or a divorce lawyer's business card, don't be alarmed. The future has arrived. And it brought snacks.
