2-Day Express delivery is a snail's pace in today's world of online and phone purchasing. The pizza industry may have pioneered speedy delivery when Domino's offered its' a 30-minute guarantee. More recently, services like Foodkick and Amazon

deliver pantry items in a snap. Even luxury online retailers like Net-A-Porter offer concierge service for same-day deliveries. But one new platform and app, FastAF (yes, AF stands for that), conceived and developed by Darkstore, aims to bring a slew of popular premium products to doorsteps in an average of 27 minutes.

"Two-day delivery is a thing of the past," says CEO Lee Hnetinka explaining that beyond groceries and basics, FastAF offers 2-hour delivery for premium essentials, landing the platform somewhere between a delivery service and retailer. Beyond drugstore and pantry fare, the highly curated site carries labels and products from APL, Carbon28, Everlane, Nike
