Will Uber pick up packages?

I want to build an app for picking up and delivering packages, not humans :-) Is that ok with you guys?
Just making sure that it doesn't conflict with your other ecommerce initiatives such as http://blog.uber.com/RUSH

    Vastra- As long as it does not violate the terms and conditions and rules of the hackathon, it should be fine (this is after all a hackathon). Although we do weigh heavily on originality as well so please take that into consideration. Good luck!

    Understood. I just have one follow up question - the 'Request endpoint' WILL work for real, right? Meaning, I am planning to use the Request endpoint to schedule actual package pickups and deliveries (each will be in 100% compliance with your T&Cs and guidelines). The drivers will arrive to pick up the packages, EVEN DURING APRIL AND MAY, correct?

    Vastra- Just to make sure we are on the same page, our drivers cannot just pick up packages or complete deliveries. We do have a services as you mentioned above (Uber Rush) that does describe what you are trying to accomplish, but as far as the API goes we do not. Sorry about that.

    Got it. Thanks for clarifying :-)
