The firm's beta test of same-day delivery service attracted 10,000 online customers. In September, LicketyShip (www.licketyship.com) launched a limited version of the service in the Bay area. This holiday season, the firm will be offering deliveries in less than four hours to procrastinating consumers. "We're going to be the SWAT team for last minute holiday shoppers," says founder Robert Pazornik. -- Emily Maltby, Takenori Kaneda, Mina Kimes, and Matthew McKnight
