Abstract
A computer system monitors network sites to provide expedited delivery services. Operation of a network site is monitored to determine that an item is being obtained from the network site. The network site is scraped to determine that the item is available at a physical location associated with the network site. A courier service is identified to transport the item from the physical location to the delivery location. Delivery of the item is enabled by the courier service to the delivery location. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for monitoring network sites to provide expedited delivery services in substantially the same manner described above.
