[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1656132, member: 26998"] I think you are maybe being a little short sighted here. What Amazon, and many other companies in this industry (including UPS) are banking on, is that more and more people are going to get their stuff delivered to their house instead of going to the store to get it. One misunderstanding could be that this is NOT an air product. These are commonly ordered items warehoused at a fulfillment center. You must order by noon to receive it the same day. Here is an example of what I could see happening; package driver gets some air stops and bulk stops at a UPS center for morning, takes lunch and goes to amazon fulfillment center at 12:30, loads packages and delivers, repeat. No feeders, no part timers, no building, no overhead for UPS, just provide the driver and truck. [/QUOTE]
