I got a good laugh out of that too. Lol.
It won't take long for the crooks to figure this one out followed by a rash of home invasions with that Amazon box along with a lot of other stuff going among the missing.

Thank goodness, maybe someone will drive the prices of prescriptions down... going broke buying needed meds is not cool

They're small packages, so probability is they will be in-housed for delivery. Get ready to Easter Egg hunt for your meds!

Is it too far off topic to ask if there's any effect/relationship with CVS trying to buy Aetna? I'm seeing some comments that CVS is just trying to balloon so they don't get bought. But it's also pharmacy/insurance related. Isn't Aetna pretty crappy?
And will they be competitive with Amazon?

Not off topic. Right now the $200 per share offer only represents a 25% premium but Bezos movement into pharma has to have the others in the space trying to find ways to counter it. Remember CVS tried to buy Rite Aid but that fell apart but it was able to buy a fairly large number of Rite Aid stores . I don't see Rite Aid around for long once Bezos gets up and going and the average Joe seems very receptive to him getting in the space because of the hope that he can bring down drug prices. So long corner drug store . Walmart and Wegmans he's coming for you.

I have seen a station that was 2 story. One station upstairs and a totally different station downstairs. There used to be a station in NYC that was a document station only. No boxes. Foot couriers. That would be sweet.

The building in Washington, DC has three stations operating out of there, one foot courier station and two courier stations, DCA, WAS, and JPN. A two level warehouse.

Walgreens is buying the remaining Rite Aid stores and will most likely close most if not all of them.
They announced the other day they were closing 600 stores after the merger. Some of them would be Walgreens but most were Rite-Aid. Big factor was closing stores that were too close to existing Walgreens. The rest of the RA stores would be converted to Walgreens.
That's interesting. RAD is still being traded on the NYSE. In fact 38 million shares were traded today . Granted the price is all the way down to $1.54. it's my understanding that the merger was blocked by federal regulators but a direct sale of a major share of RAD's stores was approved.

Doesn't that change by the day depending on stock price?
