[QUOTE="newgirl, post: 1018410, member: 30504"] According to their CFO, same-day is not feasible for every market so it doesn't seem to be the holy grail for them--but he doesn't deny they aren't looking into it. But, they are trying to reduce their shipping costs and the transit times. I pay nothing as a Prime member for shipping on Amazon for some things and i get Saturday delivery at no extra charge. That's crazy. They want to get you your package the next day, hoping your need for instant gratification will keep you buying stuff from them. (Oh, the irony that is--isn't Fedex the reason everyone wants it right now!?) I don't know how (or if I can) post links, but Googling amazon, same day, 3pl, and distribution centers has been very informative. My BIL is in cargo/freight/cartage and he was telling us (me and DH) that things are going to change. Obviously Fedex is trying to catch-up. I think they were under the impression that with the demise of DHL and the USPS they would own the world with UPS. But they can't buy Amazon like they buy out all the other competition, heck, Amazon can probably buy Fedex. As Fedex was once the game changer, Google and Amazon are the game changers now. [/QUOTE]
