I can't believe Walmart's idea of an implementation of that with random customers bringing packages to others' homes! to get discounts, no less. <br /><br /> Interesting re the info in the book, but yes, pretty timely, and most who leave Amazon are not exactly free to say much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-58042486593708559112013-04-10T23:09:14.125-07:002013-04-10T23:09:14.125-07:00The only reason Walmart is considering same day sh...The only reason Walmart is considering same day shipping is that Amazon is already doing it ("Local Express Delivery"). They, not Amazon, have reason to be fearful. I think Amazon has opened a warehouse in San Bernadino last year, and two more (Patterson, Tracy) are on the way:<br />http://www.costar.com/News/Article/Amazon-Formally-Announces-Third-California-Warehouse/144935<br /><br />Reading 'Burning the Page' & trying out the twitter thingy (which I'll probably). So far, I'm not too impressed, some of the information seems dated or inaccurate, as if he hasn't really kept up with things since leaving Amazon. Not as interesting as I had expected. But it is 'of the moment', so that is fun. Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.com
