I mean, think about it – Amazon can't run it like their current delivery service. They can't mark it as delivered, but then not deliver it until the next day. They can't drive up to the curb, throw it over your fence and then drive off. They can't claim to have delivered it but just not bothered. They can't say they're giving you a pizza from Pizza Hut and then actually give you a pizza some guy made in his basement. In other words, they can't run it like their current business.
Yea for sure. At the same time they did acquire Whole Foods and are doing food delivery through prime. They do own the warehouses here rather than acting as couriers but I would not be surprised if they just found out the economics (especially given their strengths) to just not work out for them.
