Surely there must be places/shops in murica you can turn towards in an urgent problem?
Dealing with Itella I have always needed the patience. The goods move inside Finland for a week, when it comes from Germany in 1-3 days. It's not a problem for me, but if I need to get stuff done faster, even here in countryside I can find the stuff I need rather easily.
Amazon's idea sounds great but I'm still a bit skeptical. I have no belief that it would work out. Apart from having warehouses all across the USA with easy access/transport solution for the average Joe out there.
Besides, truck transport is still a solution I would rather rely on. This won't most likely happen in Finland, but still the technology needs to move forward before it would work out, the whole concept seems too optimistic.
How would this bring more fatness? This would be equal fatness as a delivery truck.
As for patience: I absolutely love Prime. Whether it be a computer part (hard drive, charger) or something more important (birthday gift), 2 day has saved my buns many times. Having it in 30 minutes would be awesome. My parents also use it to deliver hard to get parts to their mechanic shop. 7.99 one day shipping is great.
If/when they decide to expand to Europe / UK I think it would affect a lot of people.
Here in the West people are beginning to assume next day delivery as standard and are surprised when we have to pay for it. Worse, it's becoming harder to compete with the big guys who are able to do it with orders up to 9 or 10pm. You can even buy white goods on same day delivery.
Unless of course you are Scottish, which may as well be Siberia as far as internet delivery goes.
I have this distinct vision of a bunch of RC geeks sitting in a room and piloting these drones, delighted by the fact that they are finally getting paid for it.
How's that? You know it could be delivering exercise equipment - like the Shake Weight? or the Thigh Master? But you never thought of that, did you?
Nah, you're just another greasy foreign kid from some third world country. somewhere out by Canada or Africa or somewhere.
Hell, I probably hired your cousin out of a Home Depot parking lot to cut my grass a couple a times.
