How the Amazon Warehouse Works
The biggest competition to HomeDepot is Not Lowes!

Its Amazon which ships 7 orders a second…………………Click

 

Truly amazing how Amazon and other online shops have made the world rethink retail.

 

I just looked at homedepot to buy a drill. $58. Amazon had same drill for $51 and it took 30 seconds to buy it. Sooo nice. I told my wife I would hate to be anybody in retail outside of Amazin ;-)

 

Wow! Damn AGV's are taking over the material handling industry. In 10 years human order pickers will be a faint memory.

 

I've always had a good experience with Amazon.com
Pretty amazing system they have in operation

Thanks for sharing

 

How about this for Amazon delivery?

 

Never happen. Too many guys have already figured out how to snag one of these drones as it delivers your product.

As for Competition to Home Depot, when Amazon can deliver a bunk of 2X4 studs I'll worry.

Home Depot sucks anyway.

 

Why would anyone need to 'snag' one of these to get your product? As it is now and has been for decades, they simply leave your packages outside your door where literally anyone could come snag it, to my knowledge, this system has worked pretty well. If you are referring to stealing the actual drone, I am sure it will be encrypted and GPS tagged, at a minimum.

 

I shop Amazon a lot... They have agreements with just about anyone...so, it's more competitive with vendors competing against each other to liquidate their stock both new and used... Yours may come from different vendors, so shipments arrive at different times... Others have had this concept as well. Cheaper Than Dirt sells sporting goods gun related items the same way. Overstock.com does this as well....cool idea..

 

First off, lighten up. It was a joke. No one NEEDS to snag one. That hardly makes them secure. No one NEEDS the pumkin on my porch, yet every Halloween it disappears.
But let's consider the realistic cons to this concept

For instance, the drone is impersonal and therefore unnaccountable, It has no reason or motivation to place the package descretely or adapt to an unexpected situation. It won't put it inside the door, or realize those dudes on the corner are just waiting for it to drop and leave.

Additionaly, how does it deliver to a housing complex, and aparment building, or a high rise? The kind of structures more and more people are finding they can afford. Especialy young techies that would use the service?

And clearly we need more congestion in the air space, and more for the FAA to manage and regulate.

Thankfully it is a private enterprise looking at the idea, not the Gubmint. So it stands a chance of success. Albeit a small one.

I think perhaps a better approach would be to pursue the transporter technology of Star Trek.

Like I said, lighten up.

 

What better time to introduce a futuristic distribution plan than just before "Cyber Monday" . Brilliant marketing.......

 

where's the "Like" button?

 

I find amazon amazing. I just bought a water distribution tube for my 1948 Plymouth. It comes with all the freeze plugs too. no hub cap retainer clips though.

 

I buy quite a bit through them. Sometimes it comes from them, and sometimes it's a drop ship from someone else, but they always stand behind the sale. Not to mention free shipping is often included.

 

According to Amazon,

IT WAS A HOAX!


A promotion for Cyber Monday.


Like I said,,,Never Gonna Happen.

 

Link...? (10 char)

 

It's in the news this morning. But for the lazy who cannot type Amazon Hoax into a search engine or their I Phones...

UPS also has been looking at this ,the way things are I think it will be really hard for some people not having open season on something flying around town , It is a neat idea , the cost of a package flying to your house would be so costly it would be limited to a small group , it will never happen !

 

Thats what they said about the light bulb...

 

I'm not clear who the THEY are however,

The light bulb was actually possible and worthwhile. Hence success was plausible as well as possible.

This idea is in the realm of the Flying car.

Possible? Yes.

Practical? No.
