Leaving the house is totally overrated
« on: October 15, 2009, 08:16:58 pm »
http://consumerist.com/5382592/amazon-same-day-delivery-will-you-ever-leave-the-house-again

Amazon announces same-day delivery. Considering next-day costs $3.99 the $5.99 for same-day seems pretty reasonable. The main question is if you have to live in the city proper or if this applies to metro areas. I'm guessing the latter since Amazon's warehouses are generally in the suburbs/exurbs anyway in my experience (Sterling, VA is where most of my stuff comes from lately).

I just took a gig for which I am paid in Amazon gift cards (easier than paying me with money from Japan, I guess). I think soon we are going to have a completely Amazon-based economic system.

I'm pretty sure this only applies to Prime-eligible items. Sorry, A-CAP.

I love one of the reviewer's quotes for this item: "I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty."

It's a shame Todd will have to wait at least one more day to get these.
