Amazon US getting ready to really challenge local retailers?
Discussion
Quite an interesting article on Amazon's changing strategy in the US... essentially changing their model of competition on price (specifically regarding Sales Tax) and moving towards a 'same day delivery' model. They're certainly spending some serious money setting it all up...

If you think about it, if Amazon opened up a "Collections Desk" in your town with next day collection, I don't think many towns would survive tbh.
-thinks about it-You could be right.
I suppose logistics is the only thing stopping that. With such a vast catalogue of items it'd be very hard to get things to your collection desk within 24 hours, unless it was a warehouse in every town and the costs of which would probably negate the idea or make it quite difficult at least.
