Amazon to overtake another Industry

[kevm14]

So this is your iTunes rant but for goods instead of music.

iTunes, Walmart, Home Depot... Any business that gets so big that it wipes out all competition.

We have Amazon 1-2 hour delivery in Charlotte now. I just tried out PrimeNow for the first time today with a $10 off $20 coupon. I'll report on the results later. The grocery prices they offered were as good or better than my local grocery store on many items, although their selection was rather limited.

I finally dumped the remainder of my employee stock purchase plan of AutoZone stock in early January.

The 5-year graph is the most telling...

Food arrived on time and as promised. My Haagen Dazs even arrived in good shape on a 90+ degree day in Charlotte. If the selection was a little more broad (I'm sure this will come), this could actually reduce my trips to the grocery store significantly.

Who delivered it?

[Bob]

It was delivered by an independent contractor, I believe. I think this is similar to the people who do the Prime same day delivery, but maybe not exactly the same.
