Amazon Orders in Seattle

posted in Technology, Music, Business |

Yesterday I placed an order with Amazon. I ordered a couple of older CDs, the new album from M.I.A. (which is only $7.99- its cool to see the prices of music coming down), and a spare battery for my camera. I’m a Prime member so its all free two day shipping, but I think I missed the cut-off for shipping yesterday so it should all be here on Friday.

Today a package shows up from Amazon with the $13.30 battery. It appears it was delivered by “WRX”, which I assume is their same-day service for stuff they have in the Seattle warehouses. Pretty amazing.

    […] Andy writes about how Amazon is going into the home grocery business similar to the WebVan/HomeGrocers of the past. I’m hoping this will be successful. I’m assuming this is also related to the same-day delivery thing that Amazon has been already offering in certain markets. If so they are well set up to have the critical mass necessary to make this sort of thing work. I’m hoping they pull it off- we order from Safeway sometimes for home delivery but I miss the level of service that Home Grocer used to provide. […]
