Grocers have been doing this for decades... People have been doing this far longer. There's nothing novel about putting stacks of toilet paper in warehouses near big populations.

That's the large-scale strategy, but IIRC Amazon had per-buyer prediction. If you looked at a specific item and it predicted you're likely to order it soon, it would be delivered to a distribution center closer to you. (Using free space in a truck already heading there anyway)

Pre-positioning staples like toilet paper isn't new, no. Pre-positioning a few black truffles because one person thought about buying them yesterday is, though.
