Funny, my entire job is based on getting things back to 2day shipping / increasing throughput. I'm a roboticist. The absolute explosion of amazon's popularity

The absolute explosion of amazon's popularity as a seller and storefront has been the source of their prosperity and problems. Growth never magically becomes easy, no matter how big you are.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoFellow robotics engineer here. Actually shipping things on time is hard. But giving the customer realistic expectations seems easier. If items are not shipping on time consistently, then providing some uncertainty in the delivery estimate would be nice. But of course, management probably feels like "2-4 day delivery" sounds bad so instead they project a false confidence in delivery date and then let the customer deal with the implications if delivery slips. This I feel is disrespectful to the customer.
