Amazon should team up with someone like Uber X or uShip to do premium delivery services.
I'm thinking of high-dollar purchases (those that are $25k and up) where getting your package delivered by a guy in brown shorts doesn't really add to the experience. But someone in a suit and a really nice car or SUV could make the impression you want.
- AJ007 12y agoTeam up or undercut? Amazon doesn't need to make any margin from delivery. The end game here is pretty clear. You don't go to retail stores for commodity items any more. This is bad news for Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. Apparel will remain safe as long as consumers buy clothing that doesn't fit perfectly.
- cpwright 12y agoApparel isn't safe when you get free shipping both ways. Or even free shipping one way. I know several women who purchase much more online and return half of it than they do in a store. One of them says going to a store is pointless, because they often don't stock plus sizes anyway, but have them online.
