Staples isn't on life support, it was the second largest online retailer in 2014 (more than Wal-Mart, Apple, etc etc). I'm sure they're concerned about this move though, but they have a nice advantage over Amazon for doing their own deliveries through their physical stores.
- bane 12y ago> they have a nice advantage over Amazon for doing their own deliveries through their physical stores. That is a nice point. Staples.com has been growing and is robust, while Staples Inc. stores have been shrinking (they're closing 225 stores by the end of 2015). They don't break out brick & mortar from on-line in their earnings reports, so you have to infer.
