Since the beginning of this century, Amazon has emerged as a pre-eminent giant of retail. How? by creating an expectation among consumers that next day, or even same day, delivery is not only possible but basically routine for a dizzying array of consumer products.
Millions of Amazon Prime customers all over the world have now come to expect this astonishingly swift service on countless items as standard, and this has put great swathes of the traditional retail landscape in trouble. So today, we’re going to look at how Amazon delivers packages so fast.
Let’s pick a typical Amazon product as an example. Say you need a bicycle pump. How will Amazon get that bike pump delivered to your door, the very next day?

Being in logistics myself for over 25 years and a Amazon Prime shopper for over 15 years and regionally located where I'm at worst 2 day shipping but most of the time one day... I have it down to know approximately what time of day my last Mile delivery time will be. What's truly amazing is how i can order one item for next day then realize crap I need this to go with it items order it within the last hour will piggyback picking so they arrive together the next day.

You did not add the little fact about the algorithm checking up on the private fulfillment sales and making sure that if your product is "hot" it is certainly scheduled for an undercut by Amazon itself. Only niche products or products that cannot compete are allowed to stay on fulfillment process for long. Also there is no "modest" fee with Amazon - for items under $20 you better manage to get them for less then half of the price they are selling for to even break even.

online shopping is changing the world, It greatly boosted the increase of economy, for you can buy anything made in any places ,it breaks up the barrier of space while fast delivery breaks up the barrier of time ......but I do hope they can lower the delivery price even further. in china normal delivery still costs about 2-3dollars with in 1 kilo, and I hope they can be faster, I'm getting impatient to wait for 3days. (the fastest deliver is with in one day, but it cost about 9-12dollars, which is not worth it)

I don’t understand how Amazon makes money.. let’s say you buy that $10 bike pump and it does take an hour of labor to just PICK up the item.. they are already at $5-10 deficit in profit from labor alone.. Then probably about .75 cents in packaging and like $3-15 shipping costs. Multiple that deficit by a million that’s a LOT! Not to mention like 10% items are returned paid for by them completely. I do understand they make money from memberships and more money on certain items ect.. but whatever they are doing is magical.
