You work for Amazon breh?:whoo:
I used to work for them, could not take it anymore tho. They treat most of their employees like shyt. The goal has been to get a warehouse near every major city, I was there for the development of the kindle and all that shyt too, just could not talk about it. I'm sure I slipped in some gems when we used to post on sohh.

They had some nasty app the lost prevention team was building to connect people who used to steal and leave themselves open on social networks. They had a good connection with some gamestops as well with people who traded in several copies of games without the cases. I'm not saying anymore.

^ if they invest in there own delivery team-- they could potentially go for 24 hour delivery.. where u could get the item u purchased no more than 24 hours later.

:smh:at least my Borderlands 2 preorder got grandfathered in to the new 2-day shipping thing for only $0.99. All my other preorders im just going with free shipping since it will still be in before the week is out.

Still no tax in Louisiana so im good on that too:win:

:dwillhuh:

So Amazon gonna have delivery guys knocking on your door at 1AM and shyt? There would a lot of safety/security problems if they went this route.


:wtf:
Do you how much it would cost to create that kind of workforce and infrastructure
