DrB Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Surprised, I just ordered a small thing and noted it is set to be here tomorrow. I live in a rural area so that is strange. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I get that to but usually it shows up a couple days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoF250 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have been getting that on more and more things and they have indeed been showing up the next day. I suspect someone at Amazon realized that in many cases the UPS and FedEx were only holding 2 day packages for an extra day to extract value from the 1 day service ie, it really does not cost them more to get it to you in one day so Amazon negotiated a deal to get one day for no added charge in many cases. I was just watching an interview with Jeff Bezos, he seems like a very sharp guy- focused on the long game and looks for real meaningful information. I wish more American CEOs had his brains, most are just powered with ego and bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 They are very prompt with the one and two-day shipping...... when they finally ship it, three days later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should not have said most since I do not follow the actions of many CEOs, I just know the CEO of the company I work for and a few others. They are focused on quarter end at all costs and just want to be told they are great rather than think about what they are doing. We had a great CEO 3 CEOs ago but the last ones have been totally driven by stock price. Unfortunately, a lot of what they do works for getting the stock price up but it does nothing to improve the companies service or profitability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that seems to be a pretty wide spread disease. I don't understand how otherwise intelligent people fall for liberalism. I have not payed much attention to his politics to be honest, and I am certainly not impressed with his marital fidelity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueiron Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Amazon makes plenty of profit. Bezos simply twists GAAP to obscure the profits within other aspects of his empire, most likely non-profit foundations and/or money losing businesses in order to abuse the tax code.

There is probably plenty of that but he is also always trying new things and spending money to get into businesses that my not pay off for years. His space program and WholeFoods are probably in that category. I appreciate the fact that Amazon looks for things that make it easier for their customer to do business with them and for things their customers actually want. Not just crap that can make them the most money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
