Confession: I love Amazon. It is so easy for me to order something and have it at my door in one

18. I think you're right about location.

Same day or next day requires a LOT of logistical planning, and there is no way they can offer such a service on everything they sell to every customer, everywhere. It's also not cheap, so that's one reason why Amazon Prime has gone up.

As I said, I live real close to one of the facilities where they load their delivery vehicles, so I am often prompted to select next day shipping.

As a trucker, one of the things that bugs me about Amazon is their usage of independent contractors to do a lot of their transportation. The person driving the van painted in Amazon corporate colors that is delivering goods to your house is not an Amazon employee. They work for a subcontractor (which is possibly that driver) who is working on a 1099, not a W-2.
