Amazon is the new Wal-Mart. Cheap as fark and they send it to your door. So awesome.

You know what I was thinking. there is hardly anything on the internet that doesnt have free shipping. me thinks UPS/ Fedex is getting people hooked on free shipping then turn the tables and hike the prices up. It's already so darn expensive to mail even a letter that way.

Amazon charges for shipping. But if you buy the membership. Shipping is free. Membership is crazy worth it. If I paid shipping everytime it would cost so much more than the membership did.

I just heard it would be a huge jump in freight. Just wondering what everyone else thought.

For us it is, and it isnt freight to be peddled. It's inbound freight destined for the amazon distribution center

Hope is doesn't increase residential deliveries. That = high accident rate.

I love it. We ain't even a number anymore !
I run XIN fac and from what i have heard from some of their DSRs is its gonna be a HUGE increase in inbound freight for them..Amazon has quite a few warehouses located within a stones throw of the XIN terminal and have a new one being built right across the street from them....
Amazon has fullfillment centers ( distribution centers ) in these states: Arizona ,Delaware ,Indiana ,Kansas ,Kentucky ,Nevada ,Pennsylvania ,South Carolina ,Tennessee , and Virginia. This is Amazon in the United States. I don't know about Canada. Amazon also has subsidiaries like Zappos which sells shoes , Fabric.com which is obvious , and a few other divisions. I don't know if we won business for all of Amazon and it's subsidiaries.
This information is on Amazons website.

Coming from the east you pass a large one on the north side of the road. Might be a mile from the terminal, if that.

Just think of all the freight that will be stuffed into sub-service trailers... I can't wait to use it as dunnage.
