Above is one 2014 effort to map Amazon fulfillment centers
According to the Wall Street Journal:
A Cuisinart warehoused in California may no longer qualify for two-day shipping to a Prime member in Vermont. That’s the idea behind a new program Amazon is testing with some independent merchants.
The program, nicknamed Ship by Region, lets certain sellers designate where they’re willing to ship goods in two days or less to Prime members.
The merchants may limit how far they will ship some items – large-screen televisions, for example – with the two-day guarantee under Prime. If a Prime customer is outside that region, shipping may take longer.
Physics is still a factor. Time can be compressed. Space can be bent. But the energy required is better spent on dense, proximate concentrations.
Did you see, by the way, the Amazon patent application for their particular use of public transit for deliveries? Here it is.
