I'm sorry for bringing it up in the first place.
I do wonder how they'll pay for those planes though, another prime price increase? They may have started to price people out of prime perhaps? |

Could be. Maybe Amazon should buyout FedEx or UPS instead of creating its own air delivery.

That might cost a bit much though. UPS market cap is 70B-ish, FedEx is 43B-ish.
And you generally need to pay more than a company's worth to buy it. And given the political climate regarding Amazon, the government might not allow it. |

I would say the national enquirer thing did Bezos's odds of doing that in, or would have before November 2015.

Buying the planes is a way to reduce the cost of providing the service.

Curious if this will be a permanent change....Amazon seems to have combined a couple of options and is now offering me the $1 digital discount for choosing delivery on my weekly Amazon Day - no rush is gone completely. A few months ago they were offering to deliver add-on items on that day, without the $25 minimum order, but that disappeared fairly quickly. Maybe just testing to find what will get people to use the weekly option?
