Good. I’ve got about $2000.00 worth of Nikon camera gear in my shopping cart right now. They can send it if they wish.
How would you detect they’d done this? If they got it right, you’d just be amazed at how fast the shipping was.
I would take this with a grain of salt since it is a blog, never the less I can see them setting up some system where you can can have them ship a one time item to you at a certain time in the future, they all ready have a system to send people stuff on a monthly bases like a flat of cat food or two, and you can adjust the amount up or down or cancel the whole thing at anytime, I’m not sure about individual items though but I wouldn’t be surprise if they are already doing that. Being I work down at an Amazon facility you would be amazed at the amount of food stuff they are stocking, you can’t by a can of soup but you can buy a lot of grocery store flats of like 12 to 16 cans at a time, they are slowly building up their stock. Something like this might not be a bad idea if your going camping at a state park or something like that. Some times it would cost you more money in gas to shop at the nearest grocery store then to have it shipped to your camp site etc. And something like this might eliminate someone having to rent a big vehicle to carry all their supplies like food with them, because all they have is a small car. It just something to think about. They are really shooting at competing with Walmart’s Sam stores, and stores like that where you can buy a lot of stuff in bulk. If the price of gas goes up, the price of prime membership will look better every day for those in the know, already if you buy like a dozen items from them over a year it is worth it. The price of prime membership is very good compared to gas one might spend running around trying to find something at a local store when they can sit at home and order it off of Amazon.
I’ve always understood that if some company ships you something that you didn’t order, you are under no obligation to pay for it.
I see something I might like to have and buy, go through all the rigamarole, and when I see the final ticket, I decide ... naaahhhh ... what was I thinking .. I can't afford that .... and click out of it all ...
And Amazon has already shipped it ?
They are using the same technology that ObamaCare used to count the number of people that signed-up, even if they didn’t sign-up.
HMMMMM. Last month I ordered 2000lb of Staurolite from a location in FLA. It took a few days to get here to NY. This month, without any warning I re ordered and it got here in hours. Surprised the hell out of me.

They may have a patent for anticipatory shipping, but legally they can’t ship you things you haven’t ordered and demand that you pay for it unless you set up a subscription.
I think Newegg does this, I’m convinced that they have a guy on my street, and when I push the buy button, he is already speeding to my door with the product.
They are really fast.
You’d better watch out
You’d better not cry
You’d better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Jeff is coming to town...
He’s making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who’s naughty or nice
Santa Jeff is coming to town.
He sees when you’ve been surfing
He knows when you’re awake
He knows your credit’s bad or good
So be good for goodness’ sake...
I’ve never even been to Amazon, they had better not ever ship me anything!
