    If only I spent that little with Amazon. I pretty much buy everything other than basic groceries from Amazon and Costco.

    Amazon will eventually surpass Wal-Mart in terms of revenue, even though by then Wal-Mart might not be the largest company in the world.

    Oh no, I misspelled a word on the internet! Holy ****, deal with it. Just because I know it bothers you, I'm not only going to leave the initial post unedited, but:

    7.99 delivery fee for 1-hour window, free delivery fee for 2-hour window.
    Expected to tip (obviously).

    And obviously the selection will be greatly limited compared to the bigger Amazon marketplace.

    Expected to tip (obviously) for non-restaurant and non-food merchandise deliveries.

    I don't think so.

    Tipping is so passé though. I guess a hidden cost is better than automatically charging a delivery fee or gratuity?

    I pretty much just go to Incredible Universe. If it's not in the universe it doesn't exist.

    I for one have never heard of this "Amazon". Would say they have a 'Prime' shipping service?

    I guess it beats getting into the car and paying for gas.

    Oh lord, here we go on the tipping.

    Probably one of the most divisive of all bbs topics, oddly enough.
