its only a matter of time before amazon has an optimized platform for non-produce grocery.

including automated re-orders of specific items, diapers, toilet paper, etc all set to timers.

in time perhaps even produce, but their purchase of wholefoods all but confirms this is the direction they're headed.

they're just not there yet in terms of robotic multi parcel packaging and shipping. soon.

They already have that in the form of subscriptions.

I get 48 monsters every 3 weeks.

If were living in a delivery world and were at work how are things being dropped off?

Is there a world where detached homes all have physical drop boxes and your drop box has a digital lock that is connected to each of your individual vendor accounts (Walmart, Amazon, etc) and the person or robotic delivery device scans a swipe card or device that unlocks the box.

I understand things are dropped off now on peoples steps and front entrance, but how do we go forward if almost everything we consume goes the way of delivered to your home.

Plenty of patents out there owned by these big businesses for dropbox services, where you can set one up for your neighborhood or for your own home personally.

They'll figure it out. Most people don't live in a place where their groceries are going to get stolen.

That is true but many live in a place where you don't need to lock the door at night. But we do.

yes for certain products, mainly bulk items, they do have that already.

but im talking an offshoot intra-amazon grocery specific platform, for prime members only, where even non-bulk items will be grocery store priced or cheaper. and most importantly shipping will be far more optimized with items nested in parcels, rather than tossed into an oversized box with a ton of packing paper filling the void of mostly empty space.

amazons pricing is currently priced in 2 directions, cheap because robotics handle almost all mid/large sized items from their sorting facility, and costly because of the parcel limits they currently have. give it time tho. i remember thinking a few years back powered roller systems would be the direction they'd go, and they proved me wrong in a big way.



i dont even lock my door when i leave for work
