@ShanusThat's pretty much what I do with Amazon.    I don't like feeding Bezos' behemoth.  I support the underdog when it works well for me.

I know my protest is futile as their VOLUME last year increased by 70%, but that increase was way more than consumed by their shippings costs so the PROFIT went down (over half a billion dollars) instead of up.  Shipping and Handling is a problems for all companies as well as all us consumers.

Its a bit ironic that something that put them at the front of the pack (their 1-2 day delivery ) might eventually put them at back of the pack and bring them way down in the retail community....The fulfillment and shipping costs are killing them.....

@Spurt  I saw a report on the news last night about the extra employees and filled planes needed to meet delivery expectations.

I think they need the overnight hours to train new hosts, vendors, and production staff.  And -- bonus -- they also make a little money.  If they are only going to use 1-3, it will take them a while to get people up and running.
