Essentially what they will do is have an AI program that looks at the items you reorder regularly and ship those items to the distro center nearest you so that when/if you order again they can get it to you next (or in some cases same) day. They've applied for a patent for the program, but haven't implemented yet. Pretty good idea, and another chip away at the brick and mortar stores. Glad I sold my Best Buy stock last fall when it was high, they tanked last week (30%), seems they have turned into the Amazon showroom!
Okay, back to the thread...................
