Amazon gets even more awesome... Now they're talking about starting the process of delivering a package before you order it! They've filed for a patent on the idea of using your past orders – or even your searches – to predict that you're going to buy something, and then they preemptively ship to your area so that delivery would be faster than you expect.
We've already noticed some things getting delivered far faster than we'd think possible, and some of those things are repeat orders for us. Most recently I noticed this with my tea order. I've been buying the same tea now for several years; a kilogram about every 10 weeks. The last time I ordered it was just a couple of weeks ago, and the tea arrived the day after I ordered it – and considering that we live out in the San Diego mountains, that's pretty amazing...
