Amazon Plans To Ship Items Before You Buy Them
Amazon has filed a patent for anticipatory shipping, which would use customers' wish lists, previous purchases, and other data to predict which items they would likely purchase in the future and then ship such merchandise to their homes before they have even placed an order. What do you think?
