Amazon.com has obtained a highly mechanized distribution facility in
McDonough, Georgia, that will allow the company to reduce standard shipping times to
customers in key markets in the Southeastern United States.

Your concerns over fulfillment cost will be relieved. They are headed south. No Pun
intended. :^)

John,

Highly mechanized is subject to interpretation. How much labor is required;-) Good luck:-)

Yes, Amazon is buying the same sort of facilities that most major catalog distributors already have. In a few years they can be the biggest low-margin Internet "catalog" supplier on the net. In ten years that strategy should make the stock worth about half of the current valuation - that is if they are lucky and everything goes right.
