>>Anyone concerned that rising fuel costs may have an impact on shipping costs for e-tailers? Fuel prices affect all channels of commerce. Frankly, I think these oil prices are an over-shoot.

Anyone concerned that rising fuel costs may have an impact on shipping costs for e-tailers? Eric, A year ago when I was very bearish on AMZN, I tried to make an argument that home delivery has to cost more than brick and mortar shopping due to inefficiencies of this delivery service. I do know the fuel price increase has no connection to e-commerce at this point in time. However, it is still my opinion that house to house delivery is inefficient. Glenn
