    Amazon PRIME member here for years!

    I purchase all sorts of shit from them damn near weekly. Nice to see them take this State Tax BS and turn it into a plus for customers!

    They are nearing completion, or already completed a HUGE, if I could make huge any bigger, I would, because this warehouse/hub is supposed to be ginormous. I believe it's out in the inland empire somewhere.

    I've been a prime member for 2 years, and will never let it lapse. It's a great tool, and I order quite frequently.

    ok, now who here is a retail entrepreneur?, I'd like to hear their thoughts on this...

    Not sure if I qualify, but I'm a manufacturer direct to retail sales, so not exactly "retail entrepreneur". Amazon will never touch what I make/sell. The only thing suppressor/silencer related you can buy on Amazon are books, fake suppressors, or those stupid Airsoft "silencers" that don't do a damn thing. I make firearm suppressors. Amazon won't deal with machine guns either, so that's another thing I make that Amazon won't touch. I make fully automatic machine guns.

    So for my business, Amazon and even Walmart aren't competitors by any means. They don't do what I do and won't do what I do.

    Only without the drama, sensationalism, or lack of professionalism.

    I have worked retail for some time with Macys, FENDI, ROSS and a pharmacy but not from an entrepreneur standpoint. I am done though with that world.

    This is awesome. I don't care about retail getting possibly fucked. That's business. One always comes along to replace another, all the time.

    That's true. I really don't think it will completely screw retail over, but maybe change a small segment of it.
