^ probably not a bad idea if you don’t still have the image of a jolly old postman as the guy who’s going to come to your door

Most delivery people are very nice wonderful people but they seem to be scraping the bottom for delivery folk with the current job market and whatnot.

Sadly most of those amazon/contractor vans are also used as bathrooms next to your packages due to the lack of time/facilities, a common complaint among employees

It's the way of the road.

I don't think drone delivery is ever going to take off (pun intended). Last mile delivery will likely continue to be humans driving vans…

Why no drone delivery? I’m hoping we see it in a couple of years, sounds less problematic than humans on roadways

Should be starting the service later this year in some areas: https://www.cnbc.com...very-drone.html

Same way Santa does.

Even Santa has a tough time squeezing through the vent on my gas fireplace, and he's magical.

had a real problem convincing one kid about Santa, his father was a lawyer and I guess dressed up every year as Santa, not even sure now if he’s completely convinced

North Saanich, Sidney and the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) have formalized their cost-sharing agreement for the construction of a new roundabout near the Amazon facility on airport land but within the municipal boundaries of Sidney.

 

The agreement will see Sidney and VAA each contribute up to $2.65 million to the project, each accounting for about 41.4 per cent of the total estimated cost toward the project, which also include a realignment of Sterling Way. The District of North Saanich will contribute up to $1.1 million, representing 17.2 per cent of the project budget. A Class A estimate pegs the total budget at $6.4 million, including contingency.

Can someone please explain the logic/logistics of this Amazon delivery routing

[Victoria Watcher]

Is it possible the Toronto flight has stops?  ie. Kent > Vancouver > Winnipeg > Toronto.   And it's only denoted by it's final destination?

[Nparker]

Delivery isn't scheduled until Wednesday. AFAIK, my item is traveling back & forth across Canada to get to me.

Not sure if I already said this but one time I ordered something from ebay and the tracking indicated it went all over the USA before getting to me.
