NICE!

About time we get something out of having to pay sales tax on Amazon.

EDIT- Doesn't look like it comes down to College Park

That's pretty impressive. The delivery is already very quick. How are they doing this? I thought the same day delivery was going to depend on the drones. I did also hear they were planning to open a warehouse in Atlanta; I guess it must have opened. Where is it?

You're thinking of their goal of 30 minute delivery.

I don't think, it has opened yet.

They have a facility in CHATTANOOGA so ship it to Lasership or FedEx in Marietta and rush it out for local deliveries. Sorta explains why it is limited to the current zip codes.

Actually, I wasn't making fun. On the 60 Minutes piece they did recently they said they wanted to use drones to make deliveries as quick as 30 minutes from ordering. They don't have approval to use drones, but they probably will in the future. For now, the deliveries will be ground vehicles.
