Online retail giant Amazon.com is adding distribution centers. Some
are speculating whether the expansion is a shift toward same-day delivery.
A report in the Financial
Times says Amazon is opening facilities in ten states over the next four years,
starting in Pennsylvania and California in September.
Analysts say that will
enable the company to offer delivery of many products just hours after orders
are placed online.
The move could be a way of remaining competitive as more
states push toward charging sales tax on Amazon purchases, something many
Amazon customers currently avoid.
