Here's an article on how Amazon started Sunday delivery to lure in the customers who didn't want to wait 3 days for their deliveries:

They are also expanding same-day delivery.
I can't find the link right now, but I recently read an article about 3-d printers. They seem to be in the news lately because they have become sophisticated enough that consumer models can 3-d print a gun at home that actually shoot real bullets but the reality is that in the near future 3-d printers will be able to make just about anything. You'll go to a web site like amazon and with your subscription scroll through pages of different radios, make your selection, and then click "3-d print" and hours later you'll have a radio. In our lifetimes there will always be some things that will be too complex to print at home but the reality is that business models are always changing and always adapting.
