It’s been a long time since I write on this blog. I’ve been busy with other projects.
Here’s an interesting news I read from Reuters. As we all know, Amazon.com is the biggest online bookstore. Nowadays they are not only sells books but also other merchandise such as electronics, spare parts, apparels and others.
Amazon is planning to venture into selling farm goods such as vegetables, eggs and fish. They will be sold via AmazonFresh. Some of the items available are such as bunch of organic carrots with leafy tops for $1.79 and a 5 ounce steak for $1.99.
“It’s up and running,” said spokesman Craig Berman. “People are ordering and trucks are delivering.” He would not speculate, however, on when the program would be expanded.
I don’t know how they’re going to manage it since most of the goods are perishable especially the fresh foods.
If AmazonFresh expands, it would be competing with online grocers Peapod.com and regional services such as FreshDirect.com or YourGrocer.com in the New York area.
