BB has started using their retail stores as a distributed shipping system, so they ship packages from very close to you and have pretty good delivery times, as long as it's something carried in a store. Pretty smart move.

I think Target may be moving in that direction as well? They've started doing free 2-day shipping as well, I would not be surprised if that's how they're doing it. They seem like they're making a genuine attempt to compete with Amazon too.

The stores in our local mall do this as well. You can see the mailman carrying a trolely full of packages out of the mall every day.
