My Reaction to Amazon Prime Air is that I live around a mile from a Amazon warehouse and I can not drive there to pick it up. Instead I need to use Free Shipping, have them "package" my purchase randomly anywhere from 2 days to 5 days so I can't cancel it on them for taking too long, then ship the item 1,000 feet or so.

They could setup a location for Amazon Locker in the warehouse location for me to pickup my items. I understand I will receive absolutely no on-site customer service. They could even use the Locker for returns. I have suggested this to their support.

Or, I could pay for Prime free shipping so they can mail it such a short distance and actually receive the item the next day like I do with Newegg, who is further away, which has been enjoying my business if they have the item.
