I'd imagine that having Amazon Fresh trucks driving around a neighborhood with a local fulfillment center could easily turn into their own solution. Combine this with Amazon Locker and 20 years from now Amazon drone and good bye UPS.

Amazon Lockers have been a boon for me living in apartments with hours that don't match up to my schedule for their 'helpful' package signing service. I recently noticed I can return packages through the lockers as well. If they can saturate with enough lockers I'm not sure I'd ever actually need the "final mile" of an actual delivery service.
No, they're actually going the whole "buy a fleet jets and distribution centers" multi-decabillion-dollar route.
