Sprint is 80% owned by SoftBank, who also owns controlling interest in Alibaba. Amazon, Alibaba's largest competitor, has been recently talking about getting into physical retail space. It's possible Alibaba is thinking the same thing.

I feel that Alibaba is more of a competitor to Ebay. The quality of goods are similarly low.

Amazon is more of a "get it in 1-2 days (when we guarantee it)" and "We'll make sure you get your money back, anytime".

At least those have been my experiences.

Turning the existing RS network into a non-denominational PackStation-type setup seems like a good idea.
