Is it just me or is last-100-yard package delivery (sub-block) breaking down even as Amazon tries to innovate at sub-last-mile logistics?

Think so. It's been kind of interesting to use their new model of a dedicated campus delivery point. Both easier & harder than before.

Last-mile logistics has become last-minute logistics. As hub/spoke door-to-door routing breaks down, you lose efficiency but gain speed

interesting. That aspect sounds under-reported! Although Amazon has occasionally shipped me the wrong things...
