Coming soon (?) from Amazon. They will ship before you even order!

Sounds like negative billing to me which IIRC is illegal in Canada.
Edit: I notice on closer reading that it seems to be just moving stuff closer to customers, not actually shipping it to your door.

The next step is to put the goods into small, discrete, units located on a main street near the customer that can be collected at the customer's time of choice together with other items they might want.

Oh I don't know, I've always thought of him as being a Clark's black moccasin and stone bleach denim off the market kind of fella. Possibly tootling himself up with a nice white shirt under a 1985 mustard colour leather jacket for a night on the town.
