Amazon can Predict & Ship your Order Before Place it

World's largest online seller Amazon has developed a 'mind-reading' technology that will forecast what customer want to buy and shipping packages even before consumers have placed an order. Amazon has filed a copyright for the technology called "anticipatory shipping". The aim of this technology is to remove a major disadvantage of online purchasing: customers cannot get their items instantly after purchase, but must instead wait for the items to be shipped to them.


The American corporation will utilize an array factor, such as previous purchases, things, customers have founded for, and still the amount of time a buyer’s cursor hover over products, in order to expect what purchases buyers may make, a newspaper reported. Using this information, Amazon will send these expected items to local warehouse or nearby "hub". This would mean that whenever a person really clicks to purchase merchandise on the website, their selected item will be housed nearest to the buyer's address. This will permit a package to be sent within minutes or hours, rather than few days and weeks it now takes.

One considerable disadvantage to the practical storefront model is that in most of the instances, buyers cannot receive their merchandise right away upon purchase, but must instead wait for the thing to be shipped to them, according to the company's patent filing. The accessibility of expedited shipping rules from lots of common carriers may mitigate the delay in delivery, however, at a substantial additional price that can rival the price paid for the merchandise. Such interruptions may dissuade buyers from purchasing products from online merchants. Now Amazon has been working to reduce shipping times. The company is testing with a fleet of flying drones to send packages through the air to , within an hour of an order being made.


“The Amazon App allows android apps users to browse and Shop by Department, quickly search, compare prices, read reviews, share products with friends, access Gold Box Deals, and make purchases on Amazon.com.
