I bought a CD from amazon.com last week at some stage. Taking currency conversion into account it's actually cheaper to buy stuff from the USA than from the UK and has been for quite some time.
The CD arrived really quickly. In 6 days to be precise.
What's perhaps even more amazing is that the CD was actually shipped from Auckland, New Zealand.
I don't understand the supply-chain logic that has CDs ordered from Europe, processed in the USA and fulfilled from New Zealand and somehow is still profitable but it clearly works.
The world may not be flat but it sure is getting even faster to move goods from one side of the world to another.
