《财富》水晶球：2014全球大事预测

    同日送达将成为网购业标准

    客户不要指望自己的包裹很快就会由无人机运送至家门口。但随着亚马逊(Amazon)、eBay和其他购物网站强力推动更迅速的送货服务，对于大多数美国消费者来说，享受外加5美元的同日送达服务将变为现实。实际上，eBay已经在5个地区（芝加哥、达拉斯、纽约、旧金山和圣何塞）开展承诺1小时送货上门的eBay Now服务。我们估计，2014年：

    eBay公司的eBay Now服务将扩展至25个城市：84%

    亚马逊将与打车服务提供商Uber合作：52%

    沃尔玛将雇用下班的收银员把商品送至客户家门口：10%。

    Same-day delivery will go standard

    Customers shouldn't expect their packages by drone anytime soon. But as Amazon(AMZN, Fortune 500), eBay (EBAY, Fortune 500), and others push ahead with faster delivery, $5-plus same-day service will become reality for most U.S. shoppers. To wit, eBay Now already approaches one-hour deliveries in five locales (Chicago, Dallas, New York City, San Francisco, and San Jose). Here, what will happen in 2014:

    eBay Now expands to 25 cities: 84%

    Amazon partners with Uber: 52%

    Wal-mart hires off-duty cashiers to drive purchases to customer doors: 10%.
