Amazon Squashes Same-Day Delivery Hopes

During a conference call on Thursday that focused on the company’s not-so-hot Q2 profits, Amazon‘s (NASDAQ:AMZN) CFO Tom Szkutak squashed hopes of same-day shipping.

�On the topic of delivery speed to customers, we are trying to get closer to�customers, but in terms of same-day�delivery, we don�t see a way to do same-day on a broad scale at the moment,” Szkutak said.

Shares of the online retailer’s stock dipped in after-hours trading Thursday, but ticked up today amid news that the company is building more fulfillment centers. AMZN shares were up more than 6% during early afternoon trading, Friday.
