Amazon opens campus location

摘要

Amazon has launched its first staffed campus collection and drop location at Purdue University in the US, signalling yet another step towards bricks-and-mortar retail. Members of the university - students, alumni, faculty and staff - that are Amazon Student and Prime members have access to free one-day shipping on textbooks and free one-day pickup on over one million items, including school supplies, when shipped to the Amazon@Purdue location. In addition to standard Amazon pricing, eligible students and staff can also take advantage of benefits that are exclusive to Purdue University. The company said a second location will open shortly at Purdue, and that it has similar arrangements with two other universities at the moment.
