dead5 also ended up posting this. I made a comment over in that thread, but I'll paste it here too:

    I thought this was pretty damn cool. When my bro first showed it to me, I figured it must have been a joke. A few google searches later proved that it was indeed true. 30 minutes? Sounds impossible. But then I saw the requirements: within 10 miles of a delivery center and the package must be under 5 pounds.

    That said, the future looks bright if in 10 years we can get this service everywhere. I'm still amazed at getting stuff the next day. I can't even imagine getting it in 30 minutes.
