There's nothing in there about eliminating the local warehouses in favor of storing a smattering of items locally in the partners houses/where ever. All this is is replacing the swarms of Amazon vans (and the costs and depreciation of those vans) with their new 'partners' vans. They're basically having people start tiny UPSs or DHLs for a (hopefully for their sake) very small area.

I apologize for asking, but how was it inferred from my comment that local or other warehouses would be eliminated? To imply that they would was not my intention. Amazon has a variety of Amazon-owned store/ship locations, that includes Amazon's warehouses. Local partner store/ship or even just local partner ship locations do not detract from that in any way, although, Amazon could, at its discretion, choose a subset of products to cache at partner's locations, IF the partners had storage space and were willing and amenable to that arrangement...
