Amazon actually sources from some smaller businesses, Walmart doesn't. I don't buy a huge amount from Amazon, but as an example I purchased some Altoids, while I ordered them from Amazon the order was fulfilled by a store called Candies Delight. This is true of quite a few other items I have bought from them.

As far as the next day delivery...that is nice but at what price and is it sustainable?
