My response to Amazon, if they do this, is something I call predictive returns. As in, I predict I will return everything they ship to me in this manner.

They don't actually release the product to the consumer until you actually buy it. They just move it closer to you.

It's like you read the article or something.

I does mention freebies in the patent - that would assume they have a confidence level where they ship something to you before it's bought.
