This is the way that 3D printing will take off before in-home 3D printing -- instead of having to get a small part or prototype shipped 2,000 miles, you'll drive 5 miles to your nearest Staples.
It sounds like it is still shipped 2,000 miles. You just receive it at your local Staples instead of your mailbox. Though I'm inclined to agree that the next step will be in-house 3D printing businesses.
