Seattle, Washington - Hollywood star Harrison Ford or musician Moby could soon be turning up on US doorsteps to personally deliver Amazon products as part of the online vendor's 10th birthday celebration.
The world's biggest Internet retailer said that for 10 days from Wednesday, randomly selected customers across the United States will open their doors to find more than they were expecting when they placed their order.
Among the celebrities scheduled to make special deliveries are actor Ford, who may deliver the Raiders Of The Lost Ark DVD box set, the Grammy-award winning Moby, with his recently released CD Hotel, and Jason Alexander, who played George on the sitcom Seinfeld.

Each special delivery will be webcast on Amazon.com and the celebrations will climax on July 16, when the site will show live performances by Bob Dylan and Norah Jones.
"We are excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary with these special thank-you surprises for our customers," Amazon.com Vice President Kathy Savitt said in a statement.
"Amazon.com and (courier firm) UPS will continue to surprise customers with these special deliveries until July 16, so you might see us on your doorstep," she said.
July 16 marks 10 years since founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos opened the "virtual doors" of Amazon.com from his Seattle-area garage.
Since 1995, the website has vastly expanded its product offerings from just books and now also operates sites for customers in Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany and Japan. - Sapa-AFP
