NPV and Christmas

Having just learnt the NPV concept I was interested to learn of Amazons recent patent of NPV for delivery dates. Techdirt published the new that Amazon has patented the idea of assessing delivery dates (expected times) based on the future profitability of that customer. So if you are a good future prospect for Amazon you can expect speedy delivery of goods. Bad news if Amazon decide you have a low NPV as a customer. Read the article here. So would santa have a low or high NPV?
