Amazon Fan Here - Not Offended Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Thu, 15 May 2014 08:33:12 In Reply to: Amazon moves modern Ecommerce back to the stone age, GFW3pedals [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 15 May 2014 05:42:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I order lots of stuff and some of it ships from China. You have to remember that not everything that is for sale on Amazon is for sale by Amazon. There are third party sellers on Amazon and there are a lot of Chinese third party sellers, so it takes awhile for stuff to arrive when it's going across the ocean.
I do feel a little bad about being such an Amazon fan. Although Amazon employs 60,000 workers, I listened to an interview with one of the founding investors (who, by the way, considers a $10M year a bad year) who says if all the Amazon business were being done by brick and mortor, it would account for 800,000 jobs.
