    No wonder Amazon is so big

    Yesterday afternoon around 2:30 my son Adam ordered a Firestick for my T.V. so that I can watch the Grand Tour (on Amazon Prime, of course).
    11:00 this morning !! the courier knocks on my door. Here it is. Competitive price and free shipping. How can you beat that?

    Yup, ordered a Bosch O2 sensor for the Volvo on Friday afternoon with free trial Amazon Prime, delivery showed as Sunday then got moved to Saturday by 8pm, and the part actually arrived at my door Saturday morning. Installed by Saturday afternoon.

    On top of that, this part is to replace one I bought from Amazon in 2016 and it failed just past the 12 month mark - Amazon recommended I call Bosch to find out what the warranty period was, Bosch said it was now out of warranty so no coverage available (12 month warranty), I let Amazon know and they offered a refund if I sent it back (they're paying for return shipping). Cannot believe they did this as i was not demanding a refund or warranty coverage or anything - just contacted them to find out the warranty term (which wasn't on the original packaging) and said I was disappointed that the Bosch part failed.

    My free trial ran out.. dunno if it’s worth the $80 per year they charge. Guess it comes down to how often you use it. Great service either way.

    On the flip side, no wonder so many brick and mortar retailers are going under. Hard to compete.

    Pretty well anything you need these days you're able to get it on Amazon. Amazing how that company has grown. Heard the other day that Jeff Bezos is worth over 100 billion dollars...WOW!!!! My buddy ordered a pair of subwoofers and got them shipped in a few days...Unreal. Why would anybody go to a store these days?

    Yep.

    Off shore knockoffs. That don’t pass our safety certifications. Sold pennies on the dollar. Forcing reputable company’s to cut corners so the people who are always demanding the cheapest price can instead complain about an inferior product and no jobs
