I use Amazon all the time AND I get free delivery right to my door. The last order I placed was for a very specific brand of coffee I like. I typically order 8 bags of coffee beans at a time and grind it myself at home. I placed my order with Amazon last Sunday afternoon and by 2pm the next day, a cardboard box containing my coffee was sitting on my front porch. The great thing about it was, that I paid slightly less per bag from Amazon and I didn't have to drive to the usual place in my car to buy it.

I have ordered tractor parts on Amazon for my father who owns a tobacco farm and those name-brand parts will be delivered right to his door within 48 hours every time, even if the parts depot is located in another country.

@swirlie Seems like Jeff Bezos is doing something right :)

He came up with a system that works and if he makes money off it, then so be it. For me, time is money and if I have to spend an hour shlepping myself around to buy coffee which is a commodity that's not that important in the grand scheme of things, then my coffee is actually costing far more than it's worth. But Amazon makes the mundane things in life much more easier to attain than ever before.

@swirlie I agree with you, anything that makes life even a little easier is one to engage with.
I just wonder if there is anything Amazon doesn't sell :)

@Nimbus
There are a few things that Amazon doesn't sell, such as house pets, lottery tickets, firearms, ammunition, sports paraphernalia, artificial intelligence software, just to name only a bunch.

@swirlie Just as well as I already have those ;)
