It does. The global amazon experience is imperfect, but amazing compared to what we had before it, unmached by competition and life changing enough that we use it for everything.

You can't do that by being average.

Don't confuse high standards and perfection.

Getting counterfeit merchandise from the factory to your doorstep faster than ever before.

They are amazing In some areas, but have very low standards in others.

Or if you're in Austria, you are conditioned to accept that delivery dates offered are 1-2 days off. The warning about "purchase within the next xx hours to receive it in 2 days" is absolute garbage. And the fact that I can select whether it's delivered on Saturday is bullshit, because no courier service here ever delivers anything on Saturday. Yet years later, my Prime packages are still being offered to be delivered on Saturday. I guess I shouldn't complain though, their estimated delivery times are still on par with every other eShop.
