> Even with occasional 3rd-party product issues

The problem with Amazon is anything can be "3rd-party" and you'll never know until you have a problem with it. Maybe the fraudulent product was the result of a sketchy 3rd-party dealer but also I don't really care -- I bought it from "Amazon" and they sent me tainted inventory.

Target and Walmart are catching up with their online operations and at least with them I don't have to worry about being shipped fake products.

Exactly. Amazon is still well in the lead. They have likely analyzed this entire problem with news and features scheduled over the next 2 years to resolve it as soon as their competitors gain any real ground.

That's still not anything close to "perfect execution".

You seem to be looking at this as a consumer who got a fake item (from a 3rd-party seller). Store experience is not the same as business execution.

The company is operating optimally, making the most revenue with the most growth while controlling costs and taking market share from all of its rivals. Nothing's perfect, but this is as close as you can get with a trillion dollar company that remains in the lead and is pulling even further ahead.
