Well, some international customers have Amazon Prime. A friend of mine in Japan claims she orders everything from Amazon with low-cost same-day delivery ($8 extra in the US). She called it "Amazon Prime", but I have not looked myself.

Anyway, I am with you on ordering everything from Amazon. I live in the US and have Prime, and it's just amazing. Going to the store is just not necessary when you can have something show up at your house the next day for $4 extra. (I still buy most food in real stores. But that's about it.)
