Let’s talk more about Amazon.

I recently signed up for Amazon Prime. Amazon is brilliant. Immediately after signing up, I bought a dozen items. It is so easy to use. I can understand why Amazon wants to keep their patent of one-click shopping. It is incredibly addictive to see something, and then know that you will have it very soon at the click of a button.

Amazon uses any carrier which is fastest. They have sent me goods using FedEx, UPS, and DHL. My orders almost always arrive in exactly two business days. I can even ship overnight for just $4, if I really need something the very next day. It’s nice to not have to go to CVS or, worse yet, take the unreliable town bus to Wal-Mart. Before Amazon Prime, if I wanted to buy something, I would write it down. Many days/weeks later, after accumulating a list of things to buy, I would go out to the shopping areas and buy everything at once to save time. Now, as soon as I think of something to buy, I get to a computer, order it, and forget about it. I get it within a couple of days without worry.

I share my Amazon Prime account with my parents, so hopefully they will take advantage of this amazing service as well. (You should!)
