    This was actually going to be my follow up question as well. It seems like some people are really into their same-day delivery but I’ve never felt the need for that. Probably because I’ve never experienced the convenience since I live in Okinawa which is a tiny island in Japan that didn’t have an Amazon warehouse until last year.

    I’m not sure where many people in this thread are from, but I have a question in case some of you who are complaining about, “I don’t really have a choice,” are from the US. Do you guys not have other online retailers? I thought the US would have Walmart, Target, Costco, etc. so that you could avoid using Amazon.

    In Japan we don’t have brick and mortar retail stores like the ones I mentioned above that carry all sorts of random products, but we do have Rakuten, which is an online shop/marketplace similar to Amazon. Does Amazon really have a grip on all online retail there?
