The biggest reason I use Amazon, and I'm careful to only buy from Amazon is because of their logistic velocity.

I ordered electrical switch plates from a company that specialized in electrical switch plates, it's all they sell. After 5 days the product hadn't shipped, I cancelled the order and place a prime Amazon order and received the wall plates the next day. I paid a slightly higher price from Amazon but I actually got the product.

The problem with Amazon is that you can't be sure that you got the product you intended to buy.

Yes, there are hoops you can jump through to confirm the seller and item you received are legit, but as a customer, you shouldn't have to do that.
