It's pretty great where I live in Europe in a country where they don't even operate. If I buy on Amazon.de, they ship products from Germany and items usually arrive within a week including going through customs, as they remove EU VAT and include local VAT at time of purchase (which probably clues you in to which country I live in). This avoids the massive customs processing fees, extra VAT, and wait times I would incur from most other international sellers.

Their prices are almost always the lowest I can find on books, similar to Book Depository which they also now apparently own. Other items like the small kitchen appliances I've bought on the DE site are also almost always cheaper than I can find in brick and mortar stores.

I'm not sure they have the same grocery service in most European markets that they have in the US, where as I understand it the grocery orders are handled rather separately with local selections.
