I'd love to have spent more on Alexa, but having trust in the quality and pricing was critical to me so I stopped ordering after they messed it up a few times. I now verify my purchases on the website to ensure the bulk facial tissues (or whatever) are actually the cheapest and most legitimate listing for the brand I want.

Our company was acquired by Amazon in 2017 to help power Alexa's general knowledge / informational answers, and that's pretty much what we did. I only stayed for 15 months after acquisition though.
