Amazon offers a few things that make it an essential stop for both buyers and sellers.

1) Inventory is highly accurate.

If Amazon says the product is available, it most likely is. Not true with WalMart.

2) The quantity of available goods is extensive.

You can buy just about anything from Amazon --- even a house or a car. Not true with Grainger.

3) Delivery is not as accurate but still beats the competition.

They can put the goods on your doorstep faster and for lower shipping cost than most others. Less than the real cost of driving to Walmart only to discover that the product their web site said was available there is not there.

Bringing all of this together is not easy. Yes, Amazon has issues but the competition has bigger ones.
