Powerhouse Online Retailer, Amazon.com said that this holiday season was their, “best ever”.
One of the busiest online days to shop is December 15th, and Amazon customers ordered 6.3 million items that day. Which is a significant increase compared to last years 5.4 million on their peak day.
Unfortunately, Amazon has not released any dollar figures and wouldn’t say whether the average value of orders had changed. Many people are debating if the sole purpose of this increase was because of the online retailer giant or because there simply is just a larger demand to shopping online.
I bought a couple items online this holiday season. It was simple and convenient. The prices are typically the same, if not cheaper and with a lot of the items having FREE shipping, it doesn’t hurt the wallet as bad as it used to. It was easy and I am sure I will end up doing it again in the near future.
