There's a substantial portion of their customer base that would not consider other sites that took longer to ship. I'm not claiming everyone is like that but it's a relevant market.
- sokoloff 7y agoThere’s a substantial portion of Ford’s customer base who would never consider buying a Chevy (and vice versa). Nevertheless, we consider GM as a competitor to Ford when determining whether or not Ford is a monopoly.

- sokoloff 7y agoThat’s a position I understand but do not hold. I regularly cross-shop Amazon with EBay, NewEgg, B&H, random online shops I never heard of until Google found them, and even AliExpress. With most things I order on Monday, whether they arrive Wednesday or Friday makes no practical difference to me. I either want it Monday or kind of don’t care typically.
