Without wanting to criticize the article, there is an interesting physics mistake here. Electric current is not actually moving electrons but _movement of electrons_.
This means that no physical electrons make the "round trip" in an electrical circuit, but the current propagates via locally moving electrons interacting through electromagnetic force.
So indeed, the electrons that Amazon is handling are definitely not identical to the electrons at your end, even in the hypothetical case in which there are no transformers and fibreoptics between you and Amazon.
