I don't like the market power of Amazon.

Nobody stops you from buying products directly from the company's website. You don't have to buy everything from Amazon.

I browse on Amazon, and then go to the company's website directly for the purchase. USPS, UPS, and FedEx will still deliver it just the same.

I tried to buy a cellphone case from the mfg. rather than Amazon.

Placed the order on their website, using their payment processing.

Delivered in an Amazon box by Amazon.

It was cheaper on Amazon as well. So I guess the joke is on me.

But not same-day. But even that's a bit iffy - I made a purchase from Amazon recently where they promised same-day delivery, on a Sunday no less! But it didn't actually arrive until Wednesday.

You’re saying that you still use Amazon because it offers a superior delivery service?

Then aren’t you glad that option exists when you need it?

But it sounds like their superior delivery service is a lie too. Promise next day or 2 day service but delivery in 3-4 days.
