The fast shipping. Need something the next day? -> Amazon. No other online store can match how fast they are in my area.
A lot of things offer free same day shipping for me now. I’ve gotten things three hours later for no extra charge.
I usually try to shop locally or at least a smaller online business, but if it’s a more expensive item and Amazon is cheaper, and I can still get it the same day or the next, Amazon usually wins out. One thing that has also bothered me is when I order directly from a company for more money and slower shipping and it’s still fulfilled by Amazon.
