Amazon has been successful partly because of quick shipping. It really satisfies the instant gratification we have come to expect from watching too much TV. Amazon also partnered with many existing retailers and still does.
Contrast Amazon with two other companies I'm doing business with these days. Both selling gun related stuff. Both have shipping real slow. Amazon has 2 day Prime.
I'm sad to see Sears go. I have spent plenty of money there over the years but most recently I've patronized a local independent Sears store. I stopped buying their hand tools years ago about the time I started collecting Snap-on and Mac. Meanwhile Craftsman went through several design changes to their ratchets and each installment was lower in quality than the previous. 12 days ago when we needed to replace our clothes washer after over 23 years Sears didn't even get a look. News of the out of business fueled that.
