Introduction
Amazon is a merchandising company that was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos. The
largest online retailer there is in the United States. Whiling continuing its large retail in the U.S.,
Amazon still services different countries. Amazon even has separate websites for different
countries.
Amazon started out as an online bookstore, but quickly diversified. Now Amazon sells
merchandise in a vast variety. Ranging from clothes to videogames to shampoo, one can find just
about anything on Amazons website. Even creating its own merchandise to sell was in Amazon
plan. The kindle, the fire phone, and even Amazon prime which streams videos, these are just
some of the view things Amazon has created.

Amazon has also created some companies of its own. In Seattle and a few other cities in
the Northwest Region of the US Amazon has started its own grocery delivery service. Ordering
groceries online helps people who work all day or people who can’t get out still get food.
Amazon Fresh will deliver and bring the groceries inside for whoever orders them.
I personally use Amazon for many things. Schools books can be rented from its website,
and it is are a great places to buy things in bulk. Using Amazon is very easy and convenient. Just
about everything I find online I find on Amazon.
