The services effective in Manhattan will see countrywide rollout by 2015.

As Amazon rushes ahead with technology-based services and delivery of wide-range of ecommerce goods, it has had not-so-impressive record at the stock markets. The profits have been diminishing in the past quarters. While investors are decidedly disappointed with Amazon’s turnout this fiscal, consumers are a happy lot. All they need is their Amazon mobile app and perhaps a Prime Membership to receive undoubtedly the best line of ecommerce services in recent times.
