to the call later) Although I'm afraid the market is overreacting. There
is nothing wrong to spend more money on marketing. I guess the work with
Target might be in it too. looking forward to a quick bounce up as long as
the market does not sink.
As a e-reader lover, I definitely believe in Kindle:). | j****9

发帖数: 239 | 5 Thursday, Amazon said the higher infrastructure costs were related to
expanding its distribution centers and its cloud computing business. The
company noted that it had added 13 fulfillment centers this year, adding to
the just under 40 centers in operation, and hired an additional 2,200
employees over the past quarter.
Meanwhile, Amazon's marketing and advertising expense climbed by nearly two
thirds, with a large part of that related to increased spending for

发帖数: 432 | 6 It looks to me that after this recession, internet shopping will take over most of the traditional retailers since most people are pushed to internet shopping just because they have not much money left during the recession will find out the benefits of internet shopping and stick to it.

发帖数: 165 | 7 I don't understand your logic. Everytime I buy something from internet, I
have to pay shipping, which makes the price much higher than local store
even if the price itself is lower.
Why you said more people will use internet when they try to save money? | i**y

a car accident. Also, it took time no matter how close the store is.
Internet shopping is already expected to surge over the next 10 years, from
2009 7% to 17% in 2019. The percentage is of the total retail sales in a
year. This is on top of any inflation, economic growth, etc.

发帖数: 432 | 9 You must find the wrong store online. Also, it is not logic for you to buy
online while you have to pay more.
Local stores' price usually included the transportation, rents for the
stores, salary to a larger employment base to pay and more inventory
handling to provide you the convenience for local shopping. So it is not
surprise to see much higher price for local stores. However,you do not need
the convenience for lot of staff you shop,that is where internet shopper
come in.

发帖数: 165 | 10 OK, may be I did not find cheap web site.
But, while I find most items are little cheaper tha walmart, if you count
for the shipping, actually not or break even. That make sense, because
otherwise, who would shop in walmart.
However, I also had a bad taste for internet shopping. I bought a special
computer last year from internet because I could not find it from local.
After received it, I found it was not the type I thought, so I return it.
That cost me extra $100 (UPS shipping and re-stock han |
