The items I've bought via Amazon have almost all, not been available on the high street, and the other items would've only been available using "mail-order" anyway.


The high street can't cope with the range of items available nowadays. It's as simple as that. AO.com has nearly 300 types of dishwasher available. How on earth could they exist on the high street? Especially if Boris insists lorries and vans aren't to be allowed to deliver the stock. Try getting a large fridge/freezer on the back of a cargo bike.
Amazon does several things. It's correct to describe it as a marketplace and a fufiller. But it's incorrect to say Amazon doesn't sell anything. Capitalising something unfortunately does not make it correct. This is the extensive Amazon basics range, for example, https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Amaz...7?ref_=ast_bln
