I have an addiction to Amazon

Ronstein · 11-23-2020, 03:27 AM

I'm back on a pathetic 75.....must do better!

AyrshireColin · 11-23-2020, 04:14 AM

272 year to date. 341 in 2019 so not going to match that this year!

chris-c · 11-23-2020, 05:47 AM

2014 - 47
2015 - 92
2016 -269 (most of these were paid for samples for reviews!)
2017 - 173
2018 - 191
2019 - 199
2020 - 288

AlanQS · 11-23-2020, 06:15 AM

Between 19 and 31 orders over the previous five years. This year - 92

I can't match some of the others in sheer number, but a three-fold increase over the previous biggest year!...

Striking thing is that they tend to come in flurries of five or so orders then a few weeks break. It's that temptation of 'while I am on the site...'

Other striking thing is just how much is baby related!

2018 ended at 54
2019 90
2020 90 so far

Bit of an amateur.

Interestingly 2017 now shows 47, whereas I typed 67 in this thread. Typo or disappearing orders...

I've spent nearly £17.5k since I started using Amazon but most of my spending has been since around 2015 when I started using it regularly!

The mrs isn’t happy

Can you get the figure from Amazon? I presume they wouldn't provide this as it could be rather scary in my case! My guess would be £50-70k...

Yes it from Amazon, you just put in a request and it's emailed to you in a couple of days!

Do it, everybody else will do it as well and as usual it'll descend into a willy waving contest!

My son and daughter do have - which means they order for me - that's the plus...

Down side is they have my credit card details to use - occasionally I get a random text saying "Oops used wrong card for my amazon order, I will transfer the cash"..... they know of course I will say dont bother!

C320 · 11-23-2020, 11:52 AM

Jeez, our order stats look like this!

So lockdown has certainly had an impact, we have a delivery at least once a week at the moment. I did actually boycott them a while back to make a small stand against their tax arrangements - didn't last long, it's just so convenient to use.

2020 YTD - 242
2019 - 111
2018 - 86
2017 - 72
2016 - 82

Proper Amazon purchase.

Ridiculously HUGE Toblerone. Yes that is a pint glass and a BMW key for some scale.
