Amazon is based in Seattle, Washington, USA, and started in 1994 as an online retailer for books. It soon expanded to selling software, music, movies, and furniture.

Now, it is one of the world's largest retailers with offices and fulfilment centres worldwide. It is also the second-largest employer in the United States.

Amazon offers its own line of products called Amazon Basics and also carries its own line of tablets, e-readers and smart home products. Amazon also offers streaming music and video services and also owns IMDb.com and Twitch.

Amazon trades on the stock exchange, and at the time of publication, Amazon shares were worth almost $4000 US each. One of the keys to their success is their attention to customer service. Amazon always fully investigates customer escalations and will offer a fair solution to ensure the customer is happy.

Amazon will also often donate or sell overstock and returned items so that nothing goes to waste.

Amazon is one of the most recognized and valuable brands in the world.
