Well, in Germany, Amazon logistics is so bad, that I am actively looking for other online shops that deliver through DHL. Most of the time, I don't care whether an electronic gadget arrives in one or two days. But I like reliability. And Amazon's own drivers usually arrive very late in evening, drop the packet wherever they want without even ringing the bell. Recently, I found an Amazon packages in my garden that was delivered before christmas.

And I agree totally with your point about search.
