I disagree. Their core feature is rapid, reliable delivery of the ordered item. Other sites are cheaper than Amazon, but I don't trust them to actually deliver what I order in a timely manner.
When I do shop elsewhere, I don't mind entering payment details as long as I'm not required to save them (I don't trust most sites not to be hacked and leak my payment details). But if I ever get a delivery time over a week or a 'back ordered' status, I cancel the order immediately, because I know that they don't really have the item on hand and are just gambling that they can broker the sale at a profit. I've had merchants outright admit that they can't fulfill an order unless they can add some high margin accessories to an order. Not a game I'm interested in playing.
