I know we've had upwards of 30 packages delivered here just in the last couple of weeks by fedex and UPS, so I wonder if Amazon skews the numbers somewhat. Delivery and online shopping companies do great, but retail in general sucks...
That is just a nitch market. On-line guys just can't move enough product because of distribution restrictions and if they had any real distribution capabilities they wouldn't be doing stuff purely on-line to begin with.
As far as normal retailers go their on-line business works exactly like their normal supply chain so it is seamless.
The main reason for such a sharp increase is everyone, even the big retailers are having a great year. It really isn't any one thing as much as it is everything. Our numbers would barely move it was only one part of the market.
