The story

Founded by Jeff Bezos on Jul 5, 1994, in Seattle.1

1994–2010

On July 5, 1994, Amazon was founded as "Cadabra" by Jeff Bezos, after he relocated from New York City to Bellevue, Washington, to operate an online bookstore. Bezos chose Seattle for its abundance of technical talent from Microsoft and the University of Washington, as well as its smaller population and the proximity to a major book distribution warehouse in Roseburg, Oregon. Seattle beat out Portland, Oregon and Boulder, Colorado.

In November 1994, Bezos renamed the company Amazon to reflect his ambitions for his company. (Amazon is the world's largest river.)

On July 16, 1995, the Amazon website launched, initially sourcing its books directly from wholesalers and publishers.

In May 1997, Amazon went public.

In 1998, Amazon began selling music and videos. It began international operations by acquiring online booksellers in the UK and Germany. In 1999, it expanded to sell more products, including music, video games, consumer electronics, home improvement items, software, games, and toys.

In 2000, US toy retailer Toys "R" Us entered into a 10-year agreement with Amazon, valued at $50 million per year plus a cut of sales, under which Toys "R" Us would be the exclusive supplier of toys and baby products on the service, and the chain's website would redirect to Amazon's Toys & Games category. In 2004, Toys "R" Us sued Amazon, claiming that because of a perceived lack of variety in Toys "R" Us stock, Amazon had knowingly allowed third-party sellers to offer items on the service in categories that Toys "R" Us had been granted exclusivity. In 2006, a court ruled in favor of Toys "R" Us, giving it the right to unwind its agreement with Amazon and establish its independent e-commerce website. The company was later awarded $51 million in damages.

In 2001, Amazon entered into a similar agreement with Borders, under which Amazon would comanage Borders.com as a co-branded service. Borders pulled out of the arrangement in 2007.

In 2002, the company launched Amazon Web Services (AWS), which initially focused on providing APIs for web developers to build web applications on top of Amazon's e-commerce platform. In 2004, AWS expanded to provide website popularity statistics and web crawler data from its Alexa Web Information Service. AWS later shifted toward providing enterprise services with Simple Storage Service (S3) in 2006, and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) in 2008, allowing companies to rent data storage and computing power.

Publishers can sign up as affiliates and receive a commission for referring customers to Amazon by placing links to Amazon on their websites should the referral result in a sale. Worldwide, Amazon had over 900,000 affiliates (2010). As of mid-2014, the Amazon Affiliate Program was used by 1.2% of all websites and was the second most popular advertising network after Google Ads. It is frequently used by sellers and non-profits to provide a way for supporters to earn them a commission.

Associates can access the Amazon catalog directly on their websites by using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) XML service. An affiliate service, aStore, allows Associates to embed a subset of Amazon products within another website, or linked to another website. Amazon Seller Product Suggestions provides transparency to sellers by recommending specific products to third-party sellers to sell on Amazon.

Product reviews

Amazon allows users to submit reviews of each product. Reviewers rate the product from one to five stars and offer commentary. Amazon provides a badging option for reviewers that indicates the real name of the reviewer (based on confirmation of a credit card account) or that indicates that the reviewer is one of the top reviewers by popularity. Readers can indicate whether the review is helpful or report that it abuses Amazon policies. If a review is given enough "helpful" hits, it appears on the product's page.

When publishers asked Bezos why Amazon would publish negative reviews, he defended the practice by claiming that Amazon.com was "taking a different approach...we want to make every book available—the good, the bad and the ugly...to let truth loose".

Some positive reviews were written and posted by public relations companies on behalf of their clients and instances of pseudonyms users leaving negative reviews of their rivals' works.

Amazon sales rank

The Amazon sales rank (ASR) indicates the popularity of a product sold on any Amazon locale. It is a relative indicator of popularity that is updated hourly. Effectively, it is a "best sellers list" for the millions of products. While the ASR has no direct effect on product sales, it determines which products appear in its bestseller lists. Products that appear in these lists enjoy additional exposure and may increase sales. Products that experience large jumps (up or down) in the rankings may appear on Amazon's lists of "movers and shakers". For competitive reasons, Amazon does not release sales figures. However, Amazon releases point of sale data via the BookScan service to verified authors. While the ASR was the source of much speculation by publishers, manufacturers, and marketers, Amazon does not release the details of its sales rank algorithm. Some companies analyze Amazon sales data to generate sales estimates based on the ASR, though Amazon states:

Please keep in mind that our sales rank figures are simply meant to be a guide of general interest for the customer and not definitive sales information for publishers—we assume you have this information regularly from your distribution sources

Operations

Headquarters

Amazon's global headquarters occupy more than 40 buildings spread across Seattle's adjacent South Lake Union, Denny Triangle, and Downtown neighborhoods. The first 14 buildings Amazon occupied in South Lake Union were purchased for $1.16 billion in 2016. The company was previously headquartered in rented space within the Pacific Medical Center, from 1998 to 2011.

Amazon built a four tower, four low-rise, complex in Seattle's Denny Triangle neighborhood to serve as primary headquarters, though it retained many other buildings to house its more than 45,000 corporate employees. The new campus was designed by NBBJ and named "Rufus 2.0" after a dog, once a fixture of the company. Construction began in 2013. The first tower, nicknamed Doppler, opened on December 14, 2015.

Other major campuses

Amazon's European headquarters are in Luxembourg's capital, Luxembourg. Its UK headquarters are at Principal Place, Shoreditch, London.

Amazon is also in the process of building a retail hub of operations center in Nashville, Tennessee.

On August 21, 2019, Amazon opened its largest campus in the world at Nanakramguda in Hyderabad, India. It is the first Amazon-owned campus located outside the US and features the single largest Amazon-owned building in the world. The 9.5-acre campus houses over 15,000 employees.

In December 2023 Amazon opened its 14-acre Amazon Africa headquarters. in Riverlands in Cape Town, South Africa.

Amazon built a major campus in Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, to host 15,000 employees. The company opened its first Bellevue office in 2017. Amazon's largest building in the city is Sonic, a 42-story building, with 1 million square feet (93,000 m2) of office space. It opened in 2024. The Bellevue campus included the 43-story Bellevue 600 tower, the tallest building in the city and the tallest developed by Amazon.

Software development

While much of Amazon's software development occurs in Seattle, the company employs software developers in centers across the globe. Some of these sites are run by subsidiary A2Z Development.

Retail

Amazon once operated various retail store brands, but later closed all save for Whole Foods. Most of the stores are located inside of the US, but Whole Foods also operates stores in Canada and the UK, while Amazon Go has six locations in London under the Amazon Fresh name.

Whole Foods Market (557 locations as of June 2026)

Logistics

Amazon uses many transportation services to move packages. Amazon-branded services include:

Amazon Air, a cargo airline for bulk transport, with last-mile delivery handled either by Amazon Flex, Amazon Logistics, or USPS.

Amazon Flex, a smartphone app that enables individuals to act as independent contractors, delivering packages to customers from personal vehicles without uniforms. Deliveries include one or two hour service via Prime Now, and standard Amazon.com orders, in addition to orders from local stores that contract with Amazon.

Amazon Freight, a freight brokerage and logistics service

Amazon Logistics, in which Amazon contracts with small businesses (Delivery Service Partners) to perform deliveries to customers. Each business has a fleet of approximately 20–40 Amazon-branded vans; contractor employees wear Amazon uniforms. As of December 2020, it operated in the US, Canada, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the UK.

Amazon Prime Air is an experimental drone delivery service that delivers packages via drones to Amazon Prime subscribers in select cities.

Amazon directly employs workers at its warehouses, bulk distribution centers, staffed Amazon Hub Locker+ locations, and delivery stations where drivers pick up packages. As of December 2020, it was not hiring delivery drivers as employees.

Rakuten Intelligence estimated that in 2020 in the US, the proportion of last-mile deliveries by Amazon's directly contracted services was 56% (mostly in urban areas), 30% by USPS (mostly in rural areas), and 14% by UPS. In April 2021, Amazon reported it had increased its in-house delivery capacity by 50% in the last 12 months (which included the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US).

Pickup points

In addition to Amazon Lockers, Amazon staffed around 30 pickup points in the US and over 800 independent points in India. US locations had large sets of Amazon Lockers and an area for customers to make returns. The India locations were in existing retailers where customers wait for a store employee to retrieve their package.

Supply chain

Amazon launched its distribution network in 1997 with fulfillment centers in Seattle and New Castle, Delaware. Amazon has several types of distribution facilities including cross-dock centers, fulfillment centers, sorting centers, delivery stations, Prime now hubs, and Prime air hubs. As of 2018 the US had 75 fulfillment centers and 25 sorting centers with over 125,000 employees. Employees are responsible for:

unpacking and inspecting incoming goods

placing goods in storage and recording their location

picking goods from their computer recorded locations to make up an individual shipment

sorting and packing orders

shipping

A picker may walk 10 or more miles a day. Employees carry hand-held computers that monitor their progress. Some warehouses are partially automated with systems built by Amazon Robotics. Amazon fulfillment centers host hundreds or thousands of employees.

The Fulfillment By Amazon program handles storage, packing and distribution of products and services for small sellers. Third-party sellers can use FBA to ship for other platforms, such as eBay.

In some fulfillment centers, items are stored on pods and are brought to pickers by four-wheeled robots. The robot slides under and lifts a pod slightly off the ground, before carrying it to a picker station.

In the US, many workers are hired as Amazon employees and granted shares of stock or sign-on bonuses, while others are offered seasonal positions.
