From Amazon Dash to AmazonBasics, there are dozens of services offered by Amazon that users don’t know about. Here are the best.
Thousands of Italians now use e-commerce platforms daily to buy smartphones, household products, and any other objects to use in everyday life. The most used e-commerce site is certainly Amazon: the company created more than twenty years ago by Jeff Bezos has, over the years, become the reference point for millions of people around the world. Over the years, Amazon has evolved: it is not just a site where you can buy a book or an electronic device, but it offers many beneficial services to manage your life better. The best-known in Italy are Amazon Prime, an annual subscription allowing you to receive many items at home in less than 24 hours, and Amazon Prime Video, the streaming video platform created directly by Jeff Bezos.
But there are many more Amazon services, and few people know them. For example, Amazon Dash, the intelligent button that arrived in Italy towards the end of 2016, allows you to order products such as pasta, detergents, and biscuits by pressing a simple switch. Another little-known service is Amazon Garage, which will enable you to buy accessories for your car by entering only the model, or Amazon Vine, which offers the possibility of receiving exclusive products by becoming a reviewer. There are many Amazon services that people do not know: here are the most important.
