3. Summary
Amazon.com, the world’s largest online retailer, has forever changed the face of retailing. Once exclusively
a book seller, Amazon now offers an inventory that ranges from apparel to wireless phones and everything
in between. They have mainstreamed a once niche consumer electronic category — eReaders — with their
incredibly successful line of Kindle products. In the process, Amazon has become one of the top sellers of
digital media – eBooks, mobile apps, music MP3s and movies – in the world
This eDataSource report focuses on the nuts and bolts of the online consumer sales of this multinational
giant. Focusing on the April-June 2012 time period, we’ve estimated performance metrics about Amazon’s
recent sales activity, and have sought to answer:
- How do overall sales vary from month-to-month?
- What is the average order value overall, and by sales category?
- What is the % sales breakdown and average unit retail (AUR) by category?
- Which Kindle models are the most popular?
- What % of purchases are sold directly by Amazon compared to third-party sales?
- How does the purchasing behavior between Prime members and regular customers differ?
- What shipping methods are utilized and is there a difference of order size between methods? Do
Prime members always use free two-day shipping?
Please note: this report focuses on U.S. sales only and excludes digital media sales and rental data.

4. Methodology
eDataSource utilizes its proprietary email analytics capability and panel of ~800,000 consumers to provide
unique insights into consumer purchasing trends by examining online purchase confirmations delivered by
email.
eDataSource has conducted detailed analyses of the sales and subscription rates at Amazon.com,
Walmart.com, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Netflix, Staples, Office Depot, Gilt, Ideeli and others using
anonymized data from more than 580,000 online purchase and subscription confirmations over the past six
months.
This Amazon Sales report is based on the analysis of over 30,000 anonymized Amazon receipts from
eDataSource’s proprietary panel during April-June 2012. This data represents purchases of nearly 50,000
items.
Important note: digital content sales and rentals (i.e. Kindle Edition books, movies, MP3s, mobile apps)
have been excluded from this report. Amazon’s digital content sales and rentals are available separately
from eDataSource.
The primary analyses contained in this report include Amazon’s retail (physical goods) web site sales trends,
performance by category, Amazon vs. third party sales, prime membership trends and shipping method
trends. Approximately 85% of products identified were categorized into ten groups based on Amazon’s
published store directory list.
eDataSource has defined a prime member as a customer who has made an order with free two-day
shipping.
Items sold by Amazon.com, Amazon.com LLC, Amazon Digital Service, Inc. and Amazon Export Sales are
considered “as sold by Amazon”, other items are “sold by third party.”
For shipping method analysis, we’ve limited our analysis to five major categories -- standard, free super
saver, two-day shipping, one-day shipping and expedited shipping. Amazon international shipping and
some special methods such as no-rush delivery and release-date delivery have been excluded.
