But they've got to stock a lot more than they sell, no?

Yes, or to what extent ? It seems that amazon's revenue has less than doubled in a year, but
their floor space rose ten-fold.


I have no hard facts on utilization. Amazon is not forthcoming on specific numbers. I believe they are hardly utilized compared to full capicity. Unkonws are the following:

1. Is AMZN inventorying, the lawncare equipment?
2. Kitchen equipment?

A few others which may help utilize the distribution space but could cause huge inventory markdowns.
