Admit it Linus, you just looked up some random items so your history of "adult thing" searches wouldn't show.
+Waga Yuuri Things like buckets and towels and some more water buckets.
+Devil Dude Don't forget opaque storage bags!
+Waga Yuuri I always use incognito mode when I open Amazon links.
+Waga Yuuri You can hide any item you've viewed, and even orders. Don't ask me how I know.
+reinux libs ends Panola
4:20 DO NOT BUY IT. My daughter will pretty soon forget how to walk :-). 4/5 stars.

I just got my E-commerce assignment and this covers all the questions. How convinient.
Thanks Linus.
Bluetooth as fast as possible?
Wireless file charing at close range. The train goes Boom!
+Donald Hyacinthe Already made that.
How about, CPU Threading AFAP?
+Donald Hyacinthe yes , hyper threading
How about, Radio Frequencies AFAP?
The term fulfillment center makes me question humanity.
+The Hoax Hotel a research center if you know what i mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+The Hoax Hotel They fulfil the orders...
Love ur vids!!!!
Fulfilment centre sounds like a very aperture name
Fulfillment Center is questioning humanity too, as in "how many humans do I really need to function".
aliexpress as fast as possible
+esframunas963 YES plz
A whole seller which items from China are plagued to the masses for generally cheap prices, and questionable quality. #DONE
+esframunas963 I wouldn't mind this one.
+Siedepunkt You look a lot like Leo Messi. Just saying because the whole Aliexpress thing reminded me lol I GOT A MESSI JERSEY FOR $10 FROM THAT WEBSITE!!!
+esframunas963 pretty much a importer with things are low prices and maybe fake things....
this video quality though. i feel like hes in the room. how did you get in my house?!
+Dominic Lobban I can see him pixelated(Only 360p)
+Anantha Krishna With 3Mbps connections, 360p is the god's resolution, so many pixels!
Jose Rosas LOL :D
+Jose Rosas Bow to 1080p King 😎
Asif Islam Bow to 4K(ing) ;)
Great video Linus, I like learning how things work, I think if you did an in depth of this as well it would be amazing, but I do understand that this is As Fast As Possible.
Can you do a "sponsored content as fast as possible"?
I saw one of those fulfilment centres in my city. It was really neat to see. It's absolutely massive and they have massive windows for the public to see how the entire warehouse looks like inside.
I like this type of as fast as possible. It's a new taste of the show or mole likely new topic not just technic dictionary. Good job LMG!
"speaking of" = incoming ad
+TheNewFlesh At least we know the exact time to close the video (since I have already watched all his 4 or 5 ads).
+TheNewFlesh "speaking of" = close tab +NatanTeam got there first
Hexspa Exactly. However, I always watch the 5 s after the "speaking of" just to see what kind of joky linkage he's gonna do.
amazon prime in the uk is 1-day shipping, is it 2-days in the US?
+BattMarn that's probably because the UK isn't as large area wise. The maximum distance items will have to go is definitely much shorter than the US. It's not that hard to get an item from England to Scotland or England to Ireland, getting it halfway across the U.S isn't as easy.
The U.K. Is about the size of the average state which means that there are more fulfilment centres per km
+Jordan 1 Ireland isn't part of the UK, 2 many items in the UK amazon store (there isn't an Irish one) don't ship to Ireland, 3 shipping to Ireland is so expensive that it's usually way more expensive to order from amazon than to buy something similar locally
+BattMarn
Less than $35 its 2-day
More than $35 its 1-day
Both ships weekends, at least for me, prime is super worth it.
+BattMarn If you use the "free" thing it usually goes via their own courier service which is absolutely SHITE. I prefer to pay the little bit extra and get it for next morning, that way it goes via DPD which is a WAY better courier. They actually employ their delivery drivers, Amazon don't, they're freelancers who get paid per delivery so they're motivated to not give a fuck how it arrives so long as it does, even making it up.
really? you did amazon??
+Alex Preciado Why not?
+Michel Desormeaux it's how it works, which does Involve TECH
+Michel Desormeaux Holy crap, you are just about as annoying as that guy's furry icon.
+MrBoo88 you think I give a crap
+Alex Preciado yes, he "did" amazon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I like this for a way to continue the channel's release schedule while keeping it interesting.
GJ guys
LOL that picture at 2:40 of all the boxes the wrong side up hahaha
This was actually pretty informative. I do enjoy this channel, even when it goes over things I know about, you can sometimes hit historical tidbits, or little outlier items i may not of known.
Interesting, heard about it so much but never really knew how it worked :)
I thought this would be a rushed video, but it was actually very informative and interesting. I'd like to see more of this type :)
Awesome. Great way to expand Techquickie beyond the expected.
The greatest shopping experience ever for me, I've been a Prime member for years and one the best things about shopping there is the great selection and customer reviews.
I'd rather wait 2 days and get a better item at a good price, than get something right away of lesser quality and at a higher price.
About 10 years or more, I started out just buying a CD or two, but now a Prime member I have purchased a wide variety of items and have about 12 shipping addresses to send items to... with my church being one of them, and 4 payment options also stored in my account memory, and my wife and I have Amazon Prime store cards, and speaking of which; I think I'm about to go there for a few more items shortly... customer service is great also I might add.
More videos like this please!
The detail did not make it boring to me.
Here in Germany Prime is often next-day shipping without extra cost. HOWEVER, one of the biggest drawing cards for me that wasn't mentioned in this video is Return Processing. Products I buy that are fulfilled by Amazon can be returned for free. Once I start a return, I print their pre-paid shipping label and drop it off at the shipper's station 3 blocks from home. If I'm sure to be at home all day, I can even have the return item picked-up for free.
Hey guys how many days does it take to get our thing from amazon...???
This is a good topic for Techquickie. Retail as shaped by modern technology. You could do episodes for anything - medicine, sports, business - anything shaped by modern technology.
I only shop at amazon too... All my friends ask me "Oh where did you get that?" "Nice jeans, which shop do you go to?"...
keep making more videos like that Linus ... they are fully educational
Alright I have been thinking this for a while(since I learned i'll have to have prime to watch new top gear!) and since this video and you guys love amazon so much please do a fast as possible covering what amazon prime is and what all you get out of it, like tv, shipping and special deals. Just something i want to know more about before paying $100. Thanks.
Some history on how something almost everyone uses got started??? all for it. more vids like this for sure!!
When I saw the title I thought, why the heck do you need to do a fast as possible for Amazon? It seemed like a useless video but I thought it was good and informative, it was kept my interest, nice job Linus and co!
Great video! I would love to see more of this type! I watch this channel on and off and this video caught my attention. :)
2:50 haha I actually went to my door to check if someone was there lol
Amazon is actually my go-to now, even for tech shopping. They don't always have better prices, but they often have something similar enough for a better price. Newegg has better filtering, and B&H has no tax or shipping (since I'm in Cali) but the vast selection and ease of use trumps those for smaller purchases, at least for me.
Great video Linus. I saw Amazon's concept of enterprise in an IT/management course at my university a few years ago, so yes, still relevent and interesting!
It is great to have you explaining Amazon how they work!
I did not know about the evenly distributed items per warehouse, definitely a good bit of trivia.
I actually liked this video. I'd like more content explaining how (tech) companies got their start and how they did things then compared to now.
Really interesting video guys, looking forward to more like this.
If you know an amazon employee, ask them about the open house. Once a year they invite employees to have their friends or family visit the inside of the fulfillment centers and get to see the operations. It's pretty cool to actually see how product flows throughout the facility.
Hey LInus, I work for Amazon in Indianapolis, Indiana. The largest warehouse we have to date is 2.1Million square ft. in Whitestown,Indiana. Also with our new Prime Now program we can ship to your doorstep in less than 2 hours. Thats right, from order to doorstep in 2 hours. Check out the PrimeNow app in your app store and enjoy. Free 2 hour delivery with amazon prime.
-Sincerly, A Humble Dispatch Supervisor for Indianapolis
@techquickie is that the zen watch 2 on ur wrist?
soooo, did you buy the firepole in the end?
So, why do only some items have the option of shipping internationally, and the 'ships to x' filter just doesn't work at all?
These sort of videos are so much better than the generic ones! more likely will learn something new compared to generic technology videos! how about race car telemetry (tracking timing and car/engine data) ?
Heh... and expanding on the "even distribution across the entire warehouse", Amazon has now taken it a step further, and they just pick up the shelves with little robots and bring them right to a person who can grab the items without moving around the warehouse at all.
It's pretty amazing.
You should do a tour of a fulfillment center!! they're amazing!
Amazon prime is known as amazon fba, or fulfillment by amazon. It’s independent sellers products that have been sent to amazon warehouses before the order takes place. The independent seller is usually a millennial behind a laptop, that orders from the manufacturer a few times per month to re stock the inventory when it gets low.
I'm an Amazon Fullfilment Employee and I can admit it is a great job to work in. Well if you work hard that is. Alot of the job is just making sure the package gets out. But as a worker for them, I can tell they are for prime orders as they put it aside to get checked out teh same day it comes in and sometimes it goes in one hour and comes out the next. Best company to check out for a first job.
I love the new videos. You have taught me a lot and I always checking your channels to learn more ! Thanks a lot :)
I love history stuff like this (as in, history for a thing/person/place) :) More please.
Are there any affiliate links for Amazon Italy?
This is why I'd love to live in the US. Everytime I want to online shopping (Amazon) I have to contact some external courier in my country and had to end up paying twice the price because of the shipping (the warehouse -> their PO BOX -> My country) and some extra stuff they charge.
Once I tried to buy a PS3 game, it was like 30$ on Amazon, end up paying 59$ for it. Plus the extra shipping day, took almost a month.
hey linus just wondering how much money do u get from amazon everyday?
You should do "Amazon Prime Now As Fast As Possible" - I'm really curious as to how they can achieve one hour delivery! It's available in my area now - I can order something at 8 PM and have it delivered by 9 PM. Crazy.
Linus, you did not mention, but they also have a lot of services like EC2 instances, S3 storage and many more that bring a lot of money to amazon
I could not find the link to the "Industrial sized bulk pack of Peeps" at Amazon you mentioned :-(
What time is it in the us I'm in uk
Hm, doesn't Amazon do drop shipping also? I mean when I buy stuff from Amazon i receive packages from all around the world? So does it just advertise some product and let the supplier do the rest of the work?
that doorbell sound got me lol
I like how you make the inside of an FC sound glamorous and well oiled. Lol
It was a very good video! as a business major and consumer it's important we learn the origins and business practices of online stores to make better choices! :D thanks Linus!
Interesting. Don't mind if there's more like this. Thanks!
In the UK it's 1 Day Delivery.
The delivery mechanism of Amazon is crazy fast!! It worked superbly almost every time for me.
But that said, I don't think that one should rely on a product review or how much stars a product got in a customer rating. It is many times confusing.
For example, how can the same product in two different color variations got different ratings?? Another example is some people rate a product bad because of tardy delivery. And another set of people give a product excellent rating because of super-fast delivery.
But the most hilarious example is many people completely misunderstand the star ratings. They give one star, but in the description, write "excellent product" ; it seems that they thought one star is better than five star.
These little things might seem insignificant, but they do affect the overall ratings. So, before relying those 4.5 star ratings, take a deep look......
I like the idea of this tech quickie. I think it would be cool if you did like a quick history of every big name in tech. Google, HP, IBM, Apple, etc. just a little rundown of how they started and how they became what they are today.
what about raspberry pi devices FAST AS POSSIBLE how well do they stack up as a regular NON-GAMING PC meant for surfing web and email??
What Joules of electricity, how to measured?
What program does he use to edit his vids ? Thanks
Absolutely liked the video. Would be cool how you show how businesses work. Like a How It's Made kind of thing from Discovery. Neat stuff!

could you maybe get an affiliate code for the uk?
i would totally use it for my upcoming video card and/or ram purchases
speaking of, should i get an r9 390, or an r9 380x and some RAM?
im running 8gb 1866 mhz RAM atm.
Very interesting! Keep these types of vids coming!
I loved this video.
Amazon for me in Portugal has some restrictions, as it has less offers than the International one, and not all items have shipping available to my door.
I use the Spanish one the majority of times, and then the German one, which has the best price almost all the time.
I admire the way Amazon grew, specially their server service, which allows many OEMs to use it as OTA servers, for example.
But I also look to China in some of this business. As their major player, Alibaba (owners of AliExpress, for example), have a service with deliveries in 3 hours.
You read it right: three hours to deliver your order.
Xiaomi - a major smartphone player - have partner with Uber to deliver their flagship (Mi Note) through their taxi service.
China is growing very quickly in the online retailing.
If I had to guess, Amazon keeps me coming back because of how it can contain just about everything. In one trip to amazon, I can get all my family's christmas presents while accomodating their various interests without having to juggle multiple websites to accomodate their interests, or disregarding their interests to order only from one website.
id love to see more company fast as possible episodes :)
Hey Linus , I've ordered a pair of gaming glass with your affiliate code , I love helping the show and I was already a big amazon customer!
Cheers from Quebec, Canada
Very interested in see more thing like this as well! :)
I loved this video Linus, I like shopping at Amazon, you mention few things I didn't know and will certainly help me thank you
Thank you for explaining their warehouse!!
At the beginning those were some funny things in containers. I have seen a tin can thing that said mammoth chunks and under that it said something like dehydrated water and Im like wtf.
Indeed that's different from other videos, but I love it! I think explaining how tech giants made it is very interesting and relevant to the channel
I like this style of video, do more of them.
I don't shop online very often...but when I do I usually use eBay. I've always used it, because the PayPal thing, as well as the buyer protection...through PayPal. I've only ever had an issue once, and I got my money back for it within a day. So, why pick Amazon over eBay?
4:04 like if you too laughed so hard when you saw this!
Maximus Perez you are so immature and childish
I've heard the suggested items thing was initially some new employee secretly adding the feature
I usually don't watch the as fast as possible videos, but this one was cool!
This was a cool video, I didn't know about the "Verified Purchase," feature to try and combat fake reviews. I learned something new. It reminds me of the fake reviews on Steam for video games. You'll see positive reviews but it has "0 Hours played," which lets you know they are paid reviews.
if anyone orderd from amazon please help me i want to get a gaming laptop but i dont know if i need p.o box or they can deilever it right to my house and do i have to pay with giftcard/credit card or can i pay for it when the dude with the laptop comes by
what did you do with the industrial size package of peeps?
I love Amazon I've almost never been disappointed through the many orders I passed on their website.
And for the few times something was wrong their reaction was very quick to get it correctly.
Can you please do a motherboard fast boot video and explain how it works
nice explains thanks
Great stuff!! Amazon is my favorite online marketplace. Always wanted to know how they functioned so effectively.
Incredible episode! Kinda of reminds me of mcmaster carr
I was looking at a nexus 6 on amazon, and they put an ad for nexus 6 on my fb page. 😲
This techquickie is very crisp. Looks great, lmg
Linus do types of panels. Explain IPS, TN, and other monitor panels
I like the idea of covering specific websites but it would be even better if you went more in depth -- beyond the obvious stuff about the websites. For example, we all probably knew how product ratings work, but we all may not have know about how Amazon organizes their warehouses. Thanks Linus!
Can you actually get a small discount if you watch a product over a large time?
does amazon ship to the netherlands?
Different battery types fast as possible? (NiMH, etc) :)
