Amazon Overwhelmed By Coronavirus-Related Grocery Orders

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has changed consumer perceptions about when orders will be delivered. The company almost never goes out of stock on an entire category, and it's a retailer that consumers are sure will just have what they need.

That has not been the case during the past few days as heavy demand has stressed the company's supply chain. That has led to many items being unavailable or in scarce supply, including toiler paper, hand sanitizer, and some pantry basics. Amazon has been ht particularly hard by consumers turning to it for same-day grocery delivery, which it offers through multiple services.

Amazon has a number of different delivery services including one that brings items into your home. Image source: Getty Images.
