> I don't think Amazon ships many essentials that it would justify the overtime in a situation like this to be honest.

What essentials? Toilet paper? Water? These can be bought from Amazon, no?

Hm, maybe there are regional differences, but I can only find some Fiji water for ~40$/0.1 gallons. There is actually some toilet paper which isn't too expensive. I guess you could also use the packaging for your derrière which would reduce the massive footprint of personally shipped toilet paper.

They just announced they are only shipping essentials.

And what products would that be? Their "essentials" line of articles that are not literally essentials?

Looks like that article was for shipping-to-them (from suppliers/3rd parties to the fullfillment centers)

What does the data say? What products are people buying as of now on Amazon?
