Online retailer Amazon.com said on Tuesday it shipped over 5 billion items worldwide via its subscription-based Prime service in 2017 while adding more new members than ever before.
The
e-commerce giant, which revealed its Prime shipment numbers for the first time,
did not give comparable full-year shipment number for 2016.
Amazon
claimed that its Fire TV Stick and voice-controlled smart device Echo Dot were
the best-selling products among US Prime members from any manufacturer in any
category across all of its product offerings.
Amazon
Prime, which offers its users services like free two-day shipping for certain
purchases, unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Prime Video, has
been attracting more subscribers every year.
The
company said it shipped over 1 billion items worldwide via Prime during the
holiday season in 2016.
Amazon
Prime, which entered countries including Mexico, Netherlands, Luxembourg and
Singapore last year, now is present in 16 countries around the world.
Shares
of the Seattle, Washington based company were up 1.5 percent at $1,187 (roughly
Rs. 75,000) in afternoon trading.
