Online retailer Amazon.com on Tuesday released its first ever shipment records that shows the retail giant shipped over 5 billion items worldwide via its subscription-based Prime service in 2017.
While the records show that the e-commerce firm added more new members than ever before in the year under review, it did not give comparable full-year shipment number for 2016.
However, the firm noted that it shipped over 1 billion items worldwide via Prime during the holiday season in 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.
