This is the first I’ve heard of this–everything I’ve read, including an article in Inc, made me think Zappos would stay independent for a while. That’s quite a payday though. Impressive.

BUT, i must say i wish every CEO ran their company with the core values Jeff Bezos has laid out. & he hires well too.

And the revenue figure is grossly overstated (by as much as 2x) since it includes returned items.

At the end of the day Amazon was probably worried about how Zappos was moving away from shoes into other offerings…kind of like how Amazon moved from books to everything from a to z.

I’ve returned items to both retailers and had very positive experiences. It certainly feels like a natural fit.

I hope Zappos keeps their distinctive white boxes and all the other quirks that make them such a lovable company!
