There won’t be too many retail companies distressed by the news that Amazon isn’t having a good time in Japan. Products are arriving late, or not at all. Yamato Transport, which provides most of the deliveries, has decided to no longer offer a same-day service, forcing Amazon to turn to rivals, which apparently are of varying quality.
