You can return it at a person and whole foods like, uh, When you're ordering things, you can split it up into multiple orders. You can send orders to other places. Anything you can think you can do with buying something and paying for it and returning it in any combination, Amazon can do.

And so you're a little bit less fearful of buying things from Amazon because you know all the things you can do related to purchases. I'm pretty sure I can get them done. That is not the case with Apple accounts or Apple IDs.
