Amazon: 2016 biggest holiday shopping season yet

The 2016 holiday season was Amazon’s best yet, the company said Tuesday, according to Reuters.

The company said it shipped over 1 billion items throughout the world via Prime membership accounts.

And more than 72 percent of Amazon customers conducted their shopping using mobile devices.

“Despite our best efforts and ramped-up production, we still had trouble keeping them in stock,” said chief executive of Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer division Jeff Wilke.

Disney Pixar’s “Finding Dory” and a 72-pack of Keurig K-Cups were also among the best sellers.
