A brony randomly finds herself in Equestria, transformed into a pony; she still possesses her laptop, though, and everything she orders on Amazon is somehow still finding its way to her doorstep.
Shenanigans ensue, possibly involving a monopoly and definitely involving the Crusaders. Crossover tag related to some of the things she orders... that the real Amazon doesn't carry.
Disclaimer: The main character in this story abuses an Amazon account. Do not attempt; In real life, this would likely lead to account termination and, for the scale she does, legal investigation.

Shaddap.
Anyway, good story. I already want M̬̱̥͔̮̜̝͊̿O̙͖̐̈̉͑̈͟R̟̯̊̍͗ͨ̒ͦͯÉ.

Actually, it's accurate as 'brony'. It's revealed in a side comment later that she was also gender-swapped during the transformation.
9211928
Good to hear, thank you!
Hmm.... If two-day shipping can reach Equestria, perhaps it can reach me in middle-of-the-nowhere Alaska!

I don’t know. I do know Amazon advertized, at some point, there’s an island somewhere with a couple living on it... only a prop plane could reach them. Yet, when they ordered a washer and dryer, two days later, they were on their doorstep!
So, if you’ve got an address up there, I’d wager to guess they can get it there.
I'm guessing they use drone delivery for that?
I wouldn't be surprised, though, if they have issues with Derpy hitting/collecting them.
Or perhaps Derpy manages to accidentally cross dimensions and pick it up?
Or Prime has a new teleportation service in Beta and the protagonist qualified?
I am interested to see how that package arrives.
How good is she with electricity? A comical zapping scene seems in the works...
I'm assuming her charger is fine with both main AC frequencies to have enough operational range to work with whatever Equestria uses, or this is going to be a short story.
I'm now wondering what sort of funny things could be done to a power transmission frequency with magic. Perhaps it's like Phlogiston, where its absence is what provides power, so the ground and hot leads are swapped, or maybe instead of time-domain oscillating, it oscillates physically, or in another dimension...
I doubt any of that will come up in the story, but it could be interesting.

When you see this, there has been too large of a timeskip. Offscreen moments of awesome aren't normally played this close to the start of a story...
Oh, that's clever. She's going to start an outlet for Amazon, using their own logic... and still making a huge pile of money.
You are making that outlet thing a running gag, aren't you...
How can the stupid thing be larger than the fridge itself?! :P
...I don't actually know how their devices get power in canon, or even if they actually use electricity for the few technological devices they have. Are their outlets large?
Those damn outlets....
This business idea can only go so well....

Yes, I agree. The only problem being that slice of life events like that don't really belong in a comedy unless they're comedically funny. Which it is as an offscreen moment of awesome, but not so much as an SoL event.
Besides, comedies tend to ignore the rules a lot, don't they?
9214147
The huge-outlet thing is explicitly for the purposes of this story- as a method to prompt her first order, but keep it small. From what I've seen, aside from the show's terrible inconsistency, Equestria seems to be in the steam age- so, before electricity in general. Since they have magic, that kinda makes sense- they'd use that instead... and generally not develop electricity. That's the stance all my other stories take.
9215279
Oh yes, absolutely!
Maybe it has a model one? Just drill a hole in the top, pour in a little gunpowder with a string through the drilled hole. Add some confetti, and BAM, party cannon.
9216005
I found plenty of confetti launchers, but no party cannons.

She used to be a he, after all.
9216052
Mmm, that's a typo, thanks.
Awww
Hum... not sure what this story is going to be about the guy, now gal, is in Ponyville and is making orders from one dimension to an others. The Writing isn't bad so far, but not much happening as there doesn't seem to be much of a goal for her to do or what little back story there could be. this could be an interesting story. but something needs to happen before actually get the plot to move forward.
Also, If you are interested to know, I also do a lot of cover art, and if you are interested in having a personalized commissioned cover art of your story please PM. the link to my DA gallery is in the link bellow, I hope to hear from you soon.

Well, it so happens this story is a comedy- there really is no plot, no backstory, no nothing, just comedy. That cover art thing, though... I’m going to have to look into it.
What manner of magick Amazon is this then?
I can't wait for it when Celes- ahem... Trollestia finds out. I bet this magick shoppe keep Amazon is where she gets her pranking material
here
It's usually bad practive to end adjacent sentences in a similar way.
9217561
Oh, I have a plan for that.
I honestly thought this chaptef would have celestia and luna...
You did not dissapoint though
I'd like to place an order for one singular electron, no more no less :)
interesting chapter.
Nice chapter, keep it up.
I’m loving this
no don't end the story need far more chapters!!
9220348
I agree- however, we’re fast approaching the point where it simply isn’t practical/interesting to continue.
I CALL SHENANIGANS!!
what about the princesses and villains there quite a bit there? Especially the villains.
Well, that was unexpected. I have to say that Twi ordering a bunch of pens, however, is a rather clever one, judging by how many quills she goes through. I bet that was her favorite part of the order.
NEED MORE NOW! plz
Only 1 in the universe?
And i was thinking luna would want a very elaborate gaming set up
Uh, what happens next? hello? Hello!? Anyone there!? HELLO!?

Sorry, this story has been stonewalled at this point for four months... and we're prettymuch past the part where I can have any real comedy left. Even this feels a little stunted, after Twilight's... so I left Luna's (clearly excessive) order to mystery.
9447329
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US!!
9447513
I'm sorry, I really wish I had more to offer. I know I enjoyed writing it as well.
Wow. They actually broke the 2-day limit. Scary.
9448938
FYI: On car tires, it's Prime 3-day shipping. Still showed up in two, though... (Yes, real-world experience.)
What was Luna's order? I am too scared to find out, but I am really curious......
10280939
This is a very good question. There's a few hints when she's placing it... but I don't think I ever even conceptualized it.
When I read the line about fire coming from his hooves I jokingly wondered out loud if that was Ironpony. I didn't actually expect it to be lol
I wanna know what Best Princess ordered!!
I'm on the fence between
(A) a ton of console games with respective consoles as well as a big screen tv
-OR-
(B) a ton of VR games with appropriate VR gear and the rest of any needed items to be able to use all of it.
I'm a big fan of Gamer Luna if it wasn't obvious
