This is necessary. Is there was a way to show support for this cause as an Amazon customer? Ditching Amazon as a single individual doesn’t send a message.

Yes:

* During the strike, show solidarity by not crossing picket lines. Don't use the service, and don't patron the business for the duration of the strike. This is because during the strike, the workers that are filling in for the strikers are scabs and crossing the picket line.

* Spread the news, their demands, and encourage solidarity with these workers.

Strength is in numbers and solidarity. When that breaks down, the movement breaks down. It's why many States and companies do everything in their power to prevent the wage-earners from organizing effectively.

Don't know if you've been on amazon lately but they're so full of orders that delivery dates are almost impossible to secure. I don't think they'll mind a few less orders these days.

This is sadly, not terribly surprising. With most stores not grocery stores closed, people have to turn to online ordering to get what they need/want. And with Amazon having established themselves as the main entity to go to for online ordering, of course they are going to be overwhelmed with orders at the moment.
