They could go to your competitor that's up. If you choose to be up, your competitor's customers could go to you.

If it’s that easy to get the exact same service / product as another vendor the maybe your competitive advantage isn’t so high. If Amazon would be down I’d just wait a few hours as I don’t want to sign up on another site.
