"I'd reccommend them to everyone. Amazon should be everyone's first choice. Their service is great, goods are shipped and delivered before the estimated time. "
"I order several items a year directly from Amazon.Com...They have the best purchase policy of any online retailer. 1st, there is the 30 days no questions asked return policy. Most items are covered by this. You return purchases at Amazon.com's shipping cost!! Read the terms. Movie and music DVDs and CDs are generally excluded from "no questions asked" for obvious reason.
I also order from Amazon Marketplace sellers. Unlike eBay, Amazon exercises some controls over resellers. Shipping charges are regulated by Amazon. Your payment goes to Amazon and Amazon pays the reseller. Unlike eBay, Amazon has no complaint bot to handle buyer complaints.
One caution. Amazon is a huge corporation, not a sworn to poverty and charity service religious order. Intentionally or not, Amazon does sell knock offs. I ordered a professional hairstylist Farouk Chi Hair Dryer that turned out to be a knock off & one very expensive curling iron is too. I know a customer who bought one. It was missing the S|N number buyers must have to register the warranty. Just be cautious. We returned are items within 30 days. Amazon paid returned postage & refunded our money, under the no questions asked return policy.
Be cautious about buyer reviews. Anywhere, not just Amazon.com. About 85% of buyer reviews are useless. Do not let them think for you. Overall that works in the retailers favor, which is why all smart online retailers allow buyer comments, reviews, or feedback --whatever thy label it.
Most buyer feedback is irresponsible. Few are the buyers who actually use a product before they rate their buy, which is why only a couple retail sites allow buyers to return later and correct a previous positive rating (sell.com is the exception and their growth rate has been slow!)
The Store Credit Cards. Be sure to read & understand the Amazon.com credit card options before picking one. Print out the rewards points
policy and carefully read how you get points for offline purchases. Its not as simply as many people think. Read it until you fully understand it, particularly the part about points for gasoline and various retail store purchases.
Use caution if and when buying from Amazon Marketplace sellers, especially computer software & particularly expensive Microsoft software. There are people seller counterfeit Windows 7 and 2010 Office. Some have buyer feedback in which every one of them report Microsoft shutting them down because their Windows 7 is counterfeit. Yet, Amazon had not shut these sellers down! "
"I LOVE AMAZON.COM
:D
nearly order something from amazon each month and all are greater than i imagin."
"Always a pleasure buying from Amazon"
"I shop Amazon all the time - most recently I snagged a great deal on some new Teva sandals for summer. I rarely have a problem shopping here - definitely my favorite online store!"
"Amazon has been the greatest place to shop for me!I have saved,so much!They have just about everything you'ed ever want!And they deliver!OUTSTANDIND AMAZON!"
"Purchased asp.net C# book for 3.5 good pricing and very fast shipping! Love Amazon!"
"I have been a loyal customer with Amazon for so long I can’t even remember when I join. Amazon has been an intricate part of my life and I’m not sure what I will do if I loose contact with Amazon due to service interruption. I move from New York City to Port Saint Lucie Florida and my experience has dramatically changed in particular my shopping experience. Being from New York I was able to get what ever I was looking for and now as part of a small town there are lots of thing that have not made out here yet special in the novelty department. I can always count on Amazon to have what I’m looking for. Amazon is like what Sears catalog was to yesteryear America when people did most of their shopping by catalog in particular rural America. I’m glad to have Amazon on the internet it has made my life leaving a little bit better because I can always get what I want mail to me without having to leave the my town to look for it. Just go on the internet and the world is just a click away from me. "
"Like Amazon
best one in my heart"
"Simply the Standard for Online shopping. Great return policy. Con: Free Shipping on orders over $25 has started to slow down, "free ship" orders seem to be held or delayed before sending to out. Other than that it's still always my first stop to shop."
"How can you say "HOLY COW" in a good way? This was absolutely, positively the BEST online buying experience I have ever had when dealing with customer service. I have had lots of no-hassle orders that just show up, but the true measure of a company is when something goes wrong. In this case, I ordered a $2K video camera. It shipped 2 Day Air free on our Prime account. When it arrived, UPS had so demolished the box that they replaced the box. When it was delivered, they did not tell us it had been replaced. When I got home and opened the box I noticed that the label on the box was cut from another box and taped to the replacement box the camera was delivered in. I called UPS and told them they had deceitfully exchanged boxes and thereby denied me the opportunity to reject the package. I mean, a $2K camera dropped 30 ft from a conveyor could completely screw up the sensors, lenses, etc. They wouldn't take responsibility for the package because it had been signed for and I opened it and said I had to complain to Amazon. So, blood pressure high, I called Amazon. Amazon not only agreed to take the camera back and pay for the freight and insurance back to them, but they shipped the replacement over night!!! WOW!!!! I am a convert to Amazon (not Amazon Retailers). If it ships directly from Amazon, you are taken care of!!!"
"Amazon is the second best online retailer after Newegg.com."
"I used to really root for Amazon, especially when they kept slogging it out back when the bubble burst. But lately I've been getting sick of them. The pages are cluttered, product information is often minimal, shipping delays can be extreme, and they play games with rapidly bouncing prices up and down. But mainly I'm upset with the whole affiliated merchants (or whatever it's called) thing. I can't use Prime shipping with them, and the quality of the merchants is a real crapshoot. The last thing I bought "through" Amazon, for example, was misrepresented in the product description, and shipping was too high. I can take chances on internet merchants without Amazon's "help." I think I'll go back to using Amazon as a reference resource only, and maybe buy from them if they ever go back to selling their own products only. *Maybe*"
"I have always had great success with them with every order."
"First time order which I'm still waiting for. I've heard good reports, but I'm finding thier delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Cant track orders in delivery. This is poor and even expedited delivery is incredibly slow.
Other than that, look to have a good range of products. "
