"Ordered a mouse for my laptop through amazon, for a great price £10 cheaper then elsewhere and super fast deliver. Not sure about the marketplace vendors but Amazon itself are brilliant. Keep up the low prices!"
"There are better prices elsewhere, but even then I like Amazon for the guaranteed satisfaction. I have had maybe 5 issues (bad/broken products) in several hundred orders, and never had any issues with return/replacement. Free shipping is always a win.
Recently added Kindle 3, and despite the "closed" platform (there are 3rd-party Mac/Windows/Linux tools to reformat ebooks as .azw* or .mobi), and despite Kindle's generally awful organizational capabilities (single level "collections", etc), I love reading casual fiction and some non-fiction on it. Common "reader services" are stream-lined and simple, although there is no longer a discount at Amazon for ebooks."
"Love Amazon. As parents, we order a bunch of baby stuff. They recently launched a MOM program where we get free prime membership for buying baby supplies regularly. This has worked out great for us. With 300+ orders per year (crazy, I know but we use Amazon for a bunch of stuff. They must lose a boatload of shipping on our account)."
"Among the best..Highly recommended"
"Rather than hunt around for deals at various different websites, I've put my faith in Amazon.com as my one stop shop for everything.
The thing that really sold me on Amazon.com is their customer service in dealing with returns. Quick and easy process gives the buyer a comfort level that isn't always found with online retailers.
I'll put my faith and business with Amazon.com even though I have to pay sales tax since they are in Washington :)"
"Lowest prices and fast shipping that is free. no complaints here."
"I've used Amazon.com about five times in the past year. I always find the best value and the product is shipped quick.
I have absolutely no problems with them and will continue to use them in the future."
"Amazon is a pretty decent place to purchase all kinds of stuff. I've mostly purchased PC components from them. They're shipping is a bit slow, but their prices are good which makes it worth the wait. Unfortunately I can't rely on them to always have what I need, as they're frequently out of stock on some items or have prices fluctuate a lot based on which of their 3rd party retailers have the item in stock or not. But despite the hit and miss, I purchase something from them at least monthly and always receive it in good (albeit it a little slow) condition."
"Great service and I can always count on them for fast delivery!"
"Fast Shipping and good customer support. I use Amazom frequently."
"Customer service is completely unparalleled. Overall a convenient online retailer with decent prices and a huge selection of merchandice. See below for more detail... these are just my little rants. I love Amazon and if I can get it from them I almost always do.
Other notes:
Shipping - shipping on small ticket items can be a little shady if you purchase through one of Amaon's partners instead of directly from Amazon. Example: Order a plain t-shirt for $10 and shipping is reasonable. Order 3 of the same shirt and shipping is slightly less but by no means combined. Kind of remind me of shopping on ebay... you see an item listed for a penny only to notice that the "shipping and handling" is $5,000,000. If you stick to items costing more that $25 then the shipping is just AWESOME, but then what is the point of Prime? I guess if you want all of your products within 48 hours then it has some value...
Customer Service - Best of the best. I had some MAJOR problems getting my $1500 flat screen shipped to my house. Two weeks turned into two and a half weeks which turned into 3 weeks. I even had to take time off from work to wait for the delivery truck after they switched the delivery date on me and it never showed up! Contacted customer service who got in touch with the shipping company who got in contact with me the following Monday. Don't ever get anything shipped by Home Direct.
Through all of that I am a satisfied and completely loyal Amazon customer for one reason... Amazon's customer service. I called them up and they actually cared about my problem. I can't remember the last time I recieved such friendly, personable, helpful service from someone on a phone hundreds of miles away. Heck, I can't even remember the last time I had that level of service from a real live human being standing right in front of me! If anything does go wrong Amazon will make it right. That's why they are one of only a handfull of online retailers I will usually buy from. They are right up there with NewEgg and Sierra Trading Post for customer service, and if you are familiar with either of those retailers you know that is saying a lot."
"Not the rock bottom cheapest....but the product came from Seneca River Trading 100% as represented and shipped quickly!"
"Amazon has amazing prices, free shipping on many items, and a very easy checkout system. All the reviews on their site make it a good way to pick a product as well.
Most importantly though, they have great customer service. If there is ever a problem, they fix it quickly. I have had to return items, and the customer service department was very easy to deal with.
I always have great experiences with them, and this one was no exception!"
"Amzon.com is my favorite store. It has the best price and customer service. And its shipment is fast for most of time. No big complain."
"Excellent experience. Just logged into an Amazon account, searched for the software item of interest, clicked-through the one-click checkout, downloaded the item, and installed it. Quick. Easy. Instant gratification. There was nothing confusing in any of the screens that made me pause for even a moment."
