"We are Amazon Prime customers who order something about once a week.
All kinds of items. Light bulbs, concrete sealer, dishwasher detergent, etc.
All arrive as scheduled.
All arrive unbroken.
Prices are good, but the real reason I shop so much at Amazon is the SELECTION."
"A good buying experience at Lowe's.
Wanted a Bosch dishwasher.
Lowe's had the 3 models that all my online research had narrowed it down to.
Picked one.
The sales clerk was friendly (not knowledgeable) and the buying process was easy.
Price was the lowest that I could find."
"I knew that I wanted a Danze Parma kitchen faucet. I found DanzeFaucetWarehouse.com by searching on the web and I am very happy that I did.
1. Very good prices. I did compare with Sears Great Indoors (instant gratification as I could pick it up, maybe) and one other online site.
2. Easy to use website. Finding the items you want and ordering is very simple.
3. Excellent customer service. I was not sure about one item (the particular finish) and called customer service and Kevin was very helpful.
4. Great order experience. I ordered on Friday and they shipped it that day. I got two emails. One saying that they had received the order and one saying that it had shipped. I then got an email from UPS and it arrived just 5 days for $zero shipping cost."
"Excellent source of used books.
Sometimes the book just does not exist as new.
Then, I go to Alibris and find it.
Order it and receive it.
Alibris is a middleman so shipping problems are the fault of the individual bookstores. However, I have NEVER had a problem in the last 3 years."
"I really like and am pleased with Other World Computing (aka MacSales.com).
I was trying to determine which hard disk I should buy for my 12-inch PowerBook as I wanted a higher-capacity drive. I called OWC's Customer Service on a Sunday and spoke with a very helpful and knowledgeable person who told me that I should buy the 5400 rpm drive rather than the 7200 because it would be slightly quieter and cooler.
I thought OK, but I really has the hots for the faster drive. Then, I went to www.barefeats.com where I read a performance review that showed that you don't gain much from the faster rpm drive.
Placed my order with OWC. It was easy. Received confirmation and tracking info quickly. Drive arrived right on time.
I find the OWC site to full of good information about what works with what in the Mac world.
I purchased 2GB of RAM for my Power Mac about 6 months ago and it worked perfectly.
Give OWC a try. I think you will glad you did.

23NOV2007 (Friday) - Ordered a 750GB external drive. It arrived Monday (I paid $7.50 for faster shipping) afternoon. Works perfectly. And, it arrived 1 day early. I really like this store.
20AUG2010 - Another order for memory for an iMac. Placing the order was easy. It arrived as scheduled. It works perfectly.
20DEC2011 - Another order for iMac memory. All is well."

"LaCie is great!
I ordered an extra "brick" for my LaCie FireWire drive on Tuesday (24MAY2005) and had it on Friday. Three days and I paid for the cheapest slowest shipping.
Previously I have ordered two LaCie Porsche Design FireWire drives. Delivery was quick.
With one of them, I needed some technical help for setup. LaCie Tech SUpport was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly.
LaCie makes great products and is very easy to do business with."

"August 2010
Excellent service. Before and after the sale.
I have purchased 3 Macs from Small Dog in the last 2 years and am completely satisfied.
But, the true test of a company is when something goes wrong.
I ordered a brand new iMac and someone's fingers slipped and the wrong computer was shipped to me. The two machines were almost identical, but not quite. These things happen. I called my sales rep and he said: "My fault. We will overnight a new iMac to you." They did. It arrived 26 hours later. They also included a return label and UPS will pick up the wrong iMac this afternoon.
This is great customer service.
Novemer 2005.
Excellent.
I ordered two (2) AppleCare items and they arrived very quickly.
I then realized that I was an idiot as the time limit had expired on one of my iMac. Therefore, I had the pleasure of doing an RMA.
It was so easy. A phone call to a very helpful and friendly person.
No restocking charge for my stupidity.
Samll Dog is great!"
"I purchased a Samsing CLP-550N on Sunday and it arrived on Friday.
Easy to order.
Easy to track.
Excellent experience.
I have always had a good expereince with Buy.com even when I had to return a printer 3 years ago because it was damaged in shipping.
07JUL2004 update - This printer is great! Highly recommended."
"I love greenbaterries.com !
I have been purchasing from them for over 2 years.
Excellent prices.
Knowledgeable advice and service.
Easy return policies.
A small business that really cares about its customers.
I have made 6 purchases from them and will make more.
Highly recommended."
"I ordered a Kensington Pocket Mouse (Bluetooth) for our new Apple PowerBook. It was priced properly, arrived on time.
MWave is very good. They had this mouse and NewEgg did not.
I have purchased numerous items from MWave over the last few years and have always been pleased."

"A very unhappy experience with my second order from BuyDig.com.
On Sunday, 15DEC2002, I placed online orders with MWave, NewEgg, CoolrGuys, GreenBatteries and BuyDig. All sent me email confirmations about shipping by Monday afternoon, EXCEPT for BuyDig. On Wednesday, 18DEC2002, I called BuyDig's customer service number and got a recorded message that said: "our systems are down please call after 8PM". Well, their business hours end at 7PM. This seemed liked Catch-22 to me. On Thursday morning, I called and got the same message. Then I called Sales who transferred me to Customer Service so I could hear the message again. Finally, after 5 phone calls (and many more attempts because of busy signals), I spoke to a sales person who said: "Your order will not even be processed until December 27th as stated on our website". So, I cancelled the order.
Then I went to look at the website to see where it said "the 27th". Could not find any such statement.
I will NOT purchase from BuyDig again. I will recommend to all my friends that they NEVER buy from BuyDig. BuyDig's "after the sale" process is annoying and somewhat deceitful."

"I ordered a Maxtor hard drive on Saturday (26NOV2005). NewEgg sent me numerous emails starting on that day. I tracked my order with UPS and it arrived exactly as scheduled on Thursday.
Installed the drive in my PowerMac and am formatting the drive as I write this.
NewEgg has excellent prices ($119.98 for (nominal) 300GB SATA drive) and fast delivery (4 days for $3.50).
