Amazon.com

Advantages: Great selection and pleasant service, considering...
Disadvantages: Pretty much S.O.L. if there's something you need fixed right away.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like Amazon, I really do. They're generally cheap, fast, have decent service and have a selection that boggles the mind. That being said, it's frustrating to support an organization that has gotten Soooooo Big that you get a little lost in the shuffle. Case in point, two months ago I was shopping around for a pair of nice earbud headphones. I saw them on a couple of sites but ultimately went with Amazon because it was, ... Read review

Advantages: Very usable site, look inside on books, reviews, selection, prices, delivery times
Disadvantages: Shipping not so cheap

...online purchases have been from Amazon.com and I have always been satisfied as a customer. I order books mostly, but have also ordered larger items like LCD tvs, a Dyson Vacuum cleaner, music (yes actual CDs), software and various electrical items. I'm not much of an Ebay fan so if you're hunting for bargains then maybe that should be your first port of call and I guess shipping could be cheaper but on the whole that doesn't bother me too much. Here ... Read review

Advantages: Online store carries just about everything.
Disadvantages: Sometimes, hard to find things...a small price to pay.

Amazon carries soda can covers.. So, why is that so important? Well, it was to me. It keeps unfinished soda from losing too much of it's carbonation. It's convenient, when you want to take a drink outside. Hey-why am I telling you this? The review is about Amazon-The world's greatest bookstore! Maybe to illustrate-that it's so much more. If I never found out any of Amazon's other features, I'm sure I'd still be crazy about the place. I ... Read review

Advantages: good price, easy site,
Disadvantages: delivery price is a little high

Amazon is one of the most popular online shopper there is. I've been using it for quite a while - and I haven't been disapointed even once. Web Design - Classy, Sophisticated, no-nonsense, and down to earth look. A white background, nothing flashy that lags the computer, no pop-ups, no sounds. On the side, there are tabs for the selected category and a small box will pop up to tell you that category in more details. In my opinion that's very good ... Read review

Advantages: Great prices/sales and offers lots of reviews!
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

My favorite online site next to yahoo.com email is Amazon.com! I LOVE Amazon and have found myself purchasing more from there over local stores. If you asked me a few years ago if I would do my majority of shopping over the internet that answer would have been no way. But now, it's all I mostly buy from is Amazon.com! It has just about everything you need and with reviews! So you know you are getting a good product b/c you can basically see what the ... Read review

Advantages: Low prices, fast shipping, variety
Disadvantages: None

I always check Amazon first when I shop online, being a huge store, their buying power ensures lower prices than other smaller shops. A lot of vendors also sell via their platform, so it's like shopping at a portal and instead of checking out at 5 different sites, you do it all right on one site. So far, I've had good experiences ordering vitamins, books, toys, health care products, and housewares. The vitamins and toys came from outside vendors but ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to navigate site, lots of product information, competitive prices
Disadvantages: Free shipping can be slow, customer service is by email only

Amazon has the best product selection of any website that I know - they're not just books. Their prices are very competitive, not only on books and DVD's, but also kitchen appliances and small electronics. Shipping is free if you spend $25, which is pretty easy to do. They also have a robust online community and is good place to get reviews on all sorts of products, even if you don't purchase it from Amazon. Wish lists make it easy to let people know ...

Advantages: Some stores in one place, great prices, and free shipping
Disadvantages: I think don't have

I like Amazon.com!!!. You can browse and find all things you want it. I use it because I received an Amazon Gift Card and I can search somethings there. I have bought chocolates, DVDs, toys, etc. Just select the department you want and look around the varieties of products they have. Amazon.com is a mall with some stores that you know. The better!, I like free shipping and they have a lot of things with free shipping!!. What do you do at Amazon.com? - ... Read review

Advantages: Vast Selection of Products, Good Customer Service
Disadvantages: Site Navigation

I use Amazon.com for many of my purchases online. I buy most of my stuff online because it is so convenient and Amazon has a great return policy if you are not happy with your product. Most times you can find the product that you are looking for on the Amazon website for much less than you would pay for it at another retailer. Amazon has a vast selection of just about anything that you would be shopping for. They also give you the opportunity to buy ... Read review

Advantages: Good prices with many options from multiple sellers.
Disadvantages: Free shipping option is usually pretty slow, but heck it's free.

I have been purchasing from Amazon for several years, and continue to do so regularly for anything from books and electronics, to food products. They have been accurate in their shipments and processing. They are a great site for researching an item before purchasing, often having good product descriptions, customer reviews and book previews. When I was new to the site the shipping costs seemed confusing when items came from multiple merchants. One ... Read review

Advantages: one stop shopping , low prices, free shipping deals
Disadvantages: not all items can be shipped abroad, and not all marketplace sellers ship abroad anyway

Being an expat has its upside and its downside. Upside is I get to experience a different culture and visit interesting places many friends and family have never seen. Being in the UK, I also sooner or later get the latest hit TV shows from the States, and the books. BUT (and there is always a but), not everything that I would like to watch or read, or have my children read, are available here easily, and then there is the thorny issue of buying birthday ...

Advantages: good prices, ship fast, easy to do returns
Disadvantages: none

My husband and I buy from Amazon all the time (at least once a month). It's great. Every time we are needing to purchase something Amazon carries, we can do mountains of research on the best prices on the item and it never fells, Amazon has the best price. They are safe and reliable and definitely not a fly by night company. I've also had to return an item to them before and found it to be an easy and pleasant experience. They have a huge selection ...
