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

Disadvantages: no international shipping,lacks paypal

Amazon is one of those enterprises that have truely manifested the revolution of the online shopping saga in the era of the internet.I am saying this from experiences of near and dear ones and not of that of my own. The possible reason and the only downfall i believe of the big enterprise called Amazon is their inability to ship products internationally and hence it is only based and for the US residents.Myself belonging to a foreign country have ...

Amazon is a site that has both its ups and downs. While it has a wide array of products that makes it very convient to shop at home the prices are horrible. Every once in a blue moon you will find a good deal but dont hold your breath. I just bought an Easy Bake Oven for my daughter and the price after shipping is double what I would have spent in my local Walmart. The shipping is very fast and they do have good customer service if you have any problems. ... Read review

Disadvantages: none

I love amazon.com. I haven't had one bad experience with them. Normally I think of them as just selling books, dvd's, cd's.... basically media items. But they have sooo much more. They have anything and everything. My favorite part about Amazon is that they do the comparison shopping FOR you. They list competitors prices so if you like the ratings of the competitor and the price you don't need to use Amazon, but you work with amazon to order from ... Read review

Advantages: good pricing
Disadvantages: Customer Service (almost non-existent), S&H too high

As we all know, Amazon is probably the most successful dot com that has survived through good times & bad. I am a (many) repeat customer since the very beginning when they sent their things out in recycled boxes. (over 10 years) They have almost always done a good job. My criticism is that their Customer Service is lacking-they outsource to non-helpful people overseas (India). It took me over a week to use a Borders gift certificate: that was ... Read review

Advantages: Various pricing options available.

Amazon.com is by far one of the greatest sites available for purchasing items as well as doing research before you decide to purchase an item. You can find almost any product you can think of on the site. A great feature is that when available you are able to purchase the item brand new or you are able to purchase the item used when they have it available. I love how it shows you your total savings in both dollar amount and in percentage. Another ... Read review
