I have bought many books here. Just want to say, well done!!!

Haven't bought anything so far, but heared it many many times.\

I have used amazon.com for may years and I have always got great service, great products and super fast shipping. Say no more.... but they are one of the best e-commerce retailers on the web!

Amazon is very reliable. I use ebay for things like books or small things, but I use amazon for things like new video games or used games and game consoles. I don't trust ebay with the expensive stuff >.< I use amazon often and love to take advantage of the free or discounted shipping!

Okay I use the british one, but it's more or less the same. Their API and other services are great, and they're also really useful for finding hard to get books

I'm a 'prime' member so I take advantage of their free shipping (or quicker shipping for an additional fee).
But be careful to see that an item IS included for Prime members. One time I ordered something but the shipping was more than the item! The 'not for Prime' info was in the lightest of prints and about a .6 font!

I use Amazon weekly (nearly daily) and particularly enjoy its wide variety of items and its free shipping. It is also a great comparison site if buying any items at brick and mortar or other sites. I particularly love prime. Although it does add cost to the price of buying from Amazon, the free two day shipping and no minimum means that I no longer have to accumulate a $25 minimum order. Now I can just hit the One Click button and be done. Also, there service is spot on. I get all my deliveries on the date they are scheduled and packaging is superb. I have bought 200# TV sets from them and 2 ounce earbuds. One of my most used sites. No taxes, no shipping, arrives at my home two days after order. What is not to like?

Havn't done me wrong yet

I sometimes buy & sell on Amazon. I find the site very easy to use both as a buyer and a seller. I often purchase books for my children and the shipping is quick but I did find checkout could be less confusing. 

I love Amazon.  There customer service is great.  Only complaints I have is that it is hard to find the customer service number on line.  I did have one incident where a customer service rep did not fix a problem I had but made it worse my having a replacement producted delivered to the wrong address but the next agent fixed the problem.

I prefer it over ebay.  You can find anything on amazon,  and shipping is pretty quick.  I have used it several times.

I used Amazon several years ago when it has its auction site going. I now mostly use Half.Com for purchases of books.

They make me money..

I looooove amazon. One stop shopping for most everything, free shipping, low prices. My only complaint is that they used to be easier to sell stuff through in the zshops, but I guess because of fraud they locked down some categories. Now they're basically punishing everyone for the problems of few.

never have shopped there.

Some things are good prices, but others are too expensive.

Great shopping site! They can't beat this! How I loved this site! I have no problem with Amazon! Excellent service!

ok, check it out once in a great while

You can guarantee on buying something unlike ebay.

Don't shop much but its' good.

hmmm

always down with the spreading of intellectual material (eg, books)

It takes too long to get here and you end up paying more for the product because of the shipping charges.

dont go on it

it is a good site, but it has way to many adds all over the internet.

Dont use shopping sites

I mean you can get everything there.....

I try to avoid buying things online if I can help it, but Amazon.com is decent, and if I need something like an old out of print textbook, Amazon is usually the place I go.

The site is very user-friendly and has an BIG selection of items - it's not like browsing one company's web site and not being able to find a certain item. Amazon pretty much has anything you're looking for and it's very convenient for online shoppers.

good website & great selection. shipping prices are ridiculous tho

By accident I purchased a software item for download that was Windows-only. Amazon doesn't offer downloadable software for the Mac yet. Even though they say that their downloaded items are nonrefundable, I called and they gave me a refund within seconds. Thanks, Amazon!

I've ordered books, music, electronics and more from Amazon.com and have been satisfied with the transaction every time.  I like to shop the Amazon site due to the huge amount of products available.   I also like the site navigation, it is easy to find what you are looking for.  The check-out process has always been simple and has gone smoothly for me everytime.

The one tiny complaint I have is concerning a GPS navigation system I ordered as a gift for hubby this past Christmas.  I choose the free SuperSaver shipping and while I wasn't expecting to receive the item fast it took much longer than expected.   It was approximately 7 days before they even processed my order and sent a shipment notification email.   I think this package could have arrived faster if sent on the back of a pack mule.  All together 14-15 days elapsed between when I paid and when I received my order.

When I opened the package the box with the GPS unit inside and the leather case I purchased to go along with it were just banging around inside with no packing materials or bubble wrap or anything.  I was pretty worried that something might have jarred loose inside the GPS unit but everything turned out to be okay.

Luckily, all of this worked out okay.  It was just a little stressful for awhile worrying if the items were going to arrive in time and if the GPS unit had been damaged in shipping.  Overall I am still very happy with this transaction though.  The GPS unit was about $100 less from Amazon than most other stores and the shipping was free so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Amazon's third party seller policies leave much to be desired. If the third party seller is not able to fulfill the order, Amazon does not have the capability of helping by canceling the order or contacting the seller. Additionally, their feedback policies do not allow for negative feedback to be left for the seller when an order is not fulfilled.

In summary, I will no longer use them when I need an item in a timely manner.

Amazon was not good to me. They offered me a refund after I reported them to the Better Business Bureau since their payment page is so badly worded about paying through a bank account that it all flopped. Then it took 3 more complaints with the Better Business Bureau to get them to finally send the refund back they promised. Before I contacted the BBB, I called Amazon several times, and the workers there obviously didn't care about my problem and were totally inefficient and lacking the knowledge to solve the problems, which was later acknowledged by Amazon to me after the BBB got involved. Amazon is very inefficient, I hope they get better and don't let their inefficiency continue to zealously send Collectors after people without warning.

Have never had a problem with them, great inventory, great delivery. Lots of good features like things that suggest items to you based on what you've already bought from them.

Over the past five yrs, Amazon's been my primary source for CDs, books and DVDs. While well over half the merchandise I've purchased has been used, I've never had a problem with the the condition or receiving an order on time. Also like ria itself, I've found Amazon's customers reviews to be quite helpful and even interesting, particularly when I'm unfamiliar with an artist or writer's work. Great site.

Great selection and prices, and very fast shipping. If they don't have it, you probably can't get it.

Their site is incredibly extensive and well-organized, and their selection is second to none. The only real problem I have is that some of the people who sell stuff on there are unreliable. I remember one time I ordered this book from this dude and never got it. I also never got a refund either. Other than that the site is great.

I think it is an excellent resource and represents the best of the web today. I've purchased books, dvds, computers, grooming products off the site and have always had a good experience, even with their 3rd party vendors

Love Amazon.com. Huge selection, and always less than other sites. Only real complaint is the inability to see an independent seller's total S&H costs prior to getting through the whole check-out procedure. Just made a purchase on an item that cost $26 + $12 to ship (and it weighed less than 8 oz.!) Seems many private vendors are following the "E-bay Loophole" of jacking up S&H to get around paying site-commissions. If Amazon.com provided seller's S&H info before getting through most of the purchasing process, it'd save users a lot of time and frustration.

Overall very good. And the Prime program is excellent. But they lack in customer service when unusual, but easy, requests are made. For example, they cannot shift a ship date by a couple of days to avoid delivery when the recipient is out of town. Their solution is to cancel the order and place it again, which would still not guarantee an acceptable delivery date. (Note this relates to pre-orders and to orders which are still in the first stage of acceptance.)

I don't know about these guys anymore, they seem to be to big for their own good. Last Christmas I ordered stuff to send to my family (3 weeks early) and it was all received by my family sometime in January. When I try to figure out how to get ahold of them, it's not easy to find a number on the site. Then instead of any sort of apology all I get is it was overlooked that was when I swore it was the last time I'd be dealing with these people.The website is generally good for information but I don't buy from them anymore.

Excellent website to shop at, but don't believe the book reviews. They have deleted 2 of my negative reviews. What a shifty practice. That alone would stop me from buying there if I had to. Amazon is in collusion with its book suppliers to rig reviews.

Usually, Amazon.com is a great site for both browsing and buying. The only thing to watch out for is free SuperSaver shipping...it's easy to assume, Well, they just use the slowest shipping method and I'll definitely have it within two weeks. I suspect they also de-prioritize fulfillment of your order (the step before shipping) and this is what can get you, possibly leading to delays of several weeks or more on a popular item. HINT: If you're having problems with any Amazon.com order, use Google to find their top-secret 800 number.

I enjoy shopping there. The service is great and the packages come on time. ... Problem is that I ordered a DVD on December 6. I used money order. I haven't gotten an announcement when my shipment is coming. UPS still hasn't delivered my package. What happened?

Amazon.com is a great, user friendly site. they're really going to start booming now that they've teamed up with that new site www.spotya.com that has that new payment method. I look forard to seeing how that developes in the future

Wide variety of items, usually with a detailed description of the product itself. I've very rarely had a shipping problem with them because of its reliablility. Bottom line- the site is very user friendly, quick and easy!

I only purchase from this site and so far, it's been great. Shipping is quick, they have a great variety of items to choose from, and the prices are great since it chooses for you the merchants.

Amazon.com has always been very reliable and prompt with it's delivery's. There are a wide variety of products to purchase from, and best of all, their discounts really save you a lot of money.

What can I say about Amazon that hasn't already been said, it's a brilliantly and smoothly run site brimming with information about literally any product on that market. Not only do I use Amazon to buy things, but I often look up reviews on products, whether it's books, cds, or a toaster, and it's unbelievably helpful. Amazon is the reigning King (or Queen?) of shopping sites, and rightly so.
