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.

I have no service quibbles about Amazon.com whatsoever. Their website search tools are easy to navigate, their selection of endless rare and recent DVD's, CD's, books etc is pretty much outstanding and almost credible when I compare it to other major shopping sites. I've been very fortunate not to have any major outstanding problems and only my fair share by not recieving an item thats been lost in the post only for it to be swiftly replaced for free or having a problem with someone at marketplace whose tried to rip me off and amazon have been nothing but curteous and quick to rectify this problem by actually crediting my account and giving me my money back. I'm been an avid spender at amazon for two years and I have nothing but praise for their outstanding products and customer services.

THE BEST shopping website. I can go on and on and on about how GREAt amazon is. CHEAP stuff because you can get stuff used i have gotten stuff for 2 dollars and that included s&H i love amazon. I wish i had a credit card to buy things from their! I have to wait to get gift cert's from their to pay for stuff. www.amazon.com

I placed an order for a blue topaz pendant with Amazon.com's 3rd party merchant service on March 3rd, 2004. The charge posted to my account on the 4th. The Amazon.com website indicates that my order has shipped, and that I would receive it March 10th through March 16th. The 3rd party merchant is PalmBeachJewelry.com . Today March 16th, I had not received my order yet, and had not heard from anyone regarding my order status, so I contacted Palm Beach Jewelry (Cynthia in customer service) to get a status (it is required by Amazon to contact the merchant direct). They informed me that the item had not shipped yet, that it backordered on the 3rd, and I should not expect it to ship until the 23rd of March. I requested to cancel this order from them, and they (Palm Beach Jewelry), indicated that they could not cancel my order, because it had been billed through Amazon.com, and that I needed to cancel it through Amazon.com. I then contacted an Amazon.com rep, and explained to them exactly what I was told by Palm Beach Jewelry. The Amazon.com rep asked me if I wished her to contact Palm Beach on my behalf, and I requested that she do so. When she returned back on the line with me, she told me that she had spoken with Cynthia from Palm Beach jewelry, the woman I spoke with, and Cynthia told her that she told me, that they were trying to resolve the matter for me through their central office. When I told this rep, that Cynthia did not tell me this, that they insisted that I have to deal with it with Amazon.com, the Customer service rep told me she doubted this, and then she hung up on me. I contacted Cynthia with Palm beach jewelry again, who told me she would fax a copy of my cancellation request to their front office. I am currently waiting on a resolution to the issue. It seems to me, that neither Amazon nor their 3rd party wish to resolve a cancellation request once an order has been placed. There have been a number of customer service miscues here, and this issue still has not been resolved for me.

I'd give 'em three-and-a-half. They usually have what I want--not always, but usually--and they have been prompt and accurate for me. That said, their search feature is a DISASTER. Navigate to something you exactly want, and then try to nail the same item using search--I have not been able to do this, since the damn search engine brings you TOP SELLERS which approximate your search criteria, rather than exact matches. I was appalled to discover this. Maybe by the time I write this it will have changed, but don't count on it. Still, I have to buy from them because we don't have a decent non-pop record store in my town.

Highly reliable. Exhaustive inventory of books and a lot of other stuff. Free shipping if you spend (a mere) $25. Prices normally very good, sometimes ridiculously low. Offering to sell new and used good though an outside dealer was a stroke of genius. If I could take 1/4 point off I would do it because their search too isn't very selective enough, you might find anything close to what you searched for, and sometimes it isn't even close. But it's a relatively small price to pay for an outstanding place to shop.

I have shopped countless times on Amazon.com and absolutely LOVED this site. What’s even better is they not only have what you are looking for at a great price, but they ship fast too!

i've ordered some flicks from there so yea they're great

I have always had great success with this website. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Amazon is where I can find any book I want at the lowest price possible. They have price ranges from the highest price in stock to the lowest. You can choose the one that suits your budget. Recently, I founnd the perfect book to give as a gift at a store. The price was $36.00, since I didn't have the money on me, I was prepared to go back in a week or so. But then I checked Amazon - once again they impressed me. The same exact book, brand new $24.00! It was shipped out the next day and arrived in perfect condition.

I've had great luck with Amazon. Some have complained about shipping times, but I have had no problems. Maybe I'm more patient, haha. Their selection is outstanding and Amazon carries most of the hard-to-find items I'm looking for.

AWESOME shopping site. Only a handful of items I haven't been able to find through Amazon...

Don't bother pre-ordering items. I pre-ordered an item that was released on 4/15 and still have not received it as of 4/22 even though the shipping I chose was supposed to get it to me by 4/21. I do a lot of shipping with USPS and have sent packages coast to coast first-class faster than this item has taken to get from Delaware to Mass. I don't remember checking "carrier pigeon" on the shipping option... If there is an item (i.e. DVD, CD etc...) that you have been waiting for to be released, get it at Best Buy or one of those stores the day it is released; it'll be a classic by the time it arrives from Amazon. I give 3 stars instead of 2 based solely on their selection.

Amazon is great. have a wide variety of stuff and ships stuff fast

Amazon is the best! I ordered three items, they arrived two days earlier than expected. Thank you, Amazon!

Incredible selection but you can find better deals elsewhere if you are willing to search for them. My first two orders arrived reasonably fast, but I've placed a recent order and even though they said it would be shipped within 48 hours, here it is two weeks later and I still haven't gotten it. I checked the website, and according to my account information, it still hasn't even been shipped. I'm beginning to lose confidence in them.

I have ordered several books, videotapes, dvds, and toys from Amazon.com and I am impressed with their services. The items usually arrive as quick as they could, their offers are great, and they have an excellent selection. Good low prices also!

Amazon is the best shopping site I have found. The review feature is excellent. They often have shipping specials that are convenient...and their rebates on certain electronic items are great. I like being able to see my account and track shipping information, rate products, etc.

Spend over 9 months trying to collect from them as a seller, great for the customer lowsy for the sellers. Just constant empty promises that they will transfer funds within 5 days and 9 months later no transfer.

My family and my parent's job constantly order videos and books! We(they) are always very pleased with what they get. My Parent's work had bought over 20 videos and save over 100.00 in shipping! There products NEVER came damaged! Use amazon its like the best!

So far we have been very pleased with the service we get with Amazon.com. We have ordered,books, and computer games so far. They are effecient in sending them out. They even have a tracking number where you can see where the package is at. we especially like the tracking number since we can see what day the package will be coming. I would reccomend this service to someone.

Amazon has a selection like no other, but when it comes to shipping my order on time... well... that's another story.

Love this site. There's always so much to choose from, something for everyone. They have good service and reply to e-mailed questions in a timely manner. I also appreciate that it's so easy to access your account details. It's fun and easy to shop here.

Every time I have used Amazon.com, I have gotten fast delivery (two to three days) and the ordering process is fairly simple. They also have a wide variety of items to pick from. Anyways, it's an all-around good store with nice service.

Amazon is a nice little community. I enjoy looking around, and putting reviews on movies and music. I enjoy shopping there, even though the guy totally ripped me off, and the tape came broke and I wanted to sue him for every penny he's worth, it's still a good site.

Has made my life easier!!

Amazon was my introduction to e-shopping three years ago and I have absolutely no complaints about them. They continually update and increase their services and offer great customer support. Their website is well designed and shopping instructions are very easy to follow. They also keep you constantly updated via email as to the progress of your order. It sure beats a mall sales clerk with an I-don't-know-I-don't-care-and-I'm-too-good-to-be-working-here-anyway attitude.

Quick and easy and so far no mistakes. I really only use it for things I can't find locally and would have to wait for on order anyway. Otherwise I try and buy from the shops partially to feel like I'm supporting the little guys and partially, okay mostly, because I'm an instant gratification kind of guy. For the stuff I can't get downtown though Amazon always comes through... That was then..this is now 01/21/01... I've been using Amazon a lot more recently and I'm now even more pleased than I was in the past. Here's the thing, at the time of that last message I really had only used it a couple of times and essentially just for books, well all of that has changed. Since then I've received a compound mitre saw through them, a toaster, an electric shaver and a blender. I have to admit that even though I knew Amazon has been steadily expanding the number and types of things they offer, I had no idea that you could even buy things like power tools and kitchen appliances through them. This truly is a great site and often for really big things (like a power saw) the shipping is free which does away with the arguement that even if you saved money by buying it on line, you were going to end up paying the same if not more than you would in a store because of the shipping costs. Furthermore, the reviews are helpful in helping to decided what to purchase and after searching through many different sites I found that by far most of the time Amazon had the best prices, by far. Barring some huge screw up, I plan to be a long time customer.

Easy to navigate through and good products. I like the content of the web pages and the security of purchasing from them.

Amazon.com carries pretty much any book, cd, electronic, DVD, VHS. They explain the shopping process step by step making shopping easy for the buyer. Delivery is prompt and returns are easy.

This web site has it all for those that are lazy and love to shop the web. Looking for that hard to find CD, definitely go here cause they carry most obscure albums at 20% off. Fast and friendly, Amazon.com also carries textbooks for those students who refuse to give their money to the man! Rock on Amazon!

I only gave Amazon.com a 3. Maybe it should be more like a 2.5. I've had trouble logging onto the site and then placing the order with my credit card. I had ordered maybe 2x before they made any real mistakes. The 3rd time around not only did my mother's b-day present arive late but they sent her trashy porn erotica-definitely not what I ordered! They sent a $20 certificate for the trouble but $20 wasn't worth the embarassment.

I've really only used this website to purchase books and really haven't had the opportunity to use the other features. Delivery time is very quick and the selection of books is outstanding. I've never not found a book I was looking for. The prices are almost always lower than neighborhood bookstores.

Get just about anything there, and it's very helpful to have so many customer reviews and such so you know what you could get. Top service- probably the best place to shop online, especially for me because I buy mostly music, but you could get most anything else there...

Amazon is the top Internet retailer for a simple reason: they make it extremely easy to shop. These days they sell just about everything, they have helpful customer reviews, their prices are competitive, they have great customer service, and their "1-click" shopping is about as easy as it gets. I push one button, and a few hours later the book or CD I want is on its way to me. I've been shopping at Amazon since 1996, and I've never had a bad experience with them. One other thing impresses me, too: Amazon is very good about not bombarding its customers with unwanted e-mails. Every now and then I'll get a notice from them along the lines of "You've bought CDs by X in the past, so we thought you'd like to know that they released a new CD." And for an unsolicited e-mail, that's actually pretty helpful. UPDATE: I did a lot of my Christmas shopping on Amazon this year, and one of the packages they sent me hadn't arrived after 10 days. So I sent them an e-mail explaining the situation, and within 24 hours they responded, saying that they would re-send the order (2 CDs and 2 books), no questions asked. I'm really impressed with that level of customer service, and I find myself becoming increasingly loyal to Amazon.

This website is absolutely amazing. You can go on and find any possible book you could ever think of. I've ordered from Amazon.com and it is great. It gets to your door within a few days (for me it was only 3 days after I ordered). And not only does Amazon.com have every single book under the sun, but they also have tons of other great things, like toys and games, etc. An awesome site, and the owner guy who started Amazon.com is a great, funny guy which makes it that much cooler!

Very useful in finding what I am looking for. It's a great way to find books so you don't have to go out and look for it in a local library or store.

Good website that has a lot of selection, sometimes too much. I love the service you receive. They always have great ideas for further reading.

Awarded the best website for shopping in 1999. Very helpful and concerned. Anyone can find books, paper, movies, clothes, computer items, games etc. It ends up being not credit card protected.

So easy it is sinful! This "one-click" shopping tool could get me in a lot of trouble! Simply click a button, and it is done,the order is placed, they have your info. and I received the book within 3 days. Everything that I have bought has been AT LEAST half of what I would have paid elsewhere (and that includes shipping). Thanks to their email notifications and easy access to order status, there is never a worry of where your order is or if you will receive it. EXCELLENT, and I will continue shopping at Amazon! ONE more thing to add: I did not ask for email notifications..but that is an excellent feature..and I had previously ordered the Harry Potter books through Amazon, and just got an email from them telling me the new addition to the series is coming out..and I can order it now at a 40% Discount. Sure, they just want my money, but you (almost) get that small town bookstore feel of the shop owner letting you know when one of your favorite authors has just released a new book. Great Service! I did some of my Christmas shopping there this year and am pleased with the quality, price and shipping.

They books they have are the new and latest. Sometimes the price is cheaper than Barnes and Noble. The refund process is quick. Sometimes they don't show the cover of the book on the website when I search. It confuses me because I don't know if the search results match what I want.

Amazon is a good shopping website, but not a very good auction site. For that reason I give it a three. I use this site once and awhile when I am looking for rare items. There are times when they have it for store cost.

This website has a very big variety. I enjoy looking at their items. Great gifts and they aren't very expensive either.

Too much "noise". Lousy that they keep remainder if people don't use all of a gift certificate.

Good site. Books on almost everything. Delivery reliable and products good.

I've always been pleased with the service I've gotten at Amazon.com, and what happened yesterday reinforced my positive feelings towards the company. One of the books in my shipment (a gift for someone) arrived dented in several places, making it look pretty crummy. I called the 800 number to explain the problem and got through immediately to a pleasant clerk who took care of everything on the spot. She apologized and said that she'd send me a replacement copy right away (without requiring me to send the damaged copy back first). Even though I told her I didn't require two-day mail, she insisted on sending the book that way. After our conversation, I received an e-mail apologizing again for the problem and confirming the shipment of the replacement book. Now that's what I call service!

Nothing but great experiences with e-Campus. Low prices, free delivery and t-shirts!

Amazon is the best shopping place for movies and books. I love it. I feel like it is personalized. It recommends what books and movies I might be interested in. It is fast and so easy. They make it so easy it is scary. In my past on purchasing online, Amazon is the most efficient by far. It is a great place to buy birthday gifts for the whole family.

Fantastic site, so simple and a great selection. Easy to pay for and shipped out right away. I've always been very satisfied using Amazon and will continue to use them assuming they stay in business.

Amazon has all the books one is looking for. ALthough sometimes it might be a little bit more expensive, but it has great service.
