04/01/2006 | Since I don't have time anymore to hang out in book stores, Amazon is the next best thing. Great selection of new and hard to find titles, prompt service and free shipping for a lot of items. Have never had any problems. Amazon has a good system and is a respected leader in internet shopping innovation.

10/29/2005 | Good place. Sends things quickly. Has separate sites for other countries so they don't have to pay international shipping. Has a large selection and refers you to other sellers. I've been ripped off by so many companies, and I tried to think of one that hadn't ripped me off, and I like besides, and here it is.

09/04/2005 | It has sort of revolutionized the way I shop. Before, I used to haunt out-of-the-way or obscure bookshops from Providence, Rhode Island, to NY, to the southernmost reaches of PA for that rare volume of literature. Now, all I have to do is go on-line, type in my password, hit enter, and the book, CD, or DVD is on its way. Sometimes I do miss the traveling I used to do and the combing through funky old bookshelves, but Amazon does save me gas money at the very least. The reader reviews can be enlightening or entertaining (I've written a couple myself) and the selection of items is pretty extensive. Some items are very overpriced, and there is occasionally a glitch in the service, but these are problems you can encounter anywhere.

08/25/2005 | Well I think that if you buy a product from Amazon.com and it actually being sold buy an independant shop or person, Make it more clear when ordering. I have been waiting for a strategy guide I have been waiting for 8 weeks and still nothing. No updates and Amazon doesn't show any order being placed. On my account.

03/14/2005 | A terrific place for finding more obscure or out of print books, and the reviews from readers are a terrific bonus. However, I find I still buy the majority of my books at physical stores. There's something about being in an actual bookstore, with the books and the atmosphere, that you just can't get online. Amazon is absoultely terrific if you're looking for something specific, but for general browsing, I'm not sure it's as useful.

09/13/2004 | I've had flawless delivery results in dozens of purchases, and they bring the rare and obscure book or CD to the masses even better than the large independent retailer, so they get a bum rap for their effect on the literary world. Thumbs up to Amazon.com.

07/12/2004 | The marketplace at Amazon makes more books and other media saleable thus available nationwide. That is really the essence of e-business.

04/23/2004 | Amazon does not/can not deliver/ship ordred items. Have ordered 7 - 10 items in the last 2 months that were all listed as normally ships in 24-hours. Still waiting on a couple! The Free Super Saver Shipping only makes things worse, you've waited 7 - 9 days before finding out Amazon.com has slipped the estimated ship dates - again. No clue what the deal is, but if you order tools or hardware from Amazon, you'd be better served to find a vendor who actually has the item in stock and can ship iot in a reasonable length of time (for reasonable shipping costs).

04/13/2004 | Excellent, but I do have one quibble. When searching in Books, it returns not just * real books* but audiobooks as well, cluttering up the results. List them separately please! People in search of real books usually don't want the ones on tape.

03/13/2004 | While working overseas for the US government (China and Germany) Amazon has been a lifeline and a lifesaver. My only complaint is that they make it too easy to spend money. I should have bought stock years ago!

01/24/2004 | I have used amazon for buying books before and I have never had a problem with it. I've recently ordered a book which I'll have to wait for because it hasn't quite been released yet - but its well worth it. (sorry RIA, but I have to spam this) The book is called 'Lucky' by Eddie De Oliveria, he's a very good friend of mine, it started out as a play which I went to go and see and now he has it out as a book. Please check it out!

09/15/2003 | This is always my first shopping stop and usually the last. Wicked web site. The one-click ordering feature is addictive.

01/27/2003 | The best online store ever! Good reasonable prices, excellent service, and an excellent selection of books, toys, dvds and videos, and other items. Plus, most of their items arrive quickly in only 2 or 3 days. I also love their gift certificates.

08/12/2002 | Another great bookstore! I found several out-of-print books on amazon and I have been hooked ever since. Amazon.com is right along side of Barnes and Noble as far as book selection goes. I use it a great deal.

04/07/2002 | Amazon is not the place for books. Good for electronics, music, toys, etc. Amazon always puts you on a waiting list for the books and they come in funky condition.

01/20/2002 | We order on the internet on occasion. And we have had good luck with Amazon.com so far. they have a very good variety and fair prices. One thing I liked is we can track the shipping route so we have a good idea when the package will arrive.So far we have ordered books and video games and have been satisfied with their service.

01/19/2002 | Cannot say enough good things about this site. So many things I want, so little money! You can check out your account and review what you've ordered in the past. They take personal checks. They notify you when your item has been shipped. They have good e-mail customer service. And there is so MUCH to choose from. You can order out-of-print books and they'll try to get them for you. A gift certificate for Amazon would be a great gift for almost anyone.

01/08/2002 | I love Amazon.com! They were my positive introduction to online shopping. My experience with them has been one of consistently great prices and quick, reliable service. For instance, I sometimes go to technology workshops where you usually get a list of new reference books. I was tempted to buy several from the list once following one of these workshops but suddenly had the bright idea to cross reference the price and availability on Amazon.com. In each case the book was at least 10 to 15% less than it was on my list. The list went in the trash and I went to Amazon.com.

06/28/2001 | The only experience I ever had with these people was a nightmare. I ordered books, phones, and some other items from them, put in my credit card information...and four days letter got a response saying that they could not process the transaction, and couldn't explain why. So I checked with my bank, no problems. I re-submitted the order...same things. It takes four days for them to figure out they can't run an order, and then they cannot tell you why? I buy stuff on the 'net all the time, and I have NEVER had a problem with ANY other vendor.
