You can almost order anything now on Amazon, everything I have ordered was acceptable, in some cases I made it acceptable cause if you open it, it is yours unless it is returned in the original packaging... My only other hangup is with the shipping and the push to go with Prime on every order form that you go through.
To their credit, the delivery is always really fast and you can have your own wish list and add and subtract to it which is always a good thing for me so I don't order 3 copies of the same book this month...

All in all, the shipping price is what holds me back the most. But its not a bad site at all...

I love Amazon. I think it's better than eBay most of the time. With Amazon I can get all kinds of great CDs, DVDs and video games for really low prices. What I like better about this than eBay, is with eBay you have to compete for everything and the infamous eBay Snipers almost always win. Plus eBay sellers are allowed to add little stipulations to auctions that contractually force the would-be-buyer to agree to in order to make a purchase. With Amazon, none of that is a problem because they don't let it work that way. The ONLY things I have to say negative about Amazon is that the sellers can't combine shipping prices which means if you buy 2 or more CDs from a seller, and they only have to spend $3 to ship them, you still have to pay $2.98 for shipping, for each CD. So the shipping on Amazon can you from a cart sub-total value of $5 and you end up with a $30 total. I also with sellers had to leave feedback for buyers as well. But with the way Amazon buying works it really doesn't matter. That's my ONLY gripe with Amazon. Other than that 1 thing they kill eBay in every single category you can think of. I talk to Amazon reps via-chat anytime I need an answer. Good luck contacting eBay reps!

Amazon I give 4 / 5 only because the shipping will bite you in the butt!

Dont buy from Amazon seller Stores123.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my fiance who likes modern furniture. I received the item and upon unpacking it, it seemed as though it had already been unpacked. The box was tattered and the packing tape had been retaped. Once I opened the product, I inspected it and found the underside fabric was torn where there was a piece of the wood frame supporting the center. It was not a large tear but it was a tear never-the-less. I decided that it was likely a used product sent by mistake so I repacked it immediately. Given that Christmas was a few days away, I went to a local furniture shop and found something similar to buy in time for Christmas.

I bought the product because it was on Amazon so I felt comfortable. I do understand Amazon uses 3rd party sellers and the return policy for this seller seemed straight-forward: if the product is damaged, they buyer can return it for a full refund. The seller has been trying to get the 15% restocking fee from the beginning of my communication with them. I dont think I should have to pay $100+ to them because they sent me a used product by mistake. They are claiming that there is no tear on the bottom fabric but that is absolutely not true and I am surprised they would blatantly lie like that. They have even sent me photos they took upon return of the product and the tear is shown (again, it is not big, but it is there and it is something I would consider as damage and would buy off a classified bulletin board).

At this point, I have requested them to refund me 100% of what I paid and I have disputed the charge through my credit card issuing bank. Stores123 have not replied to me with any message indicating they will provide me a 100% refund. They have offered to send me the product back (which I clearly do not want) or to pay a 15% restocking fee. I really feel extorted here as they are in clear violation of their return policy.

I have been buying from Amazon for years now and never had a bad experience as long as my merchandise was sold and shipped by Amazon and not one of their sellers. Not to say the sellers are all bad but Autopro jacked me for a Linkin Park Cd I ordered. He claimed it was autographed by Chester Bennington and it was supposed to be a collector's item. He also claimed to have one left. The day after I ordered this CD Autopro listed this same CD (Not yet released by the band) as having 4 in stock and the price went up. They were no longer collectors items and none were autographed. I never did get the cd but Amazon was very good about returning my money. I can't say that about paypal.
