I've been ordering items off Amazon for the past 6 years, and I have yet to have a bad experience with them (knock on wood). Eveything to college textbooks to TVs, it all been hassle-free. Granted there are times when items aren't shipped out as fast as Amazon says they will be, but if it's going to be late, Amazon has always sent me emails explaining it will be late.

The trick to making the smaller purchases worth it, like one reviewer stated, is to order $25 worth of stuff in a single order to qualify for the free shipping. You have to wait a few extra days most of the time, but if you can put up with the wait, it ends up being a good deal.

My one complaint (annoyance really) about Amazon are the fluctuating prices. I've seen item prices start at a specific amount drop by $50, then jump up by $75, only to drop by $60. All in a single week. My opinion: if you're considering purchasing something large at Amazon, watch the price for a few days before you buy it. Nothing is more annoying than a price dropping $50 a day after you buy the item.

Overall a great site to buy from!

The site is great!
It offers good items with great prices. And it provides a safe environment for customers if the products and orders are fulfilled by Amazon directly.
Sellers in general try to provide good customer satisfaction because otherwise they may get a bad rating.
In general it has been a good experience purchasing from amazon. And if there is a problem, chances are that you can get a refund.
One cool thing I like from amazon is that it offers product reviews and at the same time in some cases you can see what customers buy more often among related products of your interest. This helps to make knowledgeable decisions before buying.
Best regards! :)

This site is the best! I look here to figure out fair prices for my business, get ideas, and just browse. It is my "window shopping" while I recover from surgery. I love it! Amazon Prime is amazing and if you are a student (college?), you get a year's trial! I am using it to it's max. :) I love it and can't rave enough about them. They go above and beyond if you are willing to work with them. I have worked customer support and I can pull some strings if I wanted to, but being nice is all that's necessary and I love it. Amazon is top notch.

I love amazon. While all online stores are likely to have some customer service issues from time to time, I find amazon easy to deal with. You can find almost anything you want and with their marketplace you can often find things cheaper than in a regular store. I am a big music buyer (yes I still buy CDS, lol) and amazon is one of the reason many mom and pop shops are going out of business because I can find music I like for much cheaper and relatively quick to. Love amazon.

I usually don't order from other merchants that sell on amazon, it's just too much of a hassle (plus the shipping is more expensive). I order directly from amazon because I think it's safer and cheaper (I aim for the free shipping).

I've ordered from Amazon since 2006, and I usually order books for my classes. They ship pretty quickly. My shipments usually arrive about 3-4 days (at most a week) after I order. I always try to get their free shipping by ordering over $25, but right now I have the prime account (free for students) w/amazingly fast shipping.

My one complaint is that if you send a present & don't opt to have it wrapped, they put the note in the box with the present. I thought the note would be a sticker on the box, but it's not. By the way, their shipping is through Fedex.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied.
