Add me to the list of satisfied Amazon customers :mrgreen: I not only buy from them I also rely on their customer reviews of anything that I'm even thinking of buying. Last Christmas I ordered a camera for my son as a present. The box was sitting on my front step the next morning :shock: :shock: :shock:

I LOVE Amazon as well. I find the best prices for the Accuquilt Go dies there. I've never had a problem with customer service - whether I am buying from them or from one of the vendors selling their wares on their site. I buy a lot of used items.

I have ordered all kinds of things from Amazon and never had a problem :thumbup:

I've only ever bought craft books and though I have to pay postage because I am in Australia they are still way way cheaper than I can buy here - and that's even for a book written and published in Australia! I usually have to wait 2-3 weeks for delivery but its worth it for the savings. No problems so far.

I have ordered so much from them this past year. I love them and their service is great. They do have other sellers that advertise their items on their website. I pay attention to the customer comments in the seller sections. While Amazon is great, some of the other sellers, while good, are slow about returning emails. Some also take a while to get your stuff to you. So...that's why I read the seller feedback. By the way, I got an out-of-print Egyptian needlework book from one of their sellers that I wanted for years. That website has made me so happy. Also, you can get newly released books usually cheaper than I could get them through Sam's Club or Barnes and Noble. My copy of Tick Tcok was cheaper through Amazon than through Barnes and Noble. Two other things and then I'll stop typing. If you don't live in Kentucky and a few other states, which eludes me, you don't pay sales tax and with $25 eligilbe for free shipping, that's free on alot of their items too. Independent sellers on the amazon website will charge you shipping and handling so read all the descriptions carefully.

I've bought a lot of books and even a rebuild kit for my riding lawn mower and have never ever had any problems.

Amazon is a fantastic company. One time I received an order with the wrong book. It was my fault, somehow I clicked on the one I'd looked at previously. I was able to return it with free shipping & they sent the one I really wanted. Yep, it's been a good company for me.

We have been buying from Amazon for years. Now I get all my Kindle books from them. Never had a problem.

Hi I too order lots of stuff from Amazon and a lot of the items are free shipping. Even my husband will suggest that when I want something to check on Amazon and they usually have it at a better price than others too. I live in a rural area of Co. and housebound and I love the convenience.

only bought books but would recommend them from my experience.

Amazon has amazing customer service, they do offer an online marketplace for sellers as well though. So you want to make sure the item you are purchasing says "in stock and sold by Amazon" or "fulfilled by Amazon" if you don't want to deal with a smaller seller.

I shop at Amazon.com before I try anywhere else. I've bought many, many videos, dvd movies, cd's, books, small electrical appliances and dishes, pots and pans. Probably more stuff that I can't think of right now. I am telling you quite truthfully I have never had to send anything back, and delivery is usually very fast taking snowstorms into consideration, etc. I believe you can trust them. 8-)

My husband orders everything from them. He recently purchased a clock, which worked about one week - he changed the battery, which didn't help. The clock was defective - Amazon is shipping a new clock and had UPS pick up the defective clock - at no charge. He loves Amazon.com
