Not bad
October 11, 2017

I am using their services quite long. I really like service but not a big fan of their delivery. Probably that's the part which must be improved.

On line marketting
October 11, 2017

Indeed a good online reliable marketing site. Prompt in response and after sales service. Display of products, specification, details are impressive. Help customer in selection and ordering products. Keep track of your liking and projection of new products as soon as possible.

Today, many companies are going virtual to keep up with the times. It improves speed and accessibility for all consumers. Although there are many different companies, Amazon takes the cake. Amazon is the best online retailer because of the simplicity to use their website, the speed of their deliveries, and most of all their affordability. To get started with Amazon, all you need is an email and a PayPal, credit, or debit card to make a purchase. They walk you through the entire process making sure you know exactly what you are doing. To shop, all you do is click on what you want and put it in the shopping cart. Once you are finished, you go to your cart and check out. They have standard shipping for most items but if you sign up for Amazon Prime, some items get free speedy delivery, next day delivery, or even same day delivery. Every day there are deals that you can get just by going on their deals page. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you are eligible to get discounts and deals just for being a member. Amazon is the best online retailer because they know how to use the internet to their advantage. They build their site to be user-friendly, they make deliveries as hassle-free as possible, and they keep their prices at reasonable levels. Best of all, they work towards making each customer happy and work hard for each and every one.

Bought a pair of Sketchers shoes as well as a pair of merrell sandals for the wife.
Wow what an awesome deal in comparison to the ridiculous prices NZ retailers charge us for the same goods! Can't wait for Amazon to come to Australasia!

I've bought several items on their web site. I've always received everything in less time than expected. The only drawback is the price, often more expensive than other online shops.

Amazon values loyalty and their service has always been great and consistent. I've purchased more times from Amazon than any other online vendor (who hasnt?) and the few times I've had an issue - Amazon has always taken my side and done their best to immediately help resolve the issue. I very much appreciate this and trust them more than any other online vendor.

Should be AUD NOT USD
October 9, 2017

Used Amazon to buy a few books, but for some reason Amazon insists on charging the price of the item to USD from what I thought was AUD.
The shipping is also expensive.
Im hoping AMAZON get it right now that they are based in dandenong, Australia.
Message to the team at Amazon, when based in Australia, change your currency to AUD.
If you do not you may not survive...

Deliveries late
October 9, 2017

Whilst I appreciate delivery on time during Hurricane IRMA was not possible next day deliveries were taking 5 days even after the Hurricane.
I buy from Amazon often & they usually very good but they let themselves down a bit & made no contingencies.
I was pleased with all my purchases though.

This is one of the first places I look when I need something and 99% of the time, I find it and I am very satisfied with the asking price... I tend to use amazon smiles a little more though now so that some profit goes to a charity of my choosing.

I love Amazon a lot, but shipping could get a little out of hand. Also I ordered not one, but two things and they never came in. If in the shipping process they could keep a little better track I would give them a five. But til then I'm still waiting for my items that were apparently delivered 8 months ago, but never came.

Shopping is fine, but who can familiarize them selves with every merchants return policies? I've bought almost two identical items and one had free returns, another charged me an arm and a leg. So good luck guessing.

Amazon Is The Greatest
October 9, 2017

Great place to shop! I have been shopping online with Amazon for many years and have never been disappointed. It an item purchased is not as expected, it can easily be returned. I have not had to return many of the items that I've purchased with them because everything I bought is as advertised.

Se trata de un portal de compras online, en el que puedes encontrar de todo. Electrónica, ropa, objetos de decoración, cuidado personal, droguería, comida... Lo mejor de ellos es su programa de devoluciones, en el que si tienes algún tipo de problema enseguida te dan una solución. Además tiene su programa Prime, en el a consigues muchas ventajas por un módico precio, como gastos de envío gratis, entrega al día siguiente en muchísimos productos, almacenamiento en la nube, vídeo bajo demanda... Para mi es el mejor sitio para realizar comprar online, con la ventaja añadida de ser una empresa muy seria.

Amazon PRIME
October 9, 2017

Business account with Amazon is the absolute best decision business wise that I have made. The $99 Prime membership allows FREE shipping for PRIME items, and 300+purchases in the last 6-months, I guess my shipping has more than saved the membership cost. For example... contacted Autozone for a roll of 3/8" fuel hose. Was quoted $57... Amazon purchase cost me $18
Go figure. It is a shame what local suppliers are NOT doing to compete in the market place. I have SAVED thousands puchasing thru AMAZON and the only regret is that I did not do so SOONER

Amazon has everything I need: electronics, food, books, movies, etc. They have competitive prices with rapid shipment and delivery of items. I use Amazon often and have an Amazon Prime Membership. That allows me to get 2-day shipment for free for their products eligible for Prime delivery. It also provides streaming of music, TV programs and movies.

After discovering Amazon Prime, my days of brick and mortar shopping are over! The nest part is loading items into cart, and picking them up at my door...
