Prime is the best way to go
September 18, 2017

Amazons prime feature is the best way to go in online purchasing. Whether it is the pantry, the videos or the general merchandise, Amazon has proven itself adapt at keeping up with demand. I use the service for my personal purchases as well as my business needs. When I am out in the brick and mortar stores I use the prime service to check the pricing against what is i front of me. Scanning bar codes makes this comparison easy. The fee they charge for this service is minimal and once a year while the savings are constant and outweigh the fee.

Varied shipping
September 17, 2017

Amazon is a great website that sells things for cheap. I have ordered many things off of Amazon and I have only had two problems with the site. The first problem, is that I ordered an item for a gift to my father. In the description it told me that it was a 1000 lumen flashlight (very bright). When I finally received it in the mail ( around a month later) it was nowhere near 1000 lumens. It was MAYBE around 50 lumens. We were both very disappointed considering I spent $20 on a flashlight I could buy at a gas station. The other problem is shipping. I have ordered some items and they have came in around 3 days later and then I have had items that have came in around 2 MONTHS later. Overall, they are a good site but you have to watch out for false advertisement and make sure that you'll be okay with waiting months to receive your package.

Amazon always has the items that I am looking for, and usually at the best prices available online. The items are well packed and shipped very rapidly. If an item is not as expected, it is easily returned!

I love Amazon Prime
September 15, 2017

A worry that the company is taking over the world, but admit that Prime has been great, watch a lot of movies and TV and my partner seems to order something every other day. The customer service is remarkably great, which I didn't expect, anything goes wrong, they are on it without argument.

My 'Go-To'
September 13, 2017

Have just about everything and if you don't find it, change the search to include the name. They seem to be having a problem with someone their 'accessory' vendors who are very slow and (per this site) have lousy reviews. If you stick to the Prime delivery by Amazon, you can't go wrong.
