So far each time we have ordered from Amazon they have always been the best deal for what we needed. I even found some music on amazon that I could not get anywhere else. Delivery is always on time. Will continue to use Amazon.

I can find anything I need or want on Amazon. I also donate to my charity, United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, by shopping through the Amazon Smile link! You can choose your own charity to donate to! I'm a Prime & Subscribe & Save member, so I receive 15% off my monthly purchases, including dog treats & over-the-counter medications. Their customer service is wonderful. If an item was promised & didn't arrive, they'll make it right. They're prices are low. I'm so glad that Amazon exists & I'm lucky enough to be a buyer.

Love Amazon.

Amazon has been there when I needed the most. I had a hip replacement surgery five months ago and a knee replacement last week. Everything I needed they had it. And delivered the next day. I absolutely love Amazon.

So far I've spent more than $******* on Amazon. I shop every week on Amazon, I'm a long time, loyal customer. There are times I made purchases and items looked very different than the picture on their websites. It does affect me sometimes but when they make mistake, they're always willing to fix the issue. Therefore, I can trust them and continue to be their customer. Trust is a big element in a seller and buyer relationship.

Excellent Service
May 11, 2017

I have purchased so many things from Amazon over the years from Gorilla glue to light bulbs & have never had an issue. Items have gone missing & they have refunded immediately.
A couple of items have been faulty & returned for exchange or refunded,
Have only good things to say about thid site
Reccomend it to all.

Has put thousands of small businesses out of business.

Costing thousands and thousands of jobs. INdefensible treatment of warehouse workers. Exploitation of marketplace sellers especially smaller sellers. I never buy there anymore because of this.

I had an unauthorized purchase via someone else's minor who thought it was ok to just buy stuff lol. Well, I let them know what happened and their only response was Amazon only gives you 30 mins to cancel. Well, that doesn't apply here - not to mention i let them know it wasnt authorized 2 hours later. They didnt even start shipping until 2 days later.

So after I let them know, their next reply talked about a 20% restocking fee, up to 50% depending on the condition. I told them I already cancelled my credit card, notified my bank, notified Amazon. I also told them if they play a part in this, they can be considered accessory to fraud. That's no bueno.

Whatever you do, please avoid Home Online vendor. Yes, they're in the US.
