Delivery
May 10, 2017

I purchased two items on the same day. One was supposed have been ship and i received a confirmation email saying that it will be arriving on 05/03. So i took the day off. When i was home waiting for the package i received an email that Amazon advised of a new shipping date. It arrived about 3 days later. I lost out on a day of pay. The other item i have not received and i ordered on 04/26, and Amazon informed me that they i wont be receiving latest 05/16. WOW almost a month to get a Shirt.

The movies are always old and not updated fast enough.

Its ok if you are on Prime, otherwise you need to pay to buy the decent movies.

Not sure who is worse, these guys or Netflix.

Love AMAZON
May 10, 2017

Always on time, and never a hassle with returns. I also like the website which you can customize to support the ASPCA and give back a small portion of the sale to them.

Amazon prime customer for eight years. I'm never disappointed and if it's a damaged package that needs to be returned or replaced they complete the process with no problem.

Their best selling point is their customer service. Easily. Oh and 1 day delivery even on weekends. I have used amazon for almost all my purchases for these 2 reasons.

I LOVE Amazon!
May 8, 2017

Amazon Prime is my go to when I want something. Most of the time the prices are very competitive and if something goes wrong with your transaction, Amazon has your back. Product reviews are helpful because Amazon marks them as to whether or not they correspond to a verified purchase. I especially like the Amazon Prime VISA with it's 5% off Amazon purchases and 2% off at restaurants.

Bootlegs
May 8, 2017

The last few years all the products we have brought on Amazon appear to be cheap bootlegs and break ASAP, started buying direct from the manufactures. Now it cost more but products last and are better quality.

Overall Amazon is great. Its an easy checkout process, Amazon Prime has some great shows, and you can find everything on here. I have noticed recently that the recommended sellers for a lot of products are "too good to be true prices" and find that those sellers take sometimes a month to ship and mostly are knock offs. If they fix that issue, Amazon will be perfect.

Couldnt believe my eyes when I opened my package from Amazon. I ordered and paid $59.00 for a new Honeywell thermostat. What I received was a blister pack that had been previously opened and taped shut. But the real kicker was that the thermostat had a price tag from Salvation Army on it. On the price tag were the words Used Sold AS IS. Price - $4.99. So someone in the Amazon food chain bought this USED thermostat at a Salvation Army store for $4.99, and sold it to me as NEW for $59.00. Attempts to review this item and seller on Amazon have been denied by Amazon. I cant imagine why I would trust Amazon and continue buying through them in the future.

Amazon sold me this thermostat for $59.00!

Always found Amazon very good.
Competitively priced, and fast delivery.
And they don't make Mad claims like some other auction sites I could mention.
