Love My Amazon Prime
September 11, 2015

Best thing I ever did was to join Amazon Prime. So many features for just $99 a year. I highly recommend it. Most orders are delivered in 2 days as long as you see Prime logo. Non Prime logo also gets delivered faster than their expected date of delivery. You can't lose.

Excellent Company

Best Site to Shop Online
September 8, 2015

Amazon is by far the best online shopping site around! They stand behind their products and make returns/refunds easy. Unlike a lot of other sites, they value their customers and have excellent customer service.

Check out Amazon SMILE!
September 8, 2015

If you type smile.amazon.com, you can buy everything you normally get at Amazon for exactly the same price but Amazon donates to a charity of your choice. It's incredibly simple for the user and beneficial to a cause you believe in. I chose the Wounded Warrior Project but there are loads of options. Best idea ever!

In my opinion Amazon has expanded to being a middleman. No doubt this is one of the best sites in the world.

Sure works for me
September 8, 2015

Been using this site for years and always been satisfied. Had a couple of shipments come a bit slower than usual, but every other time, fast shipping. Returns have been a snap.

Asian Amazon
September 7, 2015

Amazon is a good company that was once great. Their ease in ordering and paying is second to none. The problem with their current policy is they are really cutting the price using sometimes very poor quality products from overseas. Now their return policy and return procedure is again; 2nd to none. Click a couple of buttons, take a printed return form to UPS and ship it with a credit already posted back to your account. Amazon could return to greatness by doing more quality control and allowing reviews that were not only about the product but also about the company. Good luck and God bless.

Making shopping easy
September 7, 2015

I love buying things on Amazon... so easy to navigate around. Excellent service and support. No quibble returns... a sheer delight to deal with. They are the yardstick that all others are measured against. The prime service is worth it, and have used it for a couple of years now. With the films, music and TV and free delivery on some items. I am really happy to recommend them to anyone. A service that is consistently high and on the few occasions that things have gone wrong... they handle everything quickly and professionally.

Awesome

Amazon saved my Apps for the last 8 years. My twins put them on my device when we would travel. Found them the other day. It was a "back down memory lane" moment.

Almost Perfect
September 7, 2015

Amazon is hit and miss, but mostly hit. I buy from them often; several items a month on average. I have only had a few problems with them. My biggest beef is their "temporarily out of stock" description, which always means: "permanently out of stock". If you avoid these, you will most likely enjoy the cheapest prices and most reasonable shipping on the internet. If you do have a problem, their customer service department is grade A, and really do seek to satisfy their customers, which is why I buy from them so often. It also helps that shipping is free on orders over $35! They really can't be beat! (Shameless plug: check out my review of their "Alchemy Mummified Palmistry Hand Gothic". It's a truish story!)

When you don't live next to several big box stores, Amazon is indispensable for home and business, especially if you are a prime member.
