I thought I would ask how many people buy from Amazon.com I know I do

Ofcourse I do, I'm a Prime member. I order almost all of my tools from amazon and get free 2 day shipping on all of it. I got a drill press about a month ago. It was 240 pounds and I still got free shipping, I love prime.

Have in the past, and would again... but I always hunt for the best deals, and a lot of times, Amazon isn't it. For books, for instance, Buy.com offers 10% off Amazon on most books... they track the Amazon prices and keep theirs 10% lower. I've purchased from them with no sweat, as well.

Still, sometimes Amazon is the best value... and it's the only place online I'd bother getting gift certificates for others.

No, I haven't bought anything from Amazon.com, but I have looked around the place but never bought anything. At one point, I almost did.

I have bought a lot from Amazon. I buy music I can not find in stores. I also have bought things I noticed that some things are cheaper on Amazon then in the stores :shock:

Talk about bringing back an old thread (3+ years). First let's dust this one off! :D

I had to vote no on this one. The only time I ever ordered really from amazon was when Toys R Us was still using Amazon warehouses for their online site. I recall it was for some sports action figures when I was 14-15 years old. They were horrendous and always sent the wrong thing. I had only ordered a handful of times and each time I ended up calling customer service. I have yet to order from either toysrus.com or amazon.com since those experiences. I think my dad recently ordered something off of amazon. I recall seeing one of their distinctly marked boxes!

I would say amazon.co.uk counts. I have ordered from both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk (for those things available in the UK and not in the USA).

Len90, your bad experience was years ago and was when they had that partnership with Toys R'Us. That's in the past. You should give them another chance. I've ordered from alot - even with a book that is exclusively at DLR and not WDW (I was given the recommendation from the person on the phone at DisneyEARS!) - and have had no problems.

I'll give it some thought, but I have been so busy that I have really not even given any time to buying stuff online. I rarely go looking around on the internet for stuff to buy. I know I was on break, but that time has been consumed by my photography hobby.

Man, I order from Amazon all the time. Who needs to go to the mall and watch all the tweens hang out at the food court or in front of Hot Topic?

I used to buy DVD's from Amazon for under $10 used (including shipping) before Blu-Rays became big. There are great deals to be had.

I use Amazon on a regular basis. Never had a problem, other than occasionally slow shipping. BUT...Very seldom can you find a better price on most things :!: :!: :!:
