Amazon.com —
I am an avid Internet shopper. If there is a cheaper price, I will find it even if it takes me all night. I am well aware that the cheapest price may come with a hefty shipping price. The more I look, the more often I come back to Amazon.com. It's amazing the depth and breadth of items available.I teach at the college level, and have helped innumerable students find textbooks at the last minute that are within their limited book budget. I have to admit we have run into problems: [1] sellers lie,
[2] sometimes these books are listed as Ohio and are really coming from the UK
[3] descriptors (text book vs study guide) or ISBN numbers are not correct (again, sellers lie in order to sell an old or useless book to the unsuspecting buyer), but 99% of the time my students get their books within a week and in good condition.
Personally, we have ordered egg incubators, an HD television, clothing, DVDs, wedding gifts and funeral remembrances, odd items that are a perfect fit for that hard-to-please person in our lives, and much more. Rarely have I had a problem in availability, shipping or quality of product. When there was a problem, Amazon work with me and the seller for satisfaction to us both.
I don't just buy. I also sell items on Amazon. It is quick, easy and I have never had a buyer who was a problem or had a problem. I have had one lackluster review, but that was from a student in a high-brow university. I sold her a book that had been used 3 times, had some wear on the cover, but was pristine within. She was displeased that the book looked older than the other student's books. She got a great price, and I shipped it to her first class. You have to be prepared for picky, dissatisfied customers.
Whether buyer or seller, I like the way Amazon handles the money end of the transaction. There is also an easy way to communicate with the seller/buyer without using your own personal e-mail address. Yes, I have had problems both as a buyer and a seller, but the majority of the time, all transactions go smoothly, and the item arrives within the week. Would I recommend it to my friends and family? ABSOLUTELY.
