Amazon.com Review Summary
When asked to name an online retailer, Amazon.com is one of the first places that comes to mind. Customers are instantly impressed by the gigantic inventory of books, music CDs, movies, and general merchandise and reviewers like the free shipping offer, which is valid for some items. Because Amazon.com has such a vast selection, it can take time to find what you want. But the wait at Amazon.com is part of the fun because there are so many different products to investigate while you conduct a merchandise search. Tuffy777 says, "I trust Amazon with my credit card info, and I trust them to deliver good products at a reasonable price and usually on time. " Amazon.com has been described as “A Superstore at Your Fingertips” due to its huge selection and it continues to win new adherents every day. Crystabush points out, "Over the years, Amazon has added toys, home and garden, health and beauty items and most recently, groceries!" In the words of one reviewer: “Amazon.com, Thank You” for being such a great online shopping friend.

Since I bought three items in the last few months on Amazon I thought I'd briefly review it. I doubt anyone doesn't know what Amazon is. In case you've been hiding under a rock it's a site that sells everything! These last three purchases were very easy for me in terms of finding them, paying...

Quick View: Amazon.com is striving to take over online shopping as we know it. With their many, many affiliates, price comparison engine, reviews, and huge inventory, it is the biggest shopping outlet on the net. But it's not perfect by any means.

When I first subscribed to an Internet account back in the late summer of 1999 - has it really been almost a decade? - to be able to surf the net and maybe meet people on the increasingly popular World Wide Web, I never really imagined how earthshakingly huge that decision would be.
Not only did I get hooked on being online (in every sense of the term), and not only did I sally forth into online romantic relationships (some good, most of them not), but so many of my day-to-day activities were irrevocably altered by my becoming an Internet junkie.
Take shopping, for instance. Before the year...

I received her Christmas list in late October-early November and began shopping. The kids wanted scooters and Walmart had the best price, ordered them online and shipped. Some of the items were hard to find and I had to go with whoever had... read full review »

This review is being dedicated to the many people at Viewpoints who hear me mention amazon.com time and time again. What can I say, I have found a place with good bargains and I'm loving it! Reviewer11 I finally got the review posted!
I was introduced to Amazon.com by way of another website. I was listening to some Southern Gospel music on the Internet Radio (live365.com). Whenever you hear a song you like you can click on "buy." Well, curiosity got the best of me and by clicking buy it rerouted me to amazon.com. I didn't know what this place was but all of a sudden I was looking...

No problems have ever happened with my credit card info, and they have handled returns and complaints fairly. They even pay the shipping for you to return things.
Over the past 10 years, I have bought all sorts of things from Amazon, from food and household items to books and music. They deliver in a timely manner, and everything has arrived in good condition.
I always wait for sales and discount codes because the shipping can make things a little bit expensive, but for... read full review »

Starting with wholesale book sales, the site took off quickly. Priofits though were a different matter. It wasn't until 10 years later that Amazon showed its first annual profit. Fortunately, when the dot com bubble burst Bezos and... read full review »

Grocery
Amazon.com is a website that I used to frequent only to buy or browse books. Over the years, Amazon has added toys, home and garden, health and beauty items and most recently, groceries!
Yes...groceries delivered to your door!!
Being a super busy working, full-time student MOM, I needed to check this out. I despise spending my free time at the grocery store when I can be with my children.
Now, Amazon doesn't have a selection like your local Kroger or Meijer but it does have a lot of grocery items to choose from. Everything that I was interested in, I needed to buy in...

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... read full review »

Product Selection
To start off, Amazon has many different products, and with anything you're looking for, chances are you'll find it on Amazon. Their prices are always lower than or equal to other retailers for the same product. Plus, Amazon is constantly having sales that can stack even greater discounts on top of the already low prices.
Amazon also sells a multitude of products... read full review »

I've been shopping at Amazon for a long time. The initial reason I really fell in love with the site, way back when, was because they offered free shipping for orders over 25$. The second reason I loved it was because you could find anything you were looking for there. However Amazon.com has changed over the years and I am currently shopping their sparingly.
Problem #1: Free Shipping only applies to stuff sold by Amazon.... but 90% of the product I add to my cart turns out to be from other stores. The truth is, I rarely get free shipping ever anymore. EVERYTHING is sold by third parties,...
