Amazon Marketplace: The hope of a poor college bookworm

by Greatpilgrim, Feb 04 '06
Erasmus once said, “When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.” I think this is my favorite quote about books, because it sums up my life in one concise sentence. Now that I’ve discovered the beauty of ...

I homeschool and have purchased books at Amazon Marketplace. I found them to be reasonably priced. The site is easily navigated and easy to check out purchases. I usually compare the products prices and if Amazon is cheaper than Ebay, then that is where I go. I also like that you can buy the stuff right away. They also have set shipping fees, so you are never caught off guard with high shipping costs. I have always received my items packaged with care, and in a timely fashion.

I have no clue why amazon.com has low ratings. I have made total purchases in amazon for $4000 - just digital cameras, books, camera accessories, ipod accessories and cell-phones. At no time have I had trouble. Prompt delivery. If there was a problem, they informed me. Rebates -- no problem at all. I think amazon.com is the online retailer which should show the way to others like dell and buy, both of which suck.

It's the first place I got to for online deals!!
by mashiyuki,Feb 11 '05
Whenever I go look for a good deal online, Amazon Marketplace is the first place I visit. The selections are huge and they sell them for a really good deal. Most of their items qualifies for free shipping when you make a purchase of $25 or above. This saved me even more money.

The best thing about Amazon Marketplace are choices. They have other sellers on site who can offer you a better deal if you don't want to buy from Amazon. Each seller has ratings to see which sellers are more reliable then others.

I bought a couple of items from them before, and the items usually reached my place within 2 weeks using their free shipping option. That includes the time they need to pack it, and 5 - 9 business days for the shipping itself. Please note that the free shipping option only applies to items bought from Amazon, and NOT from other sellers.

Overall, I highly recommend this site for online shopping.

Amazon remains my site of choice for first look.
by rguzzard,Jan 01 '06
I have purchased many books, as well as household items with no problems in quality or speed of delivery. I was most impressed with Amazon when the Surround Sound Head Phones set I purchased proved to be less than durable. The sound was terrific but the design was such that they were easily breakable in the recharging base. Amazon immediately sent me the replacement I asked for, at no charge. Then when it also broke, they took the set back (they paid shipping) and promptly refunded my money.

I recently attempted a purchase of a vacuum cleaner through one of the private Amazon vendors who claimed one in stock, and supposedly shipped prior to Christmas. However, subsequently received an e-mail that through no fault of their own ??? they had to back order. However, they were very apologetic and offered an immediate refund if I did not want to wait for a later shipment.

This place is Awesome!
by hawaiiangurl3,May 18 '06
I order things from amazon marketplace all the time. It's just like ebay, regular people selling their stuff. However, amazon decides how much shipping to charge so you dont get ripped off by the seller. They do it based on weight. So its like $2.49 for a movie/book/video game. And you can do expedited shipping and international shipping. And sometimes you come across a seller that ships late or sends you a bad product. But the same stuff happens on ebay. And amazon has a marketplace guarantee. So if something like this does happen, you get all your money back (even shipping!). Amazon marketplace is so easy to use and reliable. I feel you dont get as ripped off with amazon as you do with ebay. Great place to shop!! And cheap!!

I love Amazon.com. Almost everything I buy online, either comes from Amazon or a clothes company... When you order something from Amazon, you know that you are not going to get cheated! One problem, is that they do not show their customer service number on the site. To save everyone time, the phone number's are:

Phone toll-free in the US and Canada: (800) 201-7575
Phone from outside the US and Canada: (206) 346-2992 or (206)-266-2992

by deepbiue,Jul 28 '07
I have shopped via Amazon for several years, both their online store and Marketplace and have never had a problem. Granted, my purchases were all books; however, even using Marketplace, I have not encountered any issues and have always had excellent service. As far as I am aware, the "free shipping" on orders over $25 were for qualifying items, which has always been stated on the item as, "this items qualifies for free shipping". Also it is good to remember, free shipping orders are low priority and may not be sent right away, and when they are shipped are usually sent USPS media mail, the cheapest and slowest form of shipping (sometimes up to 2 weeks). There were two times when the books I wanted were out of stock, both at Amazon and Marketplace, my credit card was not charged and they sent follow-up emails requesting if I still wanted the item. All in all, my experience has been excellent with Amazon. I have since joined their program and get my orders in 2 days via UPS.

Top five places to shop on the Internet.
by pdigs,Dec 12 '04
One of the great aspects of the Amazon marketplace is the variety of merchandise available; you can find albums, books, movies; all kinds of things you've never heard of. However, this can be a pitfall -- as you navigate the site you may lose track of what it was you originally were looking for. I've got about fifty items in my shopping cart that I "want," but don't have the money for or I'm not sure about. It's very tempting.

That said, I've been very satisfied with about 95% of my Amazon orders, with speedy deliveries, very accurate orders, and good customer service.
