Finest service, delivery, prices and quality. by jewel2,May 28 '06
Have been shopping and buying at Amazon over ten years, Never one problem of any kind..great prices, quick delivery and friendly customer service. I have purchased many items of all kinds, very happy and look forward to checking out Amazon's site every day.
FANTASTIC Customer Service - Low Prices - Speed Shipping - Wide Selection by metoo2002,Nov 16 '07
I have been a customer of Amazon for over ten years now; and I have yet to find any other online store with the broad product selection, consistent lowest prices, and OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Amazon is by far one of the BEST online stores. I HIGHLY recommend AMAZON.
High level of satisfaction by perrypk24,Nov 15 '03
I'm very happy with Amazon. Shipping is fast - I received my monitors in only a few days. Return policy is generous - 30 days no hassle - I had no trouble returning one item. Prices are good. Overall, a very good experience with electronics
(and other items purchased.) I buy mostly from Amazon when I can.
My experience at Amazon Marketplace was excellent, the delivered fast and in good condition by obx560,Jan 29 '04
I have ordered about 14 different items on Amazon Marketplace. Every order that I have made gets delivered fast, and my orders have always been accurate, and have never been damaged. The customer service is helpful and courteous. My overall satisfaction it excellent. I still continue to order off of Amazon. If you have not ordered from Amazon before, then I suggest that you try it.
Highly Recommended for all your shopping needs by panndyra,Oct 18 '04
I always enjoy Amazon. I was a vendor for the marketplace. They have a great system in place. The products are delivered on time and accurate. Customer service is fine unless you really are into 'live people'. I'm computer savvy so that doesn't bug me as much.
I recommend it to everyone, especially college students. by k_belzy,Oct 25 '04
Great place to both buy and sell! I buy all my school books here, and sold all my old books that the university wouldn't buy back! You make a lot more money selling on Amazon then selling books to a university. I have both saved a ton of money on school books and then sold them for good money. I recommend it to everyone!
I have had great experiences with Amazon Marketplace. by palkovics,Nov 01 '04
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.
Amazon.com has always been a good experience!! by dede04,Dec 08 '04
I have bought toys, cds, text books(for grad school) and even sold my old text books on Amazon.com. It is a wonderful site. They ship quick and send emails relating the status of their shipping or a sellers shipping status. Very user friendly as well. I highly recommend Amazon.com.
Fast delivery. Very satisfied. Product came packaged very well. Bought a reconditioned item. Was kind of leary at first, but now we're sold on reconditioned. Saved a lot of money. Very convenient. Didn't have to run around looking for our products. We now do a lot of shopping at Amazon Marketplace.
Greatest online shopping experience ever! by dfelowitz,Jan 20 '05
I have only one dealing with amazon. I bought a book from there a few years ago, and i must say the price was good the shipping rate was good and the speed of dilivery was fast ( i lived overseas on a small island of the coast of portugal ) and the book arived in less then a week.
my wife has ordered from there befor and she has never had any complaints
Its the worlds marketplace ..... and I love being a part of it by debauchari,Jan 26 '05
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.
I have never had a problem with Amazon Marketplace and highly recommend it . by linn770,Oct 26 '03
Amazon Marketplace provides excellent order accuracy, delivery speed, and availability of products wanted. Since all my orders have been handled accurately, I have had no reason to use their customer service. I am sure it is excellent too.
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!!
Had nothing but good things to say. Great service so far, FOUND a complete set of AKIRA Manga for cheap, FOUND used DVDs from trustworthy vendors, have been able to purchase GREAT FILMS on dvd for $10 dollars... free s/h? Can't beat that!!!
Excellent system with price comparison. by qwer1,Apr 30 '05
Delivery speed was incredible - actually a day EARLY. Order accuracy was excellent - I rec'd exactly what I ordered and the best - at the exact price (including shipping pirce) that I was quoted. I would order from this company again in a split second.
A GREAT,HONEST, EASY, AND ENJOYABLE PLACE TO SHOP. by edie0810,Jan 17 '05
I have been making my music purchases from Amazon.com for a while now. Everyone there is so helpful and nice. My shipments Always arrive as promised and in great condition. Also, they keep their prices affordable for everyone. I have enjoyed my shopping experiences with AMAZON.COM
amazon has been a God send. even here in ca, it's difficult to find certain cds. when i move to salt lake city, i'm sure i will be using them even more. great selection (they need more imports). except for two times when my account got erased, the service has been great. 98% of all my orders were delivered and most within a week. a lot of fun to sit and put in names of musicians and see what comes up. even obscure ones.
very pleased indeed and great bargains on DVDs! by paulmteal,Aug 04 '06
Marketplace is a superb place to buy new(and used) DVDs.Good sellers are rated highly and can be trusted.All sellers are closely policed by Amazon themselves.

Amazon.com is great! I would recommend it to ANYONE! by bbkellner,Feb 12 '06
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
Amazon delivers quality, competitive pricing and superior delivery service.! by domperignon,Aug 09 '05
I have not shopped at Amazon for electronics, but have ordered many DVDs and books. Every order has arrived in a timely fashion. The orders also have been packaged very well to insure that they reach me in perfect condition. The pricing is competitive and often better than other on line stores.I will continue to shop at any Amazon site.
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.
Great sub for Ebay. Good Products and good Prices by ryebreadrecipe,Aug 25 '05
I've bought and listed things on Amazon and I enjoy it better than Ebay. I trust the merchants more and the products have always been as good as described. Very easy system too, since the shipping and payment are all done and verified through Amazon.com.
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.
MEGA STORE, litterally if you can't find it here it doesn't exisit. I order from AMAZON.com about every two weeks just cause other place simply dont' have what I'm looking for. Customer service takes time but speed and accuracy are prefect and beyond compare. They truly are the gold standard of online stores.
