On December 20th I ordered a Yamaha A-S500 amplifier from Amazon.co.uk, through Amazon Global (I live in Norway). It was in stock, and delivery date no later than Jan 25th was promised. Then on Jan... more

    5 Stars Shopping in the Jungle Review with images 01/02/2010

    Advantages Advantages Fast delivery

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes difficult to follow product descriptions

    I have been a customer with Amazon for quite some time now; as they sell a wide range of products at affordable prices and they are often cheaper than other retail outlets so they are usually my first choice when I am looking for something. The interface looks a little cluttered as there are a few suggested items that Amazon might think you are interested in or there are items that are currently on offer to tempt you into buying. From the homepage you can use the search toolbar to find what you are looking for, or if you are not sure what you want and you just fancy browsing the site you can ... more

    5 Stars AMAZON-AMAZINGLY EASY, EVEN FOR A SIMPLETON LIKE ME 27/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Shopping from the comfort of one's own home, avoiding the crowds.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me so far.

    As I often say, I'm not computer literate (although I'm improving) and not at all technical. I'm of the age when, at school, computers weren't really heard of. Any whisperings was like hearing of something that wouldn't happen for decades. When I worked in quite modern offices, there weren't then, computers. The most technical thing contained in the last office that I worked in was a fax machine. I wasn't familiar with this. But all of my children have been, and still are, interested in computers. So I have learnt a little along the way. Also, when working in primary schools, I realised that I ... more

    5 Stars Have you shopped at Amazon? 29/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge selection, good prices, fast and efficient, free deliver

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Delivery not always free and can be expensive, Items not always cheapest

    Started off as a small American company selling books, but now it's the world's biggest online mail order company. They've expanded from selling books, to music, videos and DVD's, to electronics, toys, to software and computer bits, as well as offering DVD rental services and much more. Needless to say, their selection of products is huge for each category! THE WEBSITEThe website looks very professional but it can be a bit 'busy' for some people who don't use the Internet much. Items are sorted into a range of categories, which can be accessed via the category titled tabs at the top. There's a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wide choice and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wishlists disappear

    I am sure there is no one here who would not know what Amazon.co.uk is, but, on the off chance... Amazon.co.uk is a website that started originally as an online book store. Now over the years it has grown and developed to sell a whole range of items. Including, Electrics, DVD's, CD's, Appliances, Toys, Games and many more. Layout and Navigation ---------------------------- Amazon.co .uk has an orange/blue and white theme throughout; it's clear and well laid out. There is a search bar at the top of the page to type in what it is you're looking for. You can narrow this down by category. One ... more

    5 Stars Amazon through your letterbox 21/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazon Marketplace - cheap as chips

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Delivery Costs

    With over 500 reviews on this website, I thought shall I bother to write my own. I heard cries of 'Not another Amazon review!!' After long deliberation, I have decided to share my experiences with this website with you, whether you like it or not! I first visited this website around a year and half ago while pricing a book I wanted to buy my brother for a birthday present. Looking around other sites, the book was costing around £5-£6, a little over my budget (I didn't have a job then - I was only 16). The search engine brought up a site called 'Amazon' which I hadn't heard of before as I was ... more

    IAmazon only take non-order complaints now, so now how do i complain about a marketplace trader?

    My Amazon marketplace oreder was not as described so i sent it back for a refund. However I want to complain to amazon.co.uk about it, but they only accept non-order queries now. They tell you to deal with the trader directly. This is ridiculous, they are letting traders sell goods on their website which are claearly not in compliance with the UK trade descriptions act. What can I do about it? Amazon should be taking this more seriously.
