Advantages: Easy 1 click option Disadvantages: Search could be better
I have used Amazon for over two years and I think that its a great all-rounder site on the net. Buying - There are two main types of buying items, from Amazon direct or from sellers. Amazon - They do not charge anything for delivery as of a few days ago therefore items are very cheap and get delivered straight away. Please note that super saver delivery is very unpredicatable, it is either incredibly fast like first class post or very slow and take ... ...These people are individuals or companies who are selling items just like if they were on the streets. The items are generally good but some people are unfortunately there to scam people out of their hard earned cash but sometimes if you are lucky Amazon will refund the money which you had been scammed for as the money cannot be taken without the person confirming that they had recieved the item. Selling - You can either be a company or an induvidual ...

Advantages: Takes so little time to order the books Disadvantages: Nothing that I found so far
...I can safely say, that Amazon.co.uk is simply awesome. Not only did I receive the books in one working day from my purchase, but the books were all in excellent condition. Hence, I had immediately ordered another set of books from them, and from then on, I have not visited any bookstores, prefering to search and buy through Amazon.co.uk instead. I also bought the MS Office 2007 from Amazon. co. uk, and I got it for a lot less than what I would have ... ...for any other options. The customer would great benefit from all that Amazon.co.uk has to offer. Of course, one needs to keep in mind that using Amazon.co.uk would benefit those living in uk or neighboring countries more than others as they are likely to get their purchases delivered faster. ...

Advantages: Best prices, good quality products, delivered quickly and in good condition Disadvantages: Slightly higher delivery charges sometimes as products come from different websites.
I have been purchasing products from this site for many years and it is the best one I have found for price and excellent products. I have bought perfume, aftershaves, skincare, toys, books, garden tools and lots of household products and much much more. There is so much choice you can find something for everyone.

Advantages: Great Product Ranges. Easy to navigate. Consumer friendly Disadvantages: Too much stuff!
Amazon is a great site full of products that are well listed, easy to find and very reasonably priced and is very efficient. The books in particular offer everything and contain honest reviews from readers and are very insightful and can help when deciding whether to purchase a book or not.

...~~~ Products ~~~
Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay.
~~~ Prices ~~~
The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than ... ...for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site?
~~~ Site Layout + Navigation ~~~
For such a well known website, the presentation of the site isn’t the best in my opinion. I think it looks a little cheap and a change to the look of the site would make browsing their products much more enjoyable. The text seems quite plain and there isn't much colour, maybe ...

Advantages: Cheap, huge range of products, easy to use, free shipping. Disadvantages: Sometimes postage isn't shown until you are already in the check-out section.
I've been a member of Amazon.co.uk for several years now, buying books occasionally when I was very young because they were so cheap. You could buy books at the time for 0.01p so I would add loads to my list. The only thing I failed to notice was that the postage prices added up and I was now paying £2.76 for every book I had added to my basket. It's fair enough... I can't expect to get everything for nothing. But they do have incredibly low prices ... ...much more. I shop regularly at Amazon, especially to buy books and DVD boxsets as they are so much cheaper than any other shop. For example a Supernatural boxset would cost £20 to £25 in an actual shop, for instance, Borders. But if you browse Amazon's huge range of products, you can find it for as low a price as £8. It does allow you to sell second-hand and new items to other buyers, but there is a lot of competition in prices. You could be aiming ...

Advantages: Excellent choice of products and sellers. Disadvantages: Not found any yet
I have been a member of Amazon for 2 years and have found them to be trustworthy with their services. Items that have been purchased are books, cds, dvds, electronic equipment. I have always found that items have been delivered extremely promptly. The postage and packaging has always been fair or free over a certain amount. I believe their free postage requirements have now been reduced to a maximum spend of £5 but this could change at any time. ... ...cost to let you compare value for money. It is sometimes difficult to believe that items start from as little as £0.01 for a book plus the standard UK postage, I have bought second hand books for this amount and yes it is the correct price and the product has always been as described, There is an excellent variety of sellers to choose from and profiles can be checked before purchase, ...

Advantages: lots of products on offer, free shipment on several products Disadvantages: they keep only a few products in stock, so you have to pay the shipping for each retailer
As I live in a small town where there is a Sainsbury's, a Cooperative and a OneStop shop, two post offices and some restaurants I have to do the shopping in neighbouring cities or via Internet. We don't have a car, so going to another town for doing the shopping is an excursion. We enjoy it, but I have to admit that I prefer shopping online. Amazon is one of my favourite sites.

I do all my online shopping from Amazon, mainly because it's cheap, affordable and comparable.
Amazon is basically an online 'catalogue' website of all different stuff to purchase, either brand new from Amazon and alternative sellers or 'used'. ****** Registering with Amazon ***********

Advantages: By far the largest selection of books anywhere. Disadvantages: Sometimes they advertise hard to find books, but they are unable to get them.
I think that Amazon is THE best website for buying books, cds and DVDs. It is also an excellent website for buying gifts, baby products, toys, etc. However in my opinion its descriptions, pictures, prices and delivery options, make it stand head and shoulders above its competitors. One of their newer features allows users to look inside a book, as if they are reading it. Book covers are up to date, but it also allows you to select a version of a ...

Advantages: Very easy to use and a great way of making money and clearing out your books. Disadvantages: Not brilliantly happy about the new paid after dispatch rule, but Amazon can be trusted.
I have been selling books on Amazon marketplace for over a year now. As I am also an ebay seller I have experienced the difference between the two and am able to share my experiences on how easy the Amazon selling tools are to use. Firstly you enter the ISBN number of the book. Then you confirm that the correct book has been found, enter the condition of the book from a drop down menu, and enter any other notes you may need to make about the book. ... ...see what other sellers are selling the same book for, you enter your price and you are taken to a page that gives you a break down of fees and a total for the exact amount you will earn if your book sells. Amazon charges the customer £2.75 p&p which is added to your total. You receive an email from Amazon when your book sells and all the dispatch information can be found in your seller account. Up until now the buyer has paid on ordering, this is ...

Advantages: Website content, delivery quality and communication is simple and straightforward. Disadvantages: Prime membership is a bit expensive
Amazon is, in my opinion, the best of the best internet available websites to purchase not only books but a wide variety of products. There is nothing you cannot find there and prices are generally always cheaper than with other companies. Their website is very easy to browse and it clearly indicates from how many providers you can purchae a specific product. If you buy books, for many of them you can search inside the books to ensure you like the ... ...can save different delivery addresses and payment methods which can be very useful. Delivery generally is reliable though sometimes dispatch time takes long. There is the option to become a PRIME member for about 50 pounds and as such you are entitled to one day free postage delivery and other benefits. From my point of view this is slightly expensive unless you purchase every week. Overall it is simple to use and very straightforward. ...
