...and ordered three books from Amazon.co.uk on Sunday 7 June - Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger and A.S Byatt's The Children's Book- and they were with me on the morning of Tuesday 9 June. Much recommended - the website is straighforward and the delivery time - in my own experience - is excellent. There are massive discounts on the shop prices of most items. The books i ordered would have cost me over £45 in the shops ... Read review

Advantages: Good product range, reasonable prices, good tracking facility for products, user-friendly website.
Disadvantages: Products take a long time to arrive with Free Super Saver Delivery

I've been using Amazon.co.uk for about 3 years now and I've ordered quite a few items off their website. One of the pros of shopping with Amazon is that they offer a wide range of products at some of the cheapest prices around. There's even the opportunity for you to buy and sell used books, computer games and DVDs. Also, their website is really user friendly and you'll nearly always be able to find what you're looking for within about 1 minute of ... Read review

Advantages: One stop search for any type of reading material
Disadvantages: Be aware of delivery costs for single item orders

I can't imagine how I used to manage without Amazon, trawling through bookshops, up and down the High Street. Nowadays, I personally find it much easier to come home, boot up the PC and the first place I look, and in my opinion, the best place to visit is Amazon. I use Amazon for searching for titles and books that I know I'm not going to be able to pick up on the High street, or they are out of stock for weeks, but with Amazon, even when something ...

Advantages: Online shopping, sell items (free listings), good range of goods & ranges, good sales process
Disadvantages: The higher the price of your item, the more the fees

Amazon is a website and online shop where you can buy and sell a wide range of products from CDs & DVDs, Books, Clothes & Accessories, Electronics, Toys and more... I have used Amazon a lot in the past year as I use it to buy DVDs for some of my favourite TV series which are not readily available in the UK, or if they are available they are rather expensive. On Amazon, you can buy them straight from the distributors in the US at a reasonable price ... Read review

Advantages: Great site, loads fast, updated regularly.
Disadvantages: Can't use gift vouchers in the Marketplace.

Amazon.co.uk is now one of my favourite sites online to buy items from. The pricing on Amazon is always very competitive and if you are looking for a specific item you will likely find it here either for sale by Amazon.co.uk or from a member of the Marketplace. Amazon seem to sell everything, electronics, cds, dvds, toys, games, books, beds, you name it, they seem to sell it (or have somebody listed who sells it!). I think part of the reason ...

Advantages: Range of products, free delivery over 15 pounds, free returns inc. cost of return
Disadvantages: Product damage, some deals not as good as they'd like you to believe

Have been using amazon for about five years now, and where once I didn't feel the need to shop around I now do. Online rivals like hmv and play.com have faster service and better packaging I feel, and similar prices generally. The packages can take some time to arrive and I've had a few damaged books. Be warned - amazon will offer hefty discounts on rrp that other websites set as their standard prices or not much increase on the amazon sale price. ... Read review

Advantages: Huge selection of goods, competitive, reliable, good after-sales service.

Introduction. I have been using the Amazon UK site for a couple of years now, mostly to buy CD’s, DVD’s, games, photo equipment, books and a few household odds and ends, here is a description of the site and my experience of using it. A brief history of Amazon. Amazon was first started by Jeff Bezos in 1994 from his garage in Washington USA, originally as an online bookstore, after a slow start and then a couple of large investments ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to find books, free delivery (Super Saver Deliveries), can sell your own things 2nd hand
Disadvantages: not a very reliable review/rating system, some Marketplace Sellers are dodgy

...gripe I have with the Amazon.co.uk site is that it seems to be regulated by Amazon.co.uk staff who try to control the content that is allowed online as a review of the product. I've tried sending in more than one less-positive reviews on certain books/games and they never showed up on the site, whereas some other more positive reviews I've sent in (on the same day I sent in the less positive ones) got displayed online. I've even tried resending the ... Read review

Advantages: Free shipping, availability, price, fast dispatch
Disadvantages: Amazon marketplace

I've been using them for 4 years now - mostly for books and media - great prices, fast dispatch (8 out of 10 times I got my stuff faster than they told me I would), and on top of that free shipping on orders over £5! Great availability too...And they do send replacements if the original order is lost in transit. On average I'm placing two orders a month - and I have never been disappointed. And that's all when you buy directly from amazon.co.uk. Unfortunately ... Read review
