    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 fast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages shipping could be cheaper

    Amazon.co.uk one of those rare animals - a really successful dot com enterprise. The reasons for this are simple. It's a well-planned, intuitive site, it almost always works and they make it easy for the customer to get what they want. I've been using Amazon for more than 5 years now to buy books, DVDs, music CDs and toys, and in more than a dozen orders I've never been disappointed with the goods or the service. That seems like a pretty good record to me. And Amazon helped to make my Christmas shopping a lot easier on my poor tired feet this year too! What do they sell? **************** ... 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

    4 Stars Fetch my hat I'm off to the Amazon! (Amazon.co.uk) 08/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wide choice of products, competitive prices, holding account for vouchers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Search facility that needs an overhaul

    Amazon is one of my favourite shopping websites - E-bay is number one, but Amazon probably falls a close second. One of the main reasons it's become such a favourite with me is that a lot of cashback sites & survey sites offer Amazon vouchers as a form of payout, and with Amazon it's easy to put your nicely earned gift vouchers into your account on the site and save them up for when you want them. I do this quite a lot and then have little spending spree's - often when we're low on cash proper and can't afford a treat that costs real money, we'll have a little shop on Amazon and spend a few ... more

    Advantages Advantages -

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    Introduction Today I've decided to write about one of my favourite websites. It’s already got tons of reviews, so mine will probably get lost in the crowd, but who cares. The web site in question is Amazon.co.uk About the Store Most of you will probably have heard of amazon already, either through using it yourself, or through the extensive advertising throughout the Internet. For those who don’t know, Amazon is an online store, but where many stores specialise in just one area, be it books, music, or beauty products, amazon has a much wider range of products. What do they sell? A better ... more

    3 Stars Shopping for Books (AGAIN!) on amazon.co.uk 10/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sells lots of books including out-of-print and limited editions; can't find it? Ask! Free SUPER SAVER DELIVERY now applies when purchase over £15 of "eligible products"

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I forget passwords and their re-verification proceedure is bewildering; items can be expensive; must CHOOSE Super Saver Delivery to receive it; SUPER SAVER DELIVERY you WAIT FOREVER

    * * * NEWS FLASH * * * * * * SUPERSAVER DELIVERY NOW ON ORDERS OVER £15 * * * This was my first ever review on "ciao!" written February 2004, when I was very frustrated at the site's verification procedures to process me through the checkout when I had forgotten the password I had set up some years previously. At the time, I only wrote about password verification and warned about the need to keep a note of the LAST 5 DIGITS of any card REGISTERED with AMAZON even if you have never made a purchase - and even if that card has subsequently EXPIRED, as the site will require this detail to verify ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great price comparison; prodcuct reviews, easy to use; cheap deals

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    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 *********** What I love about Amazon is that it remembers my previous orders or stuff that I've recently looked at. When you register (which is really simple) you can save all your bank details and postal address so you don't have to type it in again with every purchase you make. I have selected for the website to ... more
