Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Good easy shopping experience
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction This is an online retailing website that sells a vast array of books, electronic consumer items, dvds and other household goods. I have used amazon.co.uk in buying a laptop, dvds, as well as buying seeds for flowers online. I find the payment processing system to be hassle free, though I perhaps do not like to keep re entering my password the button pushing is very straightforward in placing and paying for a small order. I have had one experience of using the customer service support line which was used in order to chase up an order which to be honest re assured me that my laptop was on its way to my address. On Amazon I do like that the fact that I can add gift vouchers which I earned on some survey websites including valuedopinions to my gift card balance. I am happy with the searching of the products as a whole...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ 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 Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case 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...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide choice and easy to use
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 feature I really like about Amazon is the suggestions that appear on screen, you can see what other people who brought the product you are viewing also looked at, so if you have similar tastes, might show you a great product to go with what...

Amazon.co.uk review

Advantages: Inviting, helpful, good site layout
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest for certain things

...'s actually like to live with the product. There's also an option for a wish list, so you can keep a list of things you want to buy later, which saves a lot of time keeping everything into one compact list instead of having to look around the whole site when you actually want to buy more than one thing. I've been ordering from amazon.co.uk for years now, and from what I can remember I've only had one thing arrive late, which I e-mailed amazon about and they gave me a £5 gift voucher. I would recommend it as a very safe, secure site to use. The prices are very good but sometimes you can get things cheaper elsewhere, but it's usually not a huge amount of money. Overall a very good site to use with a good layout, lots of helpful information and a myriad of items to choose from....

...Basics Amazon started out as an online bookshop, now they sell a huge range of products, from music to watches!

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Easy shopping trip
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Amazon.co.uk many times and have never been let down by them. When you click on www.amazon.co.uk you are greeted with a well presented home page, offering many different items, from books to television. **THE LOOK OF THE SITE** The site is well laid out and everything is split into categories depending on what you are looking for. Or you can narrow your search by typing in exactly what you're looking for. I found the site easy to navigate and simple to find a wide choice of items I was looking for. **BECOMING A MEMBER** This is a simple task and only takes a matter of minutes. You click on 'new customer? start here and are instantly taken to the 'sign in page. (If you are already a member you simply input your e-mail address and password) If not then you should click on the 'no, I am a new customer.' Then you...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Great prices, free postage on Amazon orders over £5, easy to sell
Disadvantages: Marketplace could be better, hard to use both buyer and seller help

...I have been on Amazon for 6 months now, both buying and selling. It's a brilliant site and I'd recommend it to anyone who buys things over the internet as it's really easy to use and they have some great prices, although postage is quite high for some items. It's also great for selling stuff as it provides sellers with a storefront and gives products plenty of exposure although you have to be a pro merchant in order to take full advantage of the seller account. Here is what I will be reviewing: * Buying stuff on Amazon * Marketplace * Postage costs * MP3 downloads * Selling stuff on Amazon * Help Buying stuff on Amazon Finding the right item is really easy. Amazon have an excellent search facility which allows buyers to look for exactly what they want. However, it can be quite hard to find something if you don't know...

Amazon.co.uk - UPDATE

Advantages: Good service
Disadvantages: One bad expierence!

...Introduction ~ Amazon.co.uk, part of Amazon.com is probably one of the best known online shops on the net. Amazon.co.uk originally only sold books but now has a wide range of books, videos, DVD’s and CD’s. They have a limited range of palmtops, psions and mp3 players too. Service ~ When shopping online service is one of the most important things Amazon’s service is fantastic. As soon as you buy a product you receive an e-mail confirming that, when your product has been shipped you will again be sent an e-mail. Amazon.co.uk also have a freephone helpline which is open between 9am and 5pm. This is a great feature which makes Amazon feel like a normal shop. Though when I did phone it the person I spoke to had an American accent. Perhaps calls go to USA, though my query was dealt with efficiently. Prices...
