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...

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

...The entire amazon company is probably one of the best know, most used and most visited websites on the internet. It was one of the first major companies to sell goods over the net and was one of the companies that survived the dot com bubble burst of the late 90's. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994, and went online the following year. At first it was just selling books, but soon started to sell video tapes, CD's, video games and, eventually, DVD's. Now it has websites for the UK (which I'll be reviewing here), Japan, Germany, France and China. When you get to the front page, you'll notice that is very inviting. Lots of bright colours set on a white background makes the site look very clear. It doesn't feel cluttered though, even though there is a lot to look at, everything is well organized. From here you can choose from...

Shopping for Books (AGAIN!) on amazon.co.uk

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: 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

...March 2004. I took on board the comments particularly that, although there are MANY reviews of the site, a "prospective buyer" will not want to read HUNDREDS of reviews to get the information they require, so EACH review should be as informative as possible and include all essential information. Many people associate AMAZON with Entertainment Media (Books, CDs, Films. Games) and are surprised to realise that Amazon.co.uk is now MUCH MORE. As my TITLE clearly states that I am discussing the purchase of BOOKS on AMAZON, I will be discussing THIS in much more detail. However, it is worth noting that AMAZON have been expanding their range, so I will include brief details of what is available. The website has a brand new featured category link (featured in turn as you change pages) in the top corner of the page to entice you to explore...

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...

Myvoice.co.uk

Advantages: Short Surveys, Well Rewarded, Quickly Recieved Voucher
Disadvantages: No Amazon

...~~~ What is it ~~~ Myvoice.co.uk is yet another survey site. There are lots out there and very few are worth participating in, this is one of the few that you should sign-up to. ~~~ Site ~~~ The website is easily navigated. Your point balance is clearly shown in the top right corner and on the left is all the various sections of the websites like the section to redeem your voucher, change your details, Customer support (I've had no need to contact) etc. It nicely laid out and looks like some time has been taken to make it look nice and professional. Pages also load at a decent speed. ~~~ Surveys ~~~ The surveys I receive from here aren't really like similar sites like Valued Opinions and GlobalTestMarket. The surveys are usually only a few questions long, rewarding you fairly for your time. There are also longer...

Amazon UK

Advantages: free shipping, huge catalog, reliable
Disadvantages: marketplace shipping (not really amazon's fault)

...Amazon started in the USA is 1995 as an online bookstore. It soon diversified and over the years added many new products such as DVDs and video games. Amazon is now established in a wide variety of countries. When you visit "www.amazon.co.uk" you are greeted with their clean and useful homepage. In includes a few of their many great deals available at the current time and featured products. If you have registered with Amazon and already bought some stuff it also recommends products you may be interested in. This feature works well and I have found myself buying things it has recommended on a few occasions. The categories are listed down the left side of the page. You can perform searches of the whole website or specific sections from the homepage as well. Amazon has many categories and a vast quantity of products listed on their...

tfl.gov.uk

Advantages: A great website for anyone in London
Disadvantages: None!

...Anyone who's ever been stuck on a tube or in a traffic jam in the capital, for no seemingly apparent reason at times, will know that Transport for London can be a frustrating industry. But credit where credit's due; their website - tfl.gov.uk - provides you with all the details you need to know, regardless of whether you're going by tube, bus, DLR, tram, river or even on foot. The home page gives you a plethora of information that can seem a little daunting to first time users - the index running along the top of the page is predominantly what you'll be looking for - Live Travel News, Getting Around and Tickets. Also on the homepage are the statuses of all the London Underground lines, warning you of any closures or delays, various strategies being run by TFL at present - "Cycle Friday" is on the website as I type, and the ability to...

photobox.co.uk

Advantages: An excellent service
Disadvantages: Costs a small amount of money

...Here's a cheeky little website for those of you without a decent printer to print off digital camera photos...photobox.co.uk - a website which will print them for you. With the invention of the digital camera, the majority of photo albums have been consigned to Facebook, or on the "My Documents" section of your computer rather than the more traditional ones hidden away on bookcases until the time comes to embarrass friends or loved ones, but this website will print out any photos you wish, even saved from Facebook, and continue this aged old tradition!! But why bother paying to have someone simply print out your own photos?? Isn't that one of the great differences of a digital camera and a disposable one? Well, to get you hooked, the website offers 40 free photos when you sign up - a great reason to join as I used it to print off...
