Re: What is your favorite online store (s) ? Nov 9, 2007 10:58 AM
Amazon.com
They usually have what I need; the site is very functional and easy to search; every item displays with extensive product information (including photos, technical specs, customer reviews); you can tell up front whether an item is in stock and how soon it can ship (i.e., you don't have to add it to a cart - or worse yet, buy it - only to learn it's backordered); they often have the lowest price (and when they don't, they give you options including links to the cheaper providers); they offer free 2-day shipping and $3.99 overnight shipping in the "prime" program; there's no sales tax on purchases shipped here; there are very few errors or problems (and when problems did occur, I just sent quick e-mails and they corrected them immediately without hassle, and then confirmed that I was satisfied); they have the buy now with "1-Click" (I find the item, click a button, and I'm done); they send e-mails for both order confirmation and shipment confirmation; it's easy to sign-on and track "Where's my stuff?"; items are well packaged (I've never had to return anything due to shipping damage).
