I don't have access to amazon at all, ao don't get the rave about amazon itself either.
In the US it’s basically the everything store with fairly competitive pricing and very fast shipping. It’s very convenient if nothing else.
I can get basically anything I want at cheaper prices than locally available by the next day. I can get an increasing amount of things delivered to me same day as well which is pretty nice. The return policy is also a big part of it. There’s basically no fuss or questions asked for anything you want a refund on. You don’t even have to put it in a box, you can just drop it off at the UPS store.
They’re evil, but it’s pretty great from a user perspective.
The return policy is really what seals it for me. I've never had an issue with returning something, ever.
Other places make it such a hassle and make you pay to return it.
