My wife shops on Amazon several times a week - much easier than dragging the kids around town and stores. On top of that, we like the rating system on Amazon. Easy to tell you are getting a great product when it’s rated 4 stars or better by a few thousand people.
I even look at the Amazon ratings on products when I am at a retail store and price compare before I buy. Amazon is sometimes cheaper and every so often you can find the same thing for 50% less than the retail store wants for it.
“I even look at the Amazon ratings “
About a month ago I ordered a cordless mouse through Amazon.
It was shipped by the retailer,not Amazon,and they shipped overnight-——which I had not ordered.
I was upset until I opened the package and they said,in a note,that the express shipping was a gift and would I please remember to go on-line and rate the transaction.
The product was just as I ordered,well packaged and I gave them five stars.
