I’m an Amazon.com addict. I have to admit it, I love Amazon.com! Any time I need to find a book, or any other item, I can find it at half of the price and even less than that if I look hard enough. The last five purchases I have made have come from the Amazon website and my purchases are always shipped and delivered in a very timely manner. The first time I ever made a purchase from Amazon.com, I was amazed at how quickly I received my purchase in the mail. I have always been the type of person to be vendor loyal. If you screw me over once, I can find someone else who won’t.
There are many on line sites to purchase books from. From Barnes& Noble, to Borders, to Half.com. I have found that Amazon.com is my favorite on line source to buy books. I don’t always need a book that is in perfect condition. It can be gently used with a little wear and tear and I am personally okay with that. As long as the text is not damaged and the cover and binding are in pretty good shape, I am happy. With Amazon.com, I have found that most of the items I have purchased have been in mint condition. You would never know these items have been used before. Most of the items available are in like new condition and that is a plus in my book. If you don’t want to pay full price for a book, give Amazon.com a try. The search engine makes shopping easy and fun. Somehow the website is designed to track your searches and to create a list of similar items that you as a consumer might enjoy. I don’t know of too many other places that put that much effort into what YOU like. Sure…if you want to sell me something, know who I am and what I am looking for. That is one of the reasons I love Amazon.com.
Now, don’t get me wrong…I do love going into a bookstore and perusing through the shelves of endless books while smelling the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. There is something all together unique about the bookstore experience and I love it as much as the next person, but if I am buying on line, Amazon.com is my first choice.
I love Amazon.com for many reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I am addicted to Amazon.com!!!
1. Products-You can find just about anything on their website. From supplements, to books, to electronics, toys and more….Whatever you are looking for-they probably have it. If they don’t have it…they will direct you to another site that will have the item you are looking for(in most cases).
2. The price is right- You can choose your item based on condition and price. If you don’t mind have a book with a little use or wear and tear…you can get these items at a fraction of the original cost.
3. Shipping- When you place an order the packaging and shipping on these items is fast and user friendly. With the one-click option you can order and have the item shipped out within twenty four hours.
4. Amazon tracking- Amazon.com tracks your purchases, your most recent orders, and searches to compile a list of items that may be of interest to you. I really like this feature because it will lead me to other authors that may write in a similar style of my preferred author. If you like a certain genre of writing this little tracking tool will group together a list of items that might appeal to you. It is a really good way to find new books that you may have overlooked before.
5. Feedback-Amazon has great feedback and follow up options, connecting you with the seller and their customer service department. If you need to talk to someone one on one, this option is available to you. No more dealing with an automated system…you can actually talk to a real live person!!! Who would have thought a big on line site like Amazon would have such great customer support?
So if you are new to the on line purchase experience, you can rest assured knowing that Amazon.com looks out for its customers as a number one priority. Secure checkouts are a must and for a quick checkout experience you can use the one-click option(which I have grown very accustomed to!). You will not be disappointed with the service and care provided by Amazon.com
