Amazon

[Hibbyradge]

There was some discussion about Amazon on a thread about something else but I can't find it so I thought I'd start another to discuss its merits or otherwise.

I haven't watched any of the documentary series about the company but I understand that there are folk who buy from them without shopping around first.

I always hunt for the best deals, but often Amazon are cheapest and I have no qualms about using them.

At 1.00pm yesterday, I bought a George Foreman grill. Removable plates, floating hinge the lot. It cost £45, but if anyone can rub my nose in it by finding a cheaper one, the serial number is 24330.

It was due for delivery tomorrow, but it arrived at 10.02am, only 21 hours after I clicked on "confirm". Because I have Prime, delivery was free.

That's a brilliant service.

PS I just checked, the price seems to have risen since yesterday. It's now £59.78. Strange, but I'm delighted. 😁

So, my question is, why are people calling for a boycott of Amazon?
