Likewise. It's an unusual day we don't get something from Amazon.I ordera few times a week from Amazon. I live in a remote area and if it's cheaper on Amazon I'm quite happy to use them. I'm glad they keep my details and make it so easy to order.

we use Amazon rarely.......
they have almost KILLED the opposition......
I use Amazon a lot. In fact, if they did groceries, I doubt I would ever leave the house again.
Ever tried to get a delivery slot?Not heard of Tesco's deliveries?
yes -sneaky though they are, they dont quibble about refunds for prime IMEA call or chat to Amazon and they will cancel the Prime membership and refund your fee, assuming you haven’t used the Prime benefits yet. I had to do this when I found out they had charged a duplicate Prime membership when I trialled the business account. It was absolutely no problem to get the refund.
We get Tescos deliveries every week -my wife books it at 6.30am for the furthest ahead that can be booked -with their super delivery saver, you also get an extra week.Ever tried to get a delivery slot?
We had problems for a few months last year, but none in the last few months. We try to keep a month head. We've had Morrison's deliveries as well - they were easier to get - but they're not so reliable and their time keeping is dreadful (route planning is foreign to them).Ever tried to get a delivery slot?
I have mixed views on Amazon and agree with our commentsI was looking for a wheel for my bike on Amazon. Found one at £68, but didn't buy it. I decided to try rebuilding a new wheel using an old rim. Day later, I gave up trying to build the wheel, the rim was too far out of shape, so i went back to Amazon to buy the wheel. To my disgust, it was now £80+ I hunted for the one at £65. Nowhere to be found, so I tried with Firefox rather than Chrome. I have Firefox set to clear all cookies on exit and it doesn't sign me into Amazon automatically, Straight away I found the £65 wheel,
Globalisation of trade has led to a new problem: taxation.I think a lot of what is wrong with Amazon could be fixed with a tweak to national policy on employment rights and how rates are calculated
and meYup. I had to do same as Phil.
They don't just do their best, Phil, they drive the conversation with HMRC. Amazon have better tax experts than the Treasury, better tax lawyers than the Treasury and they are better politicians than our politicians, too. HMRC have a team dedicated to Amazon which, when you consider how little Amazon pay the UK (the last time I bothered to check I think it was around the £30 million mark), shows how much Amazon frightens them. Very few other businesses have that sort of clout (Apple, Google, etc, obvious exceptions) and small businesses have no chance (and are often targeted as 'low hanging fruit' by HMRC).They don't "play the system", they do perfectly legally what the law allows. They do their best to mitigate any taxes paid, as should every business. Businesses don't exist to suit the government.
Best thing is if your in doubt stick it in your basket, maybe then click save for later, they will then update you on price changes in your basket and possibly offer you a lightning deal or voucher. Vouchers recently have been good for just 15 minutes but they can be restarted, sometimes, by taking the item out of your basket and adding it again. They certainly are not always the cheapest but depending on what your buying, sometimes they are, and their customer service is great. I rarely buy tools from Amazon as almost always they are cheaper elsewhereI was looking for a wheel for my bike on Amazon. Found one at £68, but didn't buy it.

Amazon would not let me see the £65 wheel when signed in with my details on Chrome. I eventually had to sign in using Firefox to be able to buy it.
