Also, read the reviews. Sometimes people will one star an item they did buy but give the most pathetic review that doesn't explain their review.

A while back I was looking at some stainless steel kitchen tools. One of the reviews said "Did not like this. It was stainless steel. I wanted silicone!" The item stated it was made of 18/10 stainless steel in the title, description and manufacturer notes. They don't make silicone tools.

Makes me want to pray for humanity. :confused:
Yeah, well the smartest species on the planet, still needs some work. o_O

I really don't like Amazon's in house delivery service. Twice now in two months did an item not get delivered when it was supposed to, but I guess in order to show corporate they did make it, it will go to out for delivery to delivered in two minutes, but won't be delivered 1-2 days after the fact.....

I recentry ordered the small iPod (32GB) through Amazon, then after it was shipped, but before delivery, I decided I needed the medium one so I cancelled the order. It was cancelled without issue, and was reversed during shipping. The 128GB model is due on Tuesday. :)

Sometimes you realize that you have to add an item and you need to cancel and recreate the whole order, which might have an effect on pricing or availability. It would be better if one could just expand it.

Had good and bad experiences in there. Depends whom you run into I suppose. I plan to have a few listings on there this year

I think a lot of people buy there when they could find better offers elsewhere.

Lots of old stuff being sold on amazon US.
