Amazon is cool but I feel like they're the defective products or not original.

I've only ordered supplements from there, but I've learned my lesson not to. It seems to be watered down, no Bueno.

Wise words... I do not trust supplements on Amazon - no creatine no protein no nada... Won't even do vitamins... You can probably add beauty products on that list as well... Especially items that go bad like creams and even perfumes / colognes...

I will say Amazon is pretty damn good about removing sellers / vendors immediately if they are reported to sell knockoffs... I had a friend of mine jump on one of those Amazon Local deals for a supposed sonic care toothbrushes - turned out to be a no name brand... Immediate refund of money including shipping, removed selling privileges of that company and even told him to keep the toothbrush...

That's strange, I've always received items from Newegg within 3 days of ordering.

Gotta be careful on ordering some products off Amazon. Like sometimes the micro SD cards are fake...they still work but the write times are garbage.

Also Amazon is a grey market dealer for watches. Meaning that what they sell is most likely authentic but since they are not an authorized retailer for many brands, if you have to send it back to say Tissot... they will not warranty it because Amazon is not an authorized retailer.

I ordered a new laptop from the Apple store, they called me 15 minutes later to confirm the order (different billing/shipping address), and 25 minutes after that I got a delivery text message.

Amazon prime's never been quite THAT fast, I was blown away. Even their 1 hour thing for laundry detergent and whatnot...meh I don't think I've ever had an urgent need for laundry detergent, but if they ever make one of those little 1 button clickers for "shit, I need more condoms" I'm sold.

Amazon has gotten so much better. The owner of the company I work for asked about it during our holiday dinner yesterday: "Do any of you have Amazon Prime? I'm addicted! Their shipping is so quick!"

It was so random and I told him about this post lol

Amazon took over the world! have issues? chat live with them and theyll take care of your ass asap to the point where you have to brag about the experience with a hot female friend. took longer the the guarantee delievery date? theyll credit you some cash towards your next purchase. They even have a handcrafted made in usa section which pissed off etsy lol. i wouldnt be surprised by 2018 theyll have 30min shipping as if its pizza.

It's pretty erratic, barely on the day they promise, giving me credits and extend prime memberships on delays. Same day delivery or even Next day delivery is not reliable for us here. I would prefer that they under promise and over deliver liked they used to years ago.
