I can’t believe I’ve been using Amazon for over a decade. And that Amazon still maintains records online that I can access to see what I’ve purchased by year. (I also know that they keep this information in order to try to sell me similar items based on past purchases.)
Before they started cracking down on giving tax information, they were the go-​to place to buy things cheaply, quickly, and reliably. Unless I was buying used books or through an affiliate seller, the items I bought that Amazon had in stock were virtually new and as described.
I’ve bought everything from books to clothes to live plants to sewing machines to vacuum cleaners. Often times products that were expected to deliver in 5 – 9 business days came to me on the 3^rd or 4^th day.
I even used Amazon for business at one point — a kind rep helped me set up a separate account each time my boss had me look into buying used items from the competition. When I used to work with books, I routinely looked up products on Amazon because searching their database was more intuitive than the clunky programs we were saddled with.
I have also used Amazon just to enhance my random internet searches. Amazon reviewers often give great feedback when I research items to buy.
