amazon.co.uk Reviews

My first shopping experience here was onlt due to the fact that I had been given a gift voucher; I was pleasantly surprised to see that most recent fiction is much cheaper than you can find it in the shops - typically around half price which is exceptionally good. There doesn't really seem to eb much difference in CDs. Whilst ...  Read the complete review

this is one of my favourite sites, i use it to buy books, videos, dvd, and cds, there is also auctions on amazon. One of the best features is taht you can listen to samples of music before you buy to make sure it is worth buying an album, for more than just one song. It has a huge selection of books, and has a search facility if ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a fan of Amazon.co.uk. although I've order a fair bit from them. Their site is very impressive, easy to search and they have a large range of books, CD's, videos and now DVD's. Their service is very good, I've never had any problems with that. However, I don't like their prices, compared to other on-line ...  Read the complete review

Although the internet provides a marketplace open 24 hours, 7 days a week, it amazes me how many e-tailers only seem to have staff duty to deal with orders during office hours Monday to Friday, but Amazon takes advantage of the 24 hour business world created by the internet. On Saturday, at 19.05, I ordered two books from ...  Read the complete review

Amazon have helped me track down material which would have been nigh on inaccessible previously, which can only be a good thing - and it usually turns up within a couple of days, if not the very next day. What you save on the discount, however, is generally more than made up for in the postage and packing charges, and I haven't ...  Read the complete review

HAVING USED BOTH THE U.K. AND U.S.A. SITE, I FOUND THEM VERY EASY TO USE. WHEN WANTING A CERTAIN TITLE IT WAS QUICKER TO ORDER WITH AMAZON [U.K.], THEN GO INTO THE LOCAL BOOK SHOPS. THEY HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CLAIM TWO LOTS OF GIFT VOUCHERS, VERY EASY TO USE. BEST OF ALL THEY ARE SO QUICK. IT IS SENT BY ...  Read the complete review

A great way to purchase books though I found ordering whilst using a gift voucher did have inbuilt problems! I began placing an order, quoted my gift voucher number but then aborted the order. I then found it impossible to reactivate my gift voucher but after several e-mails with Amazon I was delighted to be told they had reissued my ...  Read the complete review

Amazon is one of the most hyped shopping sites on the net, and it does have some things going for it. Its catalogue of books and other items is massive, particulary if you are looking for an american title which has not been released over here. However it is definately not the cheapest. I recommend using Amazon to search for that ...  Read the complete review

Amazon.co.uk has many things going for it...a good website that's easy to navigate your way around and find what you're looking for; a huge range of stock and excellent (in my experience) customer service. Whenever I have ordered books from them, they've arrived in a couple of days at the most. However, although the price ...  Read the complete review

Amazon is a very sweet site. A real example of a site that was first to market, an innovator and the force to be reckoned with. A vast array of books gives the user a mind boggling array of titles to choose from, but this is far from swamping. The software that amazon have written to suggest book from what it knows about you is ...  Read the complete review

I mainly but CD's from Amazon.co.uk and for some reason it doesn't seem to have the same stock as its parent organisation Amazon.com. In fact it is sometimes quicker (perversely) to order things from the American-based site rather than wait for them to come into the UK site. I understand that like any retail store that stuff ...  Read the complete review

Probably the most well known online shopping store, or at least its sister store amazon.com is. A huge range of books, and also CD's and Videos. It is relatively easy to search for what you want but it does tend to bring back many more books than you need, even if you are specific with your keywords. The service is quick and ...  Read the complete review
