Amazon doesn't make anything , it's a clearing house for suppliers, they have no product line. Find something you are interested in look at the company brand supplying it and then do some googling to find out what you need to know outside amazon. Simple stupid......

 

I have bought name-brand stuff from Amazon. I also buy stuff where there is no brand-name equivalent. I just make sure the description mentions a manufacturer, part number, and it's pictured or described as I need it. That way, if it's not an actual name-brand part, or not what was depicted, Amazon will honor your return for an item not matching it's description, and will pay return shipping...

For example, I needed to find sealed passing lamps for my '03 Heritage, since the MoCo no longer makes them. I found some on Amazon with free shipping, and a good price. The picture showed it had both screw and spade terminals, just like OEM. When I got it, it had screw terminals, but no spade terminals. I didn't feel like modifying my OEM wiring (which had spade terminals) and requested a refund, reason: item not as described. I described the problem, and they sent me a return label and promptly refunded my money when the item was delivered to the vendor.

Amazon has always been quick to respond to any concern or to handle any order problems. I use them quite frequently. I joined Amazon Prime, and what I save in shipping is way more than the cost of the Prime membership. Additionally, as a prime member, I frequently get free 2-day shipping... But I always shop around, even with the free 2-day shipping, Amazon is not always the best deal......

I don't know about any employee issues, but I had a nephew work at an Amazon warehouse. He was well-paid, had good benefits, and had a few promotions during his tenure there. He decided to resign (I told him not to resign until he had another job, but what do I know...), to look for a job closer to home. He hasn't found an equivalent pay/benefits/opportunity warehouse job since he left Amazon.....

 

Amazon uses several mail & delivery services including a couple flavors of their own in house services which suck *****, Amal or Azal flub's 1 out of 4 deliveries, I've seen them delivering around here out of a rented Uhaul van before. You can get around this by spending some time playing the phone game with customer service and getting a live voice on the other end next time they miss a delivery. Specifically tell them you will only accept USPS or UPS deliveries do not use their in house carriers and you can specify where they leave the package on your property.

 

Hilarious!

 

Yeah i was pretty sure there werent any Amazon made parts, thats why i said there are accessories on amazon and i am looking for input from people that have bought from amazon.

I had to edit this. I didnt mean for it to appear so snippy..... I read the reviews of products before i purchase and im hoping maybe if people here have bought items they could comment on how it was great but it turned into crap later or over time it didnt last....those kind of answers

 

I used Amazon with with complete satisfaction ... As Dan says they don't make anything ( except money ) ... If you want something specific regarding product contact the manufacturer

 

its ok to be snippy....Capt Obvious wouldn't
catch on to it anyway..... haha

 

i think you need to reference a specific item you are interested in ,,,, regardless of where its for sale.... and look for input then..... guys that actually have /bought the part will then chime in....... otherwise you're gonna get some poster that wants to tell you how Amazon works....

 

With today's roaring economy at least if the employees are being abused they can move on.

 

Virtually everything I buy comes from Amazon, Ebay, or Walmart...Wallyworld will now deliver for $10 ...at some point I will no reason to leave the house...
