Big Shopping Portals Not Always Best
To be honest I do not get sufficient information from the review sites. They do not always break down the items I am seeking by price and they have too many time consuming pages to cover. At times when I enter the search item it is not specific enough and leads me to unwanted items. That is not to say that I do not do big brand online shopping. In fact I do just about all of my shopping via the internet by big brand online shopping.
In the past I have spent a lot of money at Amazon.com. Their website is superb and I cannot think of a negative aspect to it. If searching books, there is no comparison in the prices between Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble online. Even with the recently charged NY sales tax, Amazon. com is cheaper. Only if you pay Barnes and Noble upfront with the purchase of their discount card will the prices equalize. It is simply not worth it. Amazon. com stands by their products, give timely refunds and if you have a problem with their affiliate sellers, they will take responsibility and resolve the problem.
Walmart. com is another site I purchase from often, since there are no brick and mortar Wal-Mart’s nearby. My only complaint is that their product search is not sensitive enough and sometimes I have to enter different search words. I recommended that they change the product reviews because I believe they do not have a proper set of questions set up. Apart from these criticisms Walmart.com is fantastic to shop at. Very low shipping prices and surprisingly high quality goods for the most part. Super fast delivery goes with Walmart.com.
Even though some things are tough to size online, like gloves, I do just about all my purchasing online. That does not mean I do not leave the house. On the contrary purchasing online leaves me more time to do other things. Honorable mention goes to Famousfootwear.com. They have brick and mortar stores too. Their selection online is immense. In addition there are some motorcycle sites from which I make my purchases. These too get honorable mentions. They are Jafrum.com, Motorcyclesuperstore.com and Motodirectusa.com
