skinink: And even returning things through Amazon is easy. The original leather jacket had a flaw. When I contacted Amazon about it, they sent me a replacement jacket and gave me 30 days to return the defective one before I was charged for both. Lately if I need something, the first place I look for an item is on Amazon, then compare prices from there. It's been a few times when they didn't have the lowest price.

Honestly the ease of returns with them for me was probably the final straw with buying anything in a brick and mortar store. In terms of the time involved for me to be personally involved with the return/exchange it's faster to go with Amazon then go wait in line at Best Buy.

My first Fire had a dead pixel that I first noticed about a month after I bought it. I called them, spoke with an actual human who at least sounded sorry for the problem, and they shipped me a new one no questions asked and simply requested I return the bad one within 30 days using the shipping package the new one came in. Aside from the phonecall the only other thing I needed to do was drop it off at a UPS store which took all of about 30 seconds.

I bought a canister filter for my salt water aquarium. Giant ass thing. Anyway, after about a week of using it I decided it wasn't going to cut it. They took it back no questions asked and refunded the cost.

Amazon is absolutely the only store/retailer/whatever about which I can honestly say I've never had a single problem. And given the amount my wife and I use them I find that to be amazing.
