shukriyya Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Reading all the responses in the 'no rush Amazon shipping' thread got me thinking about how Amazon has become such a fixture in my life, mainly because of the Prime two-day shipping option. And sure enough I did buy something today from Amazon, a kindle daily deal book for $1.99. How about you, WTMers, did you Amazon today?

kathy_overman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for reminding me to go checkout. Things often sit in my cart for days on end. Today, I ordered: Mod Podge, LED light to run in the dark, and Easy Spanish When feeling guilty, I remember it is almost always cheaper than a trip to Target.

Stacia Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Downloaded a free Kindle book. (Not sure why as I don't like reading ebooks.) Lol. FYI, for the purposes of this thread, I don't purchase things from amazon very often. About once every 3 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I order from them at least a few times a week -- and pretty much daily as it gets closer to Christmas. I definitely get my money's worth out of my Prime membership! And yes, I ordered something today, too. Just a few books. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Is it bad that I can't remember? I know I ordered something either yesterday or today, but either I'm on Amazon too much, or the days are running together, and I'm not sure... At any rate, I ordered a Lego: The Hobbit set for us to build when we finish reading the book. I'm thinking I may just steal the Thorin minifig for myself!

shukriyya Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I wonder how typical we are. It seems like most of the purchases on this thread weren't school-related. Here's a page with some interesting Amazon stats. I didn't realize they were 20 years old. They have 209 million users, 20 million of whom are Prime customers.

SilverMoon Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have two books (Harry Potter), a DVD (history documentary), and a supplement sitting in my cart at the moment.

KrissiK Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I did. Since dd is starting algebraic type stuff on math and not understanding it, I bought Balance Benders from Critical Thinking Co. It helped DS a lot, so I figured it would be good for her. I also got a package from them - a brayer and some ink. We're doing printmaking in art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I try not to use Amazon if I can help it these days. The company pays very little tax in the UK, through various legal but (to me) rather sneaky means, so I'd rather support companies that do pay tax. The last two purchases I made were through the website of a high street book shop, and a UK online-only classical music company. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I bought the Instant Pot directly from the company with a coupon from Hip Pressure Cooking (it was $10 off) that made it less than Amazon; I'm not sure it's cheaper anymore but their current coupon is $50 off $174.95 or something. http://www.hippressurecooking.com/instant-pot-ip-lux-lid-discount/ I was using it for a while but haven't lately. Maybe with the cool weather? Hmm Warning: the gasket (rubbery thing) holds smells. I wrote to the company and they admitted it does that and suggested I buy another one (and swap depending on use, I guess). None of the soaking and cleaning ideas I had really worked; after making some vege stew, it really smelled like onions and spices. I don't have this problem with other pressure cookers; not sure what that's about. Just wanted to mention it. I got sick of Amazon's slow shipping and have been ordering from Barnes & Noble instead to avoid the $35 orders (because I am a member) and because they charge tax, which helps me out at tax time. I also buy occasionally from Book Depository and buy a fair amount used. Anyway the last order I bought from Amazon was free shipping but shipped much quicker than usual! I was surprised.
