Way to Go Amazon!Jan 03 '01 Write an essay on this topic.I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of Amazon.com during this holiday season. After the reports from how poorly the dot.coms had performed last Christmas, this year I was just a bit cautious. I had used Amazon.com in the past for one-book orders, but never for something substantial. I had done my window shopping at a local Barnes and Noble and had looked at the books and reviewed them carefully, jotting down the titles and prices, and found that I would have paid $150 including tax to make my purchase in the store. I then set out for my "chance" to see if Amazon would make or break my Christmas and was just as pleased as can be. First, my cost was $104 instead of $150. Second, I ordered before Dec 10th and received their free shipping for orders over $100. Third, I was assured that I would have the order before Christmas. Prior Amazon.com orders had been here within 3 or 4 days and Amazon.com delivered this time as well. I had wanted everything delivered at once, but they wanted to send them as they were available (even if it cost extra) so that i would have as much as I could get by Christmas. The first package arrived within 3 days and the whole order was in by the fifth day. One problem that I have noticed with a few dot.com orders is the poor packing job. Amazon had plenty of plastic air bubles and had even shrink wrapped a "mini-pallet" for the large part of the order and everything arrived as expected. Great job! Highly recommended!  |
