Reply to: Addicted to Amazon

[darmstadt]

I use it occasionally but I'm one of those sad gits who believes in actually going into a shop and having a personal encounter with the shop assistant. I particularly believe in my local little shops and very often they're cheaper and if I do have a problem, I just need to pop around the corner. I find Amazon okay for those hard to find things plus its a bit difficult buying presents for the family and trying to explain what the package is that has just been delivered...

Amazon has stopped free delivery to the Netherlands and I'm peed off big time!

Well, I got a box of 10 Huggies baby wipes for £7.39, which is pretty damn good.

Looking at my last order, I got 156 size three Pampers and 132 size fives for £30 in total.

I didn't realise Suity worked for Qdos.

Except I usually buy things in massive batches and then I see the delivery driver going next door....

Mine does the same.

If I'm in I then get their parcels and I'm sure it works the other way round.

You get free kindle book rentals as well

Use Amazon a fair bit although I brought a dehumidifier at a local hardware store last summer and it was cheaper than I could find on the internet after adding postage.

You get lots of discounts if you subscribe. I think it was under £7 on Amazon and around £11 at Tesco.

I tried but annoyingly it only seems to be available for actual Kindles, whereas I use the Kindle app on my iPad.

I love Prime - I have two children in nappies.

You can also have multiple Prime addresses, so I have e.g. my parents. If they want stuff, I order it, it gets delivered to them next day and free of charge. They send me the money. everyone wins.

One other cool feature is that you can invite other people at your address (I think only at your address anyway) to use your Prime too, so your wife doesn't have to buy your gifts from your own account... I invited my Amazon business account which is a real boon as I prefer buying work stuff separately.

Sadly though, your invitees cannot access Instant Video or Lending Library, only the free delivery.

I bet the mother was happy with the quick delivery.

I keep meaning to but never figured out how exactly it worked. I looked when we first tried Prime out but couldn't see any books I actually wanted. That was a couple of years ago though; if it's better that could add real value.

or specialist online stores like whisky, etc.

It's the cheapest place I've found to get this:

Barstewards stopped doing free super saver delivery to cloggers

Consider most of the cook books I order are pretty heavy it saved a fortune and English language books here in cloggers are well expensive.
