| We must have all used it / looked on it at some point But I'm realising just how much I've bought on it! And I've only just figured out you can collect nectar points through them too ! It pays to shop around, especially to see if there are offers on for your purchases, Amazon is not always cheapest but to be fair, if often is! Over the past years I've had one gripe; of a book ordered that they kept delaying - it said "in stock" when I bought it, then they said another 10-14days, then they said another 20+ days after that and they didn't even dignify my moaning e-mail to them about it with a response, so I cancelled it. BUT I have also had some great bargains - this is the one that springs to mind, I got it for £2.05: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gift-House-International-GH-YM255-Massager/dp/B000XSVGJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291634654&sr=8-1 And even our car seat was from there and £20 less than halfords (where we'd gone initially for trial fitting). Plus I ordered a Wiggles book for bean this Christmas and it said 20-24 days or something for delivery and got dispatched within a week - was very pleased and it made up for the other experience! Just be careful of Amazon reviews - it's useful but I suspect rife with manufacturer's / sellers / marketplace owners and affiliates reviews. I once said an item was useless for my intended purpose (but maybe had other uses) and gave 2 stars - and got 3 "unhelpful" marks in a very short space of time?! Wasn't even a popular item!! How it was unhelpful to say what my experience was, I don't know but needless to say I can't really be naffed leaving reviews on there now. Also, just a note of interest, amazon.com often has different reviews and for things like books has 'look inside' which is sometimes useful as it's different from, and additional to, the .co.uk site. xx |

| I've only ever done marketplace about 2/3 times Meg, I'm a stickler for free delivery Lisa is there a way to buy through banda and through nectar? Am annoyed that you can't just put your details in (nectar card num - hardly use the thing anyway!) on amazon or ebay - you have to go to nectar then follow a link. Yet I spend more money on those than anywhere else and certainly more than sainsbury's itself!! xx |

| Don't enter details (would be easier if you could - i.e. just put your nectar number with address etc on amazon account?! but noooooo....) instead you have to log in to Nectar website - then follow their link - which takes you to Amazon... |

| I love amazon! I have to stop myself coz if it says "FREE SUPER SAVER DELIVERY" I think it's a bargain no matter what the price is I didn't know the link was on here either - sorry Lisa I'm another nectar user though and generally go through them as we love our nectar card. I have bought loads from amazon and can honestly say I have never had a problem with any product or delivery etc xx |
