I actually have never had a bad experience with Amazon. Then again, I pay about $300 a year to have my items shipped to a rent-a-mailbox store, mainly so I can have a public mailing address for things like domain registrations and my online resume. Also: I usually buy the really expensive stuff from B&H, mainly because they have lower prices than Amazon (they have an in-store credit card which pays the tax for you), and have never had a problem with them. Who I have had issues with is eBay; I have at least twice received counterfeit lower-quality goods from them, such as the time I got an obvious pirated and burned Blu-Ray when ordering a movie.
