I’ve only had good experiences with their site and products sold on it. They do seem mixed up internally though. They’re probably going to have to treat their staff better and restructure.

I am surprised by all the negative experiences with knock-offs and fakes people talk about online. I spend a few grand on Amazon every year, and I've literally never bought something and received a fake instead.

  >I am surprised by all the negative experiences with knock-offs and fakes people talk about online. I spend a few grand on Amazon every year, and I've literally never bought something and received a fake instead. I've had several issues (<5) with either fake (USB keys not having the advertised capacity) or the wrong product (stupid baubles like this[0]) as compared with the hundreds of products I've purchased from Amazon over the years. I've also had deliveries stolen from my apartment building lobby a bunch of times too. Amazon has either refunded, replaced or otherwise made me whole every single time. Perhaps that's because of the stuff I buy, although that really runs the gamut from hard drives to phones to British foods to monitors to TVs to clothes and all manner of other stuff too. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe, like most people, folks with an axe to grind (legitimate ones I'm sure) are more likely to complain about those issues than folks who don't? I can't speak for anyone else, but just the free shipping on my 15.5lb bags of Science Diet cat food pays for my Prime membership every year. Should things change, I'm sure I'll bitch about it here the next time a discussion like this comes up. But for now, Amazon has mostly been quite good for me. I will say that deliveries through Amazon Logistics aren't as reliable as UPS/USPS and are significantly more work to track.
