  I'm always looking for the catch with Amazon (from a consumer standpoint, not from a labor conditions standpoint), but there's nothing at all. They're the cheapest and the ones with the easiest return policies. They even replaced some stuff that was missing from a ripped-and-patched-up parcel that I accidentally signed off as being complete.

    and as much as I hate the fact there is no Australian Amazon store.. often ordering from there is fast and still much cheaper (even with shipping) than ordering stuff here in Aus.

    Agree. Never had a single problem that wasn't immediately resolved in over 300 orders. Prior to using amazon my options were basically phone up then trek to Foyles in London or go to my local book shop and try and work out how to get them to order something that wasn't top 100 dross. If you buy used books from them as well, they are actually cheaper than a lot of the charity shops now as well and you get a better hit rate. And that's just the books side of things. Lenovo parts from China, phone parts from Canada, phones, computer parts, memory cards, camera, laptops. Just the best experience so far. And you can talk to a human pretty much instantly from experience.
