Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» I don't AMAZON do you? Allegedly AMAZON is plotting Department Stores in California. What the he** will they sell? EVERYTHING?
I do shop on Amazon. They deliver in a very reasonable amount of time (I don't have Prime). If I needed something overnight, I'd just go to a store and buy what I needed or I would order it through my sister's Prime account. If something isn't as advertised, they take it back within 30 days at no cost to me and I can either take it to a UPS store to return or have UPS schedule a pickup. Very convenient.
That's good to know. I'm a HANDS ON buyer. I want to touch it feel it see it. I want to CHOOSE the best one out of several all the same. But for those who are unable to go out and about it is a godsend. I'd never in a million years order groceries and let someone else do the deciding. It's a tic I guess. I like to be in charge in control. Not that I don't trust others. I just trust me a lot more.I also despise the hassle of having to return things that disappoint. Decades ago I did "book clubs". Thank you for your reply L. Different strokes! :) Oh Cuomo is on TV right now declaring a STATE of EMERGENCY in certain sections of the state. TAKE CARE GOOD LUCK I'LL BE TRACKING IT ON THE WEST COAST!

I don't order groceries from Amazon, or anywhere else. I did that once when I wasn't feeling well and I couldn't get out and had a pretty bare cupboard. It turned out to be twice as expensive as shopping at the store, so I never did it again. Now I make sure that I have plenty of stock in my pantry at all times. Most of what I order from Amazon are drugstore-type items or (when I was going to the office) makeup, so I knew exactly what I was getting. The nice thing about Amazon is that you can return items at any UPS store and some department stores or, since I don't have a printer to print return labels, they will schedule a UPS pickup at my convenience.
No, they don't charge for the pickup. In fact, if you order $25 or more in merchandise, even the shipping is free. Most of the time, when you choose free delivery, they give you a 3-5 day delivery window. Very often, it comes before that which is why I won't pay for Prime. I rarely need something overnight.
The only time I AMAZONED was years ago at my son's request. I set up a $100 credit for him to use. Other than that I don't know from nuttin'! Thank you for your reply L! :)
