Favorite online stores?

I wear a size 14 shoe, so I'm usually left to find shoes on the internet if I want shoes that fit, so I checked out Zappos.com . They had a ton of shoes in my size, the widest selection I've ever seen. Ordering was a piece of cake, and the next day I received an email...

Although you originally ordered Standard (4 to 5 business days) shipping and handling, we have given your order special priority processing in our warehouse so that your order will ship out today, and you should receive
your order in 1 Business Day (from today) instead.
That's about as good as it gets, no extra charge for that. Nice to know there's places that actually have good customer service.

So what stores do you usually order from and are happy with?

Amazon are OK I guess.

Once they sent me some "free gifts"; extra books I didn't order. Bizare selection actualy, as they sent me a "Do it yourself divorce guide" (I had just married a month earlier) and a very large book on 1,000 classic works of art. This was a pleasant surprise as I love art and was thinking of buying the exact same title (at over $80).

They've also bumped my shipping priority up once or twice.

Oh, and I'm in Australia.

I use:

zipzoomfly.com
microx-press.com
newegg.com

I've never had problems with them, but then again I've never had any particularly good experiences either.

YMMV

Man, I knew they tracked usage patterns, but that is scary. Are you still married?

I had a great experience with aclens.com; the gas permeable contact lenses were 1/3 the wholesale price that my local optomitrist could get. There was a funny mark on the lens I received (turns out that is standard on right lenses now), but they sent me a new one no charge and told me to keep the old one.

I like Amazon just because I can go on and buy pretty much anything I need and then checkout in minutes.

Half.com is good for getting CD's and movies.

I just ordered from Zappos.com, and they did the same thing for me.

I like www.ae.com (American Eagle Outfitters) because they throw in discount codes and stuff for your next purchase almost every time you buy.

Usually Newegg or Amazon. Amazon may not always have the best prices, but they do have just about everything imaginable, and sometimes that convenience is worth the extra cost.

Amazon just makes it all so damn easy, so I shop there. Plus, the no tax/free shipping on orders over $25 is a real draw.
