Fantastic! I loved Amazon from the beginning but then when shipping slowed down to a snail’s pace I stopped liking them as much. Then they got over that little hump and now they’re back to shipping within a reasonable time and I’m back to loving them. Amazon is actually my favorite place to shop on the web. I read the reviews all the time and that helps me in my determinations when I’m deciding between a few items. I also like the option of buying from other sellers and that’s always worked out well for me to do that. Thanks for offering up the giveaway. Amazon got 80 percent of my Christmas business last year. So you can see I’m a fan!
Yay! What a great time to find your blog! (I just arrived here through the Make It From Scratch Carnival) I am a fan of Amazon because it almost always offers me a slightly better price than I can find anywhere else, and some times even buying a used item which is right up my alley, lol. I also like the option of selling.

I like that Amazon sells so many different types of products other than books. They have a great selection.
One of the things I love about Amazon is their mp3 downloads. I don’t know if a lot of people know about them. It’s easy to use and not very expensive. Great giveaway opportunity! Thanks.
Forgetfulones last blog post..Camera Critters
There are so many reasons I love Amazon. I’ve never had a bad shopping experience with them. Their prices are good, selection is great, the free shipping really is a super saver and my experience with customer service has always been positive, including a return for a defective DVD. What’s not to love?

I love amazon and love getting amazon gift certs! I already get your rss feed…love your blog!!! thanks!
This is the first I’d heard of your site, but I’m very curious. I LOVE Amazon. I love being able to find and receive a book quickly. I love the reviews available so that I can know what I’m getting. I love how easy it is to find what I need. I love the recommendations for other books I might like that I perhaps did not know about. And now, I’d love to find out how to save or make money with Amazon. Thanks!
Oh, and I grabbed your button. It’s about halfway down in the right column on my blog.
I love Amazon. So much in one place. Count me in.
oh amazon is my Favorite! I love that i only have to buy $25 in order to get free shipping. Although, i picked up on the prime promotion last month and made $10 plus i am able to use prime for one month… woohoo! Thankyou Amazon! Love your blog
Great contest.
I have noticed that Amazon shipping has gotten slower over the years. Their return policy is pretty easy though!

I don’t like the fact that some products can’t be shipped to Alaska when I can sometimes find those same products in our local stores. It doesn’t make much sense to me and Amazon has lost some business there from me.
I like to buy books and preorder various other items.
I love Amazon, I’m in Canada, and it’s good for everyone, everywhere! Just found you through Mom Giveaways!

Amazon gift certificates are a great giveaway! That way each person can choose what they like!
I love that I can get anything from books to strollers to chocolate on Amazon, and even have the choice of getting them new or used.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the free shipping (on most items). It’s a one stop shop. Also the 4-for-4 book sales are great!
I would love to win! I love amazon and the great deals I get from them!
Count me in! I love Amazon because of the free shipping, the recommendations based on past orders, their willingness to tell you about people who are selling the same item used, and the list goes on and on.
I used Amazon for the first time last Christmas and loved it. It was such an easy way to try to find the cheapest prices. I’ll be using it a lot this year and this gift certificate would certainly help!
I never realized you could earn so much from referring an Amazon Prime member! Sales have been slow so far for me through Amazon, but I’m working on boosting them. I have a couple from my sidebar widget, but I’m trying to incorporate more product links throughout my blog posts.
Amazon can be awesome for finding deals, but they are indeed slow and do not communicate when things are out of stock.
I just Stumbled you: http://elementdesigner.stumbleupon.com/
Hope it brings you lots of traffic!
Amazon has (nearly) anything you’d want to buy!
I love amazon because I live in a rural area with not many stores to chose from. Add in the high gas prices plus the distance to any stores, and it makes sense to order online with them. The huge number of things they carry makes it truly one-stop shopping.
I like that you can get free shipping from Amazon on certain products.
I like Amazon because it sells everything under the sun! I just found your site from Prizeywinners, so I haven’t had a look around yet. I’m sure I’ll be back though.

Amazon is often my first stop when looking for a bargain price on just about any item. If nothing else, it gives me a good comparison price for other sites.
I don’t think a day goes by that I’m not on Amazon.

Good ole Amazon - like a trustworthy amigo!
I love Amazon for the prices and variety. I hate that I always end up adding items to get the free shipping.
I love amazon because I can shop for everything I need: books, household supplies, clothing, accessories, shoes- you name it- they seem to have it and at reasonable prices too. Thanks!

I like that Amazon has good everyday prices and frequently discounts items as well. Good bargains to be had if you keep your eyes open!
Katies last blog post..Editors? Hello?
I love that you get literally *everything* from Amazon, but I worry about them pushing brick-and-mortar stores (especially family owned) out of business. That’s my love/hate. But….I use ‘em and would love the gift certificate.
I have recently used Amazon to do some purchasing for my small business. I make wedding invitations/stationery, and my paper supplier quit carrying a fairly popular cardstock. I checked a few other websites, and then I thought of Amazon. I wasn’t expecting results, but I got them. The seller had exactly what I needed, and I had it in one day. They were AMAZING! And it saved my sale! Who could ask for more?

I love amazon cuz they have good prices on books!
i hate how much you have to pay for shipping on tiny little books/items. but i love that you can find tons of great deals.
I liked Amazon until I needed to return something I didn’t like. The restocking fee they hit me with cost me fully 1/3 of what I had spent!
Now I only buy from them if I am absolutely certain I will not need to return!
I love how Amazon always has a good selection of stuff from parentings, to my personal favorite collection of fairies!
I loved the fact that I listed something for up to 45 days without having to pay a fee or re-list it. Much better than ebay in that way.

One thing I don’t like about Amazon is that international customers can’t purchase other stuff besides books and dvds.
I love Amazon because I can get books for very cheap!
I Stumbled this page fore extra credit!
hey ya! I am ok with amazon, I use them more for research then to shop. but I do use them to shop if I can get free shipping. of course! Seems most of the stuff I want isn’t sold thru them though! rats!

Todays tidbit of knowledge acquired from the series:
Okay, as much as I peruse the site, I had NO IDEA there were “Lightning Deals”. Sort of like a red light special?
I love the free shipping when you order $25 of qualified merchandise!!!

gillians last blog post..Happy 3rd Birthday Carly Jane!
I love amazon because of the cheaper used books. The ones that I have recieved have been in GREAT shape, sometimes I even wonder if they are “used”. In the end they are cheaper than purchasing new ones in the mall.
I really love the free shipping for $25 orders. This sometimes means I have to search the bargain book sections to make the $25 threshold, but the search for something interesting makes it fun!
I have your button on the left sidebar at: My Personal Reviews
I love Amazon. They have quick shipping, free shipping if you spend $25 and its a nice way to send a gift to someone out of town. Thanks.

Hey I just subscribed to your newsletter. I don’t want to miss out on any great deals. Thanks so much.
Sweet, $25 is enough for free shipping.
Love that they have product reviews and that you can get slighly used/cheeper verisions of the brand new.
I love the convenience and selection available on Amazon.
I love Amazon! You can find almost anything that you are looking for there.
OH MY GOSH! Great giveaway! You should see my wishlist on Amazon!! Thanks!
Today, on your ‘earn/save money with amazon’ feature, I learned about the gold box deals. I think I must have seen or heard of them before, b/c it rang a bell. But I hadn’t remembered or would have checked them without your post. Thanks for the great info!
Gold Box Deals
Every day Amazon will offer a certain item at extra savings. Sometimes up to 75% off. Get in the habit of checking this everyday. You can find it by clicking on the treasure chest labeled “Today’s Deals”.
What I love about Amazon: that you can pre-order things so that they ship right to you as soon as the product is available, love that! Great giveaway!
Have gotten some great items from Amazon over the years–a fun online place to shop.
I love Amazon because I can keep a running wishlist of things I want for me, for my 2 y/o daughter and for hubby. I also keep a list of gift ideas. It makes shopping SO convenient. I also love free super-saving shipping, their 4-for-3 promotion, and the huge variety of things I can find, often at a discount.

At Christmas time last year they did this great thing where you could vote on one of several hot items of the season priced at fantastic prices and then if the one you voted on won, you’d be put in a lottery to be guaranteed the opportunity to buy it at that special price. I think they did one deal once a week or every few days or something. I never got picked to buy it but maybe this year!
I LOVE AMAZON — CAN’T BEAT DELIVERY. SAVES ON GAS!!!
