Hi hope this is on the right place to post this query.

I'm quite new to Internet shopping.Well i have only bought a couple of items over the net. I'm thinking of getting a new water proof/breathable coat for my walking days. I looked on a well known outdoor wear site and was going to consider paying around £90 for a outdoor coat. Then i looked on Amazon and i could get a similar style made by the same company for £14 it said it should be £80. Now i have never bought anything from Amazon but i go by the saying if it sounds to good to be true brigade.And this does sound just that.

Can anyone throw any light on why they can knock £66 off a coat or is it to good to be true.

thanks

No idea why they can do it so cheap, but I've bought lots off amazon and never had a problem - also found their customer service when I bought a faulty microwave amazingly good.
Is it from Amazon themselves or from one of their marketplace sellers?

Hi, i've had some brilliant bargains from Amazon. Strike while the iron is hot
i'd say, it could go up again tomorrow. :eek::D
Maybe it's old stock.

Go for it... I've had some amazing bargains on Amazon, I've lost count of how many times i've found a bargain not bought it and decided to return later, only to find the price had gone up.

The marketplace sellers sell on the Amazon website. Have you got a link? If it's a marketplace seller you can read their feedback.

I use Amazon a lot and never had a problem. I bought an ipod touch for my daughter. After 2 months it broke. I contacted them and they sent a replacement before i'd even had a chance to post the broken ipod back to them.

M and M direct have their own website, have bought loads from them and had some great bargains. It is probably last year's colour or style. If this is the jacket, it is £18.75 on M and M direct.
