MSE Poll: Do you just head to Amazon when you shop online?

175 Posts



Poll started 24 July 2018
Last year, retail heavyweight Amazon reportedly accounted for over a third of online spending in the UK – suggesting it’s the first port of call for many, especially those who pay £79 a year for its Amazon Prime ‘free’ next-day delivery service.So we want to know if you still compare prices when shopping online, or whether you just head to Amazon out of habit?

So unless there's a free Prime trial they've had it from me.
(occasionally Amazon marketplace is cheaper though they can inflate the postage!!!)
For Music Discogs can be cheaper where you can group available purchases (via wish list, same seller) to save on postage.
Though I prefer local stores if a good deal on or in a hurry!
I boycott Amazon - that should have been one of the answers IMO.
They are never cheaper for anything I want to buy - I always have a look as I know they won't be cheaper when I do my search on "Duck,Duck,Go" - which I use instead of Google because they don't trace you either!
Get wise people, do not use Amazon = they treat their staff so badly too
It wasn't a serious one but new enough to get past my controls and did take a bit of work to remove from my PC once my anti-virus had been updated.
Although I voted
that is to check Amazon are cheapest before buying from them, if they are not I wait till they are.
Getting a good amount (£1400 last year) of Amazon vouchers as rewards from various websites helps.
I am also wary about items that would be difficult to return, so usually just stick to small items.
