Amazon!

Options
I know people have mixed feelings about Amazon, I’ve just received an email from them.  I bought some very good hair products from them, they were a similar price to other places and I have an Amazon Prime account so I get next day postage free.  They said they have reduced the price of the product after I bought it and they are refunding me £4.13 :)

I thought that was very sweet of them.

    Can't fault them, I placed an order yesterday, non prime member, it was delivered today, didn't pay for next day or activate the trial :)

    They are very efficient . I recently received an Amazon gift card and it was so easy to credit it to my account, and when you make a purchase, it automatically uses that money first.
    Unlike other gift cards, vouchers etc that can be a right pain to get to work online.

    Two negatives though.
    Not paying their fair share of UK tax
    Their drivers ( in this area anyway) just chuck the parcel by the front door, and do not even bother ringing the bell sometimes.

    While I think we'd all like it if they did pay more UK tax they currently pay what they are required to, so if we want them to pay more then the government and HMRC will need to do something to the tax system to make it happen.
    And I find most, although not all, drivers do ring the door bell, but as I'm home most of the time the outer door is usually unlocked so they leave parcels inside anyway.

    The £4.13 is already in my account  :).  Somebody at Amazon is very efficient.
