Any one interesting in listing up a few or any of the online shops that you use, and what you usually buy for them. Im not after something in particular, but I keep on finding myself using the same old shops, and fancied having my eyes opened.
Even if its little shops or kooky quaint places, I dont mind, I just want some variation.

thats about it
If you wanna do surveys, then do Myvoice. You get Amazon codes on Myvoice and it does really work.
Play - same as above
GAME - ps3 games
Just re-joined ebay.
I also buy fishing stuff off the net.
With Fruit Loop over Amazon, it may have been because of late deliveries. My sister and I both ordered presents off Amazon for C'mas. Between the 2 of us, we had 4 items that came after C'mas. Then again, it may have been because of a pre-C'mas backlog even though we thought we placed our orders in good time. In this year 2010, we will just have to order our Amazon stuff earlier.
This is why I try to order a good month or two before Christmas.
People kind of advertise things in your area that they don't want, and you do the same, and then kind of pick stuff up, and give it out.
I find it's a nice way of getting rid of stuff that people want but a charity shop might throw away, and getting things that would've otherwise benn difficult to find.
Play.com
Firebox
IWOOT
HMV
chocolatebuttons as i was getting dad sweets, it has every sweet possible!
amazon
threadless.com (teeshirts)
Also to stand up for Quidco we've had around 70 quid back from them since we joined before the Christmas shopping, which is money that would otherwise have just vanished, so it does work.
Other places we've used with success include -
misco.co.uk
photobox
Boots appliances
bracketsuk.com
Rotherham Buildbase
www.birdfood.co.uk
ovh.co.uk
tesco.com
www.chewbz.com (retro sweets woo!)
Hamleys
Kiddicare.com
www.thetechguys.com (freesat install)
www.getknitted.com
www.turfshop.co.uk
www.mothercare.com
Argos
waterstones
A thing that I can no longer recommend is the PC World "reserve and collect" service, as we reserved, waited the recommended 1 hour, drove to the shop only to find that the item was out of stock. No phone call or compensation.
Also Dixons took forever to scrap our old tv.
WTF? No Spangles, Texan Bar or Pacers. Seriously, they call themselves a retro Sweet supplier. All I could find is stuff I can still get in the local sweet shops :yeees:
Agree with you about Amazon though. Never had a problem, nearly always cheaper, deliver on time and I got all of the things I ordered for Xmas and birthdays last year.
Ocado.com - food
Gaydar.co.uk - sex
Anything else can wait :thumb:
Ordered a 'new' CD as an xmas gift. The case was cracked in places (fair enough might have been damaged during delivery although still not acceptable). The case was unsealed, took the disk out to check it and it was filthy. Literally had huge chunks of dirt stuck on the disk. Disk also incredibly scratched. Yes I did get a refund but it was a nuisance. I had also ordered two CD's as gifts for someone else and they don't work! My sister went to play one and it didn't work, so she went to play the other and that didn't work either.
My hubby has had probs with them in the past and advised me never to use them, should have taken his advice! I have ordered loads from play.com and only once has an item had to be returned as it was damaged, and often order online from high street shops etc and never had any problems except with delivery and that's usually the couriers fault.
But was that Amazon direct or an Amazon seller? Seems odd to me that you would get a used cd from Amazon. Individual sellers are not subject to control by Amazon.
No beer?
It comes with th food from Ocado
It was direct from Amazon, I'm not personally a fan of buying from sellers due to probs friends/ family have had with various items in the past.
Amazon get their stock direct from suppliers, so im a bit confused about this. Even though its amazon market place it is still on the amazon.co.uk site
However I hope you had/have a good go at them!
