I bought a Polder remote digital thermometer recently (for cooking big roasts, etc). Thanks to the AT shared Amazon Prime account it shipped to me in 2 days.

The thermometer itself is a bit fickle, in that if you accidentially flash it to high temp even for a brief second, it'll fail. Well that happened to me and the temp sensor is broken.

The product was bought past the 30 days return limit. I went to Amazon.com, clicked Contact us, put in my phone number, my phone instantly rang and I got an American on the phone with me. I said "i bought this item here. its broken. what do i need to do". The rep said "its okay we'll just order you a brand new one it'll ship out tomorrow, no need to return the broken one".


thats it. easiest 20 seconds of my life. thanks amazon :cool:

I like amazon also. I bought a refurbished zune for $100. They made a mistake and were out of stock but didnt show it. They told me to reorder but it was for $30 more. I called them and they sent me a brand new one for $100. Not to bad.

Some people will share an Amazon Prime account b/c when one person buys it, they can give it free to "friends and family", up to 4 or 5 I believe.

So $80 split between them is a great deal.

I also love Amazon's customer service. They always respond fast and will do whatever they can to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase.

Dunno about the prime stuff, but Amazon's CS is pretty tight.

Always very easy about adjusting prices when they drop.
Replaced a camera that my nephew broke.
Process returns/credites QUICKLY

Amazon.com is one of my favor places to shop. I also like Costco and Target. In N Out and Wendy's rounds out the top 5. Yes, I shop for burgers.

If it was that fickle and broke so easily why would you want a new one? I think that I would rather have my money back.
