I have only ordered from newegg and zipzoomfly online and have noticed some good deals at Amazon that I want to get. Is Amazon a safe and secure place to order things online and how do they compare to Newegg and Zipzoomfly as far as quality?

Thanks,

Triforce

No, amazon steals your money.

What kind of question is that? Do a search, we've been through Amazon quality before.

no. if anyone orders from amazon immediately your house, car, and identity will be stolen.

If I had to rate all retailers by how safe I feel buying from them - Amazon would be on top.

I have ordered from Amazon many times myself...quick and secure shipping and good prices. I've never had to deal with their customer service, which I think is a good sign, but I'm sure if you want to find out more information about how their CSRs are you could easily do so.

God damn. Next, I'll see a thread asking if we've ever bought anything directly from www.staples.com, I mean, they've only purchased instore before and are unsure of their online practices.

Yeah, that was me. I was so pissed, I flipped right out and gave them all uppercuts before I cut off their heads. To this day, I've never received my camera OR my copy of "On Golden Pond," and the Better Business Bureau thinks I'm making this crap up :|

Figure I'll ask this in this thread to make it a worthwhile thread - Is Amazon even making a profit yet?

According to CNBC, yes.
