I order lots of things from Amazon especially around the holidays. I send Christmas gifts to family I will not see during that time so the free shipping is great. However, I have become very careful about checking who the seller is on Amazon as the scammers and fakers have weaseled their way in and I see frequent complaints about people receiving obviously fake items. Amazon is good about returns though. I also browse through the eBay "Buy It Now" offerings occasionally for items I cannot find anywhere else.
