Zappos.com is amazing. The whole company is on Twitter, including the CEO.
I’m quite frugal, so walmart.com, bestbuy.com, circuitcity.com, amazon.com and a rare one is publicsurplus.com It’s more like an online auction where they get most of their items from city officials and school districts. The products are used and sometimes slightly damaged, but they are dirt cheap and can easily be fixed.
@joni thanks for sharing….especially the publicsurplus link.
FYI You are probably already aware of this….but use caution shopping at CircuitCity. They are currently in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
That’s interesting about Circuit City. I began wondering about the direction they were heading in when people began complaining about their return policy about 18 months ago. They were charging a fee if you brought back an item that had been opened. Best Buys really cut into their market share. Likewise, the Linen’s and Things closings while Bed, Bath & Beyond has managed to stay afloat.
@Snoopy & Alfreda: Yeah I heard about that. I recently purchased a flat screen monitor from them and decided to read some the user ratings. Everyone was pretty much satisfied with the monitor, but there was this one guy that complained about a 15% return fee when he attempted to take his back. I will most definitely think twice about purchasing anything else from them. Thanks for the warning! :)
