I can't see the advantage to Amazon enough to give them money to maybe buy something from them. I just bought 2 (two, dos, 1+1) Equa-flex Wide Stance equalizers for $175.00 that Amazon wants $275.00 for and swears it is only 1 piece, as opposed to the 2 pieces in the picture and that it is advertized as a "kit". They have some good deals, but wait until you have to deal with the off-shore customer service reps. You will be banging your head against the wall due to the cultural disconnect, lack of knowledge etc, differences in language and lack of overall concepts of a business.

With careful shopping and timing, you can just about beat any price they have and not have to pay a fee to shop there. Kind of like belonging to Sam's Club. You have to actually buy enough to cover the cost of the membership.

I always check to see where the best deal is and often enough it is at Amazon, not always, but frequently. I've never gotten the Prime because I hate to pay for shipping, and most of the time you can get free shipping if you look.

I've never had to deal with "off-shore customer service reps" but have had to return several items due to not getting it in time or damaged in shipment. There has never been an issue and, as a matter of fact I've never had to deal with a person at all. Everything was done online. I printed out the return shipping label, and my account was credited as soon as the package was shipped. I'm not a fan of Jeff Bezos, but Amazon has great customer service. At least as far as I'm concerned.
