But Amazon, which I have only used maybe a dozen times, now sits at the top position. I bought my daughter's college books there, but it didn't take but a few minutes to find better sites for that.

Not for me, I was a prime member and they cancelled my account and shut me out because I refused to keep the junk they sell....I sent too much stuff back

I'm an old bat with advanced arthritis and I'd like to shop there more but hate the way they treat their workers.

Amazon is cutting its own throat with me. I'm one of the few people out there with a lot of money to spend.
