(8,697 posts)I buy everything - shoes, clothes, pet food, art supplies, fabric, household stuff, etc. from Amazon. If you know what brands you like and read the reviews you will have more success in what you buy. I basically buy the same brands of shoes over and over. Amazon Prime makes returning stuff no hassle. I'm an avid reader, and get all my books from Audible too.
UPS and the PO don't even deliver to my house - the driver says he could not deliver to everyone in one day - going down all the rural roads - so we pick up our stuff at the hardware store and the hardware store is 12 miles from my house. Still, it's better than driving 45 miles one way to a Walmart and 90 miles to Albuquerque. Because of this, I have become a really good online shopper. A good tip on buying on Amazon is to put stuff in your basket and not buy it. Watch the prices change up and down and not buy until they go low.
