Cons
Con No longer allows you to add links or ideas from other websites
Con Two day shipping is a lie
Used to be two day shipping when you ordered. Now, even with the page showing "expected delivery date" with prime delivery, sometimes the item won't ship for days to weeks later, and amazon does not accommodate the customer for the inconvenience.
Con Apple products/electronics are risky, and Amazon does not help the customer
On occasion people get shipped expensive electronics others have repackaged and returned to look like new. Amazon doesn't check them, and will sell them to unknowing customers. Usually they will not refund in these cases. Also if an expensive item gets lost in the mail, they won't help you.
Con Amazon only wants you to shop on Amazon
No other sites' products allowed.
