I just found out that one can buy cases of stuff like paper towels on Amazon.com. Does anyone buy paper goods or grocery supplies from them and is it worthwhile? They offered a coupon that you could 'clip' by just clicking on it.

It all depends on the shipping costs.

My son and DIL buy Pampers on Amazon. They belong to Amazon Prime (I think that's what it's called) and so they don't have to pay shipping.

Holedigger, the ottomans were not FREE, they were just matching :-) However the other line Camano does not have ottomans at all. And I am looking for the dust covers as well. Heading off to local Big Box store... And, I procrastinated on my order for about a week and on Mem Day weekend the prices went up right in front of my eyes. Anyways, the difference was not much - and definitely that heartache is gone now that I am enjoying the summer. I also read on Amazon that people have replaced their Falkner default cushions with RH or S&H cushions and size-wise they matched, plus they are of better quality. I am planning to replace mine maybe next year. Any experiences shared would be appreciated. BlueKit: Nice definition of summer!! LOL....over here in Northern CA summer is not quite that long but close..

How to Contact Amazon.com

Oh dear, it's not nearly as easy as I thought. sigh... I emailed the cust rep who told me to send her the tracking number on the (wrong) package and she would send me a return label, postage paid. No problem, right? Wrong! The label she sent me was for the return of MY shipment, not the incorrect one. There was no way to contact her again, so I hit the button "Call me" and I would explain to a real person. Well, I was called and the guy was from India! Grrrr. I was on the phone with him for about a half hour with lots of holds while he checked with his supervisor. He kept checking MY account in which everything was ok. I kept trying to tell him the shipment did not appear as a charge on my account, so there's no point looking there. He said he couldn't send me a mailing label to print out because this wrong shipment was a PARTIAL shipment. He told me to return the package and they would reimburse me for the postage. Not going there. I will take it to the closest UPS store and let them handle it. Whew, what a mess.

Don't get me wrong, if I personally owned a bookstore, I would not sell this garbage by personal choice. My problem with the situation is that [IMO] selling the literature isn't the problem, it is a symptom of the problem :^( Don't write Jeff Bezos, write congressmen and senators of states where these things are still legal or tolerated. Lobby for laws and stricter sentences for people who get involved with this type of activity. Support groups that work to bring enlightenment to other parts of the world. In other words, do something towards a real difference that will make these publications obsolete. I think in many places, this type of activity is seen as a way of life with no regard of animals as "souls" instead of "property." I honestly don't think you change that kind of thinking by removing a magazine from a shelf rather than finding a way to make the activity illegal and with great consequences. I guess I'm just being pessimistic about how this type of problem can be dealt with- I apologize for that and hope that boycotting and emailing Amazon does something to change the problem for all the victimized animals out there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this sickness for books. A gift card for Amazon...How wonderful that would be!! A trip to Amazon is always dangerous. You find one that sounds good, they point you to other great related ones, and one purchase turns into several... (It is also my favorite way to shop for library books, too, since some are fun to read, but not worth buying.) I just did some major Christmas shopping on Amazon. It took me a couple weeks to add, then narrow down to get everything just right. But I've got a new cart started already.

For a lot of items if your total is over I think $49, shipping is free.

I use the subscribe and save option for several itms that are priced similar or lower than my regular local store. I considered paper towels, but the box my 20 pack Scott's TP comes in is big, the paper towel box must be huge! I also have an Amazon reward cc, so I earn triple points on anything suppled by Amazon, and can redeem points at check out.

Sure a few things might be a buck or two more in some cases, but considering the convenience vs waiting until I both have time to go buy something and remember I need to buy it, totally worth it. I'm too cheap to let much more than that slide though, even on something i only buy 2-3 times a year, so I'm careful about what I opt to buy online.

If you order 5 or more subscribe and save items you get a 15% discount on the order. Delivery for subscribe and save items is always free. Amazon has digital coupons that can be clipped as well. This month my total is $23 for 4 boxes of dishmachine detergent, 48 double rolls of Charmin tp. These all had digital coupons and a 15% discount.
