I’d also recommend anything ‘Amazon Basics’. I’ve had quite a lot of that and it tends to be good quality stuff. I got a new Wok this week and it’s really good.

This sums it up to me about how cutting edge they are.
My Alexa was flashing so I asked it what was happening. It told me my paint roller frame was out for delivery. OK nothing special about that. Then it reminded me I need to order more coffee. Now that is awesome.

I'd see it more likely to go the other way around, since it's the Waitrose side of the business propping up JLP at the moment. So a Waitrose store with a small John Lewis section, like the one in Bath from memory. Sadly for JL, I think the traditional department store has had its day and the entire category (except for flagship stores that are a tourist destination in their own right, e.g. Harrods) will disappear over the next few years.
Back to Amazon, I agree with checking out the Basics line. Not always cheaper than similar products, but usually. Always been decent quality IME. Edited at 09:49 AM. |

I love amazon. It is very convenient for me as my sister and her family live in San Fransico. I can just change from the UK to the US amazon order birthday/Christmas pressies usually free delivery and arrives within a week. If I was to buy the same thing here and post it, the cost would at least treble and take over a month to arrive.

I use Amazon quite a bit. But got think earlier this week when the charger for my golf trolley became faulty.
I had bought it locally (as the discount I got made it a fair bit cheaper than online) last summer. Unfortunately due to CV19, replacement chargers are unavailable and the manufacturer doesnt know when they will become available. Took it back to where I bought it. They obviously had no stock. But they took a charger from one of their stock trollies and gave it to me. So they basically made a £500 item unsalable for an unknown period until chargers are available again to help me out. Had they not been able to do that, they were going to lend me a trolley from another manufacturer (brand new boxed item) and taken the hit that they would have had to sell it as used when I brought it back. You wont get that service anywhere online. I know there has been big thread on the "High Street", but while I do use Amazon quite a bit, I am also a big fan of shopping locally. Initially driven by the fact that after negotiation, local shops are nearly always cheaper than online, but the service is so much better. |

I use them too much, too. I usually have a delivery most days, I'm even buying trays of pepsi max off them now, they carry them up two flights of stairs a lot easier than I can. Bulk buy loo roll and kitchen roll, domestos, all that kind of thing. Music books, eveything, love them or hate them they've become a way of life now.
