Ebay is great for finding obscure products or secondhand ones, but more mainstream new products I tend to purchase from sites directly. I have had a lot of secondhand bargains from eBay and my experience has generally been positive. I have bought a few new products from eBay, but generally speaking I prefer to buy direct or other sites which provide you a full guarantee/refund period.

I love Amazon, I use them all the time. There prices are always competitive and they provide excellent shipping times (even better with Prime). I do still use price comparison sites like Shophapi, but that is just to see if other sites are running any offers.

I found some great deals on the Amazon Marketplace, one of best I found was for a coffee machine which was half price because the packaging was damaged. The product was delivered under my Amazon Prime subscription within 2 days and the product worked perfectly.

During the holidays it's often difficult to figure out what to get for family that has moved far, far away. That's when I turn to Harry and David. I've never sent anything from this company that didn't receive rave reviews. Their fruit is always perfectly fresh and unblemished, their baked goods delicious, and their portion sizes for treats are very generous. You're not just sending pretty packaging with one bite of "gourmet" product inside. Ripe, luscious fruit in the dead of winter is one gift that you can feel good about giving and receiving. If by some stroke of unkind fate your produce arrives less than satisfactory, you can contact Harry and David and it has been my experience that they will always replace the gift quickly, with no questions asked.
