I've been using it for years. It's handy especially for those items my husband isn't real fond of buying. (smile) I can get toys for the kids, which I don't much any more because they're almost not kids now. The item descriptions are fairly good. I've found items on sites such as Speak to Me, and bought them on Amazon because I found them there cheaper. That's not always the case, but I love being able to price compare, and remember if you have prime, the shipping is free. The only frustrating thing is when I need to get that one thing quick and it is an add on item, and I can't have it unless I spend $25.

Subject: Re: [ATI] Amazon web site Hi Darla and everyone, I'll bet you could order over the phone. I have found Amazons price is to be cheaper overall. And in order for us to get the things that we need, when you consider the cost of care and transportation to get there and come back, coupled with having to carry all that heavy stuff up our stairs in our apartment, Amazon is more than worth it!c Sent from My iPhone > On Nov 15, 2014, at 8:07 PM, Darla <[email protected]> wrote: > > Wow; I have found Amazon's prices to be the best in quite a few things > I need around here--dog food and the items Judy mentioned--but your > aren't forced to use them, and it sounds like it may be possible for > you to phone order if that is your preference. > Darla > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ATI [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of 5cj5 > Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2014 7:46 PM > To: 'Adaptive technology information and support.' > Subject: Re: [ATI] Amazon web site > > All, > > I don't like to order any item from Amazon at all. > I prefer to call direct any company.
