Amazon

I stopped shopping on Amazon for a few reasons.

1) The delivery charges were ridiculous.
2) The delivery time was wrinkle deepeningly slow.
3) Play.com sounded cooler.

Amazon has since returned to my affections for more reasons.

1) Amazon's product catalogue is bigger than Play's.
2) Amazon have sorted out their delivery times.
3) I can import from Amazon.

I placed an order for volume 1.2 of Naruto Unleashed (episodes 14-26) and Naruto manga volume 2 on Friday morning. Normally I'd expect to wait until after the weekend to get them yet I get home from work today and there they are. Technically that's the holy grail of internet shopping. TokyoToys promise next day delivery but I've never seen them do it (though I think its more Royal Mail's fault than TT's), Amazon (the site that kept me waiting over a week for 4 volumes of Chobits) have somehow pulled their finger out and done it.

So Amazon is default for online shopping with me again. Now if only I could find a copy of Yu-Gi-Oh 11 (Duelist 4) without going through the marketplace.
