Re: Amazon for components
About one year ago, during my monthly analysis of my bank statements, I noticed a payment that I did not recognise. I looked at previous monthly statements and discovered same entries. An investigation revealed that these payments were to Amazon. Apparently, when I had purchased an item from Amazon, I had failed to spot a small print entry in their terms of purchase that asked me if I wished to join their 'priority shipment' scheme - of some such similar named scheme. The question required me to 'tick' a box for 'no': the 'usual trick' - so this I failed to do. When I discovered what had happened, a bit of research on the 'Net revealed that many other people had been caught out this way. The good news was that these other people complained to Amazon and obtained complete refunds. I then did likewise - with the same satisfactory result.
As a consequence, I have never used Amazon for any on-line purchases since - and have no intention of ever doing so.
