I like to shop locally when ever I can. But one of the issues is that a lot of local stores either don't have what i am looking for or only have one or two options for me to choose from.

With sites like Amazon, I can pretty much always find what I am looking for and will have often many options to choose from. I might not always get the best price, but I do feel that I am getting the most choice.

When it comes to buying presents for people around the country, few things beat Amazon. Local shipping and gift wrapping makes this old Uncle happy.

That and the return policy keeps me using Amazon.

The only thing I won't buy from Amazon is books, which strange as Amazon started out as a bookseller. But we have a new B&N close by and I want to give them all my book business.
