Got an Amazon notice the shipment would arrive today 11am-3pm. Checked their site and saw a realtime map with a sleigh stating it’s 4 stops away. Watched as the sleigh moved to our house and right then it was delivered.
Opened the one box with the cookies and the battery. Just installed the battery, vac is perfect and cookies in the pantry
So spoiled with Amazon. We always go with them whenever we need something. Especially love their return policy.
Although we’d prefer to shop locally etc, simply cannot beat Amazon.

I've been a Prime member for a number of years and own stock in Amazon.
However, since Amazon started allowing third party sellers, you have to be careful that what you are buying is not counterfeit and/or very low quality. Amazon has become somewhat like Buy-It-Now on eBay & you will see the same China based vendors on both sites for the same or very similar prices.
A lot of products that the Chinese vendors sell are available on Temu or AliExpress for 50% less with free shipping & easy returns. I always compare a product I see on Amazon with eBay, Temu, & AliExpress. The media likes to write scare stories about Temu but I have been buying from them for over a year & have nothing but good things to say about them. I have purchased tools, bicycle accessories, clothing, e-bike batteries, outdoor solar lights, Halloween items, greeting cards and more. You are not going to get next-day-delivery though. Usually it takes at least 2 weeks but if they don't hit their target date they start giving you $5 credit that repeats every few days they are late. There is a lot of "junk" for sale but a lot of good items also. I bought two t-shirts that didn't fit right, Temu refunded the price AND let me keep the shirts. I bought a Bafang e-bike mid-drive motor conversion kit from AliExpress for almost
$300 less than the same one on Amazon.
Do your homework on a product you want & like another commenter said, "Caveat Emptor"!
