Amazon’s got a great customer service, I have been ordering books and occasionally also some food items from them for two years now and I got what I’ve expected every time, they were never late and the prices are just so competitive! Glad to hear that their specialty food can help people with allergies or maybe celiac disease live on a tighter budget. Do they offer gluten-free groceries?

Hi,

ok, its no good for food =) but http://www.shoptoship.com is another Amazon based site that searches the amazon global sites at the same time (well the USA, UK and Canada anyway). It converts the $$s to the selected currency and attempts to check if the item can be shipped to the selected location in the search.

It seems that the US is pretty much the cheapest tho occasionally I have bought from the UK. For some reason Canada is quite expensive.

While using Amazon Prime makes this fast, you don’t need it to make it worthwhile. Almost all of the food sold directly by Amazon falls under the “spend $25, get free ground shipping”. It’s relatively slow, but it’s free. I buy freeze dried fruit from Amazon, and a case is almost always over $25, so I get the free shipping automatically. It doesn’t come the next day but a little planning ahead saves me $79/year.

I must admit that I’ve never thought about purchasing groceries or food from amazon.. I did buy some books there recently.

I’ll have to check that out. Thanks

This year I’ve learned a lot more about Amazon…like Gibble shared that they have diamond rings. And now specialty food. I can’t shake my thought of them as a “stuff” (and mostly entertainment stuff) place.

That’s great, though. It sounds like they’re an excellent supplier and I suppose they can afford to carry more stuff since they’ve got such a broad audience.
