Online Purchases
Hey guys, I'm doing a survey.

What sort of things do you buy online, and what sites do you buy them from?

Well, I just recently ordered my Kindle from Amazon, which I am super excited about

I generally don't buy things online though. If I lived in the states I would buy all the time using Amazon.com, but Amazon.ca is trash in comparison.

I shop from Amazon.ca for books (both reading and textbooks) as well as DVD's. Also shop for tickets to events\concerts, and occasionally shop for clothes or jewellery - mostly from Forever21 because there aren't a lot of stores in Canada yet so it's easier to buy from the online canadian store. Once in awhile i've purchased a few things from ebay, but not very often.

I don't have a credit card so I don't shop online often... but I've gotten my parents to buy me a pair of boots off the AE site though. Only because they were out of stock in Toronto at the time. Even if I did have a credit card though, I wouldn't trust many sites with it. :]

Chapters/Indigo a lot....cos books are cheaper there (plus the extra discount for iRewards)

I've tried other stores like Amazon, Canada Post (for stamps), NCIX (computer stuff) and once...Brant Florist (mom's present) but not that often
