It has a medium level of spam, but if you stick to name brands sold by amazon, you generally get what you pay for.
It's replaced the department store, and usually has better service / return policy than a department store (Target etc.).
Costco might be the exception but generally I don't go to costco to search for a specific product. They either have some general version of a product, and if I'm willing to buy that I will; swim goggles for example. Perhaps I want TYR swim goggles. Costco will have better pricing on Speedo goggles but won't sell the TYR mirrored version I'm looking for. Click, bought on amazon, arrives next day.
