I dont order much online a few books and CD's and DVD's thats about all. I like to see what I am buying. Ive been stung quite a few times buying stuff through the mail. Besides that, I only get my mail every couple months.. It wouldnt be worth it to me.

What don't I order on-line. Let's see I recently ordered Chocolate Cookie Mix, Pillow Case, Toys, Books, DVD, Scone Mix, Hot Chocolate Mix, Gifts (Christmas or Birthday gifts), Halloween costumes, remote control, music, etc.

I guess the only things I don't usually buy is clothes (too hard to figure out if it will fit or not) and birthday cards.

Only books and CDs, really. That's all I ever buy that would require delivery! :)

Yep! We have our own UK version. Exactly the same but everything is in pounds instead of dollars! :)

That depends on what you mean by "price structures" :)

Ahh ... not really. The exchange range between your dollar and our pound isn't very high so often things from the American site seem more expensive, although generally there isn't a big price difference (minus a few pence or cents here and there) and the prices are usually fair :)

I buy Kindle books and make an occasional order from the US Amazon site to ship over some things like a certain brand of facial soap that I can't find in Japan. I bought all of my Japanese furniture from the internet too.
