What Is Your Star Rating Criteria For Making A Purchase?

I do too. I look for a high percentage (but not 100%) of positive reviews.

BTW, The last $100 bill I saw looked more blue than green. That is NOT a complaint.

I recently got a defective product from Amazon. They do make returns easy.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Yes.

So, yer saying Amazon has excellent shipping, but zero quality assurance?? I can agree with that. ;)

Nope, not at all. I've placed hundreds of orders and only had one defective item. They replaced it and I did not have to send the defect back. I placed 56 orders in 2016 and 8 so far this year.

I just bought a Samsung 4K TV, 55". It would be a PITA for me to pick it up and haul home. Amazon has a scheduled delivery service included in the price. Two guys delivered it, unpacked, assembled, took away the packing material. Same price as the competition.

I also watched "The Grand Tour" today in 4K from Prime. They are doing a lot of programming in 4k. The new season of Bosch starts soon.

Per notbob:

I would think that part of their quality assurance is not charging Prime customers shipping on returns. ... i.e. if somebody's shipping junk, the return costs come back to bite them.
