Amazon and Zappos

I'm obsessed with both of them. They have everything you could possibly need besides fresh food. Zappos has free shipping on everything regardless of the price. It's not free shipping as in you'll get it in three weeks. It's next day shipping, so you'll receive your order w/in three days!!! Also, they sell everything from Lilly Pulitzer to Chacos. It's not just shoes. I've ordered several random things from them and have been completely happy.

Ugh, I wish Amazon.com was never invented. I was probably one of their loyalist customers. I'm thankful shipping to S. Asia is outrageous b/c I would still be buying books like crazy. This is sad, but now since I can't buy the books I want, I've created a Wish List. Instead of clicking the button that says "Add to Basket," I click on "Add to Wish List." It's like a registry for students, engaged couples, etc., but I like to pretend my book fairy receives the list and one day I'll get those books. Is this sad or what? Also, it's really easy to sell books on Amazon. I sold most of my paralegal textbooks on it and made way more than I would have if I sold them back to the bookstore. It's a great .com
