I have had a few problems with books turning up damaged. Not in transit but before it was packed it was damaged and was still sent out. So 50/50 for me.
Be careful buying from Amazon right now. My sister just 250 dollars worth of stuff and on Amazon using her prime account and she got hacked. I would normally say yes they are safe to use but I guess right now Amazon has been having issues with hacking they haven’t told anyone about.
I buy almost exclusively from Amazon. I have their card though so I am buying with points most the time. Love the fast shipping and I have never had an issue with quality or customer service.
That’s an issues with any site. I’ve gotten damaged books from amazon and even books a million where I’ve walked in the store. Most places even small stores will replace an item if it comes damaged.
@Lucy thats usually more the fault of the post office/carrier than amazon. Unless they dont wrap the books well (this can happen) but if it happens they will replace it easily.
I’ve bought a lot of books from Amazon over the years and only once did I have a problem with one being damaged, but they sent a new one very quickly. Just make sure you check the seller (if it’s not from Amazon, but through Amazon) and check their selling numbers, if it’s a physical copy you’re buying.
I’ve ordered many books from Amazon and have never had any issues. All the ones I’ve ordered have been from Amazon though and not another seller through Amazon.
I agree with Audrey, they sometimes can arrive damaged. They often put my books in with other stuff we might have ordered and then the book gets banged around in shipping and comes damaged. On the bright side I have never had an issue getting a replacement, they just send me a new one and I send back the damaged one on their dime.
yes. I do all the time.
Yes
Thanks ??
Yes
Yes I buy my books from Amazon the time
I buy books from Amazon all the time

I do, never had any problems. Sometimes ive issued with pre-orders but that’s due to stock I think
No….as once you start you can’t stop! Lol
Seriously tho. Totally safe imo

@Kirstie are you buying 2nd hand or New? If buying second hand I only buy very good condition or like new
I am buy new books.
For me, is the best. I only buy in Amazon.
Totally, and they have really fast shipping even internationally (1 week at most to my country where it takes up to 2 months from other pages)
Never had any problems.
Yes! I mostly buy used, but some new stuff from them, too. Occasional delivery issues, but they’re always good about fixing it.
Yes
Buy all my books from amazon!
Not safe for your wallet but safe for your books ? ?
Try book depository

@Michelle anything and everything gets hacked. It’s not an Amazon only problem. Most people have few issues
Buy from Target!!! Theohave a ton online, constantly have a 20% off books sale going in and they package the books why nicer than Amazon does.
@Erika we don’t have target where I live ?
I wasnt sure if target shipped over seas, I’m sorry
@Erika it’s okay ?

Why wouldn’t it be?
@Jessica some sites are not safe…the pages can be crooked/wavey or torn up pages

@Lisa thanlx
Yes, I mostly get my books from amazon. I’ve had issues from everyone I’ve bought from at some stage. So amazon are no different.
Yes. They have good customer service so if a book arrives damaged its easy to get a replacement.
Never had any issues with them
Usually Amazon is best.
I buy from there all the time, never had a problem
Yes. I get my books, or anything else from Amazon. And if there is something wrong they customer service is great.

Yes it’s safe
I’ve bought books recently from amazon and they have been fine
I have almost 150 books, they all came from Amazon and nothing bad has happened, thank God.
99% of my 1000 books came from Amazon. Never had a problem.
Kindle books for me yes, but I save more money with Barnes and Noble after a while since I order online with a coupon and will do in store pickup.
Most books I bought online were bought on Amazon or book depository and so far have had no issues with damage or hacking.
I’ve ordered many books from Amazon and have never had any issues. All the ones I’ve ordered have been from Amazon though and not another seller through Amazon.
Yes. But there might be a chance that your books will arrive damaged

Yes
I buy books off amazon all the time
All the time.
Why wouldn’t it be? Have you been given reason to believe otherwise?
Uh. I’ve been shopping on amazon for 7 years without a single problem.
Of course. Just call Amazon customer services if you have any problem, they will always assist you.
Lol wat??
Nope…
Kidding! Yes, it is safe.
I buy all my books from amazon or google play.. Usually amazon are awesome.
1000% safe
YES
My account was hacked while purchasing from Amazon… I may have just been an unlucky customer ?♀️
Ive bought tons of books from amazon! I’ve never had a major problem and if the book is damaged they work really well with you to replace the book!
Yes – I have literally bought thousands…
