I tend to buy a majority electronics or any other item online through Amazon, for the simple reason of convenience and consistency. Even with dealing with outside vendors you can take a look at there feedback through Amazon and decide if you want to buy through them or not, and they make the whole process very easy. There are some sites that I would like to purchase from them but two things come up, either they don’t ship to mail forwarder or the shipping address has to match the address on the credit card.

One thing is that I tend to buy certain hardware directly from Amazon for the sake of their return policy. They have the easiest non-hassle return policy I have seen from any company, you just click return item, then you specify which item you want to return for a reason, you get to choose a replacement for it or a refund, a refund takes some time but the replacement is instantly sent out. In my case I ordered two Western Digital 2 TB drives, one was faulty and one was fine, so I asked for a replacement and its already shipped out, same thing happened before and they shipped it out, they asked the damaged item be sent back within 30 days or you would be charged for the replacement. This happened before and the process was perfect, the only cost is the cost of sending the item back from Kuwait.
