Amazon - I buy LOTS of ---- from amazon. I love being a prime member! :)
eBay - My life is so different because of this place. Both buying and selling.
PayPal - So much better than the old money order days.
USPS - I've had a 99% success rate with them. Including tons of international packages.
Pandora - Plays what I like and I discover new music weekly.
Samsung, Canon, Logitech, Dell, Onkyo and Panasonic for all my electronic needs.
Mazda - Love the miata and our Mazda6.

UPS. I've always lived within a 1.5 hour drive from their depot in Louisville so I get stuff from them super fast, next day even.

Jeff_Ciesielski 03-28-2012 10:06 PM

Amazon. Having Amazon fresh > shopping at the store like some sort of neanderthal peasant.

Samsung. Sexy hardware. Go look at the series 9. Do it.

Asics. Onitsuka Tiger shoes are the most comfortable ------- things on the planet. Worth every penny.

Valve. GabeN for Jesus substitute.

LOL, I hate them so much I refuse to watch a concert if I'm forced to use them.

I've speculated, why doesn't Amazon go head to head against, and crush TicketBastard like a housefly?

There are few things better than watching "Girl, Interrupted", at 2AM. :party:


IIRC, they even had "Hey Arnold" episodes.

Times a thousand.

Both, while pricey and operating on drastically different scales, offer repeatable drama free commerce.

Love? None. Respect for doing business the right way? Several. FM is certainly one of those.

Will no longer use because they messed up and never completely rectified the situation? Many more.


I use McMaster-Carr all the time for work. Not the best prices, but when I need parts, I need them now. They deliver next day on most orders.

Ditto. Don't own a single Apple product. Just AAPL. I just got the task of moving all of our divisions Blackberrys to iPhones though so I'll have an iPhone and an iPad soon Monday.

I'll add Monoprice for cables and TV mounts.
