What is Amazon?

Might seem like a silly question, but if you’re not familiar with Amazon, it’s an online marketplace consisting of more than 2 million sellers. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon back in 1994, when it started out as an online bookstore.

Throughout the years Amazon has grown to include just about any type of item you might be looking for, from auto tires to makeup to sporting goods. And today Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world.

Amazon sizing guide: What size do I need?

Amazon sells a large variety of clothing brands and styles, so you’ll want to check the specific sizing information on the item’s page that you’re interested in buying. However, Amazon does provide general size guides to help you pick a size if there is not sizing information available for specific items.

Is Amazon plus-size friendly?

Many clothing retailers that sell products on Amazon do have plus-sizes available. However, not all do. The best way to find out if an item you like is available in plus sizes is to check the sizing chart on that item’s page. If you can’t find this information, you can refer to Amazon’s general plus-size sizing chart.

Shipping, delivery and payments

Can I get free delivery?

Because Amazon is a marketplace, each seller sets its own delivery prices. But you’ll find that a number of items across the site come with free shipping.

If you’re a Prime member, you’ll get even more opportunities for free shipping. Look for the Prime logo next to the price of the items you’re searching for to take advantage of free two-day shipping with Prime. You can even filter your search to only show items that come with Prime shipping.

Shipping costs

If you don’t have Amazon and Prime and the item that you’re interesting in buying doesn’t offer a free shipping option, you’ll be able to view the estimated cost of shipping by following these steps:

  1. Select Proceed to checkout
  2. Select or add your shipping address
  3. Select a shipping speed and click Continue
  4. Select a payment method and click Continue
  5. The total shipping & handling cost will be listed under Order summary.

How can I track my order?

To track your order, make sure you’re logged in to your Amazon account. Click on Orders in the upper right-hand corner and then click the Track package button next to the item you want to track.

You can also initiate a chat online, call customer service or send an email to inquire about your shipment.

Payment options

Amazon takes your privacy and security seriously. It uses Transport Security Layer (TLS)/Secure Socket Layer (SSL), the industry standard in secure server protection, to keep your payment info safe. Choose from the following options when making a payment on Amazon:

  • Credit or debit card
  • Checking account
  • Gift card
  • Amazon Pay
  • Cash on delivery
  • Shop with Points

What is Amazon’s return policy?

You can return most items sold on Amazon.com. However, each seller’s return policy and options can vary and may depend on factors like the item type and/or reason for returning. Before making a purchase, be sure to check the seller’s return policy in case you need to send the item back later.

You should be able to return most items that are fulfilled by Amazon within 30 days of the purchase date, as long as they are in new, unopened condition.

Can I exchange my item for a different color or size?

Most items fulfilled by Amazon are eligible for an exchange. However, for items that are purchased through a third-party seller, the exchange policy for your item will be determined by the individual seller, not Amazon itself. Therefore, you’ll need to check with the seller for more information about its return/exchange policies and to see if the item in question is eligible for an exchange.

Are Amazon returns free?

If your item is fulfilled by Amazon, you may receive a free pre-paid return shipping label to return your order. Items eligible for this service will be marked with Free returns at checkout.

For third-party sellers, you’ll have to check the specific return policy to see if you’ll be on the hook for return shipping costs or not.

In these instances, Amazon will offer a partial refund:

If you return… You’ll receive…
Items in original condition, past the return window
80% of the item’s price
CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, video games, cassette tapes or vinyl records that were opened (taken out of plastic wrap) 50% of the item’s price
Items that are damaged, missing parts, not in original condition or have obvious signs of use Up to 50% of the item’s price
Open software for reasons not due to an Amazon error 0% of the item’s price

How do I return an item to Amazon.com?

To return an item purchased through Amazon.com:

  1. Log into your Amazon account.
  2. View your Order history.
  3. Click the Return or replace items button to the right of the order you’d like to return.
  4. Select the item(s) you want to return, along with a reason for returning from the drop-down menu.
  5. Print the return shipping label and authorization form.
  6. Enclose the authorization form inside the return package, and attach the return shipping label to the outside of the box.
  7. Drop your package off at your local post office or any mailing service location.

Amazon’s returns address

Look for the correct returns address on the return shipping label from Amazon. If you need assistance finding this information, contact Amazon.com directly.

When’s the next sale?

Be on the lookout for deep discounts on Amazon.com on major retail holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You might also want to keep your eyes peeled (and fingers ready!) for Amazon Prime Day, which usually happens sometime around the second week of July each year. If you’re a Prime member, you can score some seriously sweet deals on Prime Day, plus get your free two-shipping as usual.

If you’re not already a Prime member, you could snag a few bucks off your first few orders any time of the year.

Another way to stay on top of the latest deals from Amazon and your other favorite retailers is to sign up for finder’s deals newsletter!

Other Prime member benefits

Prime members also receive a host of other benefits, including free video and music streaming services. Another notable benefit enjoyed by Prime members is access to luxury beauty samples and other samples. These samples can be purchased for $2.00 or $4.00 and include free shipping. The cost of your samples can be applied to your future beauty product purchases. Nice perk!

What sets this brand apart?

Amazon is the clear leader in online shopping. But did you know that Jeff Bezos started the company in his garage selling books online? Back then Amazon sold so few items that they would ring a bell each time an item sold. Today Amazon employs more than 117,000 employees and shows no signs of slowing its growth.

The company has even recently acquired Whole Foods and launched its first no-checkout convenience store in Seattle called Amazon Go. Use your Amazon Go app to enter the store, walk in and grab what you want and then walk out. No lines and no checkout required!

What do people really say about Amazon?

According to a Harris Interactive poll, Amazon now outranks Apple in popularity. Over on TrustPilot, 68% of the reviews fall into the “excellent” category.

How can I contact customer support?

It’s easy to get in touch with Amazon. You can send an email, call customer service or initiate a chat online.

      Hi Sam,

      Thanks for leaving a question on finder. Please note that we are a comparison website and we do not represent Amazon or any of the providers on our page.

      By simply searching for “RYOBI 14.4 Volts battery” in the search box in Amazon, it gave me a list of where I can purchase it from. It will be in the tools and home improvement section.

      Cheers,
      Joel
