E commerce site (Amazon)

An example of an online shopping website is Amazon.

Amazon has been described as an "online shopping centre". This is because just about anything can be found and bought there. There are menus which enable people to quickly choose a category of merchandise and browse through that. This is useful if some-one is interested in a certain type of product but does not know what is out.
Another useful feature is that there is a search bar for people to use if they want to find a specific product. That is a lot quicker than looking round shops trying to find a product.

 

Amazon tracks what you buy and search for. This is then used to show you other products similar to what you have already shown an interest in. This is useful as you can either see something you did not know was out or find what you are looking for very quickly.

Amazon offer an express delivery service for the package to arrive the day after it was order provided it is ordered before approxiamtely 9pm. This is useful if the object is important and needs to be deliveried as quickly as possible. The downside of this express delivery is that it costs more than standard delivery.
Amazon is a professional company and are careful with the products. This means that there is no more risk of getting a faulty product from Amazon than there is from an actual shop.

Amazon also has a feature called a wish-list. This is where you make a record of objects you want. This has numerous advantages. The main one is that it is very easy and quick to find something you have already seen. Another advantage is that people can see what you would like and get it for you as a gift.
