Shopping at Amazon? There are lots of great ways to save!

Amazon offers a price matching policy on cell phones and televisions sold through their site. Under Amazon's Price Matching Policy, if you find an identical item being sold on a competitor's site (see Amazon's Price Matching Policy page for the official list of qualifying competitors) within 14 days of the item's ship date, Amazon will refund you the difference.

While Amazon's Price Protection Policy isn't spelled out on their website, they will refund you the difference if the price of an item that you have purchased drops within 7 days of receiving the item. If this happens, you will have to contact Amazon's Customer Service department for the refund. Be advised that Amazon's Price Protection Policy is only valid on items sold and shipped through Amazon and does not apply to third party sellers.

Amazon has its own coupon section where you will find discounts for virtually every category on the site. These coupons are also listed on the homepage of their corresponding section. So whether you're shopping for kitchen appliances or office supplies, be sure to check out the category page for any available coupons and special offers that can be applied to your purchase.

About Amazon

Amazon is the largest Internet-based retailer in the United States. Founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, Amazon was originally named “Cadabra” - and made its online debut in 1995. Amazon began as an online bookstore and within its first two months in business, had made sells in all fifty states and 45 countries around the world. (In case you're wondering, the first book ever sold on Amazon.com was Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies by Douglas Hofstadte.) Amazon has since expanded its product line to include electronics, appliances, household goods, apparel and more.

Amazon.com has come a long way from their early days when employees would ring a bell inside the building to celebrate making a sale. Today, Amazon’s boasts nearly 120,000 employees and enough warehouse floor space to equal 700 Madison Square Gardens. Because of the tremendous amount of warehouse space there is to cover, Amazon now uses robots – in addition to their traditional staff - for retrieving items during the packing and processing of orders.

In addition to being just an online retailer, Amazon also develops and markets its own brand of products – like the Amazon Kindle readers – and is also a well-known provider of cloud computing solutions. Amazon's headquarters are based in Seattle, Washington with separate retail websites for the UK, Ireland, Spain, Australia, India, Mexico, Japan, Brazil, Germany, China, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Italy – with more international sites expected to launch in the future.
