Be aware of this: if you're going to order both canned food and books at the same time from Amazon, they'll ship everything inside the same package! I foresaw this as a possibility, but I hoped Amazon would not be so lazy and cheap and ship everything inside the same box.

I was wrong.

I ordered a six-pack of canned fruit and four books. The cans had opened during shipment and leaked everywhere! All the books were soaked and everything stunk extremely bad. It had to have been one of the worst smells I encountered in my entire life. The package smelled so bad that it stunk up my entire garage even though the door was closed and the package was left outside.

Any package which shipped in the same truck as mine had to pick up that odor. Other people on my route were probably wondering what the heck happened.

Because of this experience, I'm too afraid to order any food over the web.

We at office regularly order coffee online and never has single issue, however I'd never even consider getting from the webs anything, but dried foods, ..


p.s: Wink... Wink you could get free .EDU email from http://www.australia.edu/

I've purchased canned foods and cereals and noodles and stuff from amazon, and they always came in their own box. The cans ALWAYS arrived damaged, so I stopped doing that some time back.

It's fine for dry food items, I order several candies and ethnic foods when I get the craving for them. However I really wouldn't order a liquid and books in the same order. (Hell when I had my Prime trial I ordered everything individually to maximize shipping speed.)

Oddly enough my college never did give us e-mails as far as I was aware. Too bad I'm not still enrolled full time, Prime is great as long it's free. I used my Prime Trial to get 2 day shipping on 3 sets of Behringer b2030ps and ended up getting all 3 in under 24 hours. (They flew overnight from Cali to bumfuk Nebraska)

I could understand getting dried foods. In fact, I looked on amazon to try and buy some Oreo O's since they stopped producing them, but I had no luck

As a student about to buy books for another semester of school I cannot thank you enough. With the extra perks, you can buy certain textbooks on Amazon so cheap you can make money off of them by selling them to other students.

I've had prime for 2 years and still not been charged a thing.

Well, it's not bad ordering foods online provided that the retailer keeps the contents of the case sealed (or only sells by the case)! For whatever reason, Amazon had opened the six pack. I often order elsewhere by the case. I buy a 12-pack of 32 ounce organic juices and the stretch wrap is so tight that they cannot jiggle around. It creates an egg-carton effect.

This is an amazing deal! Just had to sign in and say that.
