Default Which Store is Your Favorite

Now that I am finished with my online Christmas shopping, I found that I learned a few lessons. Places that are shopper friendly and those that are NOT..

Target was my favorite, I received all my packages, in a timely fashion, all wrapped and ready to put under the tree.

Amazon was also great at having everything wanted and oranizing it all to be sent by different providers, in a timely fashion. No wrapping, though..

E-toys was ok and has been great in the past, but a little slow and couldn't wrap the things I purchased.

All the candy and food purchases were great, too.

Places I will never shop in, again...ever....
Webkiz Toys
Best Buy
Walmart

How were your shopping experiences? Good? OK? Bad?

Our local AMPM gas station is my favorite (because that is where I get my java and paper each morning)!

As for retail stores...I am clueless.

My favorite place was Amazon.com. They have Target there too and Toys R Us! They do offer gift wrapping but I think it's for certain stores that offer it. Oh and I got free second day shipping the whole season!

I like Barnes and Noble and Borders because I too am a bookworm. Amazon is great for items I just cannot seem to find and The Animal Rescue Site is a favorite place for me because they are timely and have all kinds of deals plus they help out our 4 legged friends. Bought lots of great gifts from them.

I refuse to go near WalMart until after Christmas. We have a super target next to my house (it's just as bad as Walmart). I love love love 5 below, and we have a place called Justice which is just for girls and has all kinds of cool stuff. Online stores I use: Ebay/Amazon...and I found a new one Proxibid which has amazingly expensive stuff for super cheap as the sellers don't really know how to determine value.

IKEA had the best customer service. I bought a gift card for my daughter. You can't get them online. The lady I talked to on the phone was great.

We got a delivery from walmart. my daughter was surprised on how fast it arrived, but she was disappointed that they don't wrap. so I know what our family gift is.

In the past, Target was one of my favorites to order online and have it shipped to family.

I've found that Amazon and Land's End are both good to deal with.
