I have been buying from Amazon for 20 years and have not once used 1-Click.

[fps]

I've used it a few times but only because I know amazon's costs and shipping policies are consistent, and they give you enough information up front on the item page to make a fully informed purchase decision.

Other ecommerce sites frequently have so many additional/hidden charges that I would never want to click "buy" right from the item page. I abandon so many carts when I get to the checkout page because there's $20 in shipping charges on a $8 item, or they've tacked on a $5 handling fee, or they wait until the very end of the process to tell you that the item will ship in 8 weeks.

Maybe it is different in the US, but in the UK the charges being inconsistent is the reason I do not use One Click. (Amazon UK not being as good seems to be a theme in these comments.)

I don't think that's the case for Amazon Prime (UK customer)

In my experience the price shown and delivery time estimate is always accurate, and as a Prime customer the delivery fee is included in your subscription

I'm in virtually the same boat as you. I've been a prime customer for over a decade even and have easily spent over $500k with them (lots of business purchases) throughout the years, yet I've used 1-click purchase a single digit number of times.

I'm using it because I know I have time to cancel it if it's a mistake, and worst case scenario it's very easy to send them back stuff. Just print the return slip.

I used it once. About an hour later after nearly having a heart attack when I saw the email that I had purchased a $5,000 generator. I quickly canceled it, but it would have been such a pain to try to ship that back or even take delivery of it. I disabled it and still do.

Just because it is easy to return things doesn't make me feel good about doing it - it is such a waste. Maybe I should look at it as creating jobs.

I only use it for Kindle books.

I've never used it for other things though, even as a Prime customer.

My main issue with it is I use different delivery addresses, sometimes to work, sometimes to an Amazon Locker, rarely to home as I'm never in.

I use it all the time and it's terrific. Stupid patent, but useful feature.

I use the one-click patent everytime I buy music from the iTunes Music Store.

[blibble]

it very rarely works... you click it and then it asks to update your credit card details (even though I've been buying using that card for years)

[benmowa]

hmm works for me all the time... but i'm curious i wonder are you running a standard browser, locally without proxy, from within the US? Not that i'm advocating you must, but curious if you hit on any of these?

[blibble]

chrome, no proxy, UK amazon from the UK

it's probably because I don't use 1-click that often, because it is rarely 1-click, which leads to me not using it very often

(I use normal buying constantly though)
