I don’t think there is a category where amazon shines, but I have had good results with car parts, gardening supplies, tools, books, household items.

I usually find a brand name seller with a website or a specific part number.

Or if I don’t know/care about a brand I read some reviews and look at review pictures I don’t buy the cheapest item and still scrutinize best selling item.

The top results could be garbage as people are saying, but somewhere in the first page of top rated results is the best item for a great price.

In a rural place, prime is a huge time and money saver, have had good customer service. I still don’t think other online retailers have caught up to amazon, I hope they do .
