>I can find things for half the price than at a brick and mortar, it comes fast, and it's almost always about what I expect. I have never gotten the wrong item.

Half the price, not sure, but for me the main appeal is I can find the things in the first place. If you need something specific, it's just impossible to find it in the city. There are 10 places that may have it, you go there, nobody knows where what is.

If there was a search engine for brick and mortar I might be inclined to buy there again. But I just can't find anything.

That's my main use as well. On many (most even?) occasions I would gladly pay a small-to-modest premium just to have the thing in my hands today and without worrying about delivery delays, theft, or just the wasteful feeling I get from ordering some smallish item to be boxed up and delivered to my home.

But then I can't find the thing I want. Amazon seems to be doing their level best to make searching a pain in the ass, but it's still leagues ahead of using Maps to hunt down the type of store that may have an item, then going to the website of the store (if they even have one), then looking for the item if they have a shopping/product-list section on their website, then hoping it's even accurate and I don't drive out there just to find they don't actually have the item.

So instead I go on Amazon and deal with scrolling through pages of not-the-thing-I-actually-want and hopefully find the item available for delivery sometime in the next 1-5 days.
