the Amazon no quibble return policy wins it for me. It means i can buy with confidence

I tend to agree, but they even messed that up a couple of years ago by requiring the sender to pay the return postage, which just makes for more hassle. I'm reaching the end of the line with Amazon. Delivery's less reliable than it used to be, they dodge their taxes, they appear to dump on their workforce, their corporate customers, not as easy as it used to be to return stuff......
