    Thumbs up I like it

    I lost the charger and cord to one of my "devices" on the trip----now if truth be told I suspect it is here somewhere---but I need it and can't find it. This cord has a USB a on one end and a specialty plug on the other---so fabricating one wasn't likely

    I bought this from Amazon so I started there to get the name---then off to their site and within only a few minutes I got to the page where they had "replacement accessories."

    The purchase of that took me right back to Amazon----and $5.99 to Amazon and it will be here on Wed, my normal day

    If Sears had ever figured that out they just might still be around

    Amazon is my go-to for most anything. In fact I have bought appliance parts, car parts, you name it their prices always better and they have everything that you can imagine in stock and ready to ship. And, as a prime member shipping is always free.

    I'm with Honda---not many Wednesdays go past here without a stop by the Amazon truck.

    How do you manage free shipping Ben---if you don't mind sharing

    Not at all, and remember nothing is "free"...Someone pays for it, and that someone is always us...What gets shipped direct from Amazon ships at no additional cost, as long as your order totals $35 or more...It may not ship right this minute, but in many cases it does, so I wait until my bill of goods totals at least $35...I'm never in that big of a hurry anyway, if I was I would have ordered sooner...A few items do not ship direct from Amazon, and may incur a shipping charge...They keep track of what I have spent in shipping charges in an attempt to hook me on their club fees...Their recent email to tempt me said that I have spent $18.39 in the last three years on shipping, and if only I was smart enough to sign on their dotted line for $12 a month, I could have pocketed that $18.39 myself...Silly me......Ben

    That might work for you Ben, but I order about 10 or 15 items a month at the least.

    I'm afraid I don't have that much self control---sometimes I am not sure I can make it until Wednesday----but the extra 1% off keeps me in check!

    We had an Amazon warehouse open up in SLC a few years ago. As a result, many of the items I order from them get here the next day.

    Yeah, I know doing the above hurts local retailers, but it's hard to pass up Amazon's prices and their fixes if an item fails to perform.
