Product review (5 stars): Just another reason to use Amazon.
Here's one more reason I use Amazon.  I was on vacation, staying at a motel that we frequent every year.  We know the manager well, and it is  a place where the same people are there year after year about the same time.  When I got there this year, the washing machine had a broken part.  I tried to get a replacement part locally and it had to be ordered, they were not sure when it would arrive, etc, etc.  I went into Amzaon, it was available for about 2/3 the price from buying local and I had it in two days; two days!  Yes, the part was an original GE part; I installed it in a few minutes and the job was done.  Thank you Amazon
