You can get your jeans shipped free (US only) and also return it within 30 days if you don’t like it and get a full refund. There are some conditions so make sure you read the terms carefully.

• Buy denim jeans online from Amazon.
• Get free shipping and returns (US only).
• Top brands like Levis, Lee, Wrangler etc available.

PicClick is a visual search engine that basically produces image thumbnails of huge number of items along with their price, on a single page, depending upon the category you choose or the product you search for. It’s fast and the size of the thumbnails can be adjusted using a horizontal slider.

The visual representation of products certainly looks more appealing and hence this site could prove to be useful for hardcore users of ebay and Amazon. It also allows you to search for a product within a particular price range.

Enter Amazon Discount Finder, a search tool to find Amazon discounts. It lets you search for discounted items by category and discount range (ex. 50% and more).

1. Pick a category, say Computers
2. Pick a discount, maybe 60% (and above) off!
3. Click “Find Amazon discounts”.

Please note that what you get with discount finder is different from Amazon coupons. Here you’re seeing items that were reduced in price. Sometimes it happens because the item is no longer in demand, other times it can be due to a price mistake. Whatever it is you’re very likely to find a bargain deal here.

Another great feature that most Europeans will probably like about this tool is that it works for non-US Amazon sites as well. It supports Amazon.co.uk (Unted Kingdom), Amazon.ca (Canada), Amazon.de (Germany), Amazon.fr (France) and soon Amazon.jp (Japan).

You can monitor a particular product and the changes related to it, be it price drops, new related items or new products by the same manufacturer. If you came across an item and liked it but you’d prefer buying it later then you can set up a reminder to buy the item on the specific date.

Some of the alert types you can create:

* Search alerts: Find new items matching your search criteria
* Price drop alerts
* Reminder alerts about particular item/s
* Price Guarantee alerts: Get money back from Amazon when an item you bought drops in price
* New related item alerts
* Get alerted when the out of stock item is available again
* Get notified when a DVD comes out in high-definition format
* Keep up with the latest bestsellers in any category

It’s true that Amazon itself allows you to create alerts but Zlert goes a step further and presents more options. Hence this could be a useful service for those who buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and need to visit the site several times everyday.

There is one problem with it though, sometimes there are just too many reviews, especially when it comes to buying gadgets and home electronics. You can probably go through the first 10 reviews, but that’s about it. And that’s exactly what Pluribo (Firefox only) is all about. It can quickly analyze all reviews and produce a concise natural language summary for any product.

It tries to get only the important parts from the reviews and leave the ramblings out. What you get is a list of short summaries outlining pros and cons for that or the other product.

Check out the screenshot below.

Pluribo works directly from the Amazon product page without any redirects. Click reviews link and it will give you a quick list of pros and cons. Fast and simple. If you’re interested you can check out Pluribo demo video here.
