Amazon.com Announces New Shoe and Handbag Web Site, Endless.com

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN - News) today announced the beta launch of its new shoe and handbag web site, Endless.com, which features the unusual business practice of free overnight shipping (next business day) on all items. Additionally, customers can take advantage of free return shipping, a 110 percent price guarantee and an innovative navigation and search experience. The creation of Endless.com is a direct result of Amazon's obsession with customer satisfaction. By offering this truly rich and unique destination, customers will have an easy and flexible, not to mention fun, shoe and handbag shopping experience that they won't find anywhere else online.

"Endless.com is unusual in that we are offering free overnight shipping on everything," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "Plus, return shipping is always free and we offer a 110 percent price guarantee on items customers find cheaper somewhere else."

Currently, Endless.com offers over 250 brands and 15,000 styles and colors for men, women and kids, and our selection will continue to grow. Endless.com also provides 24-hour-a-day customer service phone support. For details and timelines on free overnight shipping, customers can reference the countdown clock on the top of every page, which lets them know what their order deadlines and delivery dates will be. In addition, customers will experience easy navigation, detailed product pages that include in-depth product description, customer reviews, and product images, as well as a zoom feature that allows customers to see all product details, whether it's a subtle pattern or a not-so-subtle texture.

Amazon believes that this vibrant and beautiful new shopping experience sets a new standard in service, convenience and product presentation. At Endless.com, customers will find a detailed search and navigation experience not currently found anywhere else online. Customers can shop by price, style, brand, size, and color all at the same time or separately. If a customer would like to conduct a search for gold and red ballet flats by Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden and BCBGirls in a size 8 and an 8.5, or conduct a different search for men's oxfords by Bruno Magli and Kenneth Cole in size 11 within a certain price range, they can. And when customers are ready to buy, they can use their existing Amazon.com accounts.
