Title: Zinc Save - Buy on Amazon, Wal-Mart, Macy's, Target using Bitcoin
Post by: llama on March 17, 2014, 08:50:38 AM
Hello friends!

I'm proud to announce that our service Zinc Save (https://zincsave.com) now accepts Bitcoin! This provides a seamless way to purchase using Bitcoin on Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's, and many more to come.

Zinc Save (https://zincsave.com), which until recently only accepted credit cards, is the best way to buy online. We provide guaranteed savings and zappos-level customer support on most orders placed at common online retailers. Here's how it works:

  • Install our chrome extension or bookmarklet
  • Click the "Order with Zinc" button at the very end of checkout at a supported retailer
  • You'll be redirected to Zinc, where you can finalize your order using Bitcoin, and with guaranteed savings!

We're able to provide the savings by intermediating the order. This allows us to order the items from a lower cost vendor (when available, and always ensuring that item quality and shipping speed are met or surpassed). When we can't find a lower cost vendor for the order, we order on your behalf from the original retailer, while using all available coupon codes, credit card rewards, etc. But we guarantee you a set, lower price right when you checkout—regardless of whether we're actually able to fill it at that price. We are currently helping over ten thousand users save on their purchases, and we're excited to now open this up to the Bitcoin community!

See the full details on our blog (http://blog.zincsave.com/2014/03/the-most-seamless-way-to-shop-with.html)

Please let me know what questions you have. We're very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!

Doug

That's so sick. I'll definitely give it a try, do you ship internationally from amazon if Amazon offers that?

Are Amazon, Macy's target and Walmart aware of what you are doing?

If there is a problem with the order, is the contract between the user and the retailer or between Zinc Save and the retailer? Can a Zinc Save user get customer service directly from the retailer as normal?
