    I want to buy a Nintendo Wii + Wii Fit package for a friend in the USA, but I don't trust Amazon, as there are lots of reviews complaining about missing parts. So is there a site that anyone knows of which would be reliable? I've googled around, but can't seem to gauge them.

    I order through Amazon all the time and send the stuff to my missus in Massachusetts and I have never had problems with them. Always pick one of the faster delivery methods and out of the 50 or so things I have ordered in the past everyone of them have made it to her house ok.

    Amazon is reliable in our opinion

    I appreciate that many here consider Amazon to be reliable, but when I looked up the Nintendo Wii Fit bundle, it seemed that lots of customers were complaining about missing parts, and almost borderline on calling the offer a scam! Just had me worried. Not sure if I should go for it.

    Amazon is probably the most trusted and well established retail site in t he world. If you don't trust Amazon, then Internet shopping is not for you.

    If you are looking at buying from an individual on Amazon Marketplace, then that's a whole different story. You are not buying from Amazon, but from either a different retailer, or a private individual. Make sure you know who you're buying from.

    As Jor El has pointed out the Amazon market place is not to be trusted as you are Not buying directly from Amazon.

    From the sounds of it that's where you are seeing these comments. If you use the advanced search on the left you will see that Amazon are not actually selling the Wii Fit Bundle.

    But if they were they are one of the best out there. I will say though searching the web for all the trusted sites it doesn't seem available anymore.
