Please list your favorite online shopping sites, from a design, user experience, and functionality perspective.
I work for a small consumer electronics manufacturer, looking to overhaul our e-commerce website.
I am looking for both web (department) stores and (especially) manufacturer stores that give you a good shopping experience.
We're also looking to keep people coming back to our site with community-based, interactive features, such as product reviews, forums, RSS feeds, etc, so please list any sites with those features.
Cool web 2.0 features, of course, get a bonus!

I like Zappos for the most part. It's a really simple to use site, with not a lot of flashy stuff that's useless.

second Zappos and the previous thread. Nice design ideas. Community interaction would have to go to Amazon.

Thirding Zappos. And besides a useful and well categorized website, they have a KILLER return policy - you have 360 days, they pay for your return shipping and all it takes is printing out a label from their website.

My favourite Web electronics retailer in terms of how up to date it is, the features, and the whole experience is eBuyer. I think they have a US wing, although are based in the UK primarily.

Apple's online store is really nice, IMHO.
I was reminded of this because of a blog I just read about frustrations of trying to order something at Dell's web site.

One of the more interesting outlier shopping carts is still Panic's

Another vote for Zappos. There are so many ways to browse and search, and they have multiple-view photos of their products. Also love their customer reviews.
