I would have bought my 5G ipod off amazon, but i didn’t trust them to deliver it, and i wanted it NOW.

Personally, I buy all my ipods—five and counting—from my local Apple store. That way if something goes wrong, I want to be able to take it back to the store and talk to a live body. Hasn’t happened yet but I just want to play it safe.
I did buy my ER6i’s earphones from Amazon, though, for two reasons: I couldn’t find them locally and Amazon had them at a really great price.
I buy a fair number of books via Amazon but it’s not like anything can really go wrong with a book.
In any case, I don’t mean to knock anyone who buys their ipod(s) from Amazon or anywhere else. To each his own.
