    Had no idea Amazon clothing offered was from China. Of course, Besides the month long wait, the garment was not as described; it was poorly made and a cheap tricot polyester that was supposed to be cotton blend. My problem with Amazon is false advertising as well. Had I known this was from China, I would have never bought it! Also, on some Amazon items, there is a NO RETURN, NO REFUND policy.

    On 7/9 before 1pm, I placed a large order with several items through my PRIME membership. On 7/13, the day the items were due to arrive, the largest item did not arrive and when I called to inquire AMAZON had no record of my order AT ALL. After 3 reps ON THE PHONE and 1hr later, I am told that an email relating to lack of inventory was sent ON THE DAY THE ITEM WAS DUE TO BE DELIVERED approximately 5min into my call with customer care. So AMAZON tried to cover up their mistake when it was so clear that the email was sent after I brought the missing product to their attention and not once before that.

    So basically, AMAZON advertises items that are not in inventory and market their items intentionally to charge you and mislead you. I was jaw dropped that a whole item was removed from my order unbeknownst to me and that I was only advised on the day it was due to arrive which was approximately 4 days after I placed the order. incredible that AMAZON felt this was an appropriate response. AMAZON had absolutely no resolution it was basically "too bad for you".

    On 7/23 before 1pm, I am ordering another item but just the one in this order as I needed it for next day use. All the way through the order my screen is reassuring that I will receive my order tomorrow and even have up to two hours to make this decision. After I placed my order I receive the normal notification stating that I placed the order but conveniently, the order now states it will arrive 7/27. So yet again AMAZON schemes to get your money. When I called to escalate I was fed so much policy jargon I completely lost it.

    AT THE END OF THE DAY when we as PRIME members especially, place orders online, we expect them to arrive as promised, not to mislead us with HUGE PRINT that states it can be delivered next day with the words "GUARANTEED DELIVERY" in all CAPS and in GREEN FONT but in super micro front beside it is the word "details" in lowercase and parenthesis. Do you know that Amazon's resolve was to state that despite everything on the webpage stating this item would be delivered next day, "THE little details OPTION WOULD CLARIFY".

    So as any concerned and hard working consumer, I cancelled my membership as well as my 11 family members due to their very own similar experiences. AMAZON can no longer be trusted to deliver items as described and as promised. NOT TO MENTION THAT AMAZON NO LONGER VETS ITS SELLERS AS COUNTLESS TIMES I've had fake products sent to my home. These items are usually not even half the quality so we as PRIME members sit tight for 2-5 days after our money is collected to send us anything but what we ordered.

    COUNTLESS REVIEWS ON AMAZON WILL SUBSTANTIATE THIS CLAIM. Simply go to amazon.com (even if not a member) and search for any basic household item like a lotion or soap.. Read the reviews under the brand you typically by in your local store and you will see HUNDREDS OF THESE CLAIMS. Now that people are being honest, AMAZON and its sellers refute the reviews! I gave a 5 STAR REVIEW for a facial toner that went up in price from $20-$50 and I noted this in my review as well. The seller disputed the review! At this point, it is abundantly clear we cannot rely on amazon's integrity nor its sellers to be forthcoming and honest in their business. I no longer support Amazon or Bezos. I cannot wait until the latest "Amazon' rebrands itself and starts over. This is ridiculous.

    Since the pandemic 2 day shipping is a thing of the past- which was understandable in the first 2 months. But now that most states have opened, one would expect the issue to have resolved itself. It’s a sad statement when a Prime order sits unshipped for weeks at a time. It is better to shop from other vendors at this point if you need it quickly. Sad.

    I ordered a Dual Cordless phone, I never received it. Amazon has no proof of me receiving it. Now as I ask for my money back on the product that was $31.99 Amazon will only give me $19.16 FEES "claiming I refused delivery - still no proof charging me shipping fees and 25% restocking fees." Funny thing is there is no tracking information. Come on, Amazon, you know you ALWAYS provide tracking information... So basically what I am saying is Amazon is not backing the products they sell aka the Customer is Always Wrong.

    Here is my experience so far with no resolution in sight: 6/26/20 I discovered an unauthorized charge for $1000+ computer on my account shipped to an address in GA. They received it that day. First I tried a chat and was told someone would get back to me in 2 days…TWO DAYS!!! So I hunted the website for 45 minutes and found a phone number. I called and got the same response. 2 days for fraud is unimaginable! Since I thought it would be stupid to wait 2 days. The credit card company disputed the charge the same day, I changed my password and the passwords to my credit cards that were listed and eliminated addresses I had not used in quite a while as well as the GA address. I also took off a couple of credit cards I had not been using much. I didn’t hear from Amazon in 2 days. I didn’t hear from at all.

    7/4/20 Tried to use my account/read a Kindle book I had already downloaded and was reading and found my account locked. Called at 7:30 pm and was told I’d get an email in 2 hours to unlock it. Didn’t get one. 7/5 Account still locked. No email. Called again and was told the department was closed for the Holiday weekend! Wait until next week. 7/13 Called again. The person I spoke to resent the email and filled out a form to get someone from the fraud dept to contact me. The email said the only way to unlock my account was to pay for the computer with a different credit card! 7/20 No contact from the Fraud Dept. Called again. She said, "You usually just have to wait for the “account specialist” to finish the review and send an email to unlock it." She checked for any additional info or comments. She found no new comments and said to wait until they contacted me.

    Be very wary when you purchase from Amazon. If it is a purchase for a 3rd party vendor, Amazon won't provide customer service. I ordered something on May 23, 2020 that still has not gotten to me. It shows up on my orders list as me needing to pick it up from the carrier. When I just noticed this, I called Amazon about it and they refused to take any action on it. They shouldn't be selling products for third party vendors in my opinion if they won't provide customer service in situations like this. I'm never buying another item from Amazon again. I suggest you think twice before purchasing a third-party vendor item from them.

    I have several issues to report. I have noticed that Amazon is slacking terribly on their two day shipping, which wouldn’t bother me other than the fact that I pay yearly for the promised 2 day delivery. Not much comes when as promised. In particular I ordered a swimming pool back in May, it never came. After several inquiries of where my product was I then requested a return. Finally a response stated that the product was held up in customs, the next excuse was that it wasn’t shipped because the price is different now. Amazon better figure out who they let sell on their website. So I order another pool, and actually they sent me an email stating that the product would be here sooner than expected, which was one week.

    One week came and still no pool, so I inquired about it and they quickly charged my account and then send an email that my shipment is delayed.... What in the rip off hell kind of business dealing is this? And even better I request a cancellation.... then they send me an email stating that they cannot cancel it because it’s is probably shipping now, and when I check on it it show that it is delayed and has not shipped. I have pictures of all of this. I’m thinking that Covid made Amazon simple? Big fat headache now. I have decided that I would rather go and put a mask on and support my local TARGET Store.

    This company is all about lies and manipulation. Their expected arrival dates are a lie, and their tracking system is fake. They make it up themselves. Just check the tracking number with the real carrier for yourself, and you'll see. Whatever you order, you can count on it being late, or not arriving at all. At that point they'll patronize you to death. Anything to maximize their profits, and screw the customer. I will definitely think five times before I EVER order from Amazon again. To top it all off, they don't let you leave a bad review either. Sharing the truth with the public is not allowed. Just more of their lies and manipulation.

    Before ordering from this site you should know two main things, the customer support you will receive is prewritten from a script and not based in US. Also, they have a no price matching policy, no price adjustment policy for that they themselves sell. The fact that a company this large does not do that is very disappointing. Another to be very aware of is the price gouging. They are notorious for that and rarely take action to remove disgusting items like blue lives murder shirts.

    I received a delivery from Amazon 11 July 2020. I found the picture taken by the idiot Amazon driver interesting because you'll notice that the package is oddly placed to the right of my door. Why? Because this very unprofessional and disgusting delivery person had taken the time to perfectly center the package on top of a large dead bug that came from the woods behind my apartment yesterday. This bug is easily over a 1.5 inches in length and 1 inch in width. There was no way this bug was not seen by this **. This act was intentional with the purpose of being disrespectful and offensive. This is the poor level of professionalism that Amazon allows its jerk delivery staff to display with no repercussion towards its customers.

    Amazon locked me out of my account. The only thing I have done different is I used a different browser...Firefox rather than my usual Safari...to sign in. I usually don't even have to sign in since my passwords are stored. It stated I entered an invalid password...I didn't. The customer service team rarely speaks clear English so it is hard to understand them. Yesterday, they said I would be locked out until today and today they said it would be another 24 hours...no reason given. Their website asked for a verification of a credit card...but it wasn't a current card and was one I had shredded, so I didn't know the expiration date. If they had asked for one I have used recently it would not have been a problem.

    The customer service is not efficient and their techniques are not good. I have been a weekly shopper for years. They also asked what the last couple of items I ordered were...I order online all of the time...I had no idea, though I could have given them dates and charges from my credit card which didn't seem to interest them. Really a nightmare to spend money with them once locked out for no reason that they will state. Beware!!

    I had the worse experience with Amazon today (July 9th 2020 12:56pm). I've been a Prime member for a number of years now, maybe since they first introduce it. Lately I've spent thousands of dollars in the last twenty something orders. But for some reason lately my packages haven't arriving on time or as expected. So I decided to to call customer service and inquire. To my surprise the customer service representative was not nice and very unprofessional. So I've requested to speak with a supervisor. This woman was even worse. She refused to give her full name or some sort of ID, only goes by is Linda (who knows if she's telling the truth).

    So I've tried to explain my situation but her attitude and tone of voice taken me aback. I got no satisfaction about why my packages were late. So I asked her what is the point for me to have prime service if I can't benefit from it? I was under the impression that it should be two days shipping. To my surprise she said it two days from the date of shipping not from day of purchase. While I was going through my orders, some took two weeks and more before it was actually shipped out. She told me for some them it was even earlier than expected. So why I'm complaining? And the ones that got lost it has nothing to do with Amazon. My goodness. Some please explain to me if it's okay for a package to take so long to ship and I don't have the right to inquire? What madness is this? What about the missing ones? So I decided to cancel my membership and demanded compensation. Of course that went nowhere. Only the service being cancelled.

    I asked Amazon to contact a seller for me because no one can reach them. Because they sent me a sink with hot/cold lines that were not connected and with no instructions on how to. There seems to be no way without taking the faucet apart. The reviews have multiple complaints about the illegible instructions and no one to contact but they continued to allow them to sell on their site. Asked a question under the product and the answer I received is that it should be connected...I just wanted them to reach out to the seller to see if the faucet could be exchanged for a proper faucet. I tried to provide pictures of the faucet and instructions and I was provided an email by an Amazon rep that does not accept external emails. The only thing they will do is schedule a pick up for a refund...so I have to repackage it and wait for a refund and find a new sink..great customer service.

    I was initially told that I would not receive a full refund due to the pick up...but after being passed between several reps (oftentimes they will simply disconnect if you do not type fast enough) they stated that I would receive a full refund however I simply don't believe them. I also requested that they "vet" their clients or at the very least the reviews of the products on their site because I came across another product and the reviews for it were for another similar product but an entirely different brand. Also upon further checking the reviews for the sink (the first reviews were good but for all I know they were for another sink) it is clear that the instructions are terrible and the seller cannot be contacted.

I read the expected dates, I look when they actually shipped so I can have a grasp when they're actually coming. EVERY single time they were delayed in the warehouse, scanned & shipped "Supposedly" not moving for days sometimes a week. "They were shipped from the truck to the docking bay"....(I used to work at UPS. I know how it works.) Then we all get this message. As it stays at the warehouse saying "Traffic delays". "Now expected June 29-July 7th". "We’re very sorry your delivery is late. Most late packages arrive in a day. If you have not received your package by tomorrow, you can come back here the next day for a refund."

    What's the point of having "Amazon Prime" if they can't keep their contractual obligation they made when people signed up for prime? "Two day Shipping Speed". Some items were offered as "The same day" which some of my packages were. You'd think they would address this with Covid going on. I'm not saying it's going to be what they promised but some notification like prime will take about 3-4 days long than expected due to Covid. On the the video portion of prime, yes there are some free tv series and movies..that most people don't want to watch..You can pay half that on hulu or something and watch several more season for free..2.99 episodes when it isn't included with prime...FYI Google charges half that.

Three hours later, a tenant knocked on my door with my packages. He said they were just laying in the lobby (unattended) along with other packages. He was delivering them because he would have wanted someone to do the same for him (my hero!) This is not the first time an Amazon driver has done this to me and other tenants. UPS, FedEx, and USPS all bring packages to my door with no problem. I don't know what kind of drivers Amazon hires that they just leave packages unattended out in the open!!! I wish there was a way to contact Amazon directly to report this because when drivers do this Amazon needs to know immediately.

    This mat set was expensive but made Cheap! The color Amber looks like lite Lavender and the middle piece doesn't lay flat because it's not wide enough. This set was almost $20 and now that I have it in person I wouldn't pay $5 for the set. I'm so mad right now.

    1. For £79 with "PRIME" you are meant to get next day delivery on loads of items. Well this is no longer happening. I know it's been partly down to the Virus, but Amazon still happy to charge the full £79 per year even though they know they can't always deliver next day when they say they can.
    2. Prime TV. One of the reasons I signed up to Prime was to watch "Suits" on TV (I know I'm sad), it used to be Free and part of the Prime package. I watched series 1 to (partway to) 3 and loved the series but now Amazon Prime want extra money to watch any more suits. So they hook you in, then make a charge. It's a bit like saying the delivery will be free, but when the Courier gets halfway to your house then suddenly want extra money before making the delivery.

    3. The sound quality is very poor. There is a delay between sound and picture - Checked it with a friend and he has same problem. So when actors speak it's out of sync.

    All in all, Amazon are getting too big. Services are declining but charges continue. Just be careful if you are thinking of joining Prime, it's used to be great but now, not so good - to say it politely!

    Amazon does NOTHING to protect their customers from hackers nor do they keep their promises to refund the amount hacked from your account. You are promised to be contacted by the fraud department within 48 hours and you call them back NINE DAYS later to get the same empty promise. The entire time, they have yet to refund your money. You set up two point verification, same day get hacked again. You change the password, you still get hacked. They offer no blocks on purchases, no ability to transfer your video purchases to a new account to protect you, you either take the loss and cancel or keep getting hacked.

    Since outsourcing, or as they call it re-contracting, their shipping has become an excuse. Order a tablet, your bank account is charged, on the day it's promised it never shows. You check the order, it says indefinite arrival date because it is out of stock despite the website saying it was in stock when you ordered it. You call support and they say they are not responsible because the shipper hasn't restocked the item, and they have no control if it shows in stock or not. You cancel the order and wait 96 hours for a refund then go downtown and buy it off the shelf for the same price. If it weren't for the loss of all the video purchases on the Amazon Prime Video account, Amazon would be only a bad memory. If you haven't signed up, then DON'T. It's like smoking, worst decision I ever made but can't quit now.

    Amazon Prime isn't worth it if you're wanting the 2 day shipping. I have been a prime member for several years. When you shop on Amazon and you see the prime delivery caption, you expect that you will have your product delivered in 2 days. Well, think again. When most people think of 2 day shipping, they expect their order to arrive in 2 days. Well, I'm sorry to say that this isn't the case. Here's one example.

    I ordered a support harness for my disabled dog on 6/26/20. The product offered 2 day shipping. When I got an email saying that my product would arrive on 7/5/20, I was really confused, I mean the only reason I didn't go to Petco or Petsmart is because I knew that I had 2 day shipping from amazon. Why was my order going to arrive 10 days after I ordered it when I pay a subscription fee every month for 2 day shipping? When I contacted Amazon they told me that the 2 day shipping starts after they obtain the order in their warehouse. Honestly, I probably could of got it faster without using Prime. Amazon is misleading and unreliable. I would not suggest signing up for Prime.

    During this corona pandemic Amazon shipping has been horrible. On my last 3 orders the items were not shipped for 2 weeks and when I contacted customer service the first response was cancel and reorder. Then I got so many wrong excuses such as, it was my credit card company, it was expiration date on card, it is a technical issue. I think they have a fish bowl with excuse cards next to the phone and reach in to pull out a card to read to you. No other company during this pandemic has had a problem with shipping and if there is a delay they notify you and keep you updated. Not Amazon. Only a couple of good reviews in month of June, what's that tell you about service.

    I use Amazon.com often, and 99% of the time, they do an excellent job. With the volume of business they do, it is understandable that occasionally problems will arise. Recently, I ordered a twin size bed, which is a bulky item and more pricey than my normal orders. It had a delivery date of two weeks later (most of my orders I receive in a few days). When the item was not delivered on the date it should have been, Amazon's tracking info stated I would have to contact the delivery company, which I did. They never received the item from Amazon. So, I went to Amazon directly and found that the item made it to my city, but not to the delivery company. It was marked as lost.

    First of all, you don't just lose packages. Loaders sign for them, unloaders sign for them, and there is a driver or pilot in between. If the package was damaged in transit, or even if it did become lost or stolen, they should have reached out immediately to determine if I wanted to replace the item or get a refund. In talking to Amazon Customer Service, I chose to reorder the item, but I asked if I could have it sent like an Amazon Prime service with expedited delivery for my inconvenience. This doesn't sound like an unreasonable request under the circumstances, since I now have to wait another two weeks. They could not do that.

    In attempting to reorder, they said they were having problems reordering the item, so I would have to get a refund. That's not a big problem, but I've already received the mattress that belongs to this bed and a replacement would be better. At the very least, they could have maybe offered a $50 gift card or something to keep my business, but they did not do that either. So my refund was processed and I returned to the seller's page and reordered the bed - without any problems in doing so. Again, I will have to wait two weeks to see if that order makes it through. I just think that as big a company as Amazon is, they could handle problems a little better than this.

Kept track of my credit card statements online and no refund was issued.

    On the 25th today I contacted the credit card company which stated they have not received it. Calling Amazon right after the first call and was told that it was issued to a gift card and they could do nothing about it! Boiling everything down they still have my money and I have to purchase $151 to use up my gift card on Amazon. I was never notified of this and wasn’t even aware of the gift card until I called.

    I have been an Amazon Prime Member for years, and up until recently, it was my favorite Company for on-line shopping. However, during the devastating COVID 19 Pandemic when corporations scrambled to put rigid safety requirements in place, while continuing to make customer service a priority through “SHelter-In-Place” employees, Amazon failed to step up to the challenge and instead turned their back on me and many of my friends and family members.

    Prior to COVID 19, Amazon's Customer Satisfaction and Service was outstanding. Once the restrictions started, Amazon’s Customer Service was no longer available, phone contact was discontinued, and emails went unanswered.

    Despite this change, Amazon continued to accept orders and ship increased volumes of essential products, while leaving many customers without recourse in resolving order problems, delivery errors, or ability to return items. As of this date, 06.24.20, Amazon's customer service phone number message still says they are not answering calls. Their CHAT option is now with a computer, and does not seem to be able to solve problems or offer solutions.

    I spent two months trying to reach Customer Service at Amazon using numerous communication methods, When I finally got a response from a real person on Amazon's On-line "Call-Me" function, I explained to the Customer Service person that Amazon delivered my shipments, (as well as many of my friend's shipment's) to the wrong addresses, they delivered items previously cancelled, they charged me for subscriptions not ordered, and left me without a way to reach anyone regarding these errors.

    I explained that I have kept meticulous records, with printed proof of my timely order cancellations, including two large,multiple-item orders that were subsequently delivered to the wrong person in the wrong State. I stated that I have photos, screenshots, and cancellation receipts that support my claims. I explained that during the past few months, Amazon charged me for subscriptions not ordered, and denied me the previous on-line function of returning wrong items on the same day received. I offered to email or mail via USPS, over 26 documents proving my claim and my right to a refund from Amazon. I did not receive the products or services that I was charged for. I explained that the person that received the shipments in error, called me and we both tried to return the items to Amazon on that same day, but only one item was eligible for a return.

    This Supervisor told me that the person receiving the wrong order, (that Amazon refused to return or refund), “should ship all of the items from Colorado to Nevada at their own expense, as they weren't supposed to get them”. She then reiterated that all of the mistakes were made by me and I was not entitled to a refund. Frustrated, I requested to be transferred up the chain of command. I Spoke with 3 supervisors, each one denying Amazon’s responsibility, and none willing to allow me to submit my plethora of proof. I received condescending remarks and their refusal to provide the name of a manager, director, or even a corporate address to allow me to submit my complaint, supporting documents, and request for a refund.

    I was told to email Amazon Customer Service. I explained I had already done this twice. I was then told, “well, at this time, customer emails are stored and not read." After two hours on the phone, I told the 3rd Supervisor I had spoken with that due to their lack of accountability, false accusations, and decline in Customer Support and Service, I will be cancelling my Amazon Account. I was told, “I just did that for you”. I am disappointed in Amazon and their negative change towards the customer, especially in light of all the positive changes made by other corporations during the COVID 19 crisis.

    I contacted Amazon multiple times and the last was with a supervisor named Matt who told me that what I described can not happen and did not happen. I asked him if he was calling me a liar and he did not say no, became rude and told me that there is nothing else that Amazon would do.

    Today I made the big mistake of wanting to shop from my desktop, rather than my phone. I have been a Prime member for years, and have not changed my login information in some time. Today it wouldn't accept my login and locked me out after only two attempts. The security question was NOT one I picked; it was verifying the expiration date of a credit card I no longer have. So I call customer service, and they're using Covid-19 as an excuse to bail out on customer service. I've called Verizon 6 times during the past week (don't ask lol), at all times of the day and reached a person, so don't tell me you can't at least have your call center working from home.

    Anyway, they were not taking any calls, so after I dug around for about 30 mins, I found another number. It's 800-388-5512, btw. I tell the rep what is going on and she immediately begins assaulting me with a barrage of questions. She asks me what the last 4 digits are of the credit card I have on file, which I don't know so I have to go get my wallet and all of that. I give her the number, and she says, "Do you have any other automatic payments or subscriptions coming out of this account?" Like my Prime account, or my checking account? Naturally, she had an accent and the line kept distorting, so I was having a lot of trouble understanding what she wanted. Exasperated, I half-yelled, "I don't know it's Amazon Prime and I get it on my TV too!"

    Then we move on to what my last 3 purchases were, which I didn't remember all 3. So now I have to get into my Amazon app, look it up and tell her. More unnecessary questions followed. I gave her: my address, my phone number, my old password, my credit card info, my last 3 purchases, and she has the audacity to tell me she's going to put me on hold and see if I (and I quote), "pass the test to reset your password." Excuse me? Test? I gave you everything but a blood sample, and you're going to put me on hold to go ask The Wizard of Oz if I can get into an account I set up in the first place???? Now I'm fuming.

    She then puts me on hold for 6 minutes, only to come back and tell me I failed my own identity, "test" and she cannot remove the security question or reset my password. I ask for a manager and she tells me they do not have an, "escalation department." So I ask her who decided I am ineligible to access my own account, and she goes, "I submitted it." She couldn't tell me who she sent it to or why I, "failed." She DID suggest, however, that I spend the rest of my day calling back and, "trying again with other people." UNBELIEVABLE. So, I hang up and call right back. After waiting on hold for 18 minutes, I hung up. Since then, I have let myself cool down...and have decided to cancel my Amazon subscription.

    Why am I LITERALLY paying money to be treated this way? There is nothing Amazon offers me, now, that I can't get anywhere else. Sometimes the 2-Day shipping applies, sometimes it doesn't. I ordered a deck of cards one time and it came in a box big enough to put a microwave in. The individual boxes the items come in are always damaged, and now with this idiotic fiasco, I'd be the idiot who continues to give my money to a place that doesn't give me my money's worth! The lack of regard Amazon has for the very people who have made it what it is today, is astonishing.

    The product was a Pandora charm in the form of a Ruby colored heart shaped stone with a Silver Micky Mouse character attached to it, it was perfect as a present for my wife because of the color as her name is RUBY and with the Silver Micky Mouse character very fitting for our 25th wedding anniversary. The item arrived in the time quoted for delivery which was perfect as our Anniversary was November 19th. My wife was thrilled with it and has worn it on her Pandora bracelet along with other Pandora charms I have purchased previously.

    Last week we noticed the Silver Micky Mouse Character had fallen off and cant be found, this is the only Pandora product that we have ever had an issue with, their products are normally good quality which is why we always buy original genuine pieces. We wrote to the vendor Karat24 who informed us we can either take it to a Pandora shop for repair with a receipt for proof of purchase or post it back to them, The nearest Pandora shop is 150 km from our home in a city we never visit, Karat24 didn't offer a pre-paid postage label so posting it from Spain to them in Germany with some secure postage is also not a practical solution for us because of the cost we would incur only to have a Faulty Purchase rectified, the item was not sold at a discount or reduced price, I could have bought it cheaper through another outlet online.

    However I always prefer to buy through Amazon both here and in the UK because I have confidence in the delivery times and customer service so was happy to pay the extra but there is no way we would consider paying extra to have the product repaired or replaced as it should be covered under the 2 year warranty, a warranty is worthless if it costs a disproportionate amount of its value to claim on.

    I made a review on Amazon, the review was mostly positive regarding the delivery and product, the only negative aspect was that it came apart after some months and I gave it only 2 stars. I received an email from Amazon to say it wouldn't be used because it didn't comply to its review policy, that was totally wrong, it did not break any of the rules or guidelines, the product had 100% 5 star reviews, my review would have changed that and I believe thats why it was not posted, if I didn't breach your review policy then would you please explain how, what part of my review didn't comply. The only conclusion that can be drawn from your refusal to post my review is that Amazon manipulates sales via the review process, encourages sales of some items by creating the impression that every purchaser of that item is 100% happy. Your observation and comments on the above would be appreciated.

    First, I’ve been an Amazon customer for 10 years and have ordered numerous items. However, I thought my credit card had been compromised and Amazon charges were part of the dispute totaling $35.90. I canceled my card as I felt it was compromised and Amazon has closed my prime account entirely, no Fire stick, prime video, photos, music can no longer be accessed. I immediately responded to Amazon about these unpaid items authorizing payment from another card, but like others have said they ignore emails and have robotic like responses from customer service stating they can’t help me to get my account back.

    I got another auto email demanding payment and I have reply over five times to charge the other card and unlock my account. I have called customer service five times and get a different story every time. Extremely frustrating and I think the people in customer service enjoy getting the customer angry and upset.

In fact amazon did not recognize the new address. I spoke to several customer services reps and explained that I needed to update my mobile number and remove the old dated email address.

    The 2nd person I talked to said he was filling out an incident report and that someone would contact me in 24 hours. That was 2 weeks ago. I spoke to the last rep over a week ago and she told me that she would personally call me back in 72 hours this time. That was 7 days ago. So in 3 efforts to get a situation resolved the only thing Amazon has proven is that they care not for loyal customers and to prove it they will lie to you repeatedly. Anyone reading this should be beware of Amazon and how little they care about your security. Report Card..."F".

But in the product detail it was saying: Processor (CPU) Model Intel Core i7. This was not correct and hence I enquired Amazon to tell me what exactly is the processor because if it's Core i7, I should surely be interested. I have received email from Amazon before I placed the order stating that this is processor type Core i7. The item was hence ordered. And now it is delivered and I see that the processor is not a Core i7 but much much lower than than being Intel Celeron.

    I have told Amazon to look into this and since they mis sold me a Intel Celeron Chromebook saying that it is a Intel Core i7, please provide me with a Core i7 Chromebook in the same price since it is not my fault. I confirmed it from them and then only placed the order and I have the proof for the same as emails from sales reps and management. (2 emails). Now Amazon just turns a deaf ear and says that they can only replace an exact replica of the same model!!! How does that help. I still dont get what I paid for which was as per the advert on Amazon! It occurred on: 11/06/2020. This meant that I am totally shattered and tired chatting over and over to them. I am really down in moral and dont want to talk to them again!

    I have been a loyal prime customer for so many years and they dont have the simple courtesy to look into the matter wearing the customer shoes. I was even told that "you can please look into whatever avenues you have to solve this matter" when I said that I have to then complain this mis selling to my bank. At least they can refund the whole price of the item I bought and I keep the item OR Provide me with the Intel core i7 Chromebook with 2 in 1 touch screen facility as this one and exactly as the advert states, without any extra charge.

    Now that Amazon has decided they could save money by doing their own delivery it has went downhill. 4 out of the past 8 deliveries have either been late or the box in horrible shape when it arrived. Now for the 3rd day in a row I am waiting for a package that was supposed to be delivered on Sunday. Even though there is 24/7 access to the property and phone numbers at the gate they say "unable to deliver". But 50% of the time is unacceptable. I am going to use other companies going forward. I can't trust Amazon any longer.

    Stopping schemes across the U.S. Thank you Amazon & Consumer Affairs. I received a fraudulent email saying they were Amazon and I needed to reset my credit card info to my Prime membership as it was about to expire. I knew it was a fraud (I buy from Amazon but not through Prime) & was going to contact Amazon to turn the email address in (which was horrendously suspicious in itself) but see that they have already taken up the cause to stop these thieves. Never give out your credit card info to anyone you don't know. They would never ask in such a manner.

    I have found Amazon.com to be one of the most difficult companies to try to deal with if you need customer service. They are currently providing no telephone customer service and their website can only be described as very confusing to try to use. They cannot seem to keep their records accurate regarding their customer account information. We have repeatedly gone over with them the account they should have for us as we are paid on that membership through next January. We have repeatedly reviewed with them the monthly account that they should not have for us, yet they continue to show that account and that they will charge our credit card for that account when it expires the end of this month.

    Over a week ago now they promised to issue a credit to our credit card for a monthly membership charge for this account yet they still have not done so and trying to contact them by phone to get this corrected is impossible as they have no telephone customer service. While they have good prices for the products they sell and good delivery services, their customer service is just awful. Beware if you need customer service help from them.

    I am a Prime Member. I purchase a lot of goods thru Amazon. I have written MANY reviews. I wrote a review on Skywalker trampolines. I was specific, I didn't curse, I detailed the product and the problems I have had with it, I also reviewed that Skywalker's customer service in getting replacement parts was deplorable. I recommended to not buy one to save others the trouble. My review was censored. It seems to me that honest reviews on products sold by Amazon should be allowed to be displayed for members to read. This experience is causing me rethink my consumer relationship with Amazon.

    I have been an Amazon Prime customer for years and in most ways I am happy with my experience. However, if I submit a review which is even mildly critical of Amazon's own service, they refuse to post it. I have had several reviews rejected recently for reasons which I cannot fathom other than that I referred to Amazon service in a negative. In other words, they insulate themselves from any adverse comments. They also make it nearly impossible to get a refund for an undelivered product, without a fight.

I wanted to cancel because I bought cloth ones long before May. Wouldn't let me cancel this order. Once I received it, it was only 50 surgical masks and not 10,000. I have a printout of the quantity that I ordered. What makes it worse is that I logged into Amazon to write an Amazon review on this order, and when I accessed the order and clicked on write a review, I got the following message 'It couldn't find this order'.

    I recently received an email in regards to my account on Amazon.com in which the company claims that all I do is much purchases and return them which I hardly ever order but since this pandemic, I've had no choice but to order from them since Best Buy is closed and Target is a little off in the distance. My ordeal started with an order I made for a CD/DVD binder that allegedly holds 400 CD's. I needed this binder to store some of my jazz CD's that have been sitting in a box in my closet for a long time. My order however was not only delayed but it never got here and as a customer, I have a right to complain especially since we're talking hard earned money.

    I complained to inquire about the order because on their site it said and I quote "IF YOUR ITEM DOES NOT ARRIVE, PLEASE CONTACT US IN TWO DAYS" and that is exactly what I did. I followed all the instructions they gave me. I filed a complaint and what was done was done. I'm writing this primarily for the simple fact that they like to send threatening emails threatening your account even if you follow their guidelines for your orders. Mine was that they would review my account and this is not only time I was threatened about this matter.

    About a year or two ago, an agent threatened myself personally and my account through their chat and I had to get a supervisor to talk to because he closed the chat after refusing me to connect me with one. After a long hour or so dealing with this supervisor, I was still upset that this matter was not resolved positive. Regardless my account was in good standing then because I rarely ever ordered from them soon after that incident and the way I was treated personally. Now, due to lack of options to get items I would normally would prefer to buy in person, I've had no choice but to order from them.

    What irritates me most is that once I got the email, I immediately contacted them about this email. I wanted to file a complaint about the matter and they told me that my account was fine. Yet, I didn't believe the agent who told me that and requested a supervisor when proceeded to tell me "that I misunderstood the email I got and that it was sent automatically by their computer system as "Account Specialist"." So basically the computer is the one threatening me according to the supervisor I talked to. A threat is a threat no matter who writes it and it is a shame that a company does not own up to their own mistakes but also a misconception about one's account on their site.

    Yes, I have had problems with their deliveries and dissatisfied with how their products arrive thanks to shoddy packaging for CD's and movies. I mean who hasn't had problems with their shipping methods which also include their workers leaving them in areas where other people can steal your items which has happened to me in the past. The way I see this email, it is a basic threat that if I make another complaint about anything, I could have more problems in the future with them. Which is definitely not fair and I stated that to the supervisor.

    As a customer I have every right to complain if the items are not to my satisfaction or to report a problem like everyone else does. I had to get the supervisor to state this on the record about my account because I wasn't going to tolerate this anymore. I still firmly believe that someone from their Customer Service or Account Specialist division sent the email and did not sign their name because they don't want to get reported to the company for threatening people with false allegations. Which is cowardly and horrible because its customers like myself who keep them in business and without us, they wouldn't be in business.

    After a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the matter and I still not very trusting about it, the supervisor wanted to give me a credit towards a future purchase, which did not happen. Why offer something if you're not going to give it to the person for their trouble? Am I right? I try to be accepting of a situation but when you're threatened by a company that depends on me as a customer to make their money, that leaves you with a very sour taste in my mouth. They offer you something and then they won't do it like the credit. It's appalling that an agent or supervisor would do that and pull the rug from under you.

    I have been extremely careful of late and have been in the past when I have ordered because like eBay, I've grown extremely distrustful of companies like this not giving customers the best treatment possible especially in customer service. eBay is still worse with Amazon not far behind in my view. That's why I suggest for customers like myself not to trust what they say and always follow up on every matter possible because either way, you're the customer and you're entitled to the best service possible from customer service to receiving the item to your personal satisfaction. It is your right to let them know if there's something wrong and not get the runaround like they try to take you on. It's not right that they still don't want to take responsibility for things that are beyond the customers control and when the issues start with them from the word go.

    The customers don't ship to themselves or handle the items to ship to their houses. Come on. I wish it was that easy but it is not and they have no right to threaten anyone or for that matter, tease you in fixing a matter and they don't. I hope they start correcting their customer service because it is still lacking in consumer confidence. Especially mine.

    Everything I have had trouble with occurred before Coronavirus, so that's not the problem. I have become unable to work with Amazon's Customer Service reps at all because of their severe inability to solve (or even comprehend) the simplest of problems that I have encountered including: A review of mine was stolen (they were able to confirm that) and copied as a review for a competing book summary. I spent hours on-line and on the phone with them over multiple days to have this corrected, and it never was. I couldn't delete the review, but was finally able to EDIT it to ADD the information I explained above.

    I have been unable to reply to comments of my own reviews on numerous occasions, and have, again, spent hours trying to resolve this with Customer Service to no avail. I have had to create additional accounts in order to resolve this problem, and ludicrously, I am able to reply to comments on my review using these alternate accounts, but NOT ABLE TO REPLY USING THE ACCOUNT UNDER WHICH THE REVIEW AND ITS COMMENTS APPEAR! A Customer Service rep. OFFERED TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM IF I WOULD PAY HIM $150 AND ALLOW HIM TO HAVE ACCESS TO MY COMPUTER! I hung up on him, and ANOTHER REP. IMMEDIATELY CALLED ME BACK to ask if he could help me with my issue.

    I told him about the "offer" his associate made, and he ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE WAS AWARE OF IT AND THAT HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP ME FOR FREE!! I asked if he was going to report this, and could not get a straight answer. He kept me on the phone for an hour, and was unable to resolve the issue in any manner, and many times I had to repeat myself over and over, explaining the issue very slowly, asking after every few words "Do you understand what I have just said?" to which he replied "Yes", but when he finally re-stated what I had told him (for the hundredth time), he STILL could not understand the issue, which was simply that I was noticing that numerous reviews under several books about Donald Trump were being deleted, and that I suspected the people doing it were either using illegal software that was openly being sold on the internet to allow anyone to delete anyone else's Amazon review.

    Although I explained this many different ways, in small doses, referring him to exact reviews as well as the exact search results, he was never able to repeat back to me what I had explained to him, even though he kept assuring me that HE WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE (that he did not understand). It has never been resolved, and it is still going on to this day. The other even more troubling issue related to this I have repeatedly reported to Amazon Customer Service through "Chat" and through telephone, is that I have IDENTIFIED possible Amazon Employees who may be changing and deleting positive customer reviews of books that are critical of Donald Trump.

    I have repeatedly pointed out changes, deletions, and moved reviews of these types within the reviews of multiple books that, if made by Amazon employees, would be very easy for Supervisors and Managers to track right to the person at Amazon who is doing these things. I even trapped them multiple times by writing positive reviews for critical books about Donald Trump that have been DECLINED as "not within the guidelines of Amazon", when they were absolutely within the guidelines.

    I even kept making them so very, very much within the guidelines that: 1) it was impossible for them to be considered "unpostable", and 2) when I added a sentence such as the following to the review, it was THEN POSTED within hours - what I added to the review was "Ivan, I think you are messing with the 2020 election, and you'd better post this review or eventually someone at your job is going to catch you.", and even when I pointed this out point blank to customer service, and they said they read it, nothing was done about it!! They did not do what they said they would do and have a manager get back to me to verify that my earlier posts were within guidelines and had been declined by an employee for no discernible reason - until I said that they were going to out themselves to their own management! Then the review was posted WITH my warning intact!

    It was obvious to me they were certain that they were less likely to be caught by other readers of the review, than by their own manager if I somehow was able to get SOMEONE in Customer Service to report this misbehavior. However, the Customer Service associates I spoke endlessly to about this, and also sent them copies of the unposted reviews that were DECLINED simply because they said something like "Positive Reviews of This Book Are Being Declined Illegally Either By Amazon Employees, Or Are Being Illegally Deleted With Illegal Software Available On The Internet (to which I gave the site addresses). Amazon is being hacked constantly by either its own employees or "others" outside of the company, and I can't get ANYONE to do anything about it.

    It is very difficult for me to believe that the hours of "chats", phone calls, copies of bated and/or declined reviews could not make it past the Customer Service associates UNLESS THEY WERE TOLD TO IGNORE THEM AND NOT REPORT THEM UPWARD. I believe that Amazon is a major source of 2020 Internet Election Tampering, and I have provided AMPLE evidence to Customer Service to no avail. They keep me on the phone for up to 1 to 2 hours making me re-state myself, and then repeating it back to me, saying they understand and putting me on hold, but always repeatedly telling me to stay on the line and they will get right back to me with some sort of explanation as to how they will proceed.

    They NEVER give me an explanation, and begin to behave like everything we had agreed on only minutes ago, was now completely incomprehensible to them - even when I copied and pasted their earlier "chats" to them, showing that in their OWN WORDS they said they completely understood me, reiterated my words back to me, and stated they would come back with a resolution. I have stopped bothering, because it is clear to me that this company knows it is being used as a stomping ground for Election Interference for the 2020 American Presidential Election, and they have no plans on doing anything about it. It is RAMPANT.

    So, is that ENOUGH information to substantiate my claim that Amazon Customer Service, contrary to other comments on this very site stating they LOVE this company and give it 5 stars up in a circle? I'm stunned that so many people say it's just great, when everyone I know has also stopped contacting Amazon Customer Service for ANY complaint because they get a big run around, just like me, and there is never any resolution.

    Speaking of 2 day shipping, I haven’t gotten any of my orders in the last year, in less than 5 days. Which just encouraged me more into canceling prime.

The Amazon customer service asked me to return the deck plate a second time and re-order the faucet at a higher price and promised Amazon will do a price match later.

    Amazon then created a fault shipping information for the new order, letting me believe it will arrive on May 22. However, the faucet never arrive. On May 27 I contacted Amazon again and was told I will be refunded.

    I am concerned about Amazon's payment process. For past orders, I was charged separately, one time, for each item. It was a hassle but the total amount paid was the amount shown on the website. On my last order, my card was charged twice for the same item. When I called customer service, the first representative did not help me and sent me a very unprofessional email. So, I asked to speak to a supervisor. The woman that I talked to told me Amazon always places an initial charge for the full amount to be sure the money is there. That charge is supposed to "go away." Then, the company charges a second time for the full amount, which is the actual payment.

    My card company stated that both charges are actual charges but that one charge is not delivered. This means that Amazon actually billed me twice for the same item and that I have to wait until the charge drops off (in this case, 30 days) to be sure the company did not collect both payments. The Amazon supervisor told me that my card company is wrong and the first charge is not an actual charge. She also sent me an email stating that I was completely wrong. I have kept both emails as proof and I'm waiting to see if the charge actually drops from my card account.

The invoice charges me a certain amount but they take the money out of my bank account in increments and since taxes are charged on each item, I have a really difficult time knowing for which item they are withdrawing money. One example is they took $158 out of my account after I made an order for that much, then they put $72 back in and then took it out, put it back in took it out, put it back in and then took it out.

    I have been buying things from Amazon for years and this is something that has only started in the last year or so. When I contacted Amazon about it, they said it was an automatic thing that happened. Until then, I thought it was a new employee who was incompetent. I would close my account within the someone hadn't given gifted me a Kindle for Christmas A couple of years ago. I am so done with amazon.com.

    Amazon sent me an email asking me to review all the products we have order from them since we opened our account two years ago. I did, giving 4 or 5 stars to all the products except 2, where I gave a 1 star rating, one because it was an inferior product and we returned it, and one because we never received the product and Amazon tried to charge my credit card for it anyway. Amazon posted all my positive reviews, but reviewed to post the two bad ones. They sent me their rules for a review and my two rejected ones met all the criteria. SO DON'T TRUST AMAZON'S POSTED REVIEWS FOR PRODUCTS. THEY ONLY POST POSITIVE ONES!

    Amazon Prime used to be one day, now it's becoming longer like 3 to 5 days. It's better to just go out and buy all the required items in brick-and-mortar stores so I can have them in just a few hours. I hope competition is coming because it will soon be easy to beat Amazon with its shabby service.

    Be careful dealing with Amazon, they no longer care about customer service. This always happens when a company gets so big they no longer have effective completion. I’m old, 100% disabled American veteran and in the Covid 19 compromised immune system category which is the self-quarantined population. Like many of you, I’m working from home. When a piece of equipment fails I usually run to BestBuy, Staples or OfficeMax and have a replacement in 2-3 hours. The only online purchases I make are with Amazon as they have driven away the local printer cartridge business. On May 7, I ordered a Logitech keyboard and mouse from Amazon and it arrived late May 20 and it didn’t work. Very frustrating, after spending 13 days of dealing with a broken keyboard. The only instructions were printed schematics on the box, basically no help.

    I called Amazon; they used to have a great customer service help desk. Not anymore, Covid-19 made it disappear and it will not return, as Amazon is only about profit. I spent 4-5 hours on the internet looking for help and gave up. On May 21, I called BestBuy, placed my order and 3 hours later it was ready to be picked up.. I brought it home (curb side delivery) and had it working in just 10 minutes. It is a better keyboard and only cost $2.78 more! (I have free shipping.) Amazon is growing by leaps and bounds. I heard yesterday they hired 150,000+ new employees while BestBuy and I suppose all of the local retailers are struggling. Be careful, Amazon is likely to be our only source of the things we need. They even own Whole Foods, how long until we get all of our groceries from them? Amazon already sells everything except prescriptions, and that is only a license away!

    Updated on 05/23/2020: Per current Amazon standard, they ask the consumer to deal directly with the seller which is a very strange way of doing business using the internet. Anyways, after exchanging tons of messages with the seller about a shipment that was due to arrive on May 12 (today may 23), his final input was that he refunded the money. When I asked him when the refund was made, he stated that I need to approach Amazon as it seems that they hold the refund for 4 to 5 weeks. His input was not valid due to the fact that I was faced with similar problem with my very first order and the refund was made within 48 hours. Did ask the seller that he must advise Amazon to refund and credit my card. All this going on and not a single message or interference from Amazon. Pure waste of time and efforts. Hope that this will not drag on forever. In the meantime, glad that I canceled my membership..

    Original Review: Last April have placed few orders, around 9 items, on Amazon. One was rejected by customs and presume shipped back to the seller. One item never delivered and therfore Amazon decided to cancel the order. Only 2 items were received. The biggest handicap is that as a buyer of the product, we are asked to deal directly with the seller. A pure waste of time and effort and most of the time such seller has a very negative attitude. All this going on and not a single interference from Amazon!! Two items should have been delivered on May 12 and yet till date ie, May 21, nil received. When I approach the seller, the reply is: not to worry... They are on the way...

    On the other hand, while all these kind of communication with the seller going on, Amazon's famous tracking order system, which is a tool for the buyer to make a follow up on all his purchases, is still showing inaccurate data ie, still my two orders will be delivered on May 12...weird.....!!?? Will be canceling all the orders and have asked all the sellers to credit my Amex... I will not pay for anything that will not be delivered and/or delivered late.... Bottom line: will not go through such bad experience again...

    I ordered this product under the impression that it was a Solar Reel and blanket, when the item arrived it was only the blanket. I called Amazon not knowing Amazon was a third party so I explained to Amazon what I I thought I ordered and was wondering when I would receive my reel. At that time Amazon told me that they were not the seller of the product but would email the seller and let them know. I received an email 24 hours later from the seller stating it was only the blanket and that point I told them I wanted to return the item since I was more interested in the Solar Reel. So they did send me address where to send it back to so yesterday I went to Postal Store to send it back which cost me $25.50.

    Now with me having to pay that to return it I'm only receiving half of my refund! I don't feel I should have to pay for that since I also feel their verbiage of the product is stating you'll get both item. I called and spoke to a Judith ** who states they will not pay for the postage since I got what I ordered, I explained to her that what it says it could give the buyer a wrong impression of what they're buying. I reread it to her more than once and she was not helping me out much. "20 ft. Winter Solar Reel and Blanket Cover" I told her the word AND makes their product sound like both items.

    So a family member decided to get us some diapers for our newborn before he was born. Got us 4 boxes of the same size, it was my understanding that I had 1 year to return baby items, our baby hit a growth spurt and before we got to use the diapers he was out of that size. I tried to call Amazon for weeks but they are not accepting calls, so finally I decided to chat with someone and for a whole hour I had to beg them to let me return the still sealed boxes of diapers for a different size.

    The representative was rude to me, this is $200 worth of diapers they wanted me to just keep, telling me the return window closed because my dad didn’t click on the registry link, a lot of people don’t understand how to do that, it doesn’t mean the diapers is not for a baby!!!! Finally they let me return it but took the cost for a whole box of diapers out of my refund. In these hard times I’m very disappointed in how they handled the situation. I shouldn’t have to beg for 1 hour and they knew they could help???? So they let me return them but now I’m a box of diapers short for our baby, brings tears to my eyes.

    I have used Amazon for several years and always did so because of one thing, I felt I could almost always trust the shipping dates. Now I have noticed a trend on Amazon of showing dates that are a week to weeks out because, I assume, of Covid 19. What I find distressing and has caused me to purchase elsewhere is that the shipping dates are not even close to when you will really get the product. They keep telling me my purchases have been shipped but please allow another 7 days. I have had this happen for up to a month past the date it was supposed to be here. In addition they eventually tell me it was lost in the mail so to speak. This sounds like they just wanted to keep the sale as long as they could, and the money, even though they probably knew they could not get the product. So now I don't purchase there anymore. This is very sad. I can wait but I don't like being manipulated.

Contacted FedEx, their records showed it was delivered??

    How could that be if I never received it and Amazon still showed running late. So I been working from home now for 2 months with a bad back.

What truly infuriates me though are the "hidden products" that will never show up in your product search unless you type in a very specific title or use a link found elsewhere. This is not accidental as these products are generally either "sponsored" or Amazon products only. Is it unreasonable to expect to be able to search for and find those items I am after?

    A few years ago when I signed up for Prime, it was for the free one/two day delivery. Most of the items I purchase show as being sold and shipped by Amazon, not third parties. Office supplies are the only items shipped next day, and I can get those at the same price locally, so I really don't need to get them from Amazon. Everything else is four to ten day delivery and sometimes that will be extended at the last minute.

    Yesterday I was going to order an item on Amazon and they quoted me a delivery date of seven days for a prime item. Wal-Mart is delivering in two days. I'm not a fan of Wal-Mart, but no one else carried the item. The whole purpose of paying $120.00+ a year (it was $99 when I signed up), is to get free, fast delivery. After a conversation with my wife, we saved $120.00 a year by canceling Prime. We'll use the savings to buy local, or use gift cards for gifts to local stores. We've returned to shopping for the best buy and not paying to be a member of a business that no longer provides the services promised.

I got on their site to request a return for a replacement and it showed that the replacement date would be mid to late June which was way too far out as I needed it now so I changed my return request to a refund to my original payment method. I then took the cabinet to UPS to return it and received a confirmation that a replacement was being sent which is NOT what I requested. Again, this replacement that I canceled showed a June arrival.

    I went back in AGAIN and requested to cancel it for a refund and then customer service tells me that they can’t cancel it bc it’s “almost going to be shipped” and that they can’t do anything about it. This is completely unacceptable and the complete lack of desire by the customer service representative to fix a problem that was a mistake on their end is appalling and overall just disappointing.

    I had already bought a new cabinet that I needed after I initiated my return for a refund and now they are saying, “not my problem, but when it arrives in June (a month from now) you can refuse it and then we can give you a refund.” I have never had such an awful interaction with customer service in my entire adult life. The incompetence and overall lack of care for me as a customer for a mistake that is not even mine is mind blowing.

Then on the date of delivery the status says “out for delivery” then gets changed to the following week?? Ok, so I contact the chat since no customer service reps are available to talk?? The rep says the product is “out of stock” and I ask how it is possible because when I ordered the product it was still “in stock.”

So I asked if Amazon normally lets sellers list products for sale when they don’t have an adequate supply to meet the amount of sales they are getting? When I asked that Jennifer asked me “What do you want me to do?” I kindly thanked her for the attitude and she said she would like to help me so I asked her to read the question I asked. So she replied it is out of stock again. I can only attribute this type of customer service to someone who didn’t know English or how to read it and/or Amazon has a robot doing their customer service. It was very annoying and frustrating.

    I have ordered over 15 things this month along and it’s only the 7th.... I will be hitting the stores from now on COVID or not. These are just my personal opinions and I have only had one experience with customer service, but for this to be my one time?!?! If you never have to contact customer service Amazon is amazing, just if you ever need customer service and use the chat, you get an attitude and some of the worst customer service ever.

    So I have the Amazon app store where I download games etc. Well there is one game I have spent ALOT of money on which I use Amazon coins to purchase things in game. Well couple days ago I went to buy more because I needed things in the game to heal my units. Well none of my purchases were going through. I contacted Amazon, they said it was their system on their end canceling my orders, so they said its nothing on my end and said they forwarded it to their specialist team to get it fixed. They said give them 24 hours. So I gave them 24 hours, still no fix and no updates. So I contacted them again. And they said they are working on it and to give them 24 hours AGAIN and it will be fixed.

    So once again I waited 24 hours, well needless to say still not fixed after 2 days and I lost $500 worth of units in my game because of THEM. And now when I contact them they said there is nothing they can do besides submit it to specialist team again. This is highly ridiculous and uncalled for. I was lied to multiple times and they aren't doing anything to make it right. I feel they should compensate me for the $500 I lost now because of them.

    Amazon needs to be held accountable for the corrupt vendors that are utilizing their platform. The Factory Depot is one of their vendors, and for years people have complained about them and Amazon did nothing. I want my money back $192.05. On April 04, 2020 I purchased a 19 inch Dell Computer Monitor on Amazon.com. I paid $192.05. After I placed the order I realized it was the wrong size monitor. Unbeknown to me, I had purchased the monitor from an Amazon Vendor, Business name "THE FACTORY DEPOT". I tried to cancel the order, but was unable to, the monitor had already gone to shipping. Once I received the monitor I contacted Amazon. The COVID-19 Quarantine had gone into effect. Amazon had messages on their site regarding this, and no customer service reps are taking phone calls.

    "THE FACTORY DEPOT" UNDER SELLER, STATED,"Most items ordered from Amazon or our Seller partners between March 1 and April 30, 2020 can now be returned until May 31, 2020." I have reached out to "The Factory Depot" via email. They are stating they need 48 hours, and they're not answering the phone, it is past 48 hours. The monitor is still in its original packing and unopened. This monitor was for employment. I still had to purchase another computer monitor in the correct size. I purchased the 2nd monitor on amazon.com. These are difficult times right now, and the Factory Depot is profiting off of people's misfortunes.

    This monitor has been in my possession less than a month. In different circumstances it would have been returned by now to Amazon. I have been an Amazon customer for years and have spent a lot of money with this industry. Amazon needs to stop allowing corrupt venders to sell products on their platform. I want "The Factory Depot" to honor the return process and give me back my money...$192.05.

    This is my experience with Amazon. I think they’re total liars and thieves. And this is why. I signed up as an individual bookseller, only because Amazon promised me verbally and in writing that they would not screw me over with fees. So I signed up, but never used the service. Don’t make the mistake I made by ignoring your checking account. Because I discovered by accident that they’ve been stealing from my bank account. Amazon charged me for three months about $40 per month. You better believe, if they’re stealing from my bank account, they’re stealing from many, many, many other people as well. They deserve a -10. That’s how I feel about Amazon. They are dirty rotten scoundrels.

    Forgot my password so tried to reset. Asked me for my card expiration date, which I correctly entered 3 times before I got locked out of my account. Had to call and they were nothing but useless. They asked me the item, date, and amount of my last three purchases. When I explained that I don't know exactly, because I cannot get into my account to check, I was told that I failed the questions and need to make a new account. I had answered the last 4 numbers of my card, my bank, my address, and other various questions correctly but for some reason this wasn't enough. This was after being on hold for 10 minutes. I called back, waited again for about 7 minutes on hold before giving up. Finally, I'm trying for a third time to get my account back and have been on hold for 11 minutes so far. Horrible, horrible customer service.

    I have been a great customer to Amazon for years and am considering not shopping there any more. They have terrible third party sellers that make your shopping experience a nightmare. When you leave honest bad reviews Amazon rejects them. Amazon only posts good reviews as if they are paid to reject negative reviews. This is not good customer service. How can you do that to your loyal customers?!

    I am so sad that after all these years of good quality service and items that only Amazon can provide with such wonderful prices, the owners and the founders are becoming selfish in their motives of overcharging customers unnecessarily because they see nothing but money. We are all in the same boat with the COVID 19 and half the population is not working yet and they're being selfish and greedy. So how are they really caring for their customers and not taking advantage of them. We are paying for PRIME and the tax and the shipping is so unjust. They will lose customers instead of gaining more. So I guess they are striving to become richer and not caring about others and their situations. Thank you.

I am all-for prioritizing medical and healthcare supplies, but by delaying my other orders they are saving a lot of shipping money! I have not heard any offers of a discount on my Prime subscription, but I will admit that I don’t read all of the notices I receive, so apologies to Amazon if they have discounted the subscription rates.

    Most if not all Toilet paper coming from China is tiny toilet paper. So small the roll can fit in your palm of your hand, 6 rolls equals 1 roll. Then they say it will cost $30 to ship it back to China, but that is not true because they got Warehouses in USA. This is a scam that Amazon Allows to happen to make them lots of money. Check out the reviews for sellers of any toilet paper coming for China on Amazon. I have read over 40 and most all having the same problem.

Then on their return item page you have no resources to get them to send you the missing two items. You only can return it. That sucks. I just canceled my Amazon credit card. It's just not worth the trouble anymore to buy from amazon because you cannot rely on them to ship what you order and pay for.

    Now I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic. There are other orders of importance. However, paying and ordering through Prime and my order taking as long as a none prime members is garbage. Amazon has no problem charging me for services but, I obviously am paying to be treated as a non prime member. Can I watch movies from prime? Yes I can, of course the movie selection is terrible and you can find all those movies on Netflix or Hulu. So maybe Netflix should stop offering prime if they won’t even partially honor the service.

    I returned an item on Amazon, and the seller has refused to refund my purchase money. He said I didn't include shipping information, but that is not true. Amazon also refuses to refund my money. I have been working on this refund for over 6 months now, and it is still not resolved. Also, a week ago, Amazon charged my credit card $125-ish to re-up my account (I canceled it months ago). When I canceled my account AGAIN, I got an automatic message that I would be credited $13-ish for the amount I hadn't incurred. I did NOT incur $100 worth of fees/charges in one week. Amazon also refuses to give that money back. For a company with literally BILLIONS of dollars, I'm asking for my little $200 back. That's a lot of money to me. I will keep trying, but I'm losing hope. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!

    I had the correct email when I signed up for Amazon, and I still get emails sent to the correct email when I order items off of Prime, however, amazon removed a piece of my email on my amazon account and so they had the wrong email on their end. Somehow, I still receive Amazon's confirmation emails (sent to the correct email) when I purchase items through my Prime membership. It makes absolutely no sense. Then when I couldn't log in, I had to jump through hoops just to find their customer support number. That should be the easiest thing to find on ANY business website.

    The lady I spoke to through customer service was extremely unprofessional, untrained, and rude. Amazon's policy is that if you cannot give them the correct email (even if AMAZON enters it wrong on THEIR END) that they can't do anything to help you and you will just have to remain locked out of your account, while Amazon customer service refuses to cancel the Prime membership on that account. So, amazon seems like it basically wants to steal money from customers through encouraging their employees to do unethical practices.

    Luckily I was still logged in on another device to look at what they had entered for my email, and the lady stated that my correct email was nowhere in Amazon’s server at all when I told her that they somehow had the wrong email showing in their system. However, when I tried to change my email to the correct full email, it was verified, but when I went to save it stated that it could not change it to my full email because Amazon already has that email in their server. Again, makes no sense. So, the customer support lady lied, and Amazon has a major glitch in their system that’s screwing over their customers. I have email confirmations (with the correct email), pictures, and videos of everything.

After 30 + mins of the call, Amazon basically says because this is 3rd party item, nothing they can do and I am stuck with item.
