I ordered a play structure for my son's second birthday. I ordered it over a month in advance so that I'd be sure it was ready in time. I told family and friends not to get him anything because one big gift was all he needed. Two boxes arrived and I hid them in my basement. The plan was to build it the night before his birthday, while he was sleeping. That way, when he got up the next morning, he'd walk outside to the surprise. After he went to bed, my husband, father-in-law, and I, got started building it. About five minutes in, we realized there were some big important pieces that weren't in either of the boxes. So I checked online and discovered that the shipment was supposed to have three boxes, and that the third box was missing. I spoke to someone at customer service who told me that it looked like the third box was somewhere in Ohio (I'm in California). The customer service agent I spoke to said that I should wait five days. It's been five days.
I called Amazon customer service today. They told me I should check with Fed Ex. I called Fed Ex and discovered that they never received that third package from Amazon to send me. Fed Ex may have printed a label in Ohio, but they never received a box because Amazon never sent it. Amazon customer service told me I could get a refund of my order and then reorder the item. I paid $229.99 for the item through Amazon (as the seller). The cheapest I could find the item was $398.20 through a third party seller. I told Amazon that they needed to make up the difference because it was their fault my son didn't have a birthday present, as they never sent the third box. They told me I had to contact the seller. I reminded them that they were the seller. They said they could only make up $25 worth of a difference.
I tried to write a review, but it was rejected because it wasn't about the item, it was about the seller. So I tried to write a review about the seller. Guess what? You can only write reviews about a seller when it's a third party seller. If Amazon is the seller, no review. I spoke with three different people at customer service and none of them were able to show me how I might write a review about Amazon as the seller. So now my son didn't get a birthday present, I'm paying over $150 more for an item than I should have, and I can't even post a negative review. I am PISSED.

Ordered 3 toilet brushes with holders. They send me one correct brush with holder and 2 other wrong brushes with no holder. Called them and they are useless. Telling me if I want a refund I can send the others back. Great. So now I have to waste my time correcting their mistakes and I get no compensation. I remember when there was a time that Amazon cared about customers. Now they think they are the only game in town, well guess what. I am cancelling my subscriptions and will be using the competitors. Let me know when you decide people matter again.

I ordered a book to be delivered to a office on a site that is open 24/7 - 365. In other words it is NEVER closed. When you arrive you call in at a call box direct to the office. UPS and FedEx have no problems. Apparently Amazon Drivers do. The driver claims to have tried to deliver on a Sunday, 2nd attempt two days later driver just shoved the item under a fence in the middle of a thunder storm that raged for 7 hours. Needless to say the book was ruined. Amazon had UPS come the next day for a pick up of the damaged item. Amazon Delivery was to deliver same day. They arrived at the site and drove around and left without delivering. TERRIBLE SERVICE. I have requested to not use AMAZON delivery and was told you can't choose. If they keep with Amazon Delivery I will choose to order elsewhere regardless of the price. I want the items I order delivered.

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon. Why on earth can't I search my previous orders by dollar amount? I'm trying to figure out what I bought months ago and all my credit card statement shows is "Amazon" and a dollar amount. Trying to find what was purchased requires opening up each invoice in the orders list on Amazon. Beyond arduous.

The customer service people were very polite. I ordered 2 identical hydraulic cylinders. I had to reorder another cylinder because of the cancelation of just one of the cylinders, but the cylinder went up $19 from Sunday to Wednesday. Amazon I has given me a $19 credit on shipping but the shipping was free! Their excuse was 3rd party, the original order was 3rd party! Lame excuse! I wish I didn't need a pair but I had to pay the higher price. I am very dissatisfied with Amazon and I doubt if I will ever use the shipping credit. Amazon is a rip-off. I called CWA Hydraulics and was told that 2 cylinders had been shipped to Amazon warehouse. I believe Amazon lied to me about the availability of the one cylinder. One cylinder was $117 the 2nd $136. False advertising, when I searched again for the same cylinder there was MANY available. Liars, liars, liars.

Purchased 4 of these tablets in Nov thru HSN (2 for 99.99) and read screen was unbreakable. Not true. It is cracked due to being dropped and Amazon doesn't stand behind that fact that it won't break. Very disappointed and will not buy any more Amazon tablets. Was told I would have had to buy extended warranty but didn't read that anywhere when I purchased them or I would have. Just not satisfied with explanation given to me. Tablet should be fixed or replaced. Not a happy customer.

I received a package from Amazon.com that had a broken glass bowl in it. I didn't know it was broken until I pulled it out of the box which it was sealed in tightly. The glass shot out all over me sticking into my face arms, feet, stomach, legs & thankfully I closed my eyes otherwise it would have gone in my eyes. Besides the fact I had to make numerous calls people were NOT calling me back. I finally called & requested a manager. We are Prime customers & have been for many years, also we sell our educational music as dealers. FYI... I have MS, low blood sugar, 1 major concussion & 2 minor ones.
Because of all the blood I lost I felt like I was going to faint. My neighbor is a nurse & wanted me to go to the hospital. However, my husband is on tour & hospitals in this area treat you like garbage unless a family member is in the room with you. After the incident there was blood & glass everywhere. I'm still finding more. I was vomiting until barf was coming out of my nose. The compensation the manager offered me was ONLY $20.00 & reimburse me for the glass dish... REALLY! I lost revenue from my business because I couldn't work as a YouTuber & Social Media Specialist.
I have cuts all over my body, vomited until I almost passed out & $20.00 was it. We are no longer going to sell our products on Amazon. Thank God I have neighbors who ran to my rescue & now my son & his girlfriend are here taking care of me. My house looked like a crime scene from NCIS! In addition, I'm a child psychiatrist & I counsel families for free. I was unable to to help them today. That part breaks my heart even more than the loss of revenue. These kids mean the world to me!!!

I have had a good experience for the most part from Amazon, but they allow some "bait and switch" vendors to sell products from their website. I ordered an item advertised to arrive within a week. The vendor charged my card, reserve a tracking number from a carrier and then changed the delivery date to 2 to 6 weeks. Since they had reserved a tracking number I was not allowed to cancel the order even though it had not shipped. I showed proof of this to Amazon and they ignored it saying it had shipped. I had to get the BBB and my states AG involved for Amazon to even listen to my complaint. It would not have been a big issue except that Amazon refused to listen to my complaint and then flat out lied to me about the item being shipped even after I showed them proof that it had not been shipped. I got the feeling that their service reps were reading from queue cards and never heard a word I said.

I began receiving 8-1/2 x 11 statements after I remarked to a customer “service” rep that I couldn’t read the tiny print of my bill account number. This oversized bill is pages and pages long. They still send the regular sized one too! With the landfills overfilling where I live, we do not need this. I repeatedly emailed and called, telling these people to stop sending the oversized bill.
Today was the last straw. The first rep I talked to couldn’t understand English and spoke it very badly. She didn’t have a clue what I was telling her. She put me on hold for a good 10 minutes while she got someone else. The second gal said they had sent me a letter saying “sorry for the inconvenience” and asking me some questions. I do not remember ever getting it. She then said she would ask her supervisor if I could get my oversized bill stopped. I waited another ten minutes listening to their obnoxious music before she came back on and said I would not receive any more oversized bills. This Synchrony Bank is the worst bank I have dealt with. I will no longer use my Amazon Store Card. I am done!

I have literally spent thousands with Amazon every year for at least the past 5 years. A small vitamin order for $32 was debited and then returned to my account unbeknownst to me. The first time I heard about it was when I received an intimidating letter from TRS, their collections agency. I didn't receive a notice from Amazon that they had mistakenly returned my money to me nor a payment request of any kind. I simply received an intimidation letter from their collection bureau. I have spent close to two hours with two different Amazon Supervisors who kept telling me they understood while doing nothing to satisfy this terrible business tactics employed by Amazon the moment they thought they were out $32! I am going to their competition and you should, too. Perhaps a little less convenient, but it's time to send this clown a message!

This company has great deals and I also find the prices here are lower in many cases than Walmart. I shop here almost daily and have spent thousands. The thing that gripes me is when I want a smaller item (under $25) it is impossible to get without a shipping fee. Every time I want something small, it says "shipping free over $25". Thereby I eventually go to Walmart or eBay to get that particular item. Amazon needs to discontinue this practice for more purchases!

Amazon has put my account on hold. When I asked they said it was a billing issue. I have tried to work this out with Amazon as my account was hacked. I even have proof from my bank as the purchase was from another state. I even had to change my bank info and open a new account because my account was hacked. They bought stuff with my bank account. Amazon has been really rude to me and is sending me to TRS Recovery Services. These people have bad reviews and I have tried to call them and email them without resolve. Instead of caring about customers Amazon has given me the run around. They have told me I cannot email or talk to an account specialist.
I cant log into my account and I cannot make another one because they will cancel my orders. I am really being mentally drained because not only was my safety compromised but they have yet to talk to me tactfully about the situation and have sent me automated responses from a third party called TRS Recovery Services. It was bad enough I had to get a new bank account number but they have failed me. I really expected more from Amazon. They could have at least given me a number to a person I could speak direct with from Amazon who can take my account off of hold from the fraudulent purchases but they'd rather give my info to some third party I have never heard of.

I’ve about had it with the poor delivery and customer service lately with my Prime Membership with Amazon. Twice now it showed my item as delivered and yet they delivered it to the wrong address. The 2nd time this happened, the driver took a picture of the package in front of a door that wasn’t mine! I called Amazon that same evening and was told by a customer service rep (who I could barely hear, due to a ton of background noise on their end, and who put me on hold for 7 minutes) that “The driver goes off a device and sometimes that device is wrong”.
I asked “So are you saying that the driver doesn’t compare the address on the package to the address on the house, before he drops the package down in front of the door?” She said “Sometimes yes if they are busy.” Are you kidding me??!! Wow. Then she tells me that since it hasn’t been a full 24 hrs since the delivery, I will have to call back the next day to go over all of this again, in order to get a refund or a replacement. Not acceptable!!

I purchased an item on Amazon. Their provider of this product sent the wrong item. Amazon had to be involved because their provider, Home Brew Ohio, is a dishonest company.

I contacted to Amazon and they opened the investigation case; after 3 days I was be back to chat with them; and they said that the delivered package was to right place.... They won't accept to refund or replacement. They asked me to report to local police. I paid, but get nothing. It is not fair for me when I paid and they shipping to someone else. From now, I never purchase from Amazon anymore. Amazon is very bad customer service. From that, I can learn experience: just drive to Walmart or Target and buy; at least you can get the products which you pay.

So this all stems from me just wanting to add my phone number to my account under my Gmail. Two days ago, I go and try to add my phone number to my account, but it would not let me because I already had another account under my phone number. So I wrote to them to close that account so that I could add my phone number. Flash forward to today, I go and trying adding my phone number again. This time, I was able to get through verification codes and such, but again, I could not add it because my phone number was associated with my closed account.
So I go their instant chat rooms to get the situation solved. I explained to them my situation and they were willing to help. They even acknowledge that I closed the other account under my phone number. However, that is when they asked me for the last four digits of "my active card" so they can help me on their part. I mainly do not use a credit card let alone own one I explained to them and that I only have a gift card balance from three digital gift cards (the cards I earned from earning points through surveys and GPS location on one of the apps I use on my phone).
So, they have me try adding my phone number again myself and of course, it did not work. They tell me that they need the credit card number for security reasons twice and because I did not own a credit card, they could not add my phone number on their end, making me sound like a dummy (I never said that to them by the way). The only time I used a credit card on Amazon was my mother's when she had me order some sheets and comforters for my niece and nephew (the children of my older brother) who live down in Florida for their bedrooms and I had removed it off my account. Other than that, I never purchased anything for myself and even when I want to (or whenever I do on any online store), I only use a gift card balance instead of a credit card. But because I wanted to add my phone number with help from customer service and at the same time, I did not own a credit card, they could not help me.
They could have asked for last four digits off of one the digital gift cards I had put in to form my gift card balance. I understand you need a credit card for security reasons but they really need to find other ways to help customers add a phone number without the need of a credit card so that this does not happen again like it has to me.

Amazon marketing types have lost their integrity. I don't need to be specific because even the most Neanderthal & honest person has looked for a specific brand, specific size or characteristic when searching on Amazon. Instead of providing that brand and size, they provide other brands and incorrect sizes that waste enormous time for serious people. I've complained periodically to the customer service personnel, but have not once received a call-back. How in hell can the wealthiest person on earth allow this to happen? Because he's probably doing the pimp-walk and has personal buyers who buy products for him.
I have many friends who earn well over $2-$5 million annually who are 'real people' who universally believe that Amazon will be in a a death-spiral if and when other large scale companies offer a similar service at competitive prices. I can't understand why the media hasn't picked up on this. Perhaps it's as simple as a free Amazon yearly membership or free tickets to a major sporting event.

About a month & a half ago, I ordered 5 items on my Amazon account. I've placed several orders before & the biggest issue I have had was Prime is not delivering in the 2 day window. My order had gone over the estimated delivery date about 2 weeks, & reported it as delivered. So I called Amazon to find out where it was. The representative explained to me that my items were in fact delivered.... to a house two miles away from where I live in my apartment complex. Not only was the order overdue but they had delivered in to the wrong house, in a different zipcode. Awesome.
I try as politely as I can to ask the rep how something like this could happen, & she says she'll make it right by sending out replacements. She can resend only the first 3 items, because the rest are issued by 3rd party sellers, so she refunds the rest & tells me I can re-order them through the website again, because, of course that's what I had in mind when a company makes a huge mistake like this.
The order goes through processing & I receive my replacements in a couple of days, I'm satisfied, my refund goes through, all is good, & I forget about the whole thing. Until today when I check my bank account. I see 2 unauthorized charges to my card from Amazon, my first thought is identity theft, since I hadn't placed any orders, so I look up my Amazon account, & check my messages, it read that since they had never received the return for the items that were delivered to the wrong house & not to me over a month ago, they had decided to charge me again!
Truly unbelievable nerve they have thinking that they're soo big they're untouchable & can RIP customers off like this! They essentially tried to steal money from me by giving me some made up excuse about not returning items to them. The rep that sent out the replacements never mentioned anything about returning anything, how could that have even been possible since I never received anything in the first place!! On a positive note, the rep I talked to fixed everything & issued a refund within minutes & even he was shocked how they tried to charge me for items that were shipped to the wrong home nearly two months earlier.

I am so disappointed with Amazon’s customer service. I ordered two items as gifts for Mother’s Day, and specified a delayed shipping date of May 7th (which was offered by Amazon). I received notification on Saturday that one of the items would be delivered Sunday. I contacted Amazon and spoke with a representative, who assured me the package would be intercepted on Sunday since no deliveries are made that day. I later received notification from USPS that the item had been delivered. I called Amazon again and told them that I had another order set for delayed delivery, and explained how upset I was with the early delivery. I was informed a representative would be calling me back to discuss it. That never occurred.
I contacted Amazon again yesterday and explained that I had received notification from UPS that the second gift I had purchased would be delivered today. I was promised by Amazon that the item would be intercepted by UPS and held until May 7th. Again, this did not happen and the item was delivered. It is embarrassing having to contact both recipients to inform them that their Mothers Day gifts shipped way too early, and even more frustrating that both recipients are out of town. The gifts are perishable and now absolutely worthless. I contacted Amazon again, only to have them pretty much say they were terribly sorry and all they could do at this point was offer a refund. This is the worst customer service I have received by any business, and I cannot believe that such a large company like Amazon does not have their logistics dialed in.

I have been unable to purchase Kindle books from my Kindle reader because of software upgrades not being current. I’ve had the reader for almost ten years and never have I had to upgrade software. I assume it has been downloaded automatically until this point. Over the course of three days I’ve had three representatives offer me a 15% discount to purchase a new reader. I can live with the fact that I am unable to further purchase books using this reader maybe because of age but one of the representatives decided to try and unregister my reader to see if that would help. In so doing my 196 archived books disappeared from my reader. Their solution to this problem is that all my books are stored in the cloud and that I have access to them via my other readers such as iPad and iPhone.
That is true but I tried to explain to them that the Kindle reader allows me to read my books outside without glare. They don’t seem to understand the distinction between devises. It’s like saying to me, you have three children, so what if we caused the loss of one of them. Unbelievable. I too am a Prime member who until this problem have always found the customer service at Amazon to be the best I had encountered. Not anymore, something has changed in this company. I will put this episode behind me and simply stop purchasing anything more from them. To top it all off, the last representative who I spoke with was a supervisor and she actually agreed that it was their agent who caused me to lose my archived books. Time to move on..

I live in a gated community. My address is actually for the back side of the complex but then so is my neighbor and my daughter which get Amazon packages all the time. I have been a member Prime that is since 2012, every time I order something they come to the back of the complex not the front main gate which is where you should come, then I don’t get packages, to solve this issue I had packages come to my work.
Now I’m on vacation and I ordered something so to make sure I get the package I enter my phone number in the instructions for delivery, why am I standing outside watch the Amazon delivery truck drive pass my gate, pull up next to a CHURCH and send me text saying packages were undeliverable. If this is what you get with their same day delivery after sitting in your house all day from sunrise to 9 pm when they say you should have packages by 9pm why are they on the news saying they are going to get packages to you even sooner, I can’t get a package now.

I ordered a shirt this morning and was using reward points and a gift card. I submitted the order and the reward points were not applied although it showed up in both payment balance and Order Summary. I called and lady said this was due to "multiple payment options were used"??? I spoke to a customer service rep who said that was not true but because the order was cancelled the reward points go away for 48 business hours and there is nothing Customer Service can do to override the process. Amazon getting too big??? I will now have to wait 48 hrs to place my order... if I do.

I routinely get my Prime later than 2 days. When complained it is always the post office fault. Where I live it is custom for UPS to transfer packages to the USPS to do the actual delivery. So I dropped my Prime and guess what ...The same time for Prime. So for me Prime does not work.

I have had a few bad experiences with the delivered products from Amazon (damaged 2x in a row, unable to return something because I didn’t have a large enough box, stolen/missing items). However, every single time I call Amazon customer service on the phone, I am given incredible service. (And I’m not a prime member.) I was terrified to call the first time, having dealt with large corporation “customer service” before. I have had the agents go completely above and beyond though to help me figure out unique problems or to make sure I’m not paying for damaged, missing, and unwanted items. I’m a realtor for CO, I’m not a spokesperson, I just know good customer service and I think Amazon trains and holds their agents to a higher standard, and it shows. I can’t speak to their email or “chat” customer service, but in my experience, I would never use those. Just call, be nice, explain your issue, and they want to help you solve it! (Speedy service, too. I never? — or rarely at least — have to wait for an agent.)

I was shopping for a WiFi card when one of the top results on Amazon as well as their "Amazon's Choice" was a dual band PCI card by MSI. Having a soft spot for MSI and Amazons Choice I hit "Buy it Now" in a moment of absent-mindedness. Upon reading the 8 reviews (seriously how is this Amazon's choice?!) I discovered the card not only was loaded with an almost 5 year old chipset (ancient in network tech), but half the reviews complained about it breaking in the first month. I immediately attempted to cancel the order.
Amazon denied said cancellation due to the product shipping at any moment. The denial came back almost immediately which leads me to think their system is either 100% automated or some jerk didn't even try and just hit the easy button. So now I imagine that they'll deliver it and try to get me to go through the hassle of returning it. It's now almost 8 hours later, the product still hasn't left its facility according to their tracking information and is still not canceled. This is after spending almost $200 on a liquid cooler for my CPU that was DOA and they tried forcing me to go to downtown Berkeley which is super far out of my way. This isn't how you should treat your customers. I feel scammed and like I've been dismissed. If that card shows up this afternoon which I suspect it will, I'll be canceling prime and taking my business to Newegg as well as filing a complaint with the BBB. Something I should have done a long time ago. Regretfully, B.

I purchased these locks and on receipt, the product did not match the picture on the Amazon website. These cost £44.97 and I made my claim for return on the same day. Received confirmation from the seller that they had approved the return and received a mailing label where I had to pay the return postage. As you can imagine these are heavy, and therefore I requested a pre-paid postage label. No communications from the supplier from 17th March - 17th April. Then they asked for photographs.
In the meantime I had contacted Amazon several times. They raised an A-Z twice to pay my claim and this was rejected twice. Nowhere at the point you pay does it state you will need to pay the postage to return the item. I contacted Amazon several times and basically for items not sold by them you are more or less on your own. The best they could offer is to pay postage and if the supplier does not pay up, they would try and claim, if not I would need to go to my bank and make the claim. In the meantime, the advert on /Amazon still remains unchanged and therefore others may have the same problem. I had ordered the locks as they had a particular style of thumb turn suitable for an old person. NEVER AGAIN.

Purchased item on Amazon in late Dec 2018. Item was defective, let merchant know; even sent pics of defects to them. I didn't want to use this part since it was for the front steering, possible safety hazard! I had to pay shipping to return the part also. Amazon has opened numerous emails/contact attempts to merchant, who has said all along they would refund, in writing. The merchant now has the part, my payment for shipping, plus accrued interest on cost of part. They say they are "still searching their warehouse" for part, even though FedEx shows it was accepted at their facility, which has been over a month now. When I try and leave a truthful review, with no foul language, or non factual accusations, Amazon then blocks the review.
Amazon has initiated all contact, and even they won't hold the merchant responsible. All you get from Amazon is another person each time you call, no direct contact with their employees to follow up either. The phone number for the merchant was answered by a teen, saying I had the wrong number. After numerous attempts, Amazon has declined to move forward, even if they have direct email replies from merchant that they will refund. Amazon says they can't completely control their 3rd party sellers. I have been trying to get a refund for 4 months and Amazon is now saying its out of the time period and I need to file with the Card company!
Amazon has the power to resolve this issue. I am now closing my 6 accounts with Amazon over an issue they could resolve easily. Amazon's own internal policies are the issue here. You have no direct contact with the people creating the return disputes, supervisors who DO NOT follow up with the purchaser, and a new ticket is created each time you call them. Their default response is, please wait a couple more days.... Four months into this issue, even Amazon checked the FedEx tracking number showing merchant has had part for 5 weeks now.

This situation actually occurs hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day throughout the US. Customer emotions range from disappointment to extreme disappointment to I'll never use Amazon ever again.

Out of 5 deliveries they had no problem leaving the $60 video game out at the front door on the first delivery attempt but the $14 package with office supplies required two delivery attempts and a signature. One delivery I answered the door for the second time and was greeted by two people who did NOT speak English, today while I was waiting for the second attempt delivery (of cat food of all things, not a diamond bracelet) I had to run outside after the delivery guy to his rented u-haul truck and he was deaf.
So again, no way to communicate. I don’t know why it’s “not secure” enough to leave my package at my front door but the delivery method is a rented u-haul or people’s personal vehicles. The delivery people have been much sketchier than the location of my front door. AND I updated my delivery preferences after the first two times this happened and specifically wrote where to deliver it in every box available and to PLEASE just leave the package. And that hasn’t done a damn thing either. Very annoyed and disappointed with Amazon.

Amazon's customer service has REALLY gone downhill in the last year. At first the reps were very helpful, caring and wanted to make the customer happy and it was like that for years then in the past year the reps started being a hit or a miss (with way more misses than hits - about 40 misses to 1 hit). You'd have one rep who would be super nice, helpful, wanting to make you happy and be sincerely apologetic if there was a problem then you'd have a buttload of other reps who would not give a flying rats ** about your problem and now all the reps are just straight trash.
Instead of them responding within 2 hours like they used to do it now takes at least a day to get a response, I've had reps blatantly lie to me, had reps promise me that if I sent pictures of the damaged item they would either refund me or send a replacement but after I did what they asked they would never respond back, nothing would be done and they would continue to ignore me. All reps have this "I don't care it's your problem" attitude.
Nowadays it doesn't matter if Amazon was the one who messed up your order, "Oh no it's our fault and we're expected to bend over backwards and take it up the ** just to be acknowledged". I kid you not it took me almost two weeks of messaging them a few times a day to be helped and that was back when they were a hit or a miss. Now I've had an issue that's been going on for three weeks now and I still haven't been helped and I'm no closer to being helped than I was the first time I messaged them.
Amazon's customer service used to be AMAZING. I was honestly blown away many times with how nice they were and all the nice things they used to do (like give a refund and not require the item to be mailed back, give $10 credit to use towards an item shipped and sold by them, an extra month of prime or a $5 gift card put on your account) but now it's pure garbage and I absolutely LOATHE them and loathe even more having to deal with their **.
And the sad thing is they're so big now that they can get away with doing ** like this. They went from being "the customer's always right" to "** the customer." Even in customer service messages their arrogance oozes off of the page "we're so sorry you weren't happy with our amazing service and that you're expectations didn't meet ours" (they actually said that to me in a few messages I got from them).
If you've recently purchased anything you'll notice that on the checkout page they added a message that says "we guarantee your item will arrive on time, in perfect condition and as described" like if you really have to be arrogant to honestly "guarantee" people that the stuff they order from you will arrive 100% perfect. Amazon has their head so far up their own ** that they're close to imploding into nothingness.

My 8 month pregnant wife, was sent to Chennai India from Dubai for her delivery and was unable to cope with the hot climate in Chennai. I decided to act urgently in getting her an air conditioner on an urgent basis. I checked Amazon, Reliance Digital and Flipkart. While all of them had almost similar delivery times, I chose Amazon as I've used them multiple times in Dubai.
Sadly Amazon. It turned up to be miles away in terms of service compared to Amazon UAE. I ordered a Voltas 1.5 ton 5star inverter split AC unit (order number **) along with a V guard stabilizer worth 5k. The AC unit got delivered and the stabilizer never even made it to her door in Chennai and we received a msg saying customer refused product and hence being returned to seller. This was silly, but I did not care as the Voltas installation team that was coming were able to get a stabilizer and Amazon promised me a refund. When the installation team arrived, I was finally relieved, that my wife would be able to sleep peacefully tonight. The Voltas installation team to our surprise, said they could not complete the installation, AS THE GREAT GLOBAL GIANT AMAZON HAD SENT US A 2 TON INTERNAL AC UNIT WITH A 1.5 TON EXTERNAL UNIT, WHICH WOULD NOT MATCH.
I made multiple calls, emails to customer service, who literally didn't seem to be bothered about how important this was to me. Priyanka at large appliances, first wrote to me asking for pictures and the log sheet from the installation team, to prove that it was a mismatch. I replied to her email asking for a call back urgently to explain the urgency of the situation as the great Amazon app WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IN MY DUBAI PHONE NUMBER FOR ME TO GET CONNECTED TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM.
I then got on the chat option and requested for an urgent callback. Adnan from large appliances called me and literally refused to take the situation seriously, stating, "Amazon has a procedure and we would check your documentation you have emailed to us and once we verify it is genuine, we will let you know if we would replace it or provide you a refund and definitive timelines can be provided." When asked for a supervisor, Adnan replied stating, "A supervisor would tell you the same thing I told you" and when I still insisted I be transferred, he bluntly refused saying, "We don't have a supervisor transfer option available right now."
Disappointed and disgusted, I apologized to my wife for trusting Amazon and tried to talk her to sleep. After trying upto midnight when she could still not sleep, I was literally broken inside and decided to call Amazon again. I provided my wife's number for the callback and asked my wife to answer Amazon's call and Whatsapp me so that I can call her and get conferenced with Amazon. This was a really expensive affair, considering the call charges from Dubai to India. We got on the phone with Anushka from the technical team of Amazon, who did well empathizing with us and understanding the situation. She verified all the documentation and tried to transfer us to the large Appliances team and came back apologizing saying the Large appliances team is closed for the day and there is nothing else she can do to help.
I was devastated at how helpless Amazon had left me and shocked by the horrendous mistreatment of the global giant. I researched to check the seller, who was the real culprit and realized it was CLOUDTAIL INDIA, A company with no contacts available anywhere on the internet and from reviews seemed to be one of Amazon's largest vendors. If you are also a person like me who thinks, Amazon is a giant and should be atleast good at customer service, think again.

I ordered the Traveler's Choice Birmingham 21" Expandable Rollaboard, Black. The item was delivered but was red. The order was fulfilled by Amazon. The box said it was black, but it was red. Back and forth with Amazon, it was determined that a black one was not available. The only option they give me is to return it. I ordered this particular bag for a reason. I am going to keep the bag but no one wants to do anything about it. I finally just asked for a refund of $10 or $15 for the pain in the ___ this has been. Their response was that I could return it and return shipping charges would be waived. If I return I shouldn't be paying return shipping charges anyway. That is probably the cost of the return shipping charges. I seem to be left with no options.
Just as a side note, a copy of this is going to Consumer Affairs. I finally asked for someone to contact me about this. Anything I asked or said always came back to, "Do you want to return it for a refund." Over two more days I was in their chat room, talked to 3 different people. I explained to each person multiple times that I that I ordered the bag because it had the features that I wanted. I finally said just refund me $10 or $15 and I would keep the bag and go away and shut up. I told him that was probably what the return shipping charges. The last communication from Amazon was "I'm sorry. Do you want to return it? We will waive return shipping fees."

I received a delivery today from Amazon - made sure I was home to receive it. Website stated it had been delivered and even included a photo of the box on a wooden step. I live on the second floor of a 3 story garden type apartment, so all the stairs and doors are outside; no secure building with a front door. The package was not left outside my door, or anywhere near my door. The package was left on the bottom step, ground floor, 2 flights down from my apartment.

My Amazon account was hacked 3 months ago. I received a notification email from Amazon that there were fraudulent charges made on my account. As a result, my account was closed and I was instructed to create a new password. A couple hundred dollars of charges were reversed since their security department flagged them as suspicious. However, there were two charges that had already gone through my debit card. One of the charges was for a disturbing book titled Hate Notes which was mailed to my apartment.
I contacted Amazon by phone immediately after receiving the emails from their security department. Only a few hours had gone by from the first fraudulent charge to when I contacted Amazon about my concerns. I specifically told the customer service rep to cancel the book delivery. I told her that I found it quite disturbing that a book titled Hate Notes was being sent to my apartment by the hacker and to cancel it immediately. She said everything was going to get taken care of.
Two days later the book arrived. I was completely creeped out by the experience and upset that Amazon did not cancel the order. I called again and told the customer service rep that I wanted to return the book. She said she would reverse the charge and that I would receive an email with instructions on how to return it. I never received the email and the charges were not reversed. There was also a $50 gift card charge that was never reversed. I contacted my bank to dispute the charges and they said they would investigate. Amazon refused to acknowledge that those charges were fraudulent and my bank refused to continue the case and it was closed.
3 months later and after over 15 phone calls to Amazon I have not received any resolution. They read the same script over and over again and anytime you ask to speak to a manager they say that the manager is not available. This same scenario has been repeated with every call over the last 3 months. I am completely disgusted and disappointed in their lack of concern for customers' private information and refusal to resolve customers' complaints. I am stuck with the charges of a gift card and a creepy book that the hacker sent to my apartment.
Shortly after the hacking incident, there was an explosion in my apartment and then my car was vandalized. This has been an ongoing nightmare of disturbing events. I have removed my personal information from my Amazon account. It would probably be impossible to close my account since it would require ongoing frustrating and non-productive communication with customer service. Amazon has lost another customer. I am also telling all of my friends, family and anyone that I come into contact with that mentions Amazon about my awful experience.

Fourth time I’ve had to call Amazon to sort “delivered” items that were never received. I’m repeatedly told to call back the next day because the runner may have marked the items delivered when they were not actually delivered! If that’s not false tracking IDK what is! Unacceptable customer service. Continually transferred from agent to agent and kept on long hold times. Runners have delivered to “secure area(s)” after specifically noting my account that packages should only be delivered to my door. Not left anywhere the courier thinks seems fine. I’ve asked for directive with a logistics agent as well and Amazon cannot seem to follow simple instructions.
I was credited $10 dollars but that does not compensate for over $100 in lost items. Not to mention the time spent dealing with representatives that do nothing to remediate the ongoing issue. I’m honestly ready to cancel my prime membership. I pay too much to be treated so poorly by a merchant that could care less and can’t seem to fix its delivery issues. No problem charging me for goods but a serious issue meeting their own promised time frames and holding to their own self imposed company standards.

Constantly being yanked around by the chain with "Please accept this as a token of our apology for the inconvenience." I've heard this so many times, it's absurd. I select a specific date of delivery/package arrival because I won't be available on later dates. Of course you'd think these people would care, but they do not. They think you spending $12+ for a subscription, of which gives you delivery benefits; though on the contrary, said delivery benefits aren't even given. They can't keep their act together here in the MN -- 55103-55106.
To further my point, about not on time package delivery. Now, that they won't (not can't - so-far every reason they give is a BS excuse due to incompetent drivers, poor equipment and vehicle upkeep, and lazy attitude) deliver my package on the day I paid for. I'll more than likely have to hope they deliver the package the following day. So I don't have to take another day away from recently made plans.

I live in London and a few weeks ago I ordered a telescope as a Birthday present for my nephew who lives in Switzerland. For all intents and purposes, I used the German Amazon branch as it deals with deliveries to Switzerland. The product arrived damaged, however. They were quick to send a replacement, which was admirable, but the return process proved to be a stress-laden nightmare.
I was told that I need to arrange the return myself and pay for the postal costs as they will be refunded to me upon providing a receipt. They are refusing to arrange the pick-up or provide a prepaid label as I am expected, or my sister in Switzerland in this case, to cover the postal costs. The issue is that they will refund the cost for the refund into my account, which will lead to me losing money twice due to conversion rates from Swiss francs to British pounds and again from pounds to francs when sending the money back to Switzerland.
On top of that, there are bank transfer fees I will also have to cover. They basically cut me off and are making me pay for a mistake they have made - an honorable and respectful approach! I have contacted customer service on several occasions only to be told that their system does not allow for the arrangement of pick-ups or to provide prepaid labels! Amazon, a global trader cannot arrange an international pick-up!

This outside employment of mostly foreigners to handle issues, has made me realize, they no longer have a handle on things, and are relying on others who have low ethics and decide that lying and saying whatever sounds good at the time to handle things, is now the way things are done. It is pathetic and a sign of what TOTAL GREED does to a company in order for them to stay in business. I have a prediction, that AMAZON will NOT be the power player in the future that has crushed and dominated all the competition. Bad service, poor ethics, and unreliable information and promises made by customer service employees will drive customers to pay a little more, and receive reliable customer service.

First of all, why did they prompt me to sign up for something for FREE, to try out, if they knew very well that I had had this subscription before, recently enough and so it would be just restarting it for a FEE? Secondly? What refund? I got no refund and my item was stuck in limbo, not being purchased with the subscription anymore.

On passing of a month I contacted the customer care which told me to be patient as the seller has already shipped it and I must receive it in due course of time. I waited more. I did not have much time or energy to waste on it. These people think we don’t have lives. I contacted again in December 2018 and told them about it and received the same reply, to be patient. I waited more again. Earlier I was able to see my order in the “Your Orders” category which showed that it is taking unusually longer time to deliver but today I again had the time to see to the matter and found that the Order itself is vanished from the list which now showed all the previous and consequent orders I placed from the site without showing even a trace of that thing.
The only proof I now have is my account statement showing debited amount with subject mentioning “Amazon payments Seattle”. But still the customer care executives seem to put the fault on me that I should’ve done it earlier and that they have only 3 months of previous information. Although it’s all THEIR FAULT, they still expect me to do the work of filling a form through my bank account and file complaint. So, all the things should be done by the customer, that if he/she cares they should fill that form and get their money if they want and we’ll sit here like useless trash after debiting the money from them.
Only questions I want to ask them is that if there was no order placed in the time I remembered it has:- When you can clearly see the debit and the subject, why is there no order in the list to correspond it?
- Why did it disappear suddenly, when I was able to see it earlier?
- Why should the person whom you harassed be the one doing the work instead of your useless employees in returning the money?
If you have brains enough, you can clearly see a gaping lacuna in the whole affair. But even after providing them evidence for the matter they were still able to doubt me saying that the product in question is not appearing in the app and that they did not sell anything like that. Again I found the product exactly then on the app still selling and told them at which they faltered and told me to fill the form through my bank.

We went to the UPS store to make a return and it was full of people making similar returns. This stock is going to be a great short in the coming months. Quality is now crap.

Typical Northwest company following the all too common OVER PROMISE and UNDER DELIVER thing they do here. Amazon promises you delivery dates if you sign up for Prime and then when you do they move the delivery date to the next week. I also hate knowing that they are soft on pirated goods and after repeatedly receiving defective goods I realized that Amazon was selling shady items. The last straw broken came when I used WHOLE FOODS DELIVERY one single time and they delivered items to me that I did not order and could not use. What a joke of a company. They need to be sued. Remember, Amazon LIES about delivery dates.

Easy to search for wide width shoes by style, brand, and price range. Can always rely on Amazon having the right shoe at the lowest price. While the other shoes sites are good they are somewhat limiting in wide width sizes and availability, and prices usually higher.

I have been billed 3 times for the same order now. And because of this my mortgage payment that is processing tomorrow is not going to go through and I will be late on my payment. I will be charged fees and it will hurt my credit. And what did Amazon do after me proving to them for the last hour I’ve paid for this 3 times. They said, "Sorry we will refund you as soon as possible and you should be paid back in 7-10 business days." If I was so poor I’d call a lawyer and sue you people. I have bank statements. I paid for the items on January 30th. Was refunded on February 4th.
So I paid for them again on the same day February 4th. Now randomly today on March 27 I am charged yet another time for this ridiculously big Christmas order. I will find a lawyer I can afford. You are doing more damage to my life than you know. And get this. All I got was an insincere sorry and an offer to be refunded today in online Amazon credit. Never will I use Amazon again.

Amazon's insisted I have to pay for the return postage as my return appeal was denied. So much for the customer is always right. I WILL NEVER TRUST AMAZON AGAIN!!!!

Over the last few weeks any order I have made through my Prime membership but delivered through the Enfield office has either not turned up been cancelled at the last minute or has shown as a failed or attempted delivery when they simply haven't bothered. Contacting customer service (digitally of course) they say they’ll escalate but nothing happens. On each occasion I have been so frustrated I’ve just requested a refund. They pride themselves on quick delivery and charge annually for it but they can easily see they have an issue with delivery drivers in the Enfield area that are lying about delivery and yet they have done nothing to remedy it. They clearly don’t value regular and loyal customers. I’d rather pay more but know I’ll get the goods I want. Don’t use Amazon for Enfield area deliveries is the moral of this story.

Loyal and regular customer to Amazon for years, and paid Amazon store card in full each month for 2 years with zero issues arising. However, due to an address change and my lack of focus for adjusting my card (my fault and I understand that part completely), I neglected to attend to my automated payments for the Amazon Store card being returned two months in a row. There was no phone call nor regular attempts to alert me other than 2 total emails that were sucked up easily by my spam filter. I called to resolve the issue and the lovely gentleman said that I "should have read the terms better and that they are clearly stated they can cancel whenever they please." I am now looking for any alternatives to Amazon because of Synchrony Bank. In my opinion, whoever partners with a company that has such a lack of focus for their consumers is someone who shares their same values, or lack thereof.

But after delivery I got to know that somehow on some stage this fraudulent activity has been conducted with any of the department where the instead of product bunch of newspaper and cardboards have been inserted into it to increase its weight. I don't know what kind of protocol of ethics are in process but somehow this is the travesty of justice that Amazon representatives are only giving me reference of their investigation report for which I am totally heedless and how can I trust that investigation goes right or wrong.
Multiple times I have mailed to your consortium and tried to do the chat but somehow all are trained in same manner and decided not to listen to the customer no matter what impact that customer will obtain due to their this kind of behavior. My first mistake was that I have ordered something. Second I'm asking about the investigation report that what was the parameter of same. Thirdly how they have investigated with packaging team, courier partner, sellers etc. who all were involved.
Amazon has not delivered my product in my hand. Why Amazon not taken an initiative for open policy at the time of delivery of the product. Now for me it's not all about the 2000 bucks. It is all about that mentally harassment which I have gone through in these past days. I am totally frustrated due to non-cooperation of your consortium and employees who all were not capable to maintain the dignity of customer gratification. I must say this is the irony of justice where a middle-class customer is begging for fair decision and your syndicate is sleeping in the well maintained and fabricated AC offices, it seems like they don't have any concern related to customer and its willingness towards justice and resolution.
I am seeking for refund for my money from your prestigious organization and I'm not aware about what their investigation and it would not be okay for me to say yes as per their stories if product has been shipped from warehouse. I have not seen that, what is the transit proceedings of your product. I am not aware about the same, on which basis I should agree with them, and what is the justifiable reason behind the facts which they have told me so that I can trust.
What is the surety about the adjournment of this kind of instance. Why customer has to take all mental and economical pain instead of company because your company has no specific guidelines terms and condition then why I have to suffer. I am just soliciting for a legitimacy and justice for myself being a customer of Amazon. Seeking for positive comeback on this complaint.

It start 3 Tuesdays ago with the attempted purchase of a e-gift card Amazon sells online. This was to a good friend in Jamaica who need to purchase loss items stolen during a bus ride home one night. Amazon claims it will take 11 hrs to clear a 1k egift card to clear with their security, it more than 50 hrs before security. Called and then rudely hung up in middle of conversation. Customer service, security and the executive customer service line all go by first name, no ticket numbers are issued. Because it took over 50 hrs, I had to reorder the same card, to my surprise the process to clear a egift card started again. This time it took approximately 40 plus, but this time credit card company said the process to purchase took too long so they block it as fraudulent and another reorder had to been which the security check Amazon to start all over again. Mind you that we are now 1 week and a half into this attempted order.
Everyone at Amazon is always sorry and they express that fact but the items to get purchases was strictly business related to replace stolen items. We were both on vacation and had plans for Atlantic City and Las Vegas but those plan was a financial loss due Amazon inability to process multiple attempts of an order. We decide to purchase the items directly from his Amazon account but this process overnighted by directed Amazon executives has still not successfully delivered the items purchased to friend in Jamaica. We emailed Mr. Bezos directed but financially a company that makes billions of dollars each year could compensate approximately 240.00 and even with 3 executives involved we still dont have the ordered items. Loss of personal vacation time, flight and hotel cost eaten and the personal ability for my Jamaican friend to come to USA to experience and enjoy time shopping, dining, entertainment and relaxing.
Amazon in my eyes have completely wrecked this whole vacation and still no delivery. Last emailed we received was go or call UPS to find out why Jamaica customs is still hold the items. Customs fee was paid at time of purchase through Amazon. Amazon first told us that DHL was used to ship the items quickly but we found 3 days later it was UPS which was extremely slower and they required a purchase order which should have been with the delivery. Friend in Jamaica had to fax this order purchase list that clearly showed custom fees was paid. Amazon is now as I see washed their hands of the entire process and are not even engaging on any level.
I personally shipped items purchased in Las Vegas to Jamaica via FedEx without this much hard ache. Our stress level and personal financial loss is great to say the least and Amazon can only come up with 240.00 dollars. What they should do is pay for a complete vacation plan as adequate compensation but with their greed being so high they can afford from the billions they make each year. What a very sad state of affairs!!!

For me, it was a complete FAIL on the vendor's part when I ordered reading glasses that came to me in the wrong size. Fine - return them - no problem. However, this vendor has a strict No Returns policy that apparently also extends to when they send the wrong item. When I tried to submit a review on Amazon, they told me it violated their policy. They're going to collapse under their own weight if they keep treating customers badly. It's funny - four of my friends who were once Prime members have decided that the numerous bad experiences and the wasted time and effort in trying to resolve problems it not worth the hassle.

I preordered a Samsung s10+ off amazon on the 3rd of March 2019. Unfortunately, I used my partners credit card instead of mine so my account was locked and the order put on hold. I responded to the first email, which requested that I log in to my account to upload a billing statement with an email stating I can't log into my account because it's been locked and the billing address anyway won't match because it's my partners card, so please cancel the order and unlock my account again. 24 hours later I received the same generic email with a fax number, to which I responded but received no reply.
On 5 March, after struggling to find a generic Amazon number (they like it when you log in and request they give you a call back, takes about a minute, but my account was locked so I couldnt access this), I was told I needed to provide that information. I INSTANTLY told the lady in question that there was no way I was verifying that card. 1. I literally can't and 2. If I could I'm worried they'll take the money out of the account and ship me a product I dont want, the lady said that she'd put the request through and it would be dealt with within 24 hours.
I followed up on the 18th with my account still locked and not having received any email, to speak to a woman who wanted to do the same thing. After demanding to speak to a supervisor as I stated my problem hadnt been resolved within the two weeks, I had to wait 3 1/2 hours for a call back as no supervisors were available. After the wait, the supervisor did the exact same thing and once again tried to tell me that I had to verify the card to receive the order and it took 10 minutes to explain to her that I already bought the phone I want, to cancel the order and regain access to my Amazon account for my Kindle. She did the exact same thing as the last person, promising me an email within 24 hours. The email I received within 24 hours was the generic 'log into your account and verify your card using our secure portal', which again I havent had access to because the account is locked.
I called back AGAIN yesterday to follow up, for a woman off the bat to try to convince me to verify the card and supposedly sent the request off, resulting in another generic email. If any small company tried this I'm pretty sure it would just be universally known as a scam company. For such a large company the customer service is a joke, and I wish that I never tried to buy anything. Never using Amazon to purchase any items again, and if this issue isnt fixed soon I'll be keeping my Kindle app for the books I already own and stop purchasing things through there. This is the worst experience I have ever had, DONT USE AMAZON!

Many sellers shows 100% on their reviews but reviews have nothing to do with what's bean sold, if seller gets too many complaints about on item they are allowed to start a new page with same item and you can't exchange the broken item or give any review. Most of the time your reviews will not be posted if you did not say good things about them. Some China sellers shows the amount you paid much much lower than what you paid for to customs and shows you as an importer yet I just ordered from Amazon. Let me make it simple.

Wanted to write an email to express my frustrations and outrageous customer service experiences I have had since March 7, 2019. You will notice 2 order numbers above. The first one ending in 7029 was a DJI Mavic air drone I ordered on March 7 with a 3-5 day delivery window. I should have received it March 10 or March 12. The shipment never shipped until March 11, this is the beginning of the serious issues and many lies from your customer service agents. I was then told I would receive it Wednesday March 13, then Friday March 15 then lo and behold Monday March 18. I pay for a Prime membership for a reason. I have received excellent delivery service and never have had any issues.
Typically if there is an issue I am contacted and it is resolved. This time no contact. Just lie after lie after lie. Yes I was given some credits, but not enough to fix the problem. Amazon ruined a wedding, great job. I was supposed to be doing a video of the wedding and reception with this drone. I ordered it within plenty of time to receive it even with the weather delays. One of you agents Shavon told she spoke to a supervisor and UPS found the shipment and would delivery it Saturday morning. She stated the system would be updated to reflect this. This never happened and yet again it was another lie. I was on the phone most of the day March 15 trying to get this resolved. I finally canceled the order and ordered the second order above in artic white because it showed 2 day guaranteed Prime shipping arriving Sunday March 17 which means it's in a fulfillment center closer to my home.
Still not in time for the wedding but maybe for the reception. I contacted customer service yet again stating it doesn't show shipped and they guaranteed it would be here. At this point I do not believe anyone at Amazon and I can assure you I plan on letting everyone I know about this experience. I am a VP in logistics and know the shipping process very well. When I contacted an old colleague at UPS he informed me I would never have received the first order on Monday March 18. The truck was stuck in a snow storm and would not depart until sometime Monday which means this shipment would not have arrived until sometime next week.
Shavon should be fired for a blatant lie. I also asked management to credit my Amazon credit card with the $60 so I could still get the promotional deal and they said they couldn't and gave me another gift card. This is unacceptable. It's just another way to get me to spend money. I wanted what I originally had in the original order. At this point I have no idea if I will receive the second order ending in 7849 and it ended up costing me more to purchase. I am beyond angry, disappointed and frustrated. I have never received such poor customer service in all my life. Let's see what lies and response someone comes up with now if at all. Thank you, loyal Prime member who orders a create deal.

I have sent Amazon their information, and then when requested, I sent them a fax of my bank statement with both my address and the account number on it. I sent this fax twice. The first fax was sent on February 27. I called 24hrs after I sent this one and asked if they received the fax, and was told that yes, account specialists had my fax, and that an account specialist would be contacting me within 48 hours. I received no further contact and so I called back three days later, and was told they never received my fax, and that I would have to send another one.
I sent the second fax on March 5. I called after I sent that one, and was told that account specialists had my information and would be contacting me within 48 hours. Again. No further contact for several days. I called on Monday (March 11th), and was told by the representative that he had sent the information up, spoken with a supervisor, and that account services would be calling me that exact afternoon within the time range I specified, due to having classes midafternoon. I never received this callback.
I called again yesterday (March 12th), and was told my email was not connected to an account. They were able to find the account through my phone number, and by pulling it up that way found that the email on the account had reverted back to an old email I had switched from, sometime around June of last year. I was also told that my account was disabled. I asked if I could speak to account services directly, since I had yet to hear from anyone, and the representative told me they would only contact me through an email that they would send later on.
Over this entire time, there have been at least 3-4 representatives that said they would follow up with me later on to see if I had been contacted by account services/if my issue had been resolved, but I haven't heard from anyone at all. I've received no phone calls, and the only emails I have received have been ones sent while I am on the phone with representatives, reiterating that account services needs my billing and account info.
At this point I would say screw it, forget this account and make a new one because I have never had an issue using my debit card on the account before, however, I have a little over $200 in gift card balance on this account and would like it back. In addition to this, I am afraid that since I had signed up for the Prime student free trial (which was canceled due to being "unable to bill at a later date without a valid card"), that I will be unable to get this same deal on another account due to having already entered my student info on this account.
Another thing that I'm concerned about, is that the account will get fixed at a later time and the order I had placed the day my account was shut down will go through. I've been told all of the orders were canceled, but the week following my account being frozen, I received all of the smaller items on the order I placed, the only item missing being the iPad pro from the same order. (Which, I have decided even if we do get this sorted out that I will be ordering from Apple directly, instead of through Amazon, even though it was several dollars cheaper to order through Amazon. The only reason I have not gone ahead and bought it from Apple is that again, I am worried about my Amazon order suddenly going through in some freak happenstance.)
I've always heard Amazon customer service was very excellent, and while everyone I've interacted with has been very pleasant and friendly, I have zero confidence in getting my account fixed or receiving my gift card money back at this point.

Would give zero stars if possible. Jan 31st there were two fraudulent charges for "gifted" Amazon Prime purchases that showed up on my account...paid for by my Chase Amazon card. I immediately called Chase and they said the charges had not been paid yet. They stopped the charges from going thru due to their fraud protection guarantee. I was issued a new card. Chase contacted Amazon and they were instructed to reverse the charges. Days later whilst on vacation I was notified that I needed to pay over $200 for the items purchased fraudulently or my account would be closed. I have contacted both Chase and Amazon 5 times in the last month and a half to make them understand that I am not responsible.
Chase has always protected my interests but they say that Amazon does not allow them to advocate for me or be on the phone to help explain the situation. So I get transferred (5 times already) to Amazon for an excruciatingly painful recap of the events only to be told that they can't do anything until I pay the charges... You know the ones the crook made after they stole my credit card info from the Amazon site. I know this because the card is used exclusively on the Amazon platform. So much for their security.
Anyway because I refuse to pay over $200 for 2 Prime gift memberships... They have closed my Amazon account. This account is my business account and is connected to my seller central, brand registry, and transparency business accounts as well as my personal Amazon buyer account. So my business is affected. 5 detailed calls and several HOURS of my time wasted and I was told again today that they will review my problem and get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. 45 days I have been fighting with them. Sadly, I hold out no hope for resolution. You never get to a decision maker. They have no contact, emails or even the name of a supervisor.

The right hand not only doesn't know what the left is doing...the left hand is actually a "bot" that isn't even human.
If Amazon is reflective of the future, we are heading toward a dark time where robots answer questions you haven't asked and real live customer service is a thing of the past. For all who love Amazon...buckle up buttercup because that day delivery you love so much is going to be the beginning of the end of business as we have always known it. No accountability... Profits are the only thing that matters to Mr Bezos.

I had ordered a few products off of Amazon.com and had ordered these specific items since they are edible for same day shipping through Amazon Prime. I had received notification that the items are on their way in the afternoon and I would be receiving them by 9 pm. At 7:51 pm I noticed in their app that their delivery person was at my apartment complex. At 7:52 pm I received a message that said that an attempt was made and that the business was closed. I had provided my intercom call # that they would enter for me to allow them to enter the building, I received no such call from the intercom. As a consumer, this makes me feel that no attempt was made at all and makes Same Day Delivery pointless.
At 7:57 pm I call Amazon and explained my situation, the person on the line seemed as baffled as I am since my delivery window shows that they would deliver by 9 pm and was told the driver is still on the road and still in the area and would be heading back. I wait 20 minutes, I decided that 20 min was ample time for them to turn around and retry to do their job; delivery of a package. I call the call center again and explained my situation, I was put on hold for quite some time. I was eventually told that they would not be reattempting tonight and that another driver would attempt again at a later date.
I did not even care about the product that much, it was the principle of it. If I chose same day delivery and provided all the information for the driver to do their job correctly, I should receive it the VERY SAME DAY. I ask for a refund since I would not be home to receive the package any other day this week and there have been many thefts in the building lately regarding packages left at the door. They allowed me to cancel the order and give me a partial refund on my Amazon Prime account fee, roughly $11... This review is on AMAZON PRIME DELIVERY only; Amazon did the right thing, but their delivery department definitely needs retraining with an emphasis on customer service and hire honest drivers.

I was kicked off Amazon for no good reason. I have been a customer for years. My credit is perfect. It all started when I was notified that someone had access to my Amazon account. Thinking back, it was probably a scam. I decided to change my credit card and somewhere in doing so, Amazon decided they didn't want me for a customer any longer. It seemed the harder I fought to stay on as a customer the more they said "No". I have been without Amazon for several days now and I've found that life goes on and I'm spending less money. My gain is their loss.

I have been an Amazon Prime member for about 10 years. I order on average once/week from them and have ALWAYS had the option to see 2 day delivery whether with one click or adding to cart. Just this week I noticed a change. Now they are stating, no matter where buying direct from Amazon or one of their affiliates, they are giving a 5 day window. With Prime, you are guaranteed 2 day delivery or you use to be. Now that this has changed, why are we spending $119.00/year to be a Prime member with expedited shipping? I called and spoke to 2 people who just could not get that the options have changed and now Amazon is protecting itself and giving a 5 day window. This is total BULL. I will definitely be rethinking my Prime membership. Really a good thing as you can find items that are on Amazon so much cheaper on other reputable sites.

I ordered flowers for my best friend’s birthday. I got a confirmation email that they would arrive on the right date. The night before I get an email that mentions that they will arrive on a different date. I contact customer service and they are TERRIBLE, the first person I chatted with advised me to cancel my order and reorder. Then he dropped my chat and I was redirected to someone else who didn’t not speak English very well and was clearly having a hard time typing because it would take about 10 minutes for each response.
After explaining my situation AGAIN this person eventually gave up and dropped off the chat. The third person offered an apology which was nice but not very helpful. She “looked into it” and apparently the flowers got shipped to the wrong facility so they had to get shipped back to the right facility and then delivered to my friend. So the flowers are being shipped for days, then delivered late and I expect them to be delivered in a very sad state and in the meantime it’s too late to get my friend anything on her actual birthday. They offered a $5 coupon. Sad compensation for the money I spent on flowers that will not be delivered when I ordered them and will probably be looking very bad after being shipped around. Amazon should not be offering flower delivery when they don’t or can’t control the delivery or quality.

I bought a book off Amazon in January. The book had a fairly reasonable price but since I live in Africa I had to pay about triple the price of the book in expedited shipping to a company Amazon contracted - IMEXX. I was buying the book for a dear friend of mine whose birthday was a month away at the time and IMEXX promised the book would be delivered in about three weeks. Long story short, my friend's birthday has passed, I've been waiting for close to two months now and they keep sending me to customer support and they keeps advising me to wait while they address the issue. I don't know if Amazon's customer service is always this bad but this has left a bitter taste in my mouth. If you are in Africa I'd suggest you use AliExpress or GearBest.

I’ve purchased multiple items from Amazon in the past and had no problems; however, once I did many problems arose... Every time I’ve ordered from Amazon, packages were either delivered via my mailbox or left at my front door. Yesterday I was advised via text the package was not delivered due to an “unsecure” location. I immediately responded via text and going on Amazon’s website in hopes of having my package delivered (to no avail). I then called Amazon around 5:30 and was advised the package was to be delivered that evening between 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm (EST). Unfortunately, the package was not delivered, in fact it had been returned to the carrier office at around 7:00 pm (learned of via tracking).
I, again, called Amazon, this time extremely irate, and was advised the package was to be delivered between 10:00 am -11:00 am, at the latest. At 11:10, my package still had not been delivered. I canceled my Prime Membership. It is now 4:10 and I still have not received my package, and after, again, contacting Amazon, I was advised Customer Service CANNOT guarantee a time to drop off packages. This coming during my 4th conversation with them.
It is unfathomable to me that such an organization could be this problematic that not once, but twice, I was given incorrect information. How can a company not correctly teach Customer Service agents how to give correct information. I’m aware that during my 2nd phone call, I was not pleasant (at all or by any means), but to be lied to adds more insult. “I’m sorry(s)” will only go so far when dealing with the public.

Open a new email account if you want to do business with us. And we don't care that you're a Prime member. We already got your money for the next 10 months, why should we care about your problems using our system." If you want to buy something sold on Amazon, find out who the company selling it is and call them direct. You'll probably have a profoundly better customer service experience!

Very incompetent. I am a Amazon Prime longtime member and Amazon has never missed a payment withdrawal for this so called service. This week, on Sunday I ordered a Computer and with Prime, it was scheduled for arrival in two days, Tuesday. I changed from PayPal to my business credit card - which Amazon made easy - just click on credit card and enter the information.
It appears that someone in Account Management flagged the change from Paypal to a credit - and held the order for credit card verification. Now to this point, it is not unusual to check for fraud - but the incompetence from this point on is as if I was dealing with a overseas 3rd world vendor. The order tracking information indicated that the item would be shipped in the 2 day window - to arrive Tuesday. I called to inquire about the item Tuesday afternoon as it was not received, and the tracking information said not shipped - scheduled, to arrive Tuesday PM. After 45 minutes on the phone, all they could tell me is it was not shipped as it was “in review” - whatever that means.
They attempted to reach an Account Manager - which required about 30 minutes to access. All that I got out of this is - he’s the order was held - no, they did not know why - did not know who held it up - probably due to the change from PayPal to a credit card. I was told they need to contact the bank to verify the... - no one knew what. Now I deal with taking credit cards and know it is a 30 second process- simply enter the card for verification and the response is immediate. So no one at Amazon (remember I am a long time member of Prime and have continuously purchased goods through the Amazon Prime app) would act - until I complained and then they said, "OK, we can send the item in 2 more days," as if they were entering the order for the 1st time.
They apologize and offered me a$20.00 credit... what a sad way to treat a customer. I cancelled the order, bought the same item on the spot at Best Buy and want all to know - do not trust Amazon to look after you - and know that they are incompetent when you make a simple change to... anything out of their normal operating procedures.

I use to like Amazon, trust reviews, experienced good customer service, but lately I'm finding things to be a bit odd. After a brief 6 months of Prime, we canceled. Not one package arrived on the expected date. It was either late, or lost, and forget videos, the selection is old, and everything seems to be "a la carte", not a big deal - however 2 day delivery was for us. Now, as in the past, we've wanted to review products good and bad. I like reviews because I'm a huge product researcher before I buy. We've noticed that our reviews are either posted immediately, 1 out of 7, or rejected because it did not meet Amazon's guidelines for reviews, or it's completely lost in cyberspace and nothing was posted. This has happened over 20 reviews, and only 3 have made it, 1 which Amazon said, "For writing your review we've chosen to gift you $3 toward your next purchase."
This made me even more suspicious of their review practices. Today, after writing 4 more, 1 immediately published, a 2-star book review, I find it safe to say, I'm not sure the other 3, (one which was an Amazon "choice", distributed by them which failed me today after 6 months of use), that they will ever be published. Since the oddness of reviews, I've started to directly purchase my products locally or with the vendors directly, I can wait the extra days if I plan ahead. My gut does not trust the retailer, if you shop enough there you should see the patterns evolving...like so many other business giants, buyer/user beware, something is going on.

I would conservatively estimate that 50% of all reviews on Amazon.com are fake. Word for word duplicates reviews, reviews that are for different products, or "customers" that only have 1 or 2 reviews. Worse, Amazon prevents new reviews of c.r.a.p. products, but LEAVES THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS UP! Then if you aren't careful, you end up with something totally unusable that can't be returned. I've been reporting the problem for years but it's only gotten worse. I've switched to buying as much as I can locally because Amazon just can't be trusted.

I know they're not much better but if they cause Amazon to fail I'm supporting them. I have never had the runaround like I have had since the 23rd. It all started because my son is a Twitch streamer who we so desperately try to support. Slim_ps well me and my wife both have Twitch accounts we use to watch his stream. I spend hundreds a month trying to get his stream going. I had spent 75 bucks from the 21st of February to 28th gifting subs, buying bits, etc.
I purchased $20 worth of bits on the 22nd for my wife to use on his stream. The 23rd they was gone and we was not sure what happened to them so I contacted Amazon who gave me misinformation and a number to call that was not affiliated with Amazon at all. I complained. A guy called me and said he was sorry and he would give me 15 bucks on my account for the misinformation as it was never a policy to provide numbers to organizations outside of Amazon. He then said he would help with the Twitch issue and came back and informed for some reason he could not. Which I was ok with. At least he was honest with me.
Well the 15 bucks was not applied and not only I had been working to get this resolved since the 23rd of February with useless communication after useless communication and here it is 1st of March. So I decided to call and request a supervisor after 10 minutes. He comes on only to say he can do nothing to help me. He would have to get Twitch on the line (For those who do not know Amazon owns Twitch). So he transfers me and the Twitch guy tells me he can't do anything since I used PayPal to purchase the bits which really pissed me off because I used PayPal as payment method only. I purchased them through their site. So I got upset and he hung up on me.
So then I was really upset and called back and asked to speak to a supervisor. His name was Josh ** and he was a complete jerk. I told him I wanted to cancel my Amazon account as I was tired of the BS and he didn't even care. He was like it was another day and I did not matter. Now I have been an Amazon Customer since 2002 so I helped build their brand. You could tell he was being upbeat about just to show I was nothing to them. That really ticked me off. Then he of course tells me how I will lose all these benefits including the $25 gift card I have on their site and that is nonrefundable.
So of course I had to spend that or lose it so I did and he makes sure to include in the email how if I continue to cancel my orders will be cancelled. So as soon as I get that order I'm cancelling my account and I will never shop at this place again and will not be able to continue to support my son on Twitch. I hope they keep this attitude up because we all know that no company is too big to fail. Not even Amazon and they will see soon enough. Useless company with useless people hiding behind their current status. Should be negative 10 stars!

Let’s start by stating that in the last six months of my account, we had 266 orders. Yep, you read that correctly. I had my account since 1999 when I started ordering college textbooks from Amazon. By last year, I would guesstimate we were spending perhaps 10K a year. I never totaled it because we purchased so much through it - toilet paper, groceries, presents, you name it. Christmas 2017 is when things really started going south. I was shocked at how many “new” items I was receiving for a Christmas were arriving used, dirty, not as advertised and/or smashed. We were having to send half of our orders back. One DVD took THREE times to get one not broken! I still continued on...
Forward to most of 2018...more of the same. Here’s a clincher of a sample. I was Christmas shopping early. I bought a 3-story fire escape ladder. (Yes, I realize this is a strange present :)) It showed up in a box that appeared that it could have possibly been present in one of the world wars. Beat to heck, ladder looked like it might have been partially extended. So, I return it, after much pain in the butt interaction with their “customer service” staff, and a replacement is sent. Replacement comes and the bottom rubber pieces that stabilize the ladder look as if they were used/scraped across concrete. The whole ladder looked used, box worse than the first. I thought returning the first was difficult. Ha! Well, when trying to return this and just get my $85 back, the rep actually asked, “Yeah, it look used, but you can still use, right?” Sure, dumb**. A fire safety ladder. I’ll reuse it.
Well, they had received the first one back but never marked it as such. Luckily, I had the tracking receipt. They did NOT want to refund my money. As I’m reading everywhere, “We’ll give you gift card balance”. No, you stink anymore - I do not want to shop your site and guarantee myself more disappointment, lost time and money.
So, finally in November 2018, I started getting warnings about my reviews “violating guidelines”. Good luck getting out of them WHICH guidelines you might be violating. I knew they weren’t permitting any lower star reviews and deleting seller negatives (you can see this when high volume sellers have 80% one day, next day 99% or similar), but thought that was just to swing opinion to buy subpar Chinese crap they are peddling in droves. Oddly, the warnings commenced right after I started reviewing conservative books.
A few I referred to having been a former Liberal/Democrat, but did not bash anyone in any way. I’ve heard dissenters can report your review(s) en mass and you get flagged. Perhaps that is what occurred. So after, “if you don’t correct your activity, we will delete your account”...well, I lost 800+ ebooks, close to 100 audiobooks, etc. Moral of the story: Don’t put your eggs all in one basket. I’m three months Amazon free and it’s rather awesome! I’m back to shopping almost all local brick and mortar.

I had order an item on Amazon Prime which was supposed to be delivered on Thursday 28th Feb. However the product wasn't delivered but the tracking shows it has been delivered and signed by me. I have been continuously following up with their customer care who haven't been able to give any kind of resolution for the last one day. They finally told me I have to wait till 3rd March. The whole point of buying an item on Prime is that it is an emergency. I need the product for my son's show which is on 2nd and now will have to go search and buy the product again. Highly disappointed with their incompetence.

I ordered a book on February 21st, 2019 and six days later I've still not received it. I would be fine even if I received the item today. (The sixth day) I've ordered products from other companies and have received the items much more timely. Receiving items in a timely fashion clearly communicates to me a company appreciates my business. A company that don't focus on getting items to customers in a reasonable timely manner communicates that they don't appreciate my business. I'm sure Amazon wouldn't appreciate it taking over six days to pay for products. Of course they make it so payment is made upfront.
Anyway, if you want a better chance to receive products in a reasonably timely manner order from anyone other than Amazon. Unless you plan to pay for Amazons two-day delivery which I'm guessing why my order is taking over six days standard shipping to get here. Amazon thinks discourage me and I'll pay more for their two-day shipping. Not going to do that. I hope this helps others make informed decisions before ordering products.

I purchased an Amazon TV fire stick. It did not work. I called Amazon, and they sent me a replacement with requirement to return defective one, and they would provide means to return defective stick. I received a timely replacement, but no return packaging or label. Replacement stick did not work. I then received a replacement remote, and new stick and remote now work. Still no means to return original stick.
Later received email requiring return of stick or threat to charge my account. Email said a return UPS address was attached, but the referenced instructions and label were not attached to email. Tried to call Amazon customer service, but there is no way to call them from their site. Tried to use the various ways to report problem on website, but none of procedures got me a reply or way to chat online or talk on phone. Finally went online and through Google search found a customer service number. Called and eventually got sent a new UPS label. If you want a return, then the company needs to give the customer clear instructions and materials needed to make the return.

Amazon (themselves or fulfillment centers) take forever to ship anything! I have ordered from other sellers on Amazon, or went to eBay (and paid more) to buy it. Also cant cancel certain items because they are in shipping for a few days from Amazon. They don’t have their own review page either because they know how bad they are. You may ask “why do I not have Prime?” I don’t because why should I PAY whatever the current price is for faster shipping. They are probably slowing it down for me to try Prime because they ship items faster but they just don’t care how fast things ship. Hopefully this gave a few helpful suggestions.

This was completely ridiculous! I ordered my items 6 items and received an email the next day saying 2 of my items had been shipped and would be delivered the very next day.

However today I checked my account and could not log in. I contacted customer service and discovered my account was on hold. I did not receive an email notification alerting me to this or else I would have called sooner.
When I finally spoke to rep she had no answers for me. I spoke to a supervisor and well he was nice. He could not access my account and I was told I needed to wait 24 hours for fraud prevention to call me back. Meanwhile my card was already charged. Are you kidding me? I had no words. One thing the supervisor said was that fraud prevention was not customer service orientated. So pretty much Amazon charged my card and placed my account on hold. I'm sorry.

MRS ** wanted this particular oven grill. It seemed to take ages to arrive than the webpage said had been. I asked for proof of delivery as all items delivered here must be signed for with proof of identity. Amazon told me it was now not their responsibly it was now between me and the carrier. Of course in law this is wrong as in contract law it is not possible to introduce a third party into a contract after the event.
As nothing had been delivered how could I possibly know who the carrier was! When I explained this to Amazon customer service the agent became abusive. I hung up. Later I spoke to another Amazon Agent who agreed, and confirmed by email, that the cooker was not delivered. However, unless I Reported the matter to the police Amazon would not refund me.
Ok I asked Amazon who was the carrier as without that I have nothing to go on. I hit a blank wall, so I asked Kitchen Kapers who supplied the thing... Again nothing. No one wanted to be helpful. After much telephoning it was obvious to me that for whatever reason Amazon was not going to help. I really did not want this hassle. I explained to Amazon that MRS ** was not well and that I was recovering from a heart attack and we both could go without all this.
For some reason Amazon kept bothering us implying I was making a false claim. How could I possibly do that as to do so I would have to signed for the grill, which I had not. They hassled MRS ** until I told them to keep the purchase money and we bought another grill. Not quite the same but sufficient. (photos and receipts available).
Doing this. Telling Amazon to keep the money has left me free to be as critical as I wish, especially as an AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVE STATED I WAS MAKING A FALSE CLAIM (name supplied by request). Doing some research it does appear that AMAZON will try to discredit genuine high-value claims for none delivery. Also Amazon has a grave problem with its delivery personnel.

Yes, ring the doorbell and leave it in the corner by the mailbox. The guy couldn't figure that out. I have made numerous calls and left a note on my gate asking that anyone making a delivery please ring the doorbell and leave the package under the mailbox. Apparently, the Amazon drivers cannot read, or are simply too rude to be bothered. They prefer to leave it in the middle of the walkway in plain sight and don't ring the doorbell.

I retract my previous complaint. Although my issue was never resolved and the person who did steal was never caught. I just think they need to fortify and restructure who they do business with, mainly their (3rd party clients). I understand it's the persons risk to get things on Amazon, but on the "other hand" Amazon is the top online retailers in the world, and we "shouldn't" have to worry too much about that. Maybe amazon doesnt need to be shutdown but someone needs to be held responsible for the crimes that take place at their store.

Hi. Here is my long rant about this company. I started ordering from them back in 2013-2014 somewhere around there. Then just recently my last 2 packages I ordered got lost on delivery and never made it to my house. That's the time period I think my information was compromised. Because then I fell victim to the scam known as "brushing scam". I never realized they had this kind of scam going on or else I would have never kept ordering from them.
I started getting orders I didn't order. The person who accessed my account was using other people's information probably fake generated information (credit cards, addresses etc). They never used my financial information, just my personal information such as (address and name). They ordered about 12 orders on my account using other people's information. That I never paid for or ordered. They even signed me up for Amazon Prime. So after I noticed this happening I contacted customer service. They weren't really much help because all customer service can do is (cancel, delete, refund) orders. Simple stuff like that. All other deeper concerns is brought over to their investigation team which wasn't helpful either. They did the same thing customer service did "nothing"! They never solved this problem.
I had to request Amazon to delete my account in order to solve this problem. But the person who obtained my information was never found. I even reported Amazon to my local police but they found no suspects. One of the main problem with Amazon is they allow anyone to do business with them (3rd party) meaning any person in the world who wants to buy or sell. The relationship Amazon has with sellers & vendors is horrific and downright illegal and wrong. As long as Amazon gets paid I dont think they care what happens to their customers. Because most of their customer service people are from another country (other than America). I never spoke with a person who spoke good English.
This company needs to be shut down. I thought they were a trustworthy company to do business with. But then after my experience with their sellers (3rd party) is really puts a distaste in my mind about who they are. So long story short, my account was hacked by the scam known as "Brushing scam" and I had to request deletion of my account to stop it. It was a hassle trying to resolve this issue and in the end it was never truly resolved. They just deleted my account & cancelled the orders the scammer placed.
My final statement: don't do business with this company. Ya they may seem great, but once your information is compromised, your life could be in for a terrible onslaught of uninvited hackers/scammers. I think the FBI needs to deeply investigate Amazon, for fraudulent charges, identity theft and stealing. Those are just a few crimes that I am aware of that they have committed against me. I hope someone takes this seriously and does the right thing and brings justice to Amazon's customers, because I know I am not the only one who had fallen victim to this. Thank you for your time and I hope you found this information helpful and dont fall victim to Amazon's crimes that nobody seems to care about!

Before you make any Amazon purchases, check to see if it will be shipped and delivered through Amazon or if a real delivery company like ups will be delivering you packages. I hate to say this but Amazon logistics SUCKS and is very unprofessional. I ordered a pair of kettlebells through prime on a Saturday and they were supposed to be delivered the next Thursday (Still way more than 2 days but whatever). Keep in mind these kettlebells were 20 lbs each and supposedly packed together so this is a 40 lb pound box.
So Thursday comes around and I’m tracking my shipment. I’m at home and get the notification that says I’m the next stop so I looked out my house and saw the delivery van. So I sat down and waited. Well the van never stopped or delivered anything and all day the tracker said I was the next stop as the van slowly worked its way further away from my house and finally back to the warehouse. So I called Amazon logistics and the lady couldn’t give me any straight answers. I asked where my package was and they didn’t know. She said I will get my package today or tomorrow and well it's Saturday now and still no package. She also said she would call me back to update me and she never did.
When I was on the phone she continually told me to “hold on” and I heard a bunch of noise in the background and she kept stumbling over her words trying to feed me some bs. Very unprofessional. So she told me to wait until the end of day and she would call back but no call ever came. Well on Friday I woke up and the tracking thing was disabled and all it said was that it’s late but “expected today”.
I’m not dumb and I know this is a bunch of ** so I called again. This time I got someone a little more helpful and I told him my package is either lost or got stolen (remember it’s a 40 lb package so it didn’t just get wings and float away) and that I want a refund immediately. They never addressed the problem of their logistics LOSING OR STEALING my 40 lb package. Now they say it might come by next Tuesday but if I ordered the same item right now through prime it says I would get it Monday so why would my package take even longer if it was already packaged and shipped??? All of this seemed really shady to me and nobody could give me a real answer as to what’s going on.
I asked for a refund on my prime for the month and they only offered me $5. That $5 doesn’t even cover the cost of a month of prime. I’m canceling my prime subscription immediately. I’m a person of principle and if I pay for a service I should get what I pay for. Amazon just lost a loyal customer that has given them thousands of dollars of business and would have given thousands more in the future, but not now. I hope nobody has the same experience but I only see Amazon shipping getting worse because their training and customer service is nonexistent! !

Amazon is changing and not for the better. Just a few years back, Prime meant 2 day delivery and free returns on nearly everything marked Prime and if the guaranteed shipment was missed you would be credited with a month's Prime membership. Those days are gone. Prime no longer means 2 day delivery or even 2 day shipment. They may shoot for 2 days but if they miss it, oh well. They will offer to refund your shipping cost but if you use prime the cost is built in so you get nothing. Also you must now be very careful when ordering a prime item. Unless it specifically says "Free Returns" next to the delivery statement, you will pay for any returns. Those free return banners are fewer in number every month.
A recent action I noticed is that pricing is changing almost daily. This may have been happening for a while, but you may want to monitor and item you want for a few days. It could go up but it may also go down. Finally there is a huge influx of Chinese origin items flooding Amazon. They don't tell you this up front, but reading Q&A's you can pick up on it often. Not always a bad thing, but there is a higher rate of quality issues with these. Just tread cautiously.

This is going to be a long one, because it took me nearly two months to resolve this issue. I placed an order January 20, 2019 for Seagate Barracuda Internal Hard Drive. An email told me it was delivered on Wednesday (Jan. 23), but there was no package. When I checked the "Track Your Package" link, I discovered it was sent to the wrong house.
When I asked for a replacement the representative helping me said it would arrive Friday, Jan. 25. Once again, there was no package outside and I saw, once again, that it was delivered to the wrong house. Upon reaching out to the Help Desk for a second time, I was sent a second replacement. The only reason I received this one was because the owner of the house it was delivered to was kind enough to bring it over to me. Along with the previous two packages. I repeatedly told them what my address was. In my Amazon account, via email, via Help desk, etc. The person who received all three packages lives more than A MILE from my house. This implies that whoever was delivering them made little to no effort to actually look for my address.
Lastly, because I was honest and admitted I got all three packages, when I called another representative to ask for help in regards to what to do with the other packages, she told me I’d have to return them "or else we'll have to charge you for them." So I asked for some return slips, but was only given one. I ended up taping the two packages together and put the single slip on top. The delivery person refused to take it because "it's technically two packages". The UPS store told me the same thing. Eventually I did get two slips, and the packages were returned. After over a month of dragging the situation out. I am extremely disappointed in how this was handled. As much as they advertise "great customer service" I fail to see where it applies. At this point I'm too disgusted with them to continue business with them.

Hello there, I purchased 14k diamond earrings last year through Amazon and when going into tough times it came time to sell them and I found out they were only 10k and the clarity of the stones were not what they said they were. I contacted them numerous times and they said they'd investigate it. I'm now waiting on my 3rd call back to hear results but they refused me a refund as it has been past their policy date. Do not buy jewelry from this site. They are a sham and untrustworthy and will blame any problem they can on a 3rd party seller rather than nullify the issue themselves. I have been hung up on as well before I've had a chance to say anything and this probably the worst customer service I've seen in a large corporation such as this one. They should be shut down.
