    My company ordered me a welding helmet from them. It cost 389 dollars. Product came in damaged. I sent back the item. They received it today. I have to wait days to get a refund from them and I called customers service and explained that this was needed to do my job and that I trusted them hoping I would be able to use it to do my job. All they said was, "We are sorry. You have to wait for a refund and that’s all we can do." I thought explaining to them the situation they would do something to help but no. Not only do I have to wait for a refund but I have to order another welding hood through them since my company purchased it for me. So I am stuck waiting for a refund just to order and wait again hoping I don’t get another damaged welding hood. Very disappointed!!!!

    I have been waiting for a refund for months. I called 5 times and got 5 emails confirming the refund but still haven't received anything. Every time I call, they apologize, say they can see the request but for some reason they missed submitting it. I can understand they missed it once but 5 times!! The last person I talked to promised me to give me a call everyday until I get the money back but of course, no one called me. I will never order from Amazon again.

    I had a one-month trial membership which was due to expire on May 28th '19. Shortly before that date I went online to cancel and a the Amazon site popped up an offer to extend the free trial by an additional month. I agreed to this only to see a couple of days later that Amazon charged me for the first month's regular membership. I spoke to someone on the phone who denied that Amazon would ever offer to extend a Prime trial the way I described. However, they did do so. I have filed a dispute with the credit card issuer and will explore other avenues should that fail.

    I place an order as a birthday present to be delivered to its destination. When discovered, without being notified, the item was first returned en route from the courier, I contacted Amazon immediately via online chat and discovered it was damaged during shipping. I chuck it to bad luck. I worked with Amazon.com customer service and had the item ship again. I checked my order a few days later and found out that it was returned again. Contacted Amazon again and had the order redelivery again.

    A few days later, the order was returned again. I was confused at this point and had a long chat with customer service as what happened. They told me the item was actually not reordered at all due to their system not being able to process the order. In order to the item to ship again it needs to be a new order. I was really fed up at this point since was going to be a month late when I reorder. I called Amazon and I ask the customer service agent to place the order on my behalf since they have charged me already and I have all my information. I really just wanted accountability at this point since the product is delivered directly from Amazon LLC and not it's vendor.

    And of course, the agent told me that they couldn't do this for whatever reason beyond me. It was ridiculous. I told to just credited the refund back into my account and not my credit card so I don't have to wait for 7 days for the refund to processes. I got the credit 2 hours later and place the order again, contacted Amazon via online chat to get confirmation on the product is actual ordered and delivered this time. The customer service agent told me that they will get in contact with the shipping center to take "extra care" with my order. I tracked the shipping every day and everything seemed right this time. Then on 5th day, returned to shipper again. WHAT IS HAPPENING!!

    I called Amazon that day, then we conferenced with the courier DHL customer service agent who told me that they will investigate my shipping issue and get back to me within hours. I have not heard from DHL for a full day and decide to call. Their agent told me that there was no investigation order but a phone update noted in their logs. WHAT THE HECK!!!! WHAT PHONE UPDATED!!! DHL told me that what happen is that Amazon did not fill in the shipping label correctly. I asked DHL, "So how come this wasn't communicated back to Amazon." They told me that they simply couldn't do it for the amount of Amazon shipment they have to contend with.

    I was furious. I called Amazon and told them what DHL told me. I told them that this is beyond incredulous and ask them to redirect the order to another address since the order won't be received by the intended recipient at this point. I was them Amazon the ship to a new address which they told me that again that they couldn't process online and I would have to place a new order the item AGAIN. So they did the same thing as last time, processed the refund as a credit to my account again and told me that I would see it within the day. It took 2 hours last time and I have not seen my credit for well over 12 hours. At the time of this review.

    The positive: Amazon offers a variety of options in each department. The negative: Where do I begin? As an overseas buyer I've had issue after issue with Amazon. Issues include: 1. Goods not delivered. 2. Consistent late deliveries. 3. Lousy, completely inept customer service. 4. Lack of ownership when things go wrong. 5. Faulty goods delivered.

    Their general response seems to be:

    1. Insincere apologies (if they were sincere, they would pull up their socks and up their game).

    2. Upon insisting that there is some accountability (usually it means *only after* writing to the CEO), they offer Amazon credit.

    If you can source what you need elsewhere, I would highly recommend that you do so. Amazon is simply the worst!

Actually I order one phone from here. They have cancelled my order 2 days back and I have paid Amazon wallet in website. They have updated Amazon wallet refund 2 hours and in mail they will send one working day. But they are not taking serious about this and my refundable amount has not gave till.

    Good day. I ordered 3 different items and was so excited. My money went off from my bank account. The next day I get notification that Amazon deduct the money again. And let me tell you it's not a small amount. I sent an email to Amazon. Amazon told me they can't find my email or address. I call my bank and they told me I must get a letter from Amazon and they will put my money back. Now, if Amazon don't get my address how do I get my money back. Paid twice for my items and now this. It's been almost a week. How can one person be so elated to play with other people money. All I ask is to put my money back in my account. This was the first time I order from Amazon.

    I purchased an item fulfilled by Amazon for $160. When the wrong color was shipped (FROM CHINA) I contacted Amazon. I have been doing business on this site for years and have had a few issues here and there but this was the worst experience ever. I was treated so rudely even told that I was basically lying about checking to make sure that the item was fulfilled by Amazon, I even review my order and it says "Fulfilled by Amazon" even at this very moment. They informed me that my purchase was made from a 3rd party seller. What? Regardless of the fact that Amazon took money from my account and I could see clearly it STILL SHOWS FULFILLED BY AMAZON and then bailed on standing behind the product they offered on their site - now want me to pay shipping to return an item that is not what I ordered.

    I was told that because the item that I purchased was not in stock it came from another seller. Do I not get to decide who I make my purchase from? If it is out of stock would I not be given the opportunity to decide NO Thank You? Shame on you Amazon, I will cease making purchases, for my personal use as well as my business. I will go to Amazon to find my product and I will go outside of Amazon to spend my money - Goodbye Amazon - no time for bad customer service and not standing behind what you are peddling.

    Unlike every other online retailer that offers free shipping that takes longer, Amazon actually won't fulfill your order and ship it if it might come early. They actually punish consumers for not buying Amazon Prime. I placed a order on a Friday and just went with the 5 to 8 day free shipping without a Prime account. Fine whatever. I didn't need it right away and figured maybe it would come early like most things do. But then I went to tracking the next week on Tuesday and realized they had not even shipped it yet.

    I asked why and they said that I chose the 5 to 8 day shipping so they wouldn't even start the order because it would come to soon. But if I wanted to upgrade to Prime they would ship it right away and arrive in two days. I don't know about anyone else out there but when I pay for something that's not special order I expect it to ship in 24 to 48 hours at the latest. Not just to hold on to my order because it would arrive to soon. From the now on I'm just going to go to the store. I'm done with this shady online retailer.

    I love Amazon Prime and order stuff often. Until they started their own delivery service I had no problem but Amazon delivery is terrible. I have my packages delivered to a place of business and they’ve not been able to figure out correct delivery hours so deliveries are late. And half of my packages are torn open or crushed. I wanted to leave a review about Amazon delivery (not the product or the seller) on the Amazon site and was unable to find a space within my order to do so. When I contacted Amazon, the customer service girl wanted to connect me directly with the driver so I could complain to him. Ok but I seriously doubt it will help! I like Amazon but they need to get out of the delivery business because they are terrible at it.

    I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with one customer service rep and than supervisor. Had to call back to get another person who was even worse. I was calling about a gift card I received a few years back knowing it didn’t expire I held onto it to use when I needed something. I tried using it and it didn’t work. I called and was told it was used by another person on another account and because the gift card was not bought on Amazon.com they couldn’t do anything. So I’m out $50.00 and someone else used this card.

    I called again and was told, "Yep. We can’t do anything for you. Sorry". Are you kidding me?? They have proof I didn’t use this gift card and won’t issue me another one or give me a credit to my account. Absolutely ridiculous. I guess since your company has got so big your customer service needs to be crap now. Over the years I have always had great customer service with Amazon but now it sucks. Absolutely sucks. I can’t believe that you Amazon is going to allow someone else to use my gift card and get away with it and do nothing. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I originally ordered a motherboard, memory, processor cooler and CPU from Amazon and graphics card from somewhere else. I really needed the machine today, so I was really looking forward to receive my packages. Finally it arrived and I was really excited, but became really disappointed after I opened the box as I saw a used and scratched old basic CPU, which it has been sold as brand new and as one of the strongest at the market. (I7-8700) Bought it for 250£, worth 15£ as product doesn’t even match (found on eBay for 15£). Ordered from Amazon Prime due to delivery date today. (Paid more for most items.) After filing a complaint to customer service, they offered an apology and that is it. I am utterly disappointed as I have ordered a complete PC, but all I can do is looking at the boxes. Very poor service and complaint management after 4 years of being prime member and hundreds of orders, my membership now cancelled.

    On May 14th I ordered two products. One came in on time, the other never arrived. It was due to arrive on the 17th. On the 17th I checked my order and it had disappeared without explanation. So on the 20th I called customer service and spoke to a helpful woman that informed me they were waiting for 'verification' from my bank and the bank was not responding. They also tell me an email was sent on the 16th. And that someone was to contact me within 24-48 hours with more information. I was informed email was the only possible communication available for such things.

    I call my bank and they inform me there was no indication or contact from Amazon and nothing showing for the price range. I then check my email only to find there was no email. I again call Amazon to update them and I spoke to a man that seemed incapable of listening. He repeated the same line over and over 'someone will contact you within 24-28 hours'.

    I decide to call later and hopefully get a better rep. Sadly, this did not happen as the next person I spoke to seemed to be cloned from the first and had the same line to repeat. I asked to at least verify that they had my email correct, which was apparently too hard for this rep to understand as well. Also I discovered my entire account was frozen. It's now been four days since I first heard 'someone will contact you within 24-48 hours', and 10 days since my order was placed and no one has contacted me. So I called back today and sounded as if I got the same rep as last time.

    This rep then proceeds to tell me they sent a second email on the 19th. When I reminded her that I have no email on the account She then instructed me I could add an email through the app. I was told my billing information didn't match. The same billing information that allowed the second item I purchased at the same time to be ordered and shipped. And all previous orders. Also, now, for the first time I was informed the order was cancelled on the 19th, the day before my first call. The conversation devolved into her repeating over and over that I could use the app to add an email, even when I was speaking about topics entirely unrelated to email.

    I requested a supervisor who, basically, was equally as clueless and useless, just with a bigger title. So 10 days after my order and I still have Zero answers as to why one product was sold and shipped and another had the wrong billing information. Why no one ever called me back. Why I wasn't informed about needing to add an email to my account until 10 days, and 2 emails, later. Why (and how) emails were sent to an account without an email address. How was my order cancelled on the 19th yet no one informed me of this on my next three calls. Now I have to attempt another dreaded call and hope I can get things figured out. I've only had Amazon a few months and am already close to closing my entire account.

    I don't know what happened to Amazon delivery but it is HORRIBLE now. What is the purpose of asking PAYING members what their delivery preferences are if they blatantly ignore them? Usually people list preferences for a reason. I only ask to put my items at my front door (MY FRONT DOOR), that way they can attempt to ring my door bell so that I can get my package or leave it there when I don't answer, but their drivers will leave my packages ANYWHERE they feel like it and then state that "package was handed directly to a resident," yet they left the package behind a flower pot in front of my garage door, when my front door is only a few steps away, and NEVER rang the door bell. LAZY LAZY LAZY.

    I don't know if it is new drivers, or bad logistics but this needs to stop. They won't let us cancel our Prime shipping or I would and just keep the streaming because this is getting worse each time. How do you increase the price of Prime, and the service goes down?? If I wanted that I would have stayed with AT&T. And they will say, "we will do our best to ensure this doesn't happen again," and then it happens 4 times in a row.

    Since the early 2000s I have written almost 500 reviews on Amazon.com for products, books and movies and at one point was one of the top few hundred reviewers on the site. I have enjoyed sharing my opinions and honing my writing skills by writing these review. All of a sudden, however, every last one of my reviews were deleted about 4 months ago. When I finally discovered how to contact Amazon customer service (whose contact info was hidden deeply in the bowels of their website), I was told that one of my reviews had violated Amazon's policies. I was not told which review had violated which policy, but I was promised that someone would get back to me. No one ever did.

    I have contacted Amazon's customer service department at least 15 times over the last 4 months and have been given the same run-around each time. The Indian workers tell me that they are forwarding my problem to the "review team" (who have no contact phone #) but I would assuredly be contacted within 24-48 hours to let me know what the issue was. No one has ever contacted me. One rep though hinted, without confirming, that it was my negative review of the movie, "Black Panther" which triggered my banning when several people colluded to flag it as inappropriate. That is a problem, but the bigger problem is the idiotic deletion of every single one of my reviews and the utterly unprofessional run-around I've been getting from the unbelievably incompetent amazon customer service team from overseas.

    As a long time devotee of Amazon & Amazon Prime? my recent experiences within orders reflecting the “Prime” advantages are done. The yearly rise of the cost to the advantage of membership I have felt were justified, in point the excellence held in customer service related to membership were on a par w/ few? If any, however my last few encounters regarding specific orders fulfilled through in which assistance was imperative to resolve an emergency fail regarding an item directly purchased through Prime, left me with the realization that as the enormity of growth has greatly affected the pricing now found anywhere, as opposed to the years of Amazon having the best price points available bar none?

    There are few reasons to continue “membership” as service decline is now nothing comparatively to past. Lack of premier customer service has been worth the lack of cost effective pricing, the loss of excellence in package delivery, the loss of most everything I originally found superior? Pretty much faded into a fond memory, however the ability to provide the best customer service I had ever received continuously? Yes, was worth the extensive yearly increases Prime continued to charge while as stated declined at the same rate price point excelled. Now however, their customer service is as decreased as benefits of membership. Less than even one star, rude, unprofessional and totally without interest & information on individual consumer. Was told to “order from Amazon Prime NEXT time to ensure my order would receive first priority in ability to assist me? Ah, excuse me?

    The item contacted as to needing replacement assistance WAS ordered from? My son’s turtle heater stopped in middle of night, not something I could replace by going to mortar, & specifically purchased BECAUSE of the knowledge I falsely held in security of assistance should anything go awry. Begging for another item of similar nature I would PURCHASE & go over the problem she presented in lack of professional knowledge of order at later date? Was told “got no idea”, and AGAIN instructed only to purchase through Prime if I was to encounter any issues with a new product? When told to contact seller? Requested info? Blurred on screen for exactly 6.2 seconds and gone the moment she “ended conversation”. After? Lost merchandise again purchased through Prime ended when after weeks of nothing I inquired with a blunt “yeah contact seller?”

    So many continuously same unprofessional actions after? I would NEVER recommend the price of Prime to ANYONE considering. Another competitive as Jet.com? Even the dreadful area that Walmart.com offers at least are expected with difficulty in areas, not areas of difficulty you need to PAY them to adhere to in within ridiculously unexceptional, unacceptable, & unprofessional customer resolve & solutions.

    I've been an Amazon.com customer for several years now and we've been happy, however for awhile their Amazon was using a delivery carrier called OnTrac which was a nightmare. Items were delivered to who know where and took 2 weeks at times. Now it seems that Amazon has their own delivery service and it's a scary thing indeed. The drivers are in street clothes, unmarked cars and look like day labors or someone that 30 minutes prior to being near your front door were holding a cardboard sign begging for alcohol money. These individuals sometimes bring other people with them in their automobile. I witnessed one person get out of the delivery drivers car and scope out the items in my garage. Another delivery was past 9 pm on a Sunday. Amazon delivery service in my opinion is inviting potential crime to my front door.

    When the USPS or UPS delivered packages I was able to track my package and know where my package was. Some carriers even provided a text message that your package was delivered. Now all I get is that my package was delivered to a secured area. Well that package wasn't delivered to me, my front door or mail box so wherever the secured area was I had no idea. If Amazon is going to bring unmarked cars and strange people to my front door that I would cross a street to avoid then I'll take my business elsewhere.

    Amazon now sends you a bar code to make a return on prime that can only be done at a genuine UPS store, not a pack and ship. I had to run all over to make my return. As a USPS and UPS customer, in the past if I had to make a return they sent me the RMA, I printed the label and could drop USPS in my post box or drop at the pack and ship a few blocks away. Very simple process. Now I have to drive miles and stand in line for service which is very annoying. Think Amazon is getting too big and spoiling some of the great features that made them so successful.

    Wake up Amazon! Don't complicate what a great process you had going. I buy a lot on here. Sometimes because I have prime I buy stuff because I do not feel like running out to shop when I know I can have it in 2 days anyhow. I will no longer buy anything such as clothing, since the return process is no longer friendly. I was very careful to read the sizing reviews, but apparently the people giving them were not real accurate.

I would not have ordered if I knew that. The same thing just happened again. I ordered from Amazon because I needed the item right away and it was supposed to arrive today. It hasn't come and I just looked at the order and now it says it will arrive in 3 weeks. What is up with this? These are the things that remind me why I left in the first place.

    Don’t order anything large and expensive. I spent $260 on a home gym. I only received roughly half the parts. After months of back and forth, they approved a return, at my expense. Because of the weight, that would have cost more then I paid in the first place.

    Before my rant, I want to say I love all things Amazon, I am and will stay a loyal consumer in spite of my current experiences. About a month ago, my account was compromised, I thought it was handled until I tried to log into my account to find it was temporarily disabled.. Go Amazon security!!! Well it is still disabled, 5 weeks later. I have spoke with at least 6 different reps. Finally spoke with a Jarrett ** who knew what he was doing. Needless to say I was unable to answer security questions, account still closed. After an hour and 10 minutes, we discussed opening new account. Can’t use my email. Already in use.

    I am now becoming upset, they will not open my account or refund my gift card $$ as I was told is a federal law. He refused to connect me with someone that could help, I told him I could wait, he replied, "There is nothing more I can do for you so I am going to disconnect" and he did. I totally get the security issue. But what bad business. He could clearly see my account on his end. Why not let me open new account and refund the gift card??? Super sad customer. ☹️☹️

    Today is May 14, 2019 and, supposedly, Amazon has implemented a new push to get items to us in one day. The problem is, items are not always delivered when advertised, which is a huge problem in this day of porch pirates stealing items. If I schedule a delivery, I make sure I will be home that day. If Amazon doesn't deliver that day, as scheduled, that means I have to take time off or adjust my schedule so that I'm home on their new delivery date.

    I'd prefer if Amazon was just more accurate and honest about the day they say my deliveries are coming. Right now, I have to stay at home today to receive an item that was scheduled for delivery YESTERDAY. So that makes two days in a row I have to make sure I'm at home. I just called Amazon to complain about this and was told that their deliveries can't be guaranteed and that I should try using Amazon Lockers. Not practical for larger deliveries and very inconvenient. So much for one day or even scheduled deliveries...

    I ordered this swimsuit at $14 to be fulfilled by HOLIPICK and shipped via "PRIME" because it was advertised as 1 day Prime shipping, and clearly a great price. I saw that the payment was debited the evening it was ordered, and received notification that it was shipped the next day. I had no reason to believe that things had gone awry or that it would not arrive by the estimated 1-2 days shipment date advertised. It was not until it did not show up that I began to question things.

    I went back to review my shipping confirmation email and realized that it was showing an expected arrival date anywhere b/t 3-6 weeks out. I needed it within the week. I called Amazon to attempt to rectify the situation only to be told that their system showed it was purchased through a 3rd party and there was nothing that they could about the time frame.

    I advised that although their system was reflecting a 3rd party that was not accurate. I have my account set to always use PRIME shipping, so I'm not sure how a 3rd party shipper got involved. They could not explain this either. Basically, told me it was not possible. They also could not explain why on my end it appeared I was ordering something being fulfilled by Amazon while on their end it was showing a 3rd party. They also could not explain why if it was not the "same" item I ordered, when even if I clicked the link from my account order history to "buy again" it was taking me to the link showing the Amazon as the party fullfilling the shipment.

    Oh, and peeps... this item that wasn't the "same item" had all of the exact reviews and questions that were on the ITEM that they say was the ITEM I ordered. I think we can all agree that ALLOWING THE SAME REVIEW ON ITEMS - EVEN WHEN SOLD/FULFILLED BY DIFFERENT SELLERS IS EXTREMELY MISLEADING!!! And a Major FAIL on Amazon's part.

    They were NOT willing to do anything but provide a refund of the $15 that was spent on the item, and ALLOW me to purchase the another at the price of $26.99-meaning I would have to pay $12-$13 more now than what was initially paid FOR THE "SAME" ITEM - all to have it shipped by AMAZON PRIME as it was originally purchased! I feel this is not an acceptable solution to the problem. I now trust nothing or any reviews left on this site. VERY, VERY displeased!!!

    I am not an Amazon Prime customer. A neighbor on another street is. I have consistently received his packages delivered to my home since before Christmas 2018 (I guess that when he got Prime). My address is clearly marked at the end of my driveway. However since the drivers only use GPS and apparently not their own eyes, my neighbor's items are delivered even though it is a completely different address. On GPS, the streets overlap and the screen must be expanded to show they are separate roads.

    I called Amazon yesterday (again) to complain of misdirected delivery and the phone rep said to "dispose of the package, or you can donate it." I was shocked and asked her to repeat that. She said the item can be thrown away. I guess the expectation is that the buyer will wait a few days, not get his package and have to call to see what happened to it and they'll resend it? What an unbelievably shabby way to do business. I've been an Amazon customer off and on but am really rethinking if I want to continue giving them my business in any manner. Shameful way to do business.

I am one person that has gone through this today alone. At least half of my orders have ended in disappointment in all the time I have been a member...

    Think of how many people get wronged everyday by Amazon and the only thing they offer is to give you your money back. Give you some promo which turns out to be nonsense. Or offer an excuse or solution that later turns out by yet another person to be untrue and they actually say, "I dont know why they would have said that" and the circle continues. Instead of that nonsense that doesnt fix the problem. Fix the problem- YOUR EMPLOYEES!! They are all on different pages. Train the employees that have to run the company. With the same play book so everyone has the same training and knowledge they need to deal effectively with the customers. Amazon is out of control!! No accountability and no integrity.

    Today I noticed on my credit card statement two charges for Amazon video. Since I have never signed up for, nor watched an Amazon video, I was concerned about why I was being charged for this. When I called Amazon and explained the situation, they said they were able to see the person’s account who was using my credit card. They asked me to guess who it might be. I gave my husband’s name but they said it wasn’t him. I explained that nobody else has access to my credit cards or my Amazon account.

    Even though they could see who was fraudulently using my credit card, they refused to give me that person’s name claiming it was due to “security reasons“ and “protecting that person‘s privacy”. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they transferred me to some senior account person and told me that was the highest person I could speak to. That person ultimately told me the same thing. It appears Amazon is supporting credit card fraud for people who are using stolen credit cards to purchase their goods and services.

    So, I have been a Prime Member for like 6 years now. I had a student membership, and until last year, I was still utilizing that. I am no longer taking classes, but Amazon charged my account without A.) notifying me of the increase in my Prime membership fees, and B.) without notifying me they would be charging my card. $99 for Prime membership was already expensive - to PAY to buy things?! When your organization doesn't even PAY TAXES in my country?! But $128?! And I was told the additional $10, (Prime membership is apparently $119.00 currently), is FOR TAXES?! That's awfully BOLD.

    Walmart offers the same service, often with LOWER prices. There are SO many companies that are online nowadays and they DON'T charge you to do business with them. I'm over it, Amazon.

    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.

    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.

    I ordered an Adidas team toiletry bag, and received a very cheap and tacky plastic ring! The ring was posted from China. I am incredibly disappointed, and have contacted Amazon numerous times through email, and by 'live' chat service on their website. The chat was not responded to at all, and have had no email contact as yet. The ring is so cheap - coloured gold plastic, branded Cartier - lol.

    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.

    I had ordered a DVD on Amazon and chose one day shipping. Waiting for my package to arrive, I soon discovered from an email that they sent me that the package was delivered. I look in various locations where they usually leave the packages and was not there. After further investigating, it was made known to me that was given to some resident. This makes fourth incident where Amazon did not deliver in the delivery time frame or they just didn’t at all. It used be a top notch company in my book but it has gone downhill.

    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. Buyer beware....

    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 am deeply disappointed in their poor management of things.

And now they no longer pick up packages - you have to take it to a UPS store yourself. One of the reasons I used to like Prime so much is because I am disabled and it was extremely helpful when I had to return something - UPS came by and picked it up! No longer. Additionally their return policies have changed - now when I need something returned - Amazon has to "approve it". Unbelievable.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    I collected my parcel from your agent and while I was moving towards my office, I was opening the wrapper. I had managed to open the wrapper in 10 seconds and when it was opened I found that there was only empty boxes. I immediately turned back and informed this to the agent who replied that he is helpless and asked me to complaint this through your customer care number which I did immediately. I was asked by your colleagues to wait till the investigation gets over.

    Today when I called your customer care number to check the status of refund, I was told that their investigation shows that the product is delivered to me so money can't be refunded whereas I was delivered only empty box. If you want, you can check with your delivery agent. Further if you want I can show you the CCTV footage of my office premises where product was delivered to me. Therefore, I have sufficient proofs to prove that actual product wasn't delivered to me. You are requested to look into the matter and do the needful to refund my money.

    I think I am done with Amazon. I cannot even remember how many times I have been told a delivery time when I place an order and then it magically changes when I track my undelivered item. I ordered a phone cover and paid $11.19 extra to have it delivered by today at 8 pm. Item was a no-show. I get on Amazon chat and explain the situation, request a refund, and even show the rep the original promised delivery date. The rep keeps telling me the delivery date is tomorrow by 8 pm. I explain, again, that the original promised date is today. I request a refund of the expedited shipping charges and I was told the item will be there tomorrow b/c it is just a few miles away. If it was just a few miles away, then why did it not make it to my home today? Sorry Amazon, my business is going elsewhere henceforth.

    I own an independent and well established retail shipping store that is an UPS authorized shipping location. We have serviced our community for 32 years and are very well known and relied upon in our little part of the world. The Amazon QR scan code package returns methods has caused an alarming number of negative customer experiences. Only UPS Store franchises are able to scan these codes and help the customers. The problem is the average everyday person does not differentiate UPS stores from other authorized UPS shipping locations. They bring their items in and we have to explain to them why we can't help them.

    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. We do our best to ease this unfortunate situation, but we the messenger and not the solution resolver at this point. This process must be explained in much more detailed fashion to Amazon returners or, better yet, expanded to allow non-UPS Store authorized shipping locations to participate. I question if Amazon has any clue as to the amount of frustration this return method causes their customers.

    Why am I paying for prime delivery when every time for the past two months (5 deliveries) I get a notification that they couldn’t leave it because there was no secure location? 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.

    I have been a very loyal Prime customer of Amazon for years and up until this last year have been so impressed with their customer service model. I recently was the victim of fraudulent activity on my account and the customer service in trying to deal with this issue has been horrible. I have called multiple times regarding digital gift cards being purchased through my account and follow up emails galore. It has been weeks and still no refunds or response from their “security department”.

    The primary customer service cannot see or access my account history to show previous information/emails and calls and one email says nothing was found to be wrong with no mentions of refund. And then 2 days later another digital gift card was purchased again! Every time I call they put in a “form” to their security team to get back to me. Meanwhile I cannot access my account due to a hold on it. I am so saddened by this whole situations as I have always loved and tooted Amazon as such a great company but now maybe it has grown too big that the quality customer service is no longer a priority.

    Amazon used to be a good company. Ever since Bezos became the richest man in the world they apparently stopped caring about quality or customer service. I ordered the Onelink Safe & Sound by First Alert and they sent be a clearly defective customer returned item that already had the "discharge" tab on the back poked through, which permanently disables the battery after the smoke detector has failed.

    I let them know and they claimed to have refunded my money (but days later the refund still hasn't shown up on my credit card online statement), but wouldn't issue a replacement and told me to buy another one. So I bought another one and waited for it to arrive. I opened it and immediately saw that it had previously CAUGHT ON FIRE. There were very clear burn marks on the item. I appreciate the irony of sending me a smoke alarm that had previously caught on fire, but I didn't exactly plan on spending hundreds of dollars on a paper weight. So I contacted them again and informed them of being sent two clearly defective items in a row. However, for the second item they are refusing to issue a replacement that hasn't been on fire and are making me jump through hoops to get a refund. Absolutely awful customer service.

    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 am never trusting Amazon in my life again and would suggest nobody to do so either.

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.

    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.

    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.

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 am so sure they won't deliver it the next day, of course. It's such a joke of a business. I'm sick of it! Don't advertise what you can't DELIVER! PUN INTENDED!

They have lost multiple time (I'm assuming they're keeping the products). It's common to deliver my items to my neighbors, and most of the time they're late.

    1. I ordered a tile installation based on the quoted price of $250 for 50 Square feet of tile in a bathroom. When the contractor contacted me, he said that the starting price was actually in the $800's for labor, but that it could be significantly more. I got a refund for the services, but it was a hassle.

    2. I tried to book an installation for a garbage disposal replacement which Amazon lists for $99.21 for my zip code. As soon as you click it, it turns into $187.51. It's click bait and false advertising.

    It's officially been 2 months and 7 tries later that I've reached out to Amazon for a refund on an item I returned. They have confirmed the item was received and I am due a refund, however they are having trouble submitting it as a gift card claim, or returning it to my original form of payment. They say their system keeps cancelling my refund, but they can't figure out why. There has been 3 customer tickets issued, and I still do not have a refund. I asked to speak with someone in their I.T. Department and was told that they do not have an I.T. Department. Also, getting a supervisor was the highest level I could reach.

    I asked just to be given a gift card redemption code and I would redeem it myself, and was told they didn't know how to do that. I asked to just be credited the amount and that was a no go. I said, then just give me a credit on my Prime account and not charge me and they couldn't do that either. I was informed that they don't know what's wrong and can't fix it, I just keep having to wait 3-5 days EVERY TIME! I guess I'll never get my measly little $49.

USPS made NO attempt to deliver this package, my address is NOT undeliverable as 200 people live in this building & Amazon refuses to request the termination of the offending carrier. Thanks Amazon! Everyone go to the boycott Amazon website for future business.

    "Hi Jane, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it looks like USPS did indeed issue a "return to sender" on this package. We don't know why they did that, but I will now issue you a refund. We are unable to reship the book to you because USPS has declared your address as undeliverable by returning your package to us marked "Refused, Unable to Forward, Return to Sender." We do not use FedEx or UPS for shipping because the cost to ship small packages through them is very high compared to USPS.

    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!

    The higher department I was referred to kept showering me with automated emails which made the whole experience even more disturbing. This undoubtedly has been the worst shopping experience I have ever had and I do not think that I will be dealing again with this arrogant and dismissive company!

    I think that trying to be the BIGGEST in the world at EVERYTHING, and CRUSH all of the competition, has finally caught up with AMAZON. The customer service is now mainly run by foreigners, who deal with most every situation by making up so much B.S. to try to appease the customer, and then you find out later, EVERYTHING they say they have done is total B.S.--a bunch of total lies to get them a good review, and hope the customer totally forgets what they say they have done to rectify bad products, refunds, etc. I am pretty much done with AMAZON. I have been a long time customer, but absolutely HATE their new way of doing business.

    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. I do not blame the employees per say--I have a feeling they are under tremendous pressure to keep their job, and doing whatever is necessary, lies and all is now part of their job description.

Knowing that it made no difference money-wise to what I was buying, I accepted it, only to find out from my bank account that I was charged £7,99 and that upon canceling it, I'd be refunded £4 instead.

    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. Because of that screen prompt, that made no sense given my account's history, Amazon literally STOLE my money! And for what? All I wanted was to buy an item and even that's not happening anymore.

Before the items were even paid for, my debit card had been frauded through Amazon's lapse security. Thankfully, my bank immediately deactivated that debit card. Not wanting to go through this again, I immediately canceled my Amazon account. When I spoke to the representative to confirm cancellation, I was told that Amazon was going to credit my debit card for most of the yearly fee. Sounded good until I informed that person that the credit would not be possible to place on my deactivated debit card.

    This person actually tried to tell me to tell my bank to push the credit through! That is not how the financial industry works. I requested a check be sent. Her response was that the only way to give me a credit was to credit the debit card that is no longer active. HUH??! So, long story short, Amazon keeps their yearly fee, and I get nothing in return.

    Well I placed an order on 7th July 2018, paid online through debit card. 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.

I wanted to take the two tables, make one semi-decent table that I could hide the damage against the wall and throw the other items in the trash. They informed me I had to take the remaining items apart, package them all backup or I will be charged for two units.

So now I have to lose another days work to make sure this carrier shows up tomorrow and takes the pieces that I have left out for him. If I had treated any customer the way in which I was treated today I would lose my job. Threatened me time after time to charge me twice and did not care about my loss of wages for three separate days out.

    So, I am a person who tries to obey the rules, tries to do the right thing in everyday life. I was an Amazon Prime Member. What pissed me off is that I bought a Bose SoundTouch 300 soundbar from Amazon. I couldn't wait to review the system. But, to my surprise, Amazon pretty much said that I did not purchase from Amazon, so they could not label it as "Verified Purchase" in my review. It made me mad. So, I canceled my Prime Membership, and deleted the review. Piss poor quality on their end.

    My mom place an order for me which was suppose to be delivered today, Sunday March 24. I made sure I was home to receive it. My mother was tracking it and I was staying on top of the delivery making sure I do not miss them. After several hours I had check to see where the delivery was. I saw a message, “We will try again. We tried to deliver your package. Unfortunately we could not deliver your package because the building was closed. We will try again. Was expected today.”

    I was home waiting for over 2 1/2 hours for a package that was suppose to be delivered to my door. The driver NEVER came to my door. I have already made a complaint about your deliveries. I will tell my mom to stop order my stuff from this company. I am going to do the same if I cannot have my packages deliver to my door like they are suppose to if I am taking the time to be home for my packages. Your driver wasted my time yet again because they were too lazy to call or check to make sure I was home.

    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!!!

    I NEVER shop on Amazon strictly due to the fact that I have witnessed unpleasant experiences through family members. I also just personally prefer to shop in person. Realized on my bank statement that I had been getting charged $7.00 a month for the past six months for an amazon prime subscription?! Called and was on the phone for 2 hours. I told them they could check my history and see that I never even shop through them so there is no reason for me to even have set up a subscription. The prime was set under my card but another email and phone number. They refused to refund me and couldn’t send me the information or an email where I could contact someone else about the issue since the email was under someone else. I had them remove my card, still wasn’t offered a refund. I am furious. Will never EVER shop through their website again. Horrible customer service.

    Where does one go to vent about a bad vendor experience on Amazon when Amazon deflects any reviews that aren't positive? The same thing happened to my boss. 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 never thought I would say this, but WalMart is better.

    A few weeks ago I ordered some cotton tops. They sent me some cheap nylon tops instead. At least return was easy. A few days ago I ordered a leave in hair conditioner. Instead of the original one they sent me the much cheaper imitation, admitting even in the shipping confirmation that I was getting the fake product. I contacted Amazon and according to their site the product cannot be returned because it is flammable. Are they selling a dangerous hair product? Can they overcharge me without consequences? Are they allowed to ship flammable products, and I am not? This feels like a real fraud to me.

    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! It is the biggest rip off, time waster and most stressful shopping experience I have ever had with staff that either have an inability or lack the capacity to actually provide customer support. I am literally telling everyone I meet about this.

    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. They sure do play dirty yet they did not even pay any taxes this year. I just don't understand the mechanics of this.

    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 been locked out of my account since February 21st (It is now March 13th), for the reason that Amazon could not verify the info on my credit card, or contact my card issuer. 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. Only first names and last initial is provided by any representative spoken to and NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING! 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...

    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.

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.

    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.

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 ordered a product and it was defective. The seller asked that I send the product back to them, which I did. They failed to send me a replacement so I called Amazon to complain and they said they would send me a replacement and deal with the seller. A month later (now) Amazon sends me an email saying I am being charged for this product - again - because they did not receive the return. I just spent 45 min with Amazon customer service, 4 different people, each asking for the order number and the details. They refuse to reverse the double charge. Luckily I used American Express so will be disputing my charges and cancelling my Prime account. I have email chain from seller showing the return was received. Amazon told me to get seller to send me a new item to send back to Amazon. WTF? Worst.

As the date mentioned first available from 5 February 2019 considering this is 2019 product. As no questions and reviews were there in this product listing. Raised return request. Customer care called me thrice today and they were only keep saying sorry. They did not ready to accept return request. They are accepting the fact that they are selling old garbage products. But keep pointing to their policies. Never buy.

    I ordered a preorder game for a friend as a gift and that game is due to release in a week and a half for preload. I go to review my order there a new release date for the preorder that stated I'll have to wait 7 months for it. I call customer service about the fact the date is wrong. They tell me that the release date is for the physical copy only and that Activision isn't doing digital copy till October which I know for a fact is a lie as already had purchased a digital copy for myself and it's already linked to my PlayStation account. Yet they completely marketing the digital code as a preorder and to be available when the game is released. I have since Canceled Order and repurchased it through Gamestop and had the code the same day not waiting 7 more months past the release date for it.

    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.

    I return items on 2/6/19 and as of today I still have not received refund on my return. Worst of all IT'S ONLY $8.49. On 2/12 I contact Amazon Chat to resolve/check status on my return and according to Ralph, it my refund was cancelled and he reprocess for my refund and Amazon will refund my $8.49 in 3 to 5 business day and I received the email confirmation on 2/12. On 2/21 once again I contact the Amazon Chat since it's been over 3 to 5 business days and this time I was chatting with Venkat and same - this refund was cancelled and she will reprocess. Again another 3 to 5 business days. Then on 3/2 I CALLED this time, and sure enough process got cancelled again! This time I spoke to team leader and she assume that it will be refunded. So I believed the leader and move on.

    Today, 3/8, I chat first with Mohit and going nowhere and I asked to chat with supervisor. Then Shailni (she is leader) came on she promised that refund will be processed but I just can believe. I even ask them so send out the refund in AMAZON GIFT CARD and they can't even process that. All in all, I had hope that I will get my money back. After all it was only $8.49. I could just let it go. But this is principal and integrity of business. If they promised then it should be done and follow thought making sure satisfied customer at the end. All these people I chat, talked on the phone and they don't even know WHY MY REFUND GOT CANCELED.

    I wish that this problem will not happen to them and they should really find out WHY!!! I failed to get my principal and I'm very upset that. I even bought stuff from Amazon... Actually this is first time I purchased a lot of stuff from Amazon, and I regret that. I hope this feedback is helpful to someone, and I really hope that someone in upper management at Amazon sees comments and fix the issues we are having!!!

    I am in no way inexperienced online or with computer skills in general. However I find it impossible to easily date a movie through Amazon Prime. What the?? It makes no sense. Let me help direct me to the movies I might enjoy!! Is this just more to push me to paid movies? I'm not buying them and it is extremely frustrating.

    If you live in a bad part of town or have people steal your packages or even if you are buying a large item, do not buy off Amazon. I have had 5 packages stolen off my porch in the past 3 months and now they are now making me file a police report and wait 3 days to call again to get a replacement and and even put me on hold for 20 minutes while they called my police dept to be sure my report number was real. So because UPS is delivering onto my porch though instructions say to deliver to office so my items get stolen and it’s somehow my fault.

    I came back from vacation and went to log into Amazon and order some product I needed and have purchased before. Amazon blocked my sign in and wanted me to answer a security question... (This is NOT a security question I approved of.) They asked me to supply the expiration date of the credit card I have on file. My card date expired and I got a new card with new expiration date. When I get a new card, I always shred up the old one. I have NO way of knowing what the old expiration date was... so am NOW locked out of my account. I tried calling them and they wanted to know what my last three purchases were. I have NO idea. When I order things I save the purchase order from them until I receive All the items I bought. I then delete the order from my email... so without being able to sign into my account, I have NO idea what I purchased in my last three purchases.

    So As of now, I am locked out of my account and NO WAY to retrieve my account, no way to delete it. AMAZON should be ashamed of running its business this way... using the expiration date of a credit card you are using is NOT ACCEPTABLE AS A SECURITY QUESTION... EXPIRATION DATES DO NOT STAY THE SAME. THEY CHANGE... Barbara.

    I have bought the tires from Amazon online and asked to be shipped at Tire Choice in Lakewood Ranch, FL. At the same time, I also bought the tire installation service from Amazon so Tire Choice would be the one deliver it. I requested an appointment weeks in advance and confirmed. Calling Tire Choice the day before, they did not know about my appointment. Nevertheless, I set up a new appointment. When arrived to the appointment, Tire Choice has not been informed by Amazon that I have bought the installation service. Therefore, they asked me to pay again at the much higher price. This is my first time buying from Amazon and will be the last for this particular service.

    Amazon is a leader in online shopping, most likely because they don't need to communicate with you directly. I find it hard to believe a company with the IT sophistication they have can't merge two accounts into one. They had the inconsiderate gall to tell me, basically, "Too bad. 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!

    Used to love Amazon. They always delivered on time as advertised. Their delivery logistics today leave a lot to be desired. I have now started using other service providers such as Walmart and Best Buy as well as Lowe's. They deliver in a more timely manner. I suggest consumers check who actually can meet their needs. I don’t know about you, but sending a delivery after 9 pm at night isn't acceptable Amazon... Others are now meeting your price and deliver at reasonable times.

    Ordered a television from Amazon February 24th, my delivery date was March 6th (today). My package was delivered March 4th without my knowledge so a door tag was left saying that they would retry 3 times before they’ll send the package back to Amazon. I waited all of yesterday with the tracking saying that it’s on the truck and out for delivery. Talked to a customer service rep at 8 pm and was told the package was rescheduled for delivery today in the morning. Never came. Called back and was told it would be here by no later than 3 and guess what time it is? =|

    Amazon's site allows one to buy everything, including kitchen sinks. What makes them better is the customer support. When purchased directly from Amazon, the support is awesome, it trickles down a bit when purchased from an Amazon reseller, these 3rd party sellers stock goods at nearly unbeatable prices, but the return policies can vary. In spite of overseas support from Amazon, it is still good. In the past 5+ years, I've had only one negative experience with Amazon's customer support; compared to many with local brick and mortar stores.
