I will start by saying that I have used Amazon for multiple years and purchased many products from them. It is definitely my go to place for online shopping. I live in a house and delivery was never a problem when Amazon previously using UPS, USPS and FedEx. My product mostly reaches on time and leave at front door with no problem. However, my understanding is that now Amazon started to use its own crew or contractors to do the shipping. Now I started to have problem.
I ordered a phone case and screen protector on a same order. Both showing coming separate package and all should arrive on 12/27. The screen protect came with no problem. It was left at my front door even with a photo showing where it is on my tracking account (good feature). I expected my phone case would arrive the same day later with the same practice. To my surprise, around 6:30 pm I receive an email saying the item was not delivered due to carrier cannot access to my building. Well, there is no building here, it is a house. Previous delivery just went with no problem on the same day with items in the same order. After about a half hour chatting with Amazon help desk, they say it will attempt delivery tomorrow (we will see...).
So now is my question and my concern: (1) If the message means that I have to be at home receiving my order, well this will be a HUGE inconvenience factor going forward. I will have to rethink whether I can continue with Amazon purchase. (2) There is no proof that carrier even made first attempt to deliver. The description says building, but my address is a house.
Also, on the tracking, time stamp of the message for failed attempt to enter building comes 1 min before the time stamp of the message saying it reaching back to carrier facility. Looks to me the carrier entered these at the facility when package went back. I don't know what happened, but either case leads me to be more worried about Amazon's own delivery crew's competency. As a successful online company, delivery reliability is very important, with Amazon's new practice, I started to question... BTW, Amazon help is no really help as well. All it says is that they will attempt again (again we will see), but no apology/compensation or anything.

I ordered items from eBay (Game system and some other things in separate transactions) before and after I ordered an item from Amazon.com (game controller). The difference is the Game system from an eBay seller got to me days ago (3 or 4 days in transit) and the Amazon game controller has yet to be in transit and it has been a week! The appalling thing that I ordered both around the same time! Those other things mentioned earlier; I order them up to 4 days after the single controller that I am waiting for from Amazon and, you know what, I have already or am supposed to receive half of those things by today. Again, Amazon is only almost ready to ship. It took a week for them to get to almost ready to ship on a single game controller/joystick! eBay sellers/USPS have already shipped most of what I ordered to me and Amazon has not even that single little package!
Also, it's not only that: They constantly have delays in shipping where something went wrong! Just imagine if both shipping problems happen in the same transaction! These things have happened to me not only in this transaction, but in others. To put it frankly, I am SOOO tired of it! Maybe they are trying to recruit you into Prime by showing you what you will get without it: That doesn't make me any less tired of it! What I see is eBay and Wal-Mart getting products to you far, far faster and as cheap or cheaper without having to join a single thing (that will charge the amount per month that you could be doing something else with).
Then, their prices and selection isn't that good, either. eBay beats them there by far and Wal-Mart would beat them there, if they sold used products. Still, Wal-mart allows you to buy in and/or pick up in store. I don't endorse Wal-Mart, because of current events. Still, they are far, far faster than Amazon. I THINK THIS IS THE LAST TIME, UNLESS I HAVE AN EMERGENCY!

You still won't answer why. Only that I can't use the review system anymore. Your stock answer does not answer the question and apparently you still cannot answer me. If this were a court case it would be thrown out because for lack of evidence. You really need to examine your policies on how to handle a customer's right to know what, why, and when something was violated to resolve. I guess a big corporation really doesn't care about its customers. This not only stops reviews, but will not even let me ask a question to a vendor. Also, as you won't let me review a product you sure don't stop me from purchasing from Amazon. Double standard! As of this year I will no longer be a prime member of Amazon which I have been for more than five years. I said five years, but it has been since 2006 I have been purchasing products from Amazon.

This review is being provided for Amazon India. I had booked one shoe costing around 5.1k on 23rd December and it was a offer time and hence I was getting cash back of around 1700. This shoe was also available in other Online shopping websites but by my bad luck I choose Amazon. So, Order confirmation email came on same day (23rd Dec).
After 3 days, I received an email that the order is canceled with below reason. "We regret to inform you that the merchants have been unable to obtain the following item(s)." I thought, ok maybe product is not available or damaged and so the delivery got canceled but when I checked in amazon.co.in, product is still available with increased price. I contacted customer care and asked to book it as the order was placed during offer period but it was suggested to book it again with the available price. Conclusion: So I say, Amazon is not trustworthy and should be ashamed for what they did. Without my consent Amazon canceled my order and they got to keep my paid money for few days. I say if you don't even have real-time data in your website then you are the worst of worst in Online shopping business.

I ordered a watch for a gift for one of my sons 8 days before Christmas on the premise that it would be delivered by Dec. 24th. Dec. 24th came and went and it was not delivered. So one son got a gift and one did not. Would I have ordered it knowing that it wouldn't be delivered until Dec. 27th? No. Would I have just gone to a local store and bought it? Yes. Folks, seriously do not order from Amazon if it is an important gift expected at a certain date. I have learned this the hard way!

I've been a Prime member for 5 years and their customer service is getting worse and worse. I order Christmas gifts because I work in healthcare and our schedules are awful this time of year and I understand the demand and schedules of people ordering and delivery this time of year. But if you tell me it's going to delivered 12/20/18 and you send me an email on the 21st that you’re sorry something went wrong and my order won't be here till 12/27/18 obviously after Christmas and now I don't even have time to get it somewhere else and it didn't even shop till 12/24/18 but your customer service won't change the shipping address to the person it goes to then you should understand how upset people get. I wish that was the only package but it's not by far. Today a present for 1 of the kids was suppose to arrive by 8pm 12-26-18 and now it changed after 8pm till it may arrive 12/27/18 or up to 1/1/19. Omg seriously.

The nightmare of purchasing and being mislead has made my head spin like a rat in a wheel. 1st they do not honor their a-z, as stated. They jump the gun on resolutions but then state they can’t do anything without a supervisor, once the third party seller is contacted. 2ndly the supervisor is clearing reading from a script or talking to someone else. They’ll place you on hold and transfer you over and over again in both chat and phone conversations when you are asking questions. By far the worst experience ever!!! I’ve been a Prime member since 2014 and I’m seriously thinking about looking at other avenues to shop online, NOT linked to Amazon or any third party sellers. Be very cautious when placing orders with them.

I suspect that Amazon used TNCs (Uber, Lyft, etc.) as a means of delivery for the holiday season. For the first time, packages could not be delivered to an address where I've received 100s of packages and my shipments were returned and labeled "un-deliverable to address" - I suspect it was because the driver(s) could not find a place to park. This happened on 2 orders placed on Dec. 14 with a guaranteed shipment date given of Dec. 17 - plenty of time to be Christmas gifts! I wasn't contacted with the "un-deliverable with refund" notification until Friday evening, Dec. 21 - up to that point, tracking the items showed "in transit".
Early Saturday morning, Dec. 22, I could see both items were still in stock - I placed my orders (with a different shipping address), paid the extra for "guaranteed" shipping by Sunday, Dec. 23 at 8 pm - which came & went - no delivery. Notification came Monday morning that the items would be delivered by 9 pm that night! One of those gifts was for an exchange that day. I held on to hope that they might arrive in time and luckily they did (just after 3 pm with a houseful of guests) - however, Amazon had no intention of refunding my paid for shipping by the "guaranteed" date of Sunday, Dec. 23 at 8 pm and I had to fight for that today.
It wasn't the $$$ part that bothered me so much but all the other factors, the upset it created and the feeling that there seems to be lack of consideration for their customers. I agree with another reviewer who made the comment about Amazon getting too big to care about their customers - we whose back they owe a lot to for their success! It's a shame!

Christmas came, and I didn't even received a tracking number for the new order, I was so frustrated with this kind of service in which they like to promise and promise but fails and fails! They don't care about customers! Definitely I'm thinking about cancel my Prime membership and my credit card with them.

I’ve been using Amazon for 19 years and I swear by it. I’ve probably ordered well over a thousand items and my satisfaction rate is something like 98%. I certainly do my research by comparing prices with other online retailers and will use another retailer when their prices are cheaper. I rarely have a problem with the purchased product but when I do it always gets resolved. They also do a great job with inventory. I used a couple other online retailers, purchasing (supposedly in stock) items with guaranteed Christmas deliveries only to have my order cancelled right before Christmas as the item was out of stock. This has never happened with Amazon.
My only real complaint is with Amazon’s online reviews. Many of them are complete garbage, giving 5 star ratings on junk products. I’ve learned how to spot this and can now work around it; but I was duped a few times before I figured it out. Additionally purchasing from Amazon 3rd party sellers can sometimes present problems. Research their return policy before buying. Amazon’s return policy has always been fair and I’ve never had a problem. I’m also a Prime customer, so not only do I enjoy swift delivery but I get Prime video and music which I enjoy tremendously. I think as consumers we all need to do our homework; and while Amazon is not perfect; it has worked near enough to perfect for me.

I originally ordered 4 ornaments for my grandchildren Dec. 14th. All were in stock when ORDERED but never received a confirmation email. When they didn't ship after 3 days, called customer service - rep said they were shipped BUT THEY WERE NOT! After 2 MORE DAYS I called again & again they said order shipped - they did not! Asked for a supervisor (Lexy) who first said they shipped but When I said I knew they didn't ship, the Supervisor STILL INSISTED they were shipped! I called AGAIN, asked for supervisor (Kelvin) who told me they were out of stock since Dec 14 when I placed the order! So why did two reps and Sup Lexy tell me they were shipped - that was IMPOSSIBLE since they were out of stock!
So Sup Edwin was wonderful - helped me reorder 3 ORNAMENTS to ship overnight. 2 days passed - no shipping of order! Called again. 3rd supervisor said ONE ITEM WAS OUT OF STOCK and holding up the other 3 ornaments THAT WERE AT THE WAREHOUSE READY TO SHIP W/ SHIPPING LABEL CREATED. I re-ordered the 1 item a 2nd time (no ornament available & I was desperate so I ordered a S&P to replace the already replaced S&P shaker. Again, not shipping! Called & got a 4th supervisor (Tyler?) who said the S&P shakers were out of stock & holding up the 3 ornaments that were already at the warehouse ready to ship/had a shipping label. So I reordered the shakers (originally it was an ornament I ordered, had to switch to the shakers since NO ornament in my style available & now I had to change it a 3RD TIME to a game!)
Next day the game along with 2 ornaments shipped...BUT NOT THE 3RD ORNAMENT that was supposedly with the other 2 ornaments ready to ship. This was ridiculous at this point! Yep, called again & got a 5th supervisor (Anne?) who kindly explained that ornament was apparently at another warehouse and had a shipping label for 2 or 3 days now so she didn't know why it hadn't shipped. She hoped it would ship the next day... NOPE!
Now we're at Dec 23 and still not shipped! I called and got a 6TH supervisor (PAULA) who said if Amazon promised it to arrive by Dec 24 then it would & for me to stop worrying! Huh? I explained these 4 items were for my grandkids from Santa & I originally ordered them on Dec 14 w/ 1 day shipping and STILL this hadn't shipped. (I explained to ALL supervisors, these are important to arrive before Christmas because they were for my grandkids from Santa so this was why I was so worried with all the re-ordering and this one had been sitting in a warehouse w/ a shipping label ready to ship for 3 days now.) Paula again told me they WILL be here by the end of the next day, the 24TH, as promised and then she hung up on me!
Well guess what? On Dec. 24 - the day it was promised - I got an email from Amazon saying it was stuck somewhere during shipping & 'sorry' it wouldn't be here until Dec 25-27th & if I didn't get it by Fri the 28th to call Amazon to help. Seriously? I already called them 6 times and the problem still wasn't fixed! So 'Paula' who insisted I was worrying for nothing was wrong - there was a problem w/ this ornament shipping just like I told her but she refused to do anything to find out what the problem was!
Come Christmas morning today, my grandchild was indeed upset that Santa would be 'late'! She was in tears despite my efforts to explain Santa would still bring her gift! But I was devastated for her - my heart was in my stomach! (Btw, I also explained to all 6 supervisors that I have bilateral knee crps so I couldn't physically simply go find something at the store - I had to depend on ordering online for shipment to my home!). I was furious with Amazon for doing this to a child on Christmas - from Santa nonetheless!
So for the 7th time I contacted Amazon - this time by chat because I was so upset/angry & I didn't want to be rude to customer service since it isn't the rep's fault! He said he'd put a 'rush' on finding the ornament...but it was already too late! Damage was done since sup Paula didn't go this to begin with! He (Pakjah) asked what could he do to 'fix' this. I knew he couldn't really fix it since it was Christmas/grandchild already in tears! So I asked for all this to be reported to someone higher up in Amazon to make sure this won't happen again to another child - NO EXCUSE FOR THIS ORNAMENT NOT TO HAVE ARRIVED BY DEC 24TH WHEN ORDERED ON DEC 14TH W/ TWO DAY SHIPPING. Then changed to 1 day & still didn't arrive on time & thru no fault of my own!
I did my part contacting Amazon - 2 Customer reps, 6 supervisors and now one rep by chat! Amazon seriously messed up by not telling me the truth from the start on Dec 14th! Had I known they weren't in stock I would have ordered elsewhere! Then I said it would be nice to compensate my grandchild. He meant well by putting $10 on my account for my grandchild but it has to be used only on items sold/shipped by Amazon! Very difficult trying to find something for a child for that amount to begin with (I paid more than that for the ornament!) Plus it had to be sold/shipped by Amazon! Which means I will have to pay even more to find an item sold/shipped from Amazon when I already had to pay an additional $25+ from the original order cost to find items in stock that could be shipped overnight to begin with!
As if that $10 seriously would compensate a child who believes in Santa being so disillusioned because of Amazon's mistakes & refusal to listen to me that something was wrong with the ornament sitting in the warehouse for three days 'ready to ship' but didn't! I still don't even know if the ornament will even get here! This is one of the worst things Amazon could do to a customer and a child! I appreciate it but $10 will not compensate my granddaughter’s disillusion in Santa or me ever trusting Amazon again!

We ordered a watch from Amazon in online and received a box without watch inside it. The ordered package doesn't contain the watch and the delivered guy doesn't even care about this when we reported it to him, he just asked us to contact customer care, never expected this from Amazon. Can't believe this is done by Amazon.
Also there was some problem with the otp that was sent to us due to this the product was not delivered the first time he came to deliver and second time he came again the same problem occurred and with the otp received. He was not able to confirm so he called someone on the phone in front of me and asked for otp and immediately he delivered the package and went away. On telling him about the package not containing the watch he asked us to contact customer care. Customer care is asking 5 days for investigation and asking us to wait for 5 days for no mistake from our side.

I ordered an item on December 12 and it hasn't moved in transit since the item was picked up. This is a $430 item and it is a Christmas gift. Since Christmas is approaching, I went on their online chat to ask them where my item is and if I'll be receiving it. A useless foreigner said she would refund the item since it is lost, then she changed her mind and said "we have to pass this on to the investigation team" after a copy-paste message stating she would help immediately and this is not what our customers should experience. She transferred me over to another foreigner who said there's nothing they could do to help me and I would have to file a police report.
I had a third foreigner email me stating that I have to contact Canada Post and instruct them to deliver my package. I paid over $400 and they're instructing me? I finally got someone who spoke English to help me out and he replaced my purchase. A word of advice: If this happens to you, immediately call your bank and give them the transaction details and the tracking number so you can file a dispute against them. Do not waste your time with customer service because you are talking to foreign robots who accuse you of theft. I only wasted my time fighting with them because I paid with a gift card.

I can understand how wonderful Amazon would be if you lived in a rural community, but I live a block from the Magnificent Mile in Chicago and have a banquet of shopping at my fingertips. I used Amazon to take advantage of their 'free shipping' for my Christmas gifts to family across country. My order was placed well in advance of the required business days to qualify for free shipping and arrive before Christmas. Amazon's 3rd-party-vendor wouldn't ship on time. An Amazon agent on the phone suggested I cancel the order then re-order the gifts paying for 'express shipment'. If I had to pay for shipping, I could have easily purchased the gifts within walking distance of my home, wrapped them myself, and walked them to the nearby post office. I'm glad Amazon didn't pick Chicago for their second headquarters; I don't want their employees' mentality germinating in our city.

I paid $39.92 for one-day shipping for an order placed on 12/19/18. All but 3 of the items were in stock and advertised as "Prime." The next day, when I checked for status of the shipping, I noted that several of the items were schedule to arrive AFTER Christmas and well beyond 2 days. I went into the order and attempted to change the shipping method on JUST those items coming after Christmas. However, there was no way to differentiate which items in the order I wanted to change the shipping for, so inadvertently, ALL the items shipping changed to next day.
NOWHERE was I told of the extra charge involved. I didn't notice I was charged more for changing the shipping until I saw my credit charge and then looked at the invoice. Being that all of the items (except 3 items I knew were on pre-order) were available and advertised as "Prime, 2-day shipping", the expectation was that the available items would all arrive in 2 days, on 12/21 (even 3 days, on 12/22 would have been acceptable). I should not have had to upgrade the shipping at all!
On top of all of this, even after "upgrading" the shipping to next day, STILL the items are not arriving for several days. So on top of paying for a Prime membership, I was charged close to $40 for shipping AND still don't expect to receive the items (all sold by Amazon.com Services, Inc directly I should add) until 4 days after the orders processed. Amazon's Prime shipping promises are misleading and dishonest if you ask me.

We called to check on the delivery and was told it would arrive in the afternoon. It didn't. Called again later in the day and was told that the item never made it on the truck and would be delivered the next day. I asked to speak to a supervisor because this was unacceptable. My cat was hospitalized and discharged on Friday. He had to have his medicine on Friday. We were guaranteed that this item would be delivered Friday. The customer service rep that I spoke with transferred the call back to basic customer service. Again I was on hold waiting to speak to someone who could connect me to a supervisor.
When I finally got connected to the Supervisor I was told that the item was lost and that I would have to reorder it and if they had it it would take a few days to deliver. If I was told this information earlier when I first called I could have looked for other alternatives to get this necessary item. My experience was that the basic customer service representatives were completely inept. They should have known when I first called about the delivery that the item was lost. By this time it was 10 pm and my husband had to go to the animal hospital to borrow a delivery chamber so our cat could get his inhalation therapy. I don't understand why Amazon didn't let me know that my order was not going to be delivered as guaranteed. Now I know guaranteed delivery does NOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY.

I am an Amazon Prime member and have been for some time. Amazon is great until you need customer service. Expect to end up talking to someone who DOES NOT clearly speak or understand English.

I have asked to speak to someone else who can understand English only to be transferred to yet another person who neither listens nor understands English.
Very honestly Amazon's customer service is some of the absolute worst I have ever experienced. Do not trust them when they tell you that you will receive your Amazon Prime order within 2 days.

Then today I have seen two of the same Amazon Prime delivery Vans speeding down my street where the speed limit is only 15 mph because I live right by a school. For the past two weeks I have seen them speeding, rolling through stop signs, and squealing tires pulling out of apartment complexes. I understand they have packages to deliver but someone's fire tablet isn't worth running a child over in the street because they couldnt stop soon enough.

I received an item from Amazon, but it wasn't the one I ordered. Similar, but not the same. The item didn't have the option to return it, so I had to email them. When I did, they sent me to the seller. So, I e-mailed the seller. When I let the seller know the issue, they informed me that they ship bulk shipments to Amazon who then packages them, and that the issue was actually Amazon's fault, but they would give me a $10 gift card for the trouble, because Amazon wouldn't allow a full refund back to me. I immediately went to the product to leave a review and was notified that I was no longer able to review items.
So, I e-mailed Amazon again and they got back to me stating my ability to review was removed because, "-- Elements of your account indicate a relationship to sellers, publishers, or other reviewers of the products you review. Your reviews were posted in exchange for compensation, such as gift cards to purchase the product, product refunds, review swaps, or free or discounted products. You requested free or discounted products in exchange for reviews."
None of the above actually happened, however a third party seller who uses Amazon was trying to right a wrong that Amazon was to blame for. I'm actually surprised that Amazon is behaving in this way; they mess up, someone else fixes it and then they run and hide (turn off reviews) because they must be afraid that someone would share the truth. I am highly dissatisfied in their behavior.

I have been an Amazon Kindle book buyer for years, but recently started buying items from Amazon, only because some things are not available in stores in Canada but are available on Amazon.ca. On Dec. 16, I ordered an item I needed for Christmas and joined Prime because it said I would get the item in two days. Amazon changed my order to standard shipping twice, and when I changed it back to Prime the first time they changed it, they said the order would take LONGER to get here. After one phone call and two online chats, I learned that the system itself changed it to standard. So why would anyone pay for Prime? I still don't have the item on Dec. 20 and tracking shows it not even shipped, but coming by 8 p.m. on the 21st. I will believe it if I see it.

Purchased a product for my vehicle on Amazon site. Item arrived on schedule, but due to no packing in the box, 2 of the 4 pieces were cracked. I looked up the 3rd-party seller's info online and tried to call them during their published business hours (3 times). Each call went to vmail, which I eventually left a message on the 3rd try. Then contacted Amazon cust service and got an offshore rep that I could hardly understand and could barely hear with all the background noise. Finally got the issue communicated and was told I would hear something w/in 24 to 48 hours (got an email to that effect as well). 48hrs goes by and nothing. Call cust service again and get offshore rep. Explained entire issue again (don't they put notes in the file?). He tried to tell me to wait 24 to 48 hrs (I already explained that we had done that).
When I say I am not going to do that a 2nd time, he says he will transfer me to supervisor. Offshore Supervisor answers (can't understand, can hardly hear with all the noise) and has no clue about why we are talking. I explain entire thing for the 3rd time, and guess what; she starts to tell me about the 24 to 48 hr thing again! She then tries to call 3rd party seller (during their business hours) and goes to vmail, but now the mailbox is full and she can't leave a message. Having had enough, I ask where she is, she says "Central America", and I ask for a US supervisor.
After more waiting I at last get to someone I can understand and hear clearly... Hallelujah! A dispute has now been opened and a refund may take 1 to 2 weeks (ridiculous). My recommendations based on this experience: 1. Ask for US rep immediately (understandable English, no background noise, not reading from a script). 2. Do not us an Amazon card, use your VISA/MasterCard/whatever -> this way you can dispute payment with them and get charge reversed instantly while Amazon slow-walks your issue.

After my Prime delivery was labeled as “Delivery Attempt Unsuccessful” I decided to use the chat feature within my app to see what went wrong. It’s getting close to Christmas and I wanted to be sure the next delivery attempt would be a successful one. I tried chatting with a representative and endured through 10-minutes of wasted time, while asking for help from a horribly incompetent representative who was not capable of answering my questions. After receiving no help, I called the customer support line. I asked when my next delivery attempt would be. I was told the next day at the same time as the first attempt. I figure if the first carrier couldn’t figure out how to drop a package off in an unlocked package room once, it’s likely I would have the same issue twice. I was coldly told that the time cannot be changed without any other option presented.
Totally fine, but much like the chat agent, the phone representative kept asking for my access code so that they could change it. Yeah, not a likely solution as the access code was correct the first time and the package room does not require an access code as it is currently unlocked and very easy to access. I kept asking if I was doing something wrong, and that I was concerned it would happen again. I received no empathy, no care, no solution. Nothing but a crummy 5-minute phone call that left me disappointed and less likely to trust Amazon with future orders such as the precious ones for my family and friends at Christmas. I’ve worked in customer service all of my life and usually I am very easy going, but this experience would be upsetting to anyone. Super displeased!

Amazon customer service is not what it used to be. I've had multiple issues with late deliveries with Prime (Prime 2-day shipping does not mean it will be delivered in two days anymore - sometimes 5 or more). It took multiple times contacting them to resolve these issues but they never address the root cause. Recently now I've found that prices they show on their page increase when you get to the cart. You think you're getting a good deal but then they try to get a little more out of unsuspecting customers. I'm only talking about a $1.50 difference but the point is that they falsely show the price on their website. I've tried to get customer service to at least acknowledge the issue but not only did they not acknowledge the issue, they didn't even offer the $1.50 difference (which would have probably satisfied me if they had credited me $1.50 during my first contact with them).
Now I've contacted them more than 5 times to try to give them a chance to resolve the issue and they have only pointed fingers at their vendor. Not being happy with this, I tried to post a critical review in hopes that they would see that and know that I was serious about being disappointed but they blocked my review even though it was within review policy guidelines. It seems to me that they are really trying to hide something here. I guess the point is that I could always trust Amazon Customer Service to make something right so I would always trust Amazon first when ordering something online. Now they've lost my trust and I'm going to search for alternatives to buying items on Amazon.

As a result, we have suppressed all of your reviews, and you will no longer be able to post reviews on Amazon.com. Why is this happening? Customer reviews are meant to provide unbiased product feedback to help customers make informed purchase decisions. Our goal is to provide Customer Reviews to help customers make informed purchase decisions. Any reviews that could be viewed as advertising, promotional, or biased will not be posted.
Your community privileges may have been revoked for one or more of the following reasons: Elements of your account indicate a relationship to sellers, publishers, or other reviewers of the products you review. Your reviews were posted in exchange for compensation, such as gift cards to purchase the product, product refunds, review swaps, or free or discounted products. You requested free or discounted products in exchange for reviews."
When a customer asks you why the system stop him or her from posting reviews, please do not copy and paste the same general answer repeatedly. I do have name to be addressed and reasons need to be explained. Or you simply have to say "Sorry, please do not accept too much positive reviews cause most of four-star-and-above products are not they supposed to be."
A lot of people do BSs stuff for their advantages on Amazon, such as getting discount or free products on return by giving biased or promotional reviews or just to complain on a good product , but I don't do that. You can check my account to see if I did ever return any product (even it was defective) or receive any kinds on discounts on my purchases. NO, I never did have the time to do that. More importantly, if you think I am being a visitor who can only stay temporarily can benefit a lot from doing those things, you are wrong again.
Therefore, please answer my inquiry appropriately when I ask you and stop being as an automatic answering machine cause the sale department is very quick to take my money every time I order. Amazon, please provide your review moderators a proper training before allowing them to sit in front of the computer screen. PS: Too bad that I have to put one star in order to post this review.

I have been a Prime member for several years and I order a lot from Amazon. It is my number one "go to" when I need anything. Over the years a total of 3 packages have been lost or delayed. This is not a problem as life happens. However, in the last 2 months, 5 packages have gone missing. I am spending more time dealing with getting refunds or replacements than I am in actual ordering. I have not moved. I have lived in the same place for 12 years, so they cannot tell me that they cannot find me. All I can assume is that they have begun using some unreliable shipping methods. What good does Prime do me if 1/3 of the things I order get to me late or never arrive?

I ordered a Stethoscope and a Blood Pressure cuff. The 8th of December it said delivered however, I did not get anything. I messaged them and they said it was mistagged and should be delivered by Monday. Monday the 10th of December, no package. I messaged them. They said they need to do an investigation that would take 72 hours so I should contact them today (Friday the 14th.) Well... I contacted them and all they could tell me was the following:
"Amazon.com is not able to resolve shipping problems after delivery, as outlined online in our Conditions of Use, noted under 'Risk of Loss' which states: "All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract". This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. We advise you to contact USPS as well as your local authorities if necessary in order to pursue this matter further. We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace, in the future to avoid further problems.
"If the issue isn't resolved after contacting local law enforcement and the carrier, please contact us with the URL to the online police report regarding this incident or a police report number regarding this incident and the name of the related police department. Without the police report, we're unable to take further action." So they had me from Saturday to now Friday just so they can cut and paste some regurgitated BS. Throughout the week I've gone through Snarky comments from members of the Chat Team, Miscommunication and broken promises. Amazon used to have such great customer service and they actually used to solve your issues. I don't what has become of them now.

I recently received a damaged product which I'd ordered from Amazon Prime. The product - a club chair - arrived in a woefully inadequate box, and there was damage to the chair. I received a replacement chair no problem and was given instructions for returning the damaged chair. I took the 40 lb chair in the replacement original packaging to my local UPS shipping agent. I was told they couldn't process the QR code I was given by Amazon and had to haul the chair to the nearest corporate UPS store. That store is 20 miles from my home - in rural communities, there aren't UPS corporate stores on every block. My question for Amazon is why they've instigated this process for returns? Why can't customers print the return shipping labels and take the returns to the nearest UPS shipping agent? I asked my local shipping agent that question and was told this was being forced by Amazon… Doesn't seem particularly customer-friendly to me.

Card details updated on Amazon account with other orders but these details were not updated on that order automatically. Therefore when item was in stock and due to be dispatched card declined due to now out of date card. Price now doubled and item out of stock until end of January. Amazon won't honour previous order.

Customer service was horrible and getting "PRIME" is useless! I ordered an expensive ring under Amazon Prime. I received a complete different ring. It took a VERY LONG TIME to get a hold of anyone, when I finally did, I requested to expedite the shipping process so I can get my money back. Customer service was sarcastic and kept transferring me left and right, their response was that I have wait couple weeks for them to get the ring back then wait for them to inspect the ring, then wait a response. That makes no sense! How can they inspect the wrong item? They should have inspected the item before they sent it. I asked many times to speak with a manager, they said that managers wouldn't want to speak to me at all. Amazon is worth millions! And they can't expedite a return that they messed up on?

On Black Friday I bought an electric toothbrush from Amazon.co.uk for 89.95 pounds. However, during the ordering process the price changed to 92.30 pounds. As it was late and I did not want to lose the offer, I just took screenshots of this changing price and proceeded with the order, thinking that I could contact customer service later to resolve this (and it was just a few pounds anyway, I was still saving a lot with the offer...).
Anyway, I then wanted to contact customer service via chat or email. As the chat did not work on my laptop at first, I started the chat via the Amazon app on my phone. However, there is only a bot. So I explained the issue with the price and the bot said that Amazon does not refund money after the order has been completed. So I requested to speak to a human, however, I was just stuck in a loop of the bot asking me to describe the issue. That is why I tried my laptop again and this time, the chat was working. However, the person could not find the order I was talking about as there were issues with my account. They then just said that they will forward the issue with my account to their specialists and that I will get an email. No word about the price issue.
So then I went back to the chat on my app. I requested to speak to a human again, without any luck. As I heard once that if you start swearing while chatting with a bot, you will be connected to a human automatically, I tried that. While I was not connected to a human, I was asked if I wanted to be called by them. So then I was finally talking to a human. I explained the issue and the customer service agent tried to tell me that this change is because of the 17 something pounds VAT. I told them that that does not make sense and sent them the screenshots of the issue. (This was after 30 minutes of being on the phone with them, and them not talking for most of the time; I assume that they were busy with chats...).
Anyway, after a further 20 minutes the agent finally said that they can refund me the 2.35 pounds. While I actually didn't care about the money, it was at least something. I told them that I want the money to be transferred back to my account. I now received an email saying that they will refund me 92.20 pounds, once they receive the item (notice how it is not even 92.30...). I am not sure if that is just an automatic email and I will still get the money or if the agent did not understand me or if there are ongoing technical issue with this... This was a very frustrating experience and I am wondering how often such subtle price changes happen and how much money Amazon gets from this...

This is the most bizarre service I have received from any online Company til date. They have simply stolen my Money and they are least bothered now. I have ordered 2 phone (Redmi Pro 6) from Amazon on 01 December. The courier person handed over the box to one of my family members at home and took the OTP from me. Since a courier boy is only supposed to drop the parcel and replacement/refund always needs to be done directly with the company there was no point that I cross checked the parcel before giving away the OTP. When I opened the box I found only one phone where as I receive bill for 2 phones.
I immediately contacted Amazon customer care services who confirmed that only one box was delivered which contains both the phones. I contacted customer care services and they asked me to drop a mail and wait for a week. I showed the images of box received and I clearly told them that 2 mobile phone along with boxes cannot be packed in such small box with mentioned wait of 0.45 kgs on the box. Single mobile phone weight along with box is close to 0.40 kgs so obviously the box cannot contain 2 mobile phones.
To my utter surprise, nobody bothered to revert back on that and they simply reverted we have checked and we are not going to give you any refund or replacement. Surely it can be a possibility that I might be lying but then the box sent by Amazon does not have the space to contain 2 mobile phones so how can they do it. How can a box of 0.45 kgs (mentioned on the box) contains two mobile phones of weight 0.40 kgs (with box). I am going to take these scammers and fraud people to court and file legal case against them as I have all the proofs with me. I have myself worked in an online MNC and I can never imagine such pathetic behavior and response with an intent to completely steal my Money... Beware everyone, think twice before you purchase anything from them.

No order delivered despite a sign on my door that says leave packages without signature. No note from the delivery person they attempted either which is standard. Amazon has not assisted in getting this fixed and it is refusing to refund my order until the items are returned. I should not have to wait for the return of an order that they are holding up with a signature needed requirement. No one orders from Amazon because they want to be home to deal with a delivery driver. It's not longer convenient and customer service is now chat or phone.

I have used Amazon countless times for many years with great success. In the past six months, they have lost multiple shipments that I needed by a specific date, and could only provide a refund when customer service was contacted not locate or resend my items. I needed these items, hence ordering them using Prime. When I expressed my concern over the multiple incidents they had no response. Apparently, they are growing too large too fast to manage their own products and shipments. This will cause me to be very hesitant to use them moving forward for anything I need in a timely manner.

The next person said that the supervisor said there was nothing they could do about the mix-up but give me a refund and return shipping label.
They acted like I wanted to keep the Sonic Tails they sent when I told them from the beginning my son already had that one and this was part of his Christmas and that I would send the other back.

After the fifth time having a package be late and/or lost, I just canceled my Prime subscription. Customer service representatives are often inaccurate at best, blatantly lying at worst. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but I recall their customer service being much better in the past. One time, one of my packages was late and a representative gave me a full month of Prime for free. Now, they barely say sorry and tell you there is "nothing they can do" before getting rid of you as quickly as possible. If your packages is shipped with Amazon Logistics (AMZ), it is sure to be late or get lost. I've stopped even hoping that my packages will get to me on time, and now just pray they won't get lost in the mail or that my office building (in the middle of a busy city, with a receptionist at the door) won't be classified as "undeliverable".
Contacting anyone about late packages is a lost cause - you'll get four separate answers from three different customer service representatives, all of them assuring you not to worry, while your package disappears into the ether. Packages are often wrong (I just received a dress today that was completely different from the one I ordered - it wasn't even the same brand), and returning them is more of a hassle then it's worth. Just be careful when you are ordering from Amazon and be ready for delays, multiple conversations with multiple customer service reps, and packages that don't resemble anything you've ordered.

Just wanted to share my experience so other users do not place too much faith in the information provided by the customer support team. On 13/10/2018 I had purchased the One Plus 6 phone on a "no cost EMI" and I had called up Amazon call center to reconfirm if there are any hidden charges or if bank would bill any charges for the 3 months EMI to which the representative informed me that the order amount is the only amount and bank will not charge me any other charges and in case if bank does that Amazon will reverse those charges.
After a month when I checked my bank statement to pay the EMI I noticed additional charges of Rs.806.86/- and when I informed Amazon to reverse those charges they tell me that bank has the right to charge for the transactions undertaken on EMI. If this is true why was I given wrong information at the time of purchase. And why should I be paying charges for the mistake of the call center representatives.
Today when speaking to the other customer support representative, I get no support to my issue or reversal of these charges and without even accepting their error they say, "You should check with your bank before making such EMI purchases." Even after I asked them to hear the recording of the representative on 13/10/18 of the wrong information provided they did not accept their error. Why should Amazon lure the customers with such misleading information of no cost EMI, when there are additional charges. I'm expecting a positive revert to this issue.

Customer Service's only response was for me to order the item again with the most expensive shipping and they would refund me the shipping charge. He would put in a request to avoid Amazon Logistics, but could not guarantee it. So I would have to pay $130 up front, then wait for a refund of $75 (original order + new shipping) to get my $55 item, if it wasn't "undeliverable" again.

I received a delivery notification that my order was handed to me, but it wasn’t. I called Amazon, they called courier who said it was in my mailbox. I checked the mailbox before I called & again while on hold, nothing there. Amazon said nothing they can do since it’s a 3rd party seller. Don’t buy from Amazon unless you’re ok with spending money & getting nothing for it.

Amazon customer service is not good at all. Had very bad experience all week because they won't send my items on time and they gave a false $100 promotional and didn't do nothing about the situation except it was a mistake on their end. Wouldn't recommend no one to shop on their site. It's not even worth it.

Second time in a few months that I have ordered through Prime and promised two day service. At the end of the second day after patiently waiting, tracking changes from "Out for Delivery" to "Carrier Delay", package will delivered within 3 to 5 days. Promise two day delivery is a myth, an advertising slogan with no credibility. Just book the order, take the credit card and deal with it when it makes $$$ sense to send. They use their own tracking system, so they can say whatever they want and send the package at their convenience. They are so big, they can get away with anything. Nothing is about the customer, it's all about them! At least eBay uses a USPS number that can be honestly traced.

I have been a Amazon customer for 6 years with little complaints. However, it seems like most large companies once they get too big they start treating their customers horribly. I called Amazon to cancel a order of a tv center. With the response of “We are not able to cancel the item due to it getting prepared for shipment. However, it shows the item does NOT yet have a Carrier to ship your item. Unfortunately, we are not able to contact the Amazon Fulfillment center to tell them to cancel the item. And that there is nothing anyone here at Amazon can do for you.” In result I had to delete my account with Amazon in order to cancel the order since they have not yet taken payment nor shipped the item. My family and I have turned to the Walmart apps such as Walmart Grocery, Walmart Money Center & the main Walmart app itself. Found majority of items on Amazon are around the same price and they are extremely attentive to their consumers!

I am a very frequent Amazon Prime shopper. However in the past two months, over 75% of my deliveries have been late beyond the guaranteed delivery date. When contact customer service they are apologetic and occasionally offer me a $5 Prime credit and empty promises to escalate the problem so it doesn't happen again. But their Prime delivery "guarantee" I've learned, is basically meaningless. Another big problem I've had with Amazon lately is new items I order come used! The boxes are clearly reused, and items are not in original packaging. Then Amazon insists they are new items even though they are very clearly not.

I'm the lucky one – my purchase event resulted in buying an item direct from the manufacturer, so I'm not trapped in the zone of battling with Amazon over payments or delivery problems. Here's the meat of the story: It's December 2018. Amazon wants to attract more shoppers this year, so they offer thru December 2018 "...free shipping to all customers this holiday season, starting Monday." Amazon didn't say when the promotion would end but described the duration as "limited." It marks the first time in recent memory Amazon has removed the minimum order requirement for its free super-saver shipping tier." (Source: Business Insider.com, 11/05/18).
So I'm wanting a simple pedometer, and find one at Amazon for “$9.47 & FREE Shipping” is in its description. But Uh-Oh, “Add-On Item” is also part of the description, which apparently means I can't buy just this simple and desirable pedometer because – is it too cheap to allow me to buy as a stand-alone item? Then I looked at other Amazon-sourced pedometers, and found one for $5.71 & FREE Shipping and because it's not an “Add-On Item”, I can buy it, stand-alone. But I don't want this brand or its design, so I went to the manufacturer of the $9.47 (Amazon-priced) item and bought it directly from the manufacturer. Amazon, you are inconsistent with your policies and prices. Savvy consumers do not trust you, so we go elsewhere for our shopping. Adios, Amazon.

If I could give zero stars I would. I was on a Prime free trial and fully ready to commit to actually paying for Prime. A couple of my deliveries had been late but I figured things happen and they got to me in the end, so I was still going to stick with them. Then I placed my most recent order. My product was $28. They say if your total is over $35 it'll qualify for same day delivery. Cool, I think. I don't really need two of that product but it won't hurt to have an extra sitting around. So I order 2. It confirmed delivery for later that day (my order was placed around 4:30am).
Later that day I received a text saying my order was out for delivery. Thanks to OnTrac I was able to actually SEE where the delivery guy was. Only a few streets away, in my city. Awesome, I thought. Then he slowly gets further and further away. My heart sinks as I realize I'm not getting this package that day. I call Amazon and there's nothing they can do. Then after the call I check my order page. Weirdly they lied and updated the status as "customer rescheduled delivery date". When I called back no one could explain why this was done.
However, a transfer to Amazon logistics confirmed what I had feared. My package was somehow "missing". So my guess is that Amazon Logistics is the new Lasership, and some driver swiped my expensive hair product. I hope it was worth it. I promptly got on the phone and told them since they didn't deliver the product I want my money back. The kicker is they send me an email saying "We don't need you to send the item back, you can dispose of it or donate it". Um, Amazon... I NEVER GOT my items!!! Cancelled Prime right away and will never use Amazon again. I will go give my money to brick and mortar retailers. Stay far away from Amazon. Read the reviews, things have gone way downhill with them. I'm not the only one experiencing stuff like this. Live and learn I guess.

I totally agree to what "Jacqui of Post Falls, ID" wrote in the previous review. I have been a Prime member for a few years and a couple or a few weeks ago I discovered where to see my review list, my total reviews, and my helpful votes. I felt good about getting the helpful votes so I started to write more reviews. I find pictures helpful when I choose products so I try to post some too. About two days ago I suddenly found my review and helpful votes became zero and my reviews all disappeared (I could no longer see them). I called customer service which forwarded my matter to another department, and received a template letter saying I violated their whatever policies. They listed a bunch of bullet points in the template letter that I "might have" violated and didn't even care to tell me exactly what they suspect of me or show any shred of evidence.
I find it very disrespectful, creepy, and arrogant. They didn't seem to care about the many sellers and buyers who benefit from my review. Probably their algorithm tells them, "Oh this person is reviewing at a higher frequency recently and it's mostly positive." Well, I don't like to talk bad about people (I do not write bad reviews or bad things about anything very often), and I like to say good things/people/services are good (even though I still write bad reviews occasionally). What's wrong with that? Ironically, a couple years back when I was trying to post one bad review, they wouldn't let me. I called customer service, they still wouldn't let me. It's not like I'm saying unreasonable things. If I recall it right, Amazon messed up the shipping so they didn't let me post the review.
When they suspect my account of something, they didn't attempt to communicate with me at all before wiping everything. After my inquiry, they just told me that my "privilege" to review is taken away. My privilege? Buyers' star-ratings, reviews, questions, and answers is a big asset for them as a seller platform and a seller of their own products. It's one of their competitive advantages against other online seller platforms, and we buyers largely give it to Amazon for free out of our own time and labor. The way they deal with this matter shows arrogance and a lack of appreciation. I think "Jacqui of Post Falls, ID" really put it nicely: "I used to be a big fan of Amazon, but I think they have grown way too big and too fast. In their efforts to get rid of 'fake' reviews, they are hurting all of us by deleting real reviews and blocking whoever they want for no reason... Amazon.com needs competition..."

I called Amazon support and asked about Amazon lockers. The guy told me in order to use them I would have to cancel my order and reorder them. I asked them if it would charge me again and he said it will not and being a loyal customer he would throw in free faster shipping. I was thinking win-win. I told him if it would not charge me again go ahead and cancel and I'll reorder. Once I reordered it he asked me to send him the order number so he could take care of the shipping cost. He returned couple minutes later and told me he was unable to cover the shipping costs! I didn't want to cancel the order again so I just ate the shipping cost, chalked it up to being greedy. I said goodbye and ended the chat after thanking him a lot. Well... I checked my account and it had charged me again for $1500.
I called Amazon back and they said Amazon policy is to not charge until it's shipped and said I had not been charged yet I was mistaken. I called my bank and explained the situation to them and they said because it was still pending they could do nothing. I then called Amazon back and they "researched" the problem and told me to give my bank a code to reverse the charges. I called my bank again and they told me that code means nothing to them and it looked like the code Amazon needed to use to reverse the charges. I called Amazon again and they said all they can see is the 2nd charge and asked me if I could be placed on a brief hold while they researched the issue. She came back approximately 10 minutes later and asked to verify my shipping address. I told her it and she asked if I could get placed on another brief hold. I asked her why and she said so she could do more research into my issue.
I asked her why she placed me on a brief hold before and she told me she was researching before and we went back and forth as to why the brief hold for about 2 minutes. She came back and told me the same code I had previously been given. I asked to speak to her supervisor (I work in hospitality and I don't normally ask for supervisor). This entire time she is uhing and umming, just not very reassuring. Her supervisor comes on the line and he wants to know the issue so I have to explain the entire thing again. He gives me the code again, tells me Amazon doesn't charge until it gets shipped out and I am mistaken about being charged.
At this point it's 3am and I'm getting nowhere with Amazon. I called the next day and the representative apologized for this and says everyone I spoke to last night were wrong. Amazon does charge before it's shipped, they send an authorization for the funds and she will put in the reversal of authorization in right away. Amazon will refund in 2-5 business days. She said she will forward this to have managers and supervisors aware of the huge mistake. Just a horrible time with Amazon customer service. All I got out of it was $10 credit (which I haven't seen) and my packages sent to lockers. For the next 2-5 business days I have zero money and very dissatisfied. You would think with Amazon being a multibillion dollar company they would do more for its customer that brought it to that point. If I could rate this under 1 star I would.

I used to love ordering from Amazon.com, but I think those days are over, now that they’ve started using “Amazon Logistics” (private contractors) for delivery, instead of the more professional and reliable UPS, FedEx and post office. I was notified that my order was out for delivery on Sunday, but nothing arrived. Even though I was home all day and the weather was great, somehow, there was a “carrier delay” with no reason given. Most likely, the driver didn’t feel like delivering it.
Yesterday, a second delivery was supposedly attempted but, alas, the package wasn’t on the truck, according to Adam, the “Amazon Logistics” person who called back after I requested a customer service call via the Amazon app. Today, I found a message in my account that said: “On the way: Delivery attempted. An attempt was made to deliver your package, but the business address was closed because of a Holiday. Please look for a notice of attempted delivery for the next steps.” Um, business address? Holiday? What the what? I was told by Adam that I couldn’t report it as lost until after midnight tonight, which is less than 3 hours away. Do they really think someone might deliver it at 9:30 p.m.? But, no, I’ll have waste more time to call back in the morning and report it lost.
I decided to try calling the toll-free customer service number to see if I could get better service. I was connected to Warren, also an Amazon Logistics customer service rep, who sounded like he was lazily lounging on his couch, didn’t seem to be able to get even as much info as Adam, and talked to me using a half-broken cell phone that kept crackling and fading in and out. He put a note on my order to ask the carrier to leave the package on the porch. If they ever find it, I guess they might do that. I’m not holding my breath. Long story short, if you order from Amazon and they have implemented Amazon Logistics in your area, good luck, cause you’ll need it. I’m going to look for other sources for the products I used to order from Amazon.

Do NOT pay for Prime! They jacked annual price up and let customer service down. Will not be renewing EVER. We have been Prime members for over 6 years but gone when this year expires. Not a single delivery on time. Worse yet, all day package says package will be delivered until minutes after the cut off then says SORRY!
Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, REI, Target, Kohl’s, ALL have better prices and deliver exactly when they say they will. Used to be worth paying a few extra dollars for quick reliable delivery but those days are long gone. I really needed an item today and could have saved 2.00 at Bed Bath & Beyond but wouldn’t get till Wednesday. Amazon promised it by Tuesday so ordered. Guess when I’m now HOPING to get the item? Thursday or Friday. Could have saved 2.00 and had the item faster. Or better yet, gone and picked it up at Walmart for same price earlier so I wouldn’t need to now redress and leave my home at 9pm! I HATE AMAZON! I will be posting this everywhere I can, then will get dressed and go out after 9pm in the freezing cold.

Ordered an electronic navigation device from Amazon at an agreed upon price. Their site stated that it was in stock and would be delivered shortly. It was never delivered, eventually they canceled my order. All the while the item was still listed as in stock-however at a substantially higher price. THEY MADE AN OFFER AND I ACCEPTED. That is a contract and they failed to fulfill it.

Amazon Prime was once a reliable online service, and you could count on them delivering your order within the window they promised. You cannot count on them at all anymore. In the last 8 items ordered (going back about two weeks -- books, headphones, air filters, air purifiers), no fewer than 6 of them have had delays. Sometimes serious delays. That is simply the most recent cases that I can most quickly access. The pattern has been in place for at least three years, and the problem has been growing worse. I no longer expect them to fulfill their promises. In short, their delivery system has collapsed and cannot be trusted. Order elsewhere if timely delivery is an issue for you. Caveat emptor! To be clear, I've been an Amazon Prime customer for years and was one of their biggest fans. No more. I am seriously considering dropping my Prime status and avoiding the site as much as possible. I would recommend you do the same.

For some reason, all of a sudden, the past month nothing that is delivered by Amazon directly has gotten to me. I order a LOT of stuff online as I am legally blind and cannot drive. I've been an Amazon customer for over 15 years and a Prime member for 10 years. I have talked to Amazon Logistics about this shipping problem numerous times and nothing happens. The drivers keep leaving a note that says they couldn't access my property or attempted delivery but couldn't access the driveway or porch. I live on an open residential street and we have no fence and we are both home most days. This makes no sense, and Amazon cannot seem to fix the problem. One order I expected 5 days ago is STILL lost in the system somewhere--even though 2 different days it said it was on the truck out for delivery. Another order is now 2 days late--these are all Prime orders with 1 or 2 day shipping.
Amazon cannot seem to get their act together with this shipping. I have requested that they put my on my account that I DO NOT want Amazon deliveries--unless as a last resort. THey said they can do this. Not sure I believe anything they say anymore. In the last month almost every order I've placed has been a problem. Get your act together Amazon!! Stop buying new companies until you have the original one under control!

I ordered same day delivery on 3 items. Eventually, a good customer service representative figured out that amazon had handed my items to some random person living in some nearby apartment complexes by looking at GPS. Before that , I had the run around from customer service and from logistics. This was the second time in as many weeks that a same day delivery was many days late. The logistics person revealed to me that drivers sometimes marked things as delivered even when they weren’t. We both agreed that was lying
I waited last weekend for my lost package and returned to the FAQ on the Amazon site Sunday when nothing showed up despite the promises. I returned to Amazon to research my problem. In black and white, Amazon states that They mark items as delivered IN PERSON to a customer despite the fact the actual delivery can take place 36 hours later. Way to boost your same day service numbers. It is one thing to have false advertising, but to admit it online is totally brazen. Go look it up.

God forbid you ever have to try and resolve ANYTHING with Amazon. If so, you will be sorry you ever bought anything through them. As of today I've had my last straw. It pays to look around as now on average you can find many things for equal or lesser price but with 100% better care and service. All their customer service is done through extremely un-knowledgeable call centers in India. Aside from having an order cancelled by Amazon without telling me via email, text, or otherwise, an order I was buying on Cyber Monday to save $300, I was unable to complete the order after no less than 10 calls to multiple levels of support at which point each successively higher "supervisor" took no accountability in resolving the issue. At each time I was more than cordial and was hung up on at least half the amount of times. They cannot for a single instant think outside the box on how to resolve any issue I assume is not typical.
Add to this fact that their delivery service DOES NOT alert you to when any package is actually dropped at your door in the way FedEx or UPS does. You would think the company now run by the richest man on the planet, Jeff Bezos, would have in place a service that texts your phone on delivery. They already have all your other information so why is this even an issue in 2018! I also have to now deal with their delivery service who for whatever reason left my two new 32" monitors in heavy rain when they could have set them 3 feet further ahead under my porch. Again, if I knew they had been delivered I could have also come home instead of allowing them to soak in a downpour for over 4 hours. How's that for quality service? (There is none!)
I also want to point out how crappy the website is. As a web developer I could write a book on how it should be improved. What sticks out the most that others may notice is that reviews posted on any item are often not of the actual item you are looking at but is often filled with very "similar" items and thus being able to get any realistic or fair review can often be misleading and difficult. Also take notice of the hassle to find out which store or business will actually be fulfilling your order as Amazon is most often just a middleman between you and a vendor, where again, you may be able to circumnavigate Amazon and deal directly with the vendor via their own website...which as of now, I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I paid for a year subscription of Amazon Prime which includes 12 months of service (Paid May 14, 2018 through May 13, 2019) and on notated items there is a 2-day delivery selection as part of the Prime agreement if the Prime member chooses it (I did). I purchased the Sony TV on Monday, Nov. 26, 2018 online from Amazon; this product was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. I did not receive the TV at all on the Amazon "Track Package" page which stated "Delivery on Friday, Nov 30, 2018 by 8 PM". Secondly the tracking page had no Tracking Number nor Carrier listed. A tracking page is of no use without a tracking number. The TV was never delivered after my wife and I stayed home Friday, Nov. 30, 2018 from the afternoon until 8:00 PM per the document delivery date on Amazon's own page. My wife and I stayed home on Friday, Nov 30, 2018 solely to receive this Prime item.
I called Amazon on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018 and spoke with a "Michelle". I requested my Prime account to be cancelled DUE TO NON-FULFILLMENT OF THE 2-DAY DELIVERY SELECTION I CHOSE AND POOR NON-FUNCTIONING software which did not have a tracking number nor a carrier and lastly NOT RECEIVING THE ITEM. I called on Monday and spoke with an Amazon employee named "Tashana". She quoted a $5.39 pro-rated Prime refund was credited to my Amazon Visa card for the remaining 5 to 6 months of Prime membership I still was owed. I told her this is absurd.
I cancelled Prime on 12/1/2018 due to Amazon not fulfilling the services I paid for and should have gotten a pro-rated amount for at least January, February, March, April and part of May... and perhaps including December 2018 as well. I was charged $119.00 on May 14, 2018 for one full year of Prime membership - equates to approximately $9.92 per month for each of the 12 months. How does a $5.39 pro-rated amount even come close to being logical since I had only used this Prime membership from May 14, 2018 to Nov 30, 2018?
"Tashana" proceeds to tell me it is Amazon's discretion to pro-rate a refund and secondly once you use Prime services twice... Amazon does not have to refund any amount EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT THIS TV WAS NEVER DELIVERED AND DID NOT MEET THE 2-DAY DELIVERY which pushed me to stop paying for a service I am not receiving. This was not the first time I let the 2-day delivery slide and I did not address it. Amazon may have grown too large to be as professional and honest which was their trademark a decade ago.

First of all, I’d like to say I’ve been a loyal Amazon Prime customer for the past 5 years. I have never had an issue with my packages being delivered when it is delivered via USPS, FedEx, or UPS. However when Amazon uses their own carrier to deliver packages, it either is delayed in transit or not able to be delivered. I am paying a significant amount of money for my packages to be delivered via the Prime service Amazon offers. Since Amazon cannot stand up to their claims of “2-day free prime shipping” then I guess I will cancel my membership. Amazon, you need to get rid of your terrible carrier and keep using USPS, FedEx and UPS if you want to keep your prime customers.

I purchased two items on Amazon.com. At the time of the purchase, the items were listed for $35.95 and $36.23. A week later, they were still listed for that price. However, when I looked at my credit card statement and then at the invoice received with the order, I was charged $51.98 and $41.89. When I contacted Amazon customer service I was told there is nothing they can do and just kept citing price fluctuations due to manufacturer stock. No matter how many times I explained that when I selected "submit order" the lower prices were listed, Amazon would not do anything to help. Apparently, if you order from Amazon, you need to take screenshots of your order to later prove the prices listed on their site. Unfortunately, the purchase was for water filtration replacements and had already been installed, so I could not return the product.

So last Saturday my items didn't arrive, no notice and kept asking Alexa and she says it will arrive today. Then came Sunday I saw it was refunded, wasted my time chatting with Amazon representative. Why? I told them not to cancel and they said Tuesday, I thought originally same day delivery? Also why do they refund right away? What if I'm not checking for the status?

I have been a Prime Member for over 5 years and have never had so many issues with deliveries. Ever since Amazon took over their own shipping, I have had multiple items lost and almost all are now late, past the 2 days guaranteed. When I contact customer service, I will occasionally get a $5 credit "for my troubles," and a "I'm sorry this has happened to you." Most recently, I've had another item lost in transit. I received an email from Amazon this morning informing me that the item had been lost and I needed to contact them to either get a refund or replacement item. So, I did as told and contacted customer service.
Long story short... I can't get a refund until a specialist has reviewed the case. What in the world?! I have NEVER had to have a specialist review anything. I could possibly understand if the item had been marked as delivered and now I'm saying it never was... But Amazon was the one who told ME that it was lost. Why do they have to have a specialist review something they already know? Not to mention the fact that the customer service agents are horrible now. I do NOT want someone to send frowny faces during my chat. I am not their best friend and I'm not 10 years old. My membership will be running out in February and I do NOT intend to renew.

I've been a Prime member for at least 5 years, I was told to reorder the item and Amazon would WAIVE THE SHIPPING! I said I don't pay for shipping, I'm a Prime member, I was told five different times my shipping was going to be waived, and all five times, I said I don't pay for shipping. I even asked if he was reading what I was saying, since he kept saying shipping charges would be waived.
What really got me was his English, several times I looked at my screen because the words were so out of order. I wondered if I was really talking to someone at Amazon. One sentence was "We shipping charges waived will be". Obviously, I asked what he was saying because I couldn't grasp what he was saying. I was transferred 4 different times. I was told I wasn't patient, the item just didn't get shipped, it should arrive in 7-10 business days. When I asked about 2-day shipping, I was transferred.

I've been shopping at Amazon for years. I've been Prime member for 3 years. This year is the last one I will be Prime member. After my Black Friday shopping, I think out of 10 deliveries, only 1 or 2 made it on time. When contacting customer support, they would usually care about the item being late and would try to help me or give me a compensation for my trouble. After a few late deliveries, I'm being told to be patient as it's a busy season and "is there anything else I can do for you?" I asked about guaranteed delivery service and the rep told me it's because of the overload of orders and that it's not under their control. Weirdly enough, I read everywhere that it's a guaranteed concept and they usually give a compensation.
Back in the days, I would have my Prime membership extended of a month whenever I had late deliveries. I always give kudos to Amazon to do this as they basically took ownership and responsibilities of their lateness. Lately, when such things would happen, they would give me a 5$ compensation for my trouble. Now, they just don't seem to care anymore which is a big disappointment. Honestly, the 5$ is nothing... It's purely figurative but at least it shows that they want to make it up to me. But being told I have to be patient and that's it... That's not what Costco would tell me and I'm a member that pays roughly 150$/year for membership. Now, I will simply go back to regular customer for Amazon. With time, others will realize the same thing I did and slowly but surely, Amazon will start to tank like other big retailers who did not care about their customer.
Good luck Amazon in the future. You might be the biggest fish at the moment but time and karma can be a **. ;-) And I believe in Karma. The fact that I took the time to write this waste already enough energy, especially considering the fact that Amazon will never read my review... But if you do, take action as soon as you can. Promoting Amazon at this point will simply confirm and justify that they can now ignore us even if we have trouble with our orders. Don't give them 100$/year for membership. Buy items elsewhere to avoid giving them all of the profit. Even if they price-match the same item, we, as customer, are giving them market share even if they barely make any profit on the item. I'd rather go helping local businesses that do care about my business than Amazon did this 2018 Black Friday.

They even record that merchandise was delivered and it wasn’t. Perhaps to someone else, but not to me! For that reason I will no longer be a customer of Amazon.

I have a couple of sites made up of mostly newer sellers that are willing to offer discounts on their products. You must be approved for the discount though since there are limited quantities available, and the approval process is anonymous!

They claim that I'm offering false reviews in exchange for free products, which is total **! How could I possibly be doing this when the approval process is ANONYMOUS, meaning I have to actually purchase their product before they have any information on me?!
For 2 months now, I've been trying to get this reversed, even sending actual proof that I'm absolutely NOT doing what they are claiming. I couldn't even get anyone to respond to me until I filed a complaint with the BBB. That got their attention but I'm still getting weekly emails telling me they need 3-5 more days for their "specialists" to review my account. You revoked my rating abilities in 1 day, so why would it take more than 2 months to just reverse it?!

Fast forward to today December 1st 2018. I contacted them again and they said that unfortunately the item is out of stock and I would not be able to receive my replacement. I would have to repurchase the Kindle at full price and they would reimburse me the amount once they were able to ship the item. I refuse to do that and asked about getting a refund on the item.
The best that they would do after arguing with them for two hours was a $50 reimbursement. So we had a Kindle for less than eight months that had to be returned four times and end up receiving less than half of the item price. I will never buy another device from Amazon and as of now I'm looking through other websites to find another place to do my shopping.

I placed orders for next day deliver, but 2 - 3 days go by and I still have not received my orders. I just end up cancelling the orders. Why are you promising next day or 2-day delivery if you are not honoring that. Amazon gives you promotional credits to try and compensate you, but you can use it if the product is sold by amazon; issuing the promotional credit is not solving the delivery issue. Wake up amazon.

I recently canceled my Prime membership. The process appeared to go well; I received confirmation of my cancellation and a refund for the current month in which I hadn't used Prime benefits. However, the next month my membership was reopened without my permission and I was charged at the monthly rate. I noticed the fraudulent charge and had to cancel my membership again. I was refunded for this month as well, but this kind of slimy business is indicative of the purportedly customer service focused electronic commerce behemoth. It is no different than stealing. Amazon does not deserve your business.

Poor customer service and they won’t refund me. I receive some energy drinks in the mail today and they were leaking. Busted up. I called and they won’t even do nothing about it. They said, "Sorry too bad," and they won’t even verify my account. My address is wrong. It’s the same address I’ve been using. It’s what I do every product. Very very rude. I will never use Amazon again.

Another member of our household made a purchase through Amazon. Per my previous review on 08/02/18, Amazon has a bunch of random people making their deliveries. Earlier today, there was a loud violent banging on our front door, to the point where it could only be described as aggressive (not "assertive"... AGGRESSIVE). Shocked at the rudeness of the person calling, I went to the front door and opened it within 10 seconds of the knock, and I saw the back of a young man of about 22 all the way down at the curb, jumping into an unmarked white van. Once again, Amazon's "employees" cease to amaze.
Beyond that, I received a VERY forward (aggressive) email saying that I had violated their review guidelines in many of my "recent reviews". I haven't reviewed anything in a while, so this is completely out of nowhere. There was no example provided, no review cited... but basically a random threat to revoke my "privilege" to share my experience of... something. (I'm awaiting a response to my email inquiry for details.) I think they can keep their merchandise this Christmas season... maybe always. I'm not going to give my money to a company that so hates its customers and lacks basic integrity and honor.

I order a lot of things on Amazon, so I figured I'd pay for the Prime membership for the free 2-day shipping. Over the past year, I've gotten at least a dozen late deliveries from Amazon that were promised 2 days. What really grates me is when the item shows that it will be delivered in 2 days, I then buy it and the order detail shows that it won't be delivered for a week or so; this practice is fraudulent since Amazon knows this but won't be upfront about it.
Occasionally, Amazon will - while saying Prime and 2-day delivery - tell you that it will be a day or two beyond that. Just today, Amazon has a delivery estimate of some items I bought 8 days ago (Prime - 2-day!) being delivered by 8 pm this evening. UPS already drove by this evening, so I hopped online and the Amazon site still says delivery by 8 pm tonight.
However, when I go to UPS website and track it, the items were just received in NJ (I'm in NC). I called Amazon to complain and they gave me a $5 credit (whoopee!) and further tell me that they have until Dec. 6th (another week) before I can file for a refund or re-order. REALLY? I've come to the conclusion that ordering from Amazon is NOT going to be my first shopping choice in the future and that Prime membership is a joke... Save your money as I will when I don't re-do it this coming year. Amazon seems to be in freefall as I've seen and heard a number of complaints from my circle of friends.

Several late Prime 2-day shipping orders. Finally fed up after another delay and contacted Amazon customer service through their online chat. Total unaccountability from Amazon even though they agreed promised 2 day delivery. Offered $5 credit on $50 order and wanted to give me phone number for carrier of shipment so I could deal with them further. Are you kidding me?! Don’t ask me to do YOUR job Amazon. You deal with the carrier, you hired them! Even when I spoke with supposedly the top customer service person, I literally had to ask for at least an apology on Amazon’s end, because they had yet to say they were sorry after almost a 30 minute conversation. Ridiculous. Very disappointed in this company I have done business with since they began. Get it together Amazon and stop making shipping promises you can’t deliver.

A few weeks ago, I ordered a battery for my wife's cordless phone. In a couple of days, an envelope arrived and I received notice that the order had been delivered. The envelope was empty! It took an entire afternoon to get a refund. About the same time, I ordered a DVD burner on eBay. (Be patient. This will come back to Amazon.) I received notice that the order was delivered. When I opened the envelope there was no DVD Drive. There was a 10 inch silicone rubber **!
Apparently, eBay uses Amazon as a fulfillment company. The return address was an Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas! I guess they have people who can't read filling orders. I am still waiting for my DVD burner to arrive, but I won't be surprised if a number of other weird things take place. I don't think you want any more details on the **.

I have ordered from Amazon for years. Last year (2017) I started to have problems with deliveries, customer service, and inaccurate reviews. As a Prime member you are guaranteed overnight or 2 day shipping on various products. Deliveries stopped coming on time even though I was paying extra for the service. I realized that I could never rely on Amazon again when 7 out of 10 Christmas gifts I ordered with guaranteed delivery dates didn’t show up until after Christmas. Each gift was from a different company so it wasn’t as if just one company made an error... and they were all ordered 2-3 weeks in advance. When they didn’t arrive on the guaranteed dates I called customer service and was guaranteed another date. Still did not receive the items and all the while the items were still being offered for sale on Amazon with a guarantee to arrive before Christmas.
Finally, 2 days before Christmas I was told I would have to reach each company myself and take it up with them. Those gifts were for my children. From then on I only ordered from Amazon if the delivery date wasn’t critical and canceled my Prime membership that had become useless. Then I realized that a lot of the items I purchased based on great reviews clearly did not deserve 4 and 5 stars. Everything that drew me to Amazon in the 1st place was gone? The reviews were not reliable, the delivery dates were not reliable, customer service simply told me to contact the sellers if I had a problem (which was next to impossible)... Amazon was not standing behind what they sold or the companies they were in partnership with.
Finally I was locked out of my account with a message saying someone other than me tried to order on my account with a number to call. Nobody had used my credit card so I’m not sure what they were referring to, I could never get a person on the phone or an answer to my email messages. I can still order on my husband's account but I won’t because I find the way they are now operating as criminal!

I was expecting an Amazon delivery, when I got a call from a number I didn't recognize and a man's voice said "** you son of a **", twice. I hung up, and later tracked the call, learning it was the Amazon delivery phone number. Amazon took my complaint information and told me they would escalate and respond within 24 hours. I never heard from anyone so called after three weeks, and they told me the ticket was closed after escalating to the carrier. In other words, Amazon has no accountability at all for the psychopathic behavior of the drivers that deliver their packages. I don't feel comfortable ever having another Amazon delivery to my home. I got a $20 credit for this. A further insult.

I am an Amazon Prime member. Amazon uses locally contracted individuals in many areas to deliver some of their items. In Sacramento, CA, the level of service is so bad, I am reducing my orders from Amazon. They need to get their act together and consider increasing their use of UPS and USPS. We have had packages delivered to the wrong address which causes us to have to knock on neighbor's doors and ask if they have our packages. We had a recent order where there were 3 items under the same order number. Only 2 were delivered yet, Amazon.com stated that the items were "handed directly to a resident". This was an absolute lie by the contracted deliverer. The two items that were left were simply placed on our porch!. The third item simply wasn't delivered. Who knows where it went.
Last week, we had items that were supposed to be delivered by 9 PM. At 8:15 PM I could see that the delivery person was in our neighborhood. At 9 PM, the message changed and Amazon said the items would arrive 8 days later. Who knows what happened. That delivery still hasn't taken place. Amazon, as this problem mushrooms, you may see the same thing happen to you as has happened to a large Social Media provider where you see people leave... Suggest to take notice.

Just wanted to warn all consumers... If you plan on ordering a magazine subscription on Amazon's website, be completely sure you want it. If you change your mind within a couple of minutes, you're screwed. Amazon will not let you cancel a magazine order. You will have to wait until the order gets sent to - and processed by - the publisher before you can take any action... And by then, it's too late. Amazon's cancellation policy and customer service in most other categories is great, but this is one area in which it fails miserably.

Amazon is deliberately slowing down orders if they can't strong arm you into paying for Prime. It takes at least a week before the order is shipped, though they used to be shipped in a day or two before Amazon started shoving Prime down our throats. I usually use eBay whenever I have the chance since they ship immediately and offer the same level of purchase protection. I used to like Amazon but they just don't seem to understand that most people aren't going to pay the outrageous Prime membership to get thing shipped in a reasonable amount of time, and it concerns me that so many jobs have been lost.

I am a frequent Amazon Prime purchaser and have received great shipping service whenever my orders are shipped by UPS or FEDEX. Lately, some of my orders have been shipped using Amazon Logistics (AMZL US) and I have been dissatisfied with how my deliveries are handled. When it rains, the delivery representative will leave unprotected packages on my doorstep where there is no cover. UPS and FEDEX treat my packages with TLC by covering/wrapping them with plastic bags. This extra step helps to reduce returns to Amazon for damaged products.
If they would simply ring my doorbell, I could retrieve the package promptly because I am often home when deliveries arrive. I've attempted to leave feedback directly to Amazon; however, I have been unable to find a place on their website to post comments on their logistics service. I'm looking forward to an improved experience or I will begin shopping elsewhere.

While I do use Amazon regularly I have come to this piece of advice for others - Beware of what you order together because it may ship together and create problems. Items are often thrown into over-sized boxes with no packing or product safety concerns and shipping will cause disturbances that can cause damage that would have easily been avoided with a little care. Case in point - I ordered a soft cover book, a Christmas gift, and a tub of fireplace creosote remover on the same day, not thinking that all would be thrown into the same box with no protection.
Well, sure enough, the creosote remover tub lid came off coating everything else in a fine, nasty powder. The lid was not taped, secured, or covered to prevent spillage or contamination of the other items. The book was not in a bag or wrapper, and the cover was damaged along with the dust. Fortunately the gift was wrapped by the manufacturer and took some cleaning to bring back, but no damage. There is no need for such carelessness.

Until October of this year, I have been an Amazon Prime member for 9 years. For the first 8 years, I could only praise Amazon and tell everybody that I knew they should have an account. I don't know what has changed with their customer service but it's gone completely down the tube. They change delivery dates after items have been ordered. They promised you two day shipping but what good is it when they don't ship an item for 6 or 7 days? That happens all the time now. I will buy something on Monday will be told it would be delivered Wednesday. After I purchase the item, 7 days will go by until it ships and a new delivery date is revealed. I've even placed orders and received a package sealed with absolutely nothing in it.
Calling or messaging Amazon is a joke. I believe they outsource customer service to foreign countries. I don't have a problem with that, but I've tried many times to explain things two different representatives and they have no idea. If you complain too much, they ban your account. I always leave reviews on everything I buy. I probably left a hundred thousand reviews in the nine years I was a customer. Most of the time, I leave at least a four star review. September I ordered an item. It arrived broken. I messaged the seller who ignored me. Five emails I sent in two weeks with no response. I left a bad review. Guess what? I got banned from leaving reviews. If you leave a bad product review, the seller can dispute. Once they dispute, they're always in the right. Not only was I permanently banned from writing reviews, but every review I'd ever taken the time to write was deleted.
I tried contacting customer service for a month. I kept getting told that tomorrow this issue will be fixed and you will be able to leave reviews again. That happened about a dozen times before finally somebody told me this decision is final, you can never leave reviews again because you confuse the system and or are leaving profanity in your reviews and or are in relationship to a seller to provide them with reviews they do not deserve. That makes absolutely no sense. After I received that email I proceeded to ask them what they were talking about and if they could explain it to me in a manner I could understand. The next day my account was closed. As if it never even existed.
Amazon really sucks now. It's not worth the hassle. I've been buying from Walmart.com Pernod membership fee. Every single thing on Walmart.com is cheaper than Amazon and they give it to you with two day shipping and no membership fee. They also ship the items you purchase either that same day or if too late, the very next morning. I really hope Walmart.com or Target.com shut down Amazon permanently. Horrible company to try and resolve an issue with. My issue isn't the only one. They've cancelled a million subscriptions and had the same customer service practices as they have with me. Why pay an outrageous customer fee when there's other places that offer the same product for less with the same benefits for nothing?

Recently had bought a Sewing machine motor from Amazon price at Rs.968 and had to self-return the product, courier charges Rs.450. It took more than 3 weeks to solve this issue and receive the refund. Amazon CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A NIGHTMARE. I called Amazon more than 10 times in 3 weeks, visited the courier office nearly 5 times to check the delivery status. On one of the calls, Amazon told they would contact the seller and get back to me (which they never did) and at a later point on another call they told have placed a request with the seller to contact me (insensible). And finally after 3 weeks got the delivery confirmed personally calling the seller (recipient), he said that he had already received the item a week ago.
Immediately after this called Amazon once again then they proceeded with the refund Product+Courier charges (i.e. 968+450). Usually refunds happen via the mode of payment done during purchase, in this case Net Banking, the amount of Rs. 968 was sent to the bank account after deducting a cash back they provided and the Courier Charges of Rs.450 was requested to be sent to the Bank Account linked with Amazon, thanks to the customer care they sent it to the Amazon Pay Balance as a Gift Card.
When asked they say that it is their policy that the money cannot be moved from Amazon Pay to any other Bank accounts/wallets. The supervisor who I spoke with is a total idiot. He says you can do recharge or buy something with the money. Now the money is held up in the Amazon Pay which will expire in 12 months. Let me explain the strategy (trick) here, once you add money to Amazon Pay. It does not give an Expiry Date for the value, but if it is added as a Gift Card, it has a validity of 12 Months; which forces you to do some purchase/recharge/bill payment. Anyway they control your money as well as your mind. This will make you visit Amazon once again and they get their traffic and advertisements sold. I know it is a long review, but it won't cost you 3 weeks, 10+ calls an average of 20 mins on each call with Amazon Customer Care, 5+ visits to the Courier Office and Rs.450 like me. Amazon is Lucky it does not have Google reviews on them.
