    I purchased a DJI Ronin S gimbal mount with an adapter on Dec. 21, 2018. There was a special of $200 off before Dec 31, making the normal price of $799 to $599. While looking at the item on Amazon, it refreshed at a price of $347! I immediately bought the item and an adapter for $9. The adapter came and I waited, thinking it's busy during the holidays. Into the new year, the price is back to $749 for the product. I contacted Amazon and they told me the order had been canceled, however I still received the adapter??? Customer service told me they are sorry but I can order it again. Now I still don't get the end of year $200 discount. Their response was basically, "Sorry, do you want a $50 gift card."

    When asked to speak to a supervisor, Lyn ** said she was a supervisor. I then asked if I could speak to her manager. She claimed they are all in a meeting and she didn't know when they would get out. I asked for a manager to call me back and she said she didn't know if they would. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! And now I'm out the $ 200 year-end sale. Had I known they canceled the order, I would have re-ordered it before the 31st. SUPER PISSED... AMAZON SUCKS! Spread the word.

    I have ordered a significant amount of orders with Amazon U.K. due to the fact that we moved into a new home and living on an island with limited choice for furnishings. Without a good reason given, Amazon has suspended me from placing any reviews and when I inquired on why they have done so, I get a generic reply that they will look into it and get back to me when they are ready. Rather than been treated like valuable client, I am treated like a criminal. I have placed my last order with Amazon last night and awaiting my outstanding orders to arrive then canceling my account and my Prime membership. Horrible service from this company and they can get stuffed. Would rather use eBay.

    I started my membership a couple of months ago with the free trial. I should have learned my lesson then and NOT actually paid the $12.99 for the next month, but I wanted to give Amazon the benefit of the doubt. During the free trial most of my orders got delayed and arrived a day or two after the supposed 2 day shipping date. One order was completely lost and another was delivered to the wrong address by their incompetent drivers. During the second month I thought it would get better once I paid. It started when I tried to link my Prime account with my Twitch.com account and that was a failure. According to customer service it was because my card was not verified, but it was verified enough to charge me for my prime account.

    On to the other drama. I didn’t place any other orders until the last week of the month. On December 30 I placed an order which was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. The packed was delivered by an Amazon driver on Wednesday, to the wrong address... AGAIN!!! At that point I immediately canceled my membership after speaking with customer service for a refund on January 2nd. I was to be charged on the 4th for the next month. It’s now the 5th and I have been charged yet again. I contacted customer service for the fifth time in two months to cancel my membership. I was told I needed to turn off the auto renewal button. You would think that canceling an entire membership would solve that problem automatically. I think it’s safe to say I’m done with Amazon.

    They are the biggest and hold a modern day legal monopoly, they can do whatever they want. They advertise next day delivery and force you to increase the order amount in order to do so, and then when you pay for the order, they change the delivery date. They trick customers into not driving to a brick and mortar store, and they extort more money out of you to do so.

    As a loyal Prime member for many, many, years, I have never experienced the issues I am now with delivery. For the past three months I have experienced delays on all 6 of my orders. I have contacted customer service multiple times, and they just read off a script. No details, no explanation, no assistance. In fact, the item that was supposed to arrive on January 2nd, wasn't shipped until the 3rd. This was a one-day item ordered on December 30th. Due to the holidays, I was patient. When the item didn't arrive on the 2nd, I contacted Amazon on the 3rd to inquire about the status. That's when I was told there was a delay. I told them I was going to cancel the item, and did so myself; however, I received an email notification later that day stating that it had shipped and was expected that day.

    Three days later, no book. And, I received another notification this morning that there is another delay and I could cancel, but there was no guarantee that it would be cancelled because it was on its way. Make up your minds Amazon - is it on its way, or is it delayed? And, how can a package that has already been cancelled, twice, still be on its way when it never shipped in the first place? No longer a loyal customer. Bricks and mortar are going to save me a lot of time and frustration.

    I recently made an order with Amazon and soon received an email from them stating that they had encountered an issue with my account claiming that my credit card company had refused to confirm my name and billing address. Amazon stated that they would no longer allow me to access my account until they could verify this information. In addition to completing all of their recommended actions to provide them with the needed information, I also called their customer service center three times and tried having the credit card company call them to resolve the issue. After exhausting every approach I could think of, I came to the conclusion that the only party not trying to resolve the issue was Amazon. With no apparent remedy to the issue in sight, I have asked Amazon to cancel my account and will be using other sources to complete my online shopping.

    I purchased iPhone X from Amazon, India and within 2 months of purchase, the screen got defective. When I went to Apple Care at Janakpuri, Delhi, when they opened the phone they found that the phone was already tampered from inside, they intimated me that as the phone is tampered they will not cover their repair under warranty and they wrote the same in Job Sheet.

    When I approached Amazon with the job sheet, they started dilly-dallying the matter and despite of me following their Escalation team for more than 10 days, they refused it straight by saying that they are not the manufacturer of Apple phone and they are also not the seller, according to them it was my mistake that I have not checked the phone properly before purchasing the product. They asked me to get it written from the Apple Service centre that this product was repaired/tampered by the seller and he sold the same product after getting it repaired. Amazon is the biggest cheater company as they allow their sellers to sell refurbished/repaired products in new packing and charge the full amount by saying that the product is new one. Their Customer Service never cooperates if you complain about the product or seller. Don’t purchase from Amazon.

    I am surprised that an American company, like Amazon, bans the sales of certain books because of a politically powerful group. For example, Amazon banned a book by MS King, The Bad War...and there are other books. This should not be permitted by any large company because it stifles free speech, books should not be banned, especially history books because we all know, ”that the victors write the history,” which is mostly lies and damages our society. I believe also, that Amazon banned me from writing reviews because of the books that I read, and review, however, Amazon policy does not permit them to tell me why I am not permitted to review products that I purchase from the Amazon site. All a bit of Big Brother.

    At least our monopolistic American corporations should be required to be a little more transparent, or the Sherman Anti Trust Act should be used. I am also aware of various people creating frivolous lawsuits, again, that is not what I would agree with, hence, I understand why corporations would be reluctant to have discourse with their customers. However, banning books should not be permitted in a free society, shame on you Amazon.

    I'd been a loyal Amazon customer for years and all of a sudden I couldn't ask questions or post reviews. I kept asking why with no reply. It was as if I didn't exist. I bought a lot of stuff from Amazon. Finally I had to call about a product 'cause Amazon refused my online questions, that's when I found out I had been banned from any online contact with Amazon other than buying. They accused me of taking money for a good review which is crazy 'cause I don't receive money from them ever but I've given them plenty. All of my Christmas shopping, most every book I ever bought, camping equipment etc. They refuse to even receive my emails. Now all I can do is keep the account open 'cause I have movies on Prime and a lot of books on Kindle. Otherwise I'd close the account permanently.

    I have been a long time Amazon customer and I have a real problem with their increasing memberships and unfortunately they do not provide friendly customer service. Also their representatives are outsourced and you always get someone who speaks broken English which makes it hard to understand them. I experienced a decline in service over the years and cannot understand why they want to increase their membership fees when service has only gotten worse.

    This time I opted to chat with a rep and his username was laxman?!? Needless to say he was lax about my concerns and I felt frustrated by the lack of service and will to retain me as a customer. Unfortunately the complaints do not end there, I have had numerous lost packages, my account was also compromised and their drivers are mad men and women behind the wheel. It just lacks everything for me to justify paying more for a membership That lacks quality and service. So if you're considering buying their membership, SERIOUSLY consider your options such as Ebay, etsy or other sellers FIRST.

    Having already cancelled my Prime due to delivery issues, I was already losing my enthusiasm for Amazon (Canada). An order from a 3rd party seller a couple of months ago ended up convincing me I can't trust anything on Amazon anymore. Ordered a set of LED bulbs for kitchen light fixtures that are difficult to change bulbs in - so I thought LED would last longer. First they ended up being shipped directly from China, so took extra time to arrive. Now, after three months, 25% of the bulbs failed. So I ask for replacements, but seller no longer has stock. Look at the reviews for seller on US site, then discover they were de-listed for non-delivery and selling counterfeit items. Check my order and discover my bulbs were not the brand ordered (likely counterfeit as well).

    What should have been a simple issue to resolve with Amazon ended up being a frustrating multiple email exchange, and many unanswered questions. Biggest one was why Amazon Canada would continue to allow a scam seller banned many months earlier in the US to continue to sell in Canada. I never got an answer to that, or multiple other questions about the issue of counterfeit goods. I asked Amazon to send me the brand name bulbs I ordered, no response. Instead I get emails saying I've missed deadlines, or don't qualify for refunds. This, by far, is the worst customer service I've seen - even worse than Samsung! Moral of the story, don't order anything from 3rd party sellers on Amazon - and be careful about dealing with Amazon. Period.

    I purchased two Mophie chargers for my grandchildren. I love the product and the kids are enjoying them. Amazon lowered the price on them - $15 for one and $10 for the other. When I contacted Customer Service I got the runaround. Bottom line I can send them back at my own expense and when they get them back in house - they will issue me a credit for the original and I can reorder. No one cares it was a gift - I can’t take it back. I’ve talked to four people with no concern for making the customer happy. I’m very frustrated and disappointed with Amazon.

    I have been a Prime member for years and to be honest I do not think I will renew. Here's why: On Wednesday, December 19th I ordered 7 items. All were Prime eligible items. All guaranteed delivery, to where I work, by Friday December 21st. When I received my confirmation email, the delivery dates were all Saturday, December 22nd. Since we would not be working Saturday, I changed the delivery location to my home address. All this within an hour of starting.

    Come Saturday, two of the seven arrive. Monday, one more comes. That means four Christmas presents would not be opened on Christmas morning. Now, it is January 02, Six of the seven arrived. One now states it may come by the end of January. How does that equate to two-day shipping for Prime items. So today I order a Prime item. States on the screen delivery by the 4th. When I order it, it states delivery between January 8th and the 11th. I cancel the order, and reorder the same thing. Now it states it will come this Saturday, January 5th. Still not two days, but closer.

    So, why am I spending $120 a year for Prime and the promise of two-day delivery when they do not fulfill their obligation. I asked that question to their representation, the answer, "Well Amazon offers lots of other good things." So I asked him if I could have 25% of my money back from my Prime membership. Do I need to tell you the answer...

    Let's face it, consumers are going to have issues re: their purchases, and because Amazon deals with so many sellers one can imagine how busy it keeps them. Like others, I've had my share of problems, after all nothing's perfect, but I can honestly say that Amazon customer service dept. takes a complaint seriously, doesn't stop, and follows up until the customer is satisfied. This has been the case with every single encounter I have had with them, and I can't say this about many stores or companies. This must be why Amazon is as successful as it is, its outstanding customer service. We should demand this of all merchants, but sadly it's not the case.

    On December 24th, 2018 I ordered an episode of the show, "Lost", from Amazon video. The next day, on Christmas, I stopped at a gas station to pull out $25 from my account and was informed it was frozen. Sure there must be some mistake I checked my online banking to find that a place called "Ooredoo of Maldives" charged my account 15 times on Christmas day for 32.38, totaling almost $500. Having never heard of this foreign telecommunications company, we froze our account, cancelled our cards, and waited for the bank to open back up. They investigated and said that there was some connection to Amazon and the episode we ordered on the 24th.

    We were told to contact Amazon to straighten it out. Well Amazon informed me that they had no record of these transactions, had nothing to do with our issue, and our bank was lying to us. Coincidentally, In doing my own research, I found that Amazon and OOREDOO had partnered up to offer Amazon services in the Maldives through OOREDOO just 4 days before my account was hit by them.

    Many months ago, I listed a number of items. An expensive item sold ($213) shortly after I left the country to work for an international charity for 6 weeks. Upon receiving notice of the sale, I wanted to get in touch with the buyer to explain the delay. However, I can't access the account unless I am home with my cell phone in order to get a message (the two step verification process rule). I have explained that Guatemala is not part of the States, but employees don't seem to care.

    Result is the buyer paid good money and is expecting the item. Buyer at some unknown date in the future can cancel the sale and get a refund - some unknown time. This will result in lowering my "meecheck", whatever that is. Doesn't sound good. So buyer being abused, seller can't rectify situation and sale a mute point. This happened a year or so ago and they said to send a copy of my passport. I am reluctant to do this again, as this is like giving out social security numbers and it did not solve the problem previously. I can't even protect future buyers by cancelling my listings or account. Amazon wants more money from buyers of the other listings?

    I’ve been an Amazon customer for many years, and I’ve had Prime for most of them. It used to be that I could find what I wanted for a cheaper price and have it delivered quickly. Now the prices aren’t nearly as competitive, but worse is the delivery. USPS, and UPS got my packages to me quickly. They didn’t lose things. They bothered to knock when they dropped things off on my doorstep.

    First they switched to OnTrac, who stole and/or lost my packages frequently, or just delivered them late. I think the record was 4 months later than the promised delivery date. Now I’ve got Amazon's delivery people. Some random person, who leaves packages where they can be seen (real nice when the box shows what is in it), doesn’t knock, and once called me while I was at work. The caller didn’t identify himself, and spoke so fast. I couldn’t even understand him. When I finally got that it was supposed to be an Amazon delivery, I thought it was a scam (until I came home and found the package). So, I’m breaking up with Amazon.

    Amazon adds a description for their Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5", Black (SM-T590NZKAXAC). They refer to an S pen that comes with the tablet. It does not. False advertising at its best!! I called support and the agent agrees that it does stipulate this and it should then provide the item. She says she has to upgrade this to a supervisor. I wait ages to be transferred and as soon as she picks up, she says, "Hello" and hangs up. I get a call back and she hangs up again. Then silence!! Do I have 2 hours to spend on this? No!! Will seriously consider cancelling my Prime membership now.

    Wow. I have been shopping with Amazon for YEARS. Their customer service now is horrendous. Extremely slow, lots of repeating and no resolution. I ordered 2 echos, only 1 arrived so they sent a replacement. I wasn’t able to register them. When I connected with customer service, they gave me the runaround, kept transferring me and took up a lot of my time. They take 2-10 minutes to respond to a question. I’m done with this company.

    I have been a long time Prime member and order from Amazon weekly. I ordered a Fitbit Alta HR as a Christmas gift to myself. I already have a Fitbit Alta and wanted to upgrade to an Alta HR. Long story short, I received the wrong item twice. The best they can do to fix my problem is to offer a refund. The "manager" couldn't even figure out how to email me a return label. His exact words were, "I'm at the mercy of the computer". Thanks Jimmi, I will try your competitor, Jet.com. Now the item that was on sale for $98 is no longer on sale and cost $32 more from Fitbit. Please watch the description when ordering from Amazon, you may not always pay for what you intend to order. #dissastisfiedexcustomer#

    Ordered an item a couple weeks ago for $49 and it dropped now to $39. Figured most stores offer a match policy. I would contact Amazon to chat about it. I started the chat and explained the issue. The agent said he would transfer me to someone who can help. What happened after was almost comical. The 2nd agent transferred me to a 3rd agent. 3rd agent looked and then transferred to a 4th agent. Not joking! They did not say anything besides that they will connect me. 4th agent straight off the bat told me no. Not even apologizing for the fact that I was bounced 3 times. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor *argued* with me on chat that I was wrong - twice! I had to explain to the supervisor my point, and only after I explained he flat out said no again. Also no apology from the supervisor whatsoever. Terrible service.

    On August 28, 2018, I ordered a set of speakers through Amazon for my son. The speakers were ‘delivered’ on September 10, 2018. Although the delivery contract specified that the package could only be delivered to my son upon receipt of his signature, the FedEx delivery person instead gave the speakers to another individual in my son’s apartment building. This individual signed his name as ‘Tommas’ - a name with which both my son and I are unfamiliar. ‘Tommas’ has since made no attempt to return the speakers to us. One can only conclude that ‘Tommas’ stole the speakers, and that this theft was facilitated by a failure to uphold the delivery contract by FedEx.

    From September through November, my son made numerous attempts to receive reimbursement from the seller, e@World, and FedEx. In November, after his attempts were thwarted several times, he asked Amazon what could be done. Amazon instructed him to make no further contact with e@World or FedEx, and assured him that Amazon would procure a refund for me. Since then, Amazon’s claims department has denied my refund three times. It is now December 28, 2018 - nearly four months after my speakers were stolen, and I believe Amazon has no intention of procuring the refund they promised me. In sum, Amazon’s customer service representatives have repeatedly promised me a refund, while Amazon’s claims department has repeatedly denied me a refund. The A to Z guarantee is worthless, and you can expect Amazon to deny the refund you deserve for lost and stolen items.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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.

    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.

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.

    I ordered a AeroKat delivery chamber for my cat on Wednesday. This is used to administer asthma inhalation medication. The item was guaranteed to be delivered on Friday. 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.

    This year has not, for the first time, has not been a good one for receiving packages from Amazon. The problem is that packages are left at my garage door! Out in plain view for everyone to see that you have a package. Why? The delivery trucks are unmarked and they just throw your package on the ground! UPS is much better for deliveries. They don’t ring the doorbell anymore but at least put your package at your front door. Now I have to determine if buying online is even worth all the trouble.

    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. I have now been on the phone for over 2 hours waiting to have someone make sure that I will have a package delivered by noon on Monday December 24, when I should have had it by Dec 19th. This is not the first time I have had to call because I have not received something when I was told I would have it.

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 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.

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?

    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.

    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.

    I recently purchased an item from Amazon 3 weeks ago with my Amazon Prime account. They have since lost it and won't replace my item. They have only offered a lower end product as a replacement. Where is the accountability for delivering what they contractually owe me? Is this what I pay for Prime for?

    I am very frustrated with Amazon Prime that says 2 day delivery which is not true these days. I have had Amazon Prime for many years and the delivery was great because they used FedEx and UPS for their deliveries. But now they only want to use the Postal Service and the Postal Service will pick and choose what packages they want to deliver and mark the rest undeliverable! I have never had a problem with anyone delivering to my address before and I have lived here since 2003, now I can't get the orders from amazon because they refuse to use anyone else for delivery here, only the Postal Service which sucks. So if you are depending on something don't use Amazon Prime there is no guarantee you will get it.

    Normally Amazon has always delivered when promised. Since November, 2018, EVERY order comes days or a week later than stated, even though I have Prime. I also returned an item, which was easy to do, but they gave me an Amazon gift card instead of crediting my credit card. This is something to beware of.

    I ordered a $200 curved monitor for my son as a Christmas gift from Santa and selected the service to have the gift wrapped in Amazon packaging. They failed to do this and my son saw his present, spoiling the surprise. They were apologetic, but ultimately did do anything about it. I asked the service person what Amazon would do to make it right and they offered a tone-deaf response of providing me a $10 certificate that I could use on their site. To be fair, I don't know what they could have done to earn back my business, but I feel good local retailers would be better at coming up with a resolution. Amazon is huge, and it's in these situations where I feel that being a giant retailer is not a great thing for the consumer. Some things are more important than having the lowest price and being the fastest shipper. Very disappointed in the response.

    I am a Prime member. Always have nothing but good thing to say about Amazon but my latest experience in very sub-standard and they do not seem to care. I bought a Christmas tree from Amazon (the seller being Amazon). I chose a tree that was 450 more (1250 vs 800) because of the quicker delivery - it was Prime and was to take 5+ days to deliver - so be it - the tree never came and they loved deliver out 3 more days - I could have purchased the cheaper treat which would arrive in approximately the same time. I was on hold for more than 1 hour - a call dropped and no one phoned me back I had to call again and go through all steps - very disappointing experience and one in which I paid 450 extra for - makes it even poorer on Amazon’s part.

    Their customer service used to be SO good. It has changed in the past few months. I have had it with them. They gave me an incorrect refund on a return for a defective item. They gave me 300 dollars in a GIFT card - not my original payment method. They messed this up on their own and customer service told me there is "nothing that can be done". As if it was my fault? They refused to fix it so I disputed with THEIR store card company. I still haven't seen the refund and I contacted Amazon. They said they couldn't help me and neither could their bank. I went back and forth between the two and both tried to pass off responsibility. The lady on the phone was extremely unhelpful and kept repeating the same thing over and over. Then she connected me to the bank without asking me, to pass me off. There I was hung up on.

    Amazon messed up my refund and I am having to spend hours trying to fix it. And even then, this is still not resolved TWO MONTHS later just because they messed up how they refunded me on a defective item. This is ridiculous. I have spent thousands of dollars on Amazon and have been a Prime member since 2005. The way they are treating their customers/consumers who can't do anything is ridiculous. I will be withdrawing everything from them and take my money elsewhere even if it costs more. They have become too powerful and have moved away from good customer service. I am now owing 300 hundred dollars on an item I don't have that was defective. Lovely. To make matters worse, any attempt to contact customer service over email (after talking on the phone) gets me a copy-pasted response from each new person even when I keep asking for help. One of them said "I can't help you."

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.

    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...

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.

    After hours on phone calls to them, sending emails to Amazon and the company that sells the Dr. Bronner's soap, they told me I had to deal with Amazon, nothing happened. I sent dozens of emails, in a couple of days, to get their attention and then they totally ignored me and cancelled my account. Amazon ripped me off and if they had an office within 50 miles, I would drive there and make a stink, get arrested and have this theft by Amazon in the local newspaper. I am 70, disabled Vietnam veteran and I am appalled at Amazon! I hate Amazon! I truly hate those thieving soul less...!!

    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.

    I purchased a battery backup power supply (UPS) from Amazon. In less than the warranty period of one year the device caught fire (confirmed by the fire inspector). I attempted to contact the seller through Amazon but received no response. I then contacted Amazon and they insisted they cannot help me and that I must contact the seller. After no response from the seller, after two attempts at contacting them, I again tried Amazon. They stuck to the story that it's not their concern and that the issue is between the seller and I. I explained several times I was not looking for Amazon to refund, I simply wanted to pursue the warranty with the seller. Amazon was unwilling to take any action to help.

    I also explained that the item caused a fire and they should look into removing it. No avail. Unfortunate that Amazon is unconcerned with either customer service or monitoring for dangerous products. Finally I attempted to leave a 1 star review. The review avoided accusations and simply warned others that the device caused a fire and they should unplug it if they own one. Review was rejected by Amazon. I reviewed their review policy and could not find anything in violation.

    So I ordered an item from Amazon.com, not 3rd Party seller, and at the time of purchase, the item was literally 50% off of what I think it should have been. After I purchased the item, the product itself went up in price to double what I bought it from within 1 hour. I think someone in pricing dept. messed up big. As a Prime member, the item arrived a week later on 2 day Prime ship. The item was defective, and big. I contacted CS chat, chatted with possibly India person. He told me he will send replacement and I can send the 1st one back after replacement arrives.

    The replacement item arrives another 1 week later. It is freaking defective again. So I contact Amazon CS chat, and another India CS I chat with. I tell him my anger and frustrations, and he tells me he will send replacement and for me to trash/destroy the defective items. I turned it into Target objects for my firearms.

    A few days later, I get a email saying I still need to return the old item. WTF? The CS chat tells me to destroy it and I do, and Amazon.com email tells me to return? I CALLED CS Dept., and blew up on them saying, "WTF! You guys have Chat CS telling me one thing and email saying another." They confirmed through chat logs that the CS rep has told me to destroy it. Ok, fine.

    2 weeks goes by and no replacement, so I Chat with CS again, and they tell me they have no clue on my delivery date of replacement. And they proceed to tell me that I need to return old items again, WTF is wrong with these people. So I tell this India CS rep to check chat logs and call logs and they can find that this shouldn't be a issue. They deny the chat logs and proceed to tell me I need to return no matter what. AS HELL PISSED AS I WAS, I called CS dept., to Again Confirm that What I was saying was True.

    The 3rd replacement is on the way, and honestly if there is another defect, I'm not going to complain, I don't want to deal with their double standardized, two-faced Customer Service again... By the way, it has been over 1 month for the item I ordered to arrive non-defective, if it arrives without defect. Otherwise, I spent 3 digit money on 3 defective items that took over a month to arrive. Yeah, it's costing me 3 digits, but it's costing them 4 digits.

    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.

The next delivery attempt was on Saturday, despite the account settings. Then the order was returned for a refund. There was no third delivery attempt as promised with Amazon Logistics.

    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. With the timing of my finances, I just couldn't do that. Had to try to find my item elsewhere. Christmas potentially ruined. FedEx and UPS make much better decisions about package delivery.

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.

    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.

    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..."

    They quit charging when you place the order. Instead, they wait until each individual item has been shipped. This is an incredible inconvenience for me since I have a bank account mostly just for bills (I keep the rest of my money in cash). So I then have to wait and watch and make sure I don't forget that in a weeks time I will be charged for an item. They don't tell you the dates the item will ship and you will be charged, at least let me know that much. When I talked to customer service about it they said it's their new policy and that they can't do anything about it. Just refund the money if the item doesn't ship. I'm ordering because I have the money and I'm prepared to pay for it at that time, not in a week or 3 days or whatever.

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 ordered Roku stick with Amazon Prime account. Item was Supposed to arrive in two days. When I checked tracking after the guaranteed delivery date I was told, “Sorry your item is delayed and will arrive in 2 more days.” 2 more days came no item. Then after almost a week later, tracking read item either stolen or missing call customer service for further options, something along those lines. Long story short I called customer service to complain. The person sounded very nice. He told me normally such inconvenience is rewarded $10.00 but in my case he will add 10 more dollars to make it $20.00 and also expedite my replacement order for the inconvenience which I accepted. He promised me that I should see my credit in possibly less than an hour.

    Before we ended the conversation I rained praises on him because I thought he was fair little did I know That he was lying. A minute ago I wanted to apply the $20.00 credit he gave me to order I was making but then I realized there was no credit. So I call back customer service to reinstate my $20.00 credit but to no avail. I’m disappointed and dissatisfied for the dishonesty. I’ve trusted Amazon for all these years but this single act is going to jeopardize my desire to continue to do business with them unless this issue is resolved amicably.

    I placed an order that was supposed to have 2 day shipping. I received texts from Amazon indicating that the packages were "out for delivery", but they never arrived. The next day, exact same thing. I contacted customer service who told me that the driver ran out of time on both days and couldn't get my packages to me before his shift ended. She promised that she would contact the "station" to have my packages delivered first thing the next day. It never happened. I contacted customer service again only to be told that my packages were still sitting in the "station" and would I like her to "request to have them delivered". WHAT? Don't they automatically deliver them? I have to request it?

    So, needless to say, my packages must still be sitting in the station, or in the delivery driver's car who can't seem to get his packages delivered before his dinner time. The AMAZON LOGISTICS delivery SUCKS. I even said I would go pick it up myself but was told that is not an option. I have filed a complaint with the BBB to at least get a refund for my missing packages. I will be shopping elsewhere for anything that I need by a specific date.

    First, we all know that Amazon increased the cost of Amazon Prime. It appears that the 2-day delivery is now a "maybe". Sellers are not honoring the 2-day delivery and Amazon blames the seller but does nothing to protect the consumer, or punish the seller. A second part of the problem is that more and more deliveries are through USPS and they are JUST NOT reliable! USPS reported a recent delivery (that was already 2 days beyond the 2 day delivery promise) as "could not get to porch" when in reality (and confirmed by USPS) no attempt was made to deliver on time. I cancelled the order and refused the later delivery attempt. USPS had to handle the return (their problem, not mine) and Amazon lost that sale.

I spoke to Amazon representatives and supervisors at least 11 times between 7 pm yesterday, and 12 pm today. I was told early this morning that the package would be sent out at by 8 am.

    It was never sent back out and remained at the warehouse. I was told it might be sent back out at the same time it was sent yesterday and never got here, so I just decided to cancel the order and order from Ali express as I usually do. Do not purchase Amazon Prime. It seriously serves no purpose. Most of their items are more expensive than other sellers. Prime video is trash. I have on demand already for old movies. They also don't care enough about their customers to have their own reliable carriers. They use contractors who don't care if the packages are delivered on time or at all. Buy directly from the company you want to purchase from and let a reliable carrier deliver your items.

I read through the rules and am not violating any of them. I bought it, used it and should have the right to voice my opinion.

    I contacted Amazon.com and they just wrote me back a non-detailed email that basically said they are allowed to block anyone they want at any time and for any reason. 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. My opinion is that competitors of the things I bought are paying them off, but I have no definitive proof of that obviously.

After going through the tracking detail, and talking to UPS, I learned they sent it via UPS SurePost, which drops the item off at the US Post office nearest the buyer. From there on they have no tracking - either UPS or via the postal service. Checked tonight and it was back to "We're sorry we are late" with no arrival date. Spent an hour on the phone with the customer service department (probably in India) who did not understand about SurePost. The book is being replaced, and it is supposed to come by regular UPS.

    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.

    In August 2018 I purchased from Amazon an International Samsung Galaxy S9. The phone arrived on a Saturday afternoon, shipped by New Generation

    Products in Issaquah, WA. When the phone battery did not charge to 100% from Saturday to Sunday, I contacted the seller who emailed me a return authorization. Concerned that the seller did not provide any phone support, I packed the phone on Monday morning, took a picture of the phone, insured it and sent it back to the seller. The seller wrote that there is nothing wrong with phone. A 30% restocking fee was charged without explanation. I phoned Amazon Customer Service and described my situation. Amazon contacted the seller: "Details: The customer is missing $183.99 on this order. Kindly process the refund for the customer. Please contact back the customer."

    When the seller did not refund the excessive restocking fee, I filed on 10/2/2018 a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. At this point the seller produced a picture of a phone with some scratches but no identifying info on the phone. I produced a picture of the phone in new condition with the identifying IMEI numbers prior to shipping. The final response on October 22, 2018 from the NGP Management Team (the Amazon Seller):

    "Customer sent us a SCRATCHED UP and USED PHONE! As per our policy we have charged customer restocking fee. Customer should know if they use phone and ship back there is going to be restocking fee. This is very abusive of a customer to expect full refund when item really had scratches on the back of the phone and front as we showed in previous attachment. We will not refund customer restocking fee just because they have opened complaint on BBB website." I continue to dispute the sellers responses and request refund of overcharged restocking fee.

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!

    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 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.

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.

It should be my option to cancel right? Is this what happens when the company grows? So very dissatisfied. Probably I will start looking for an alternative. Probably cancel my Prime too. I'm paying a lot of money for it.

    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. Amazon has become too large and too difficult to deal with. I would honestly rather deal with Walmart then go through this every. Single. Time. I order something.

    My husband bought me a Kindle Oasis for $299.00. It is NOT working properly. The screen flickers between light and dark making it terribly frustrating to read. I called Amazon to get an address to return it to. They do not accept returns until someone troubleshoots the device, and then there is zero guarantee they will actually accept it. I think it’s impossible to troubleshoot the device since they do not have it in their hands. So, now I have to wait 2 or 3 days to have someone return my call and try to troubleshoot it. I just want to return it and can’t. My husband paid a lot of $ for it. Terribly frustrating. Take my advice and don’t buy the Kindle Oasis. I am 100% positive we have just been ripped off. I also have to close my credit card and reopen a new one because they are charging our card for items not bought or received. Ludicrous!!! Done with Amazon.
