    When I know the day my package is to be delivered, I check my front door every 15 minutes because drivers never ever ring a doorbell. Today my package was scheduled to arrive so I started checking. Minutes after my last check, I saw the notice that my package had been delivered, but it was not at my house. I started walking around the neighborhood and found my package at my neighbor's front door. My house number is in large white letters on both sides of my mailbox and also above my garage door and it's not that difficult to see the difference between 633 and 631. This has happened in the past where a package was delivered on the other side of the circle where I live. Another time my package was left in the middle of my sidewalk. There is no excuse for this except laziness and carelessness and I wonder what would have happened if I had ordered an expensive item. I will probably never do that.

    Tried to exchange a OtterBox phone case. Never had this issue with Amazon. They normally send the right product, along with a return label to send wrong product back. Now you have to reorder said product and wait for a refund to your card. Now you're out twice the money, until said refund hits your account, which I had one take. Took forever to get to my account like 8 weeks. Let that slide. But now they make you go through all this happy crappy.

    I get or used to receive multiple Amazon deliveries every week. Most of my shopping was done on Amazon. Their prices are not very competitive on most of their merchandise but it was convenient to shop there. They make it very hard to contact them in anyway and when it happens they call you at their convenience. They make lots of mistakes such as sending my packages to addresses that I have never lived at, they send the wrong items, send broken items. I have no reason why I put up with Amazon’s unprofessionalism for so long.

    I ordered a 6ft computer cable. They delivered a 3ft cable instead. I went to return the package stating that the cable was the wrong length and since it was the wrong item and Amazon’s computer immediately sends me another cable and I thought it was great until I saw it was another 3ft cable which is wrong for the second time. It took me a long time but I found out how to talk with Amazon. I clicked and they called me when they wanted to. I didn’t like waiting around my phone to fix their two mistakes but I did. I was called by a lady that could speak English just good enough for me to understand and within a minute she stopped the order that was coming to me at no cost and told me to order another one. I have up till now spent thousands of dollars with Amazon and they gave me bad attitude over $6.25. I will never spend another penny at Amazon. Walmart and many others are just as easy and they seem to care.

    I signed into my Amazon account on 9/7/19. What popped up was a survey. I tried to X out of the survey and could not. I decided to take the survey. Sure looked official. After I completed it and selected my 3 free choices (only pay S & H). I was supposed to be charged $4.99, $4.95 and I wasn't sure about the 3rd amount so I signed into my bank. To my SHOCK, I was charged $44.67, $49.95, and $131.85. Amazon customer service said it was not their survey. I changed password. Then I researched the companies. Those companies are alive and selling their goods on Amazon today. Spent all day on the phone Saturday.

    The fraud dept. was to call today. I received an email..."Amazon takes all security-related matters very seriously and your account security is our top priority. We have policies and security measures in place to insure that your personal information remains secure. (Here's the best part) If you have concerns regarding your account, the best action you can take is to choose a strong password". I'm not the only one this has happened to. I told Amazon that they need to warn others. Amazon took NO action. I'm out over $200. Oh, the subject that they responded to is "Thank you for your inquiry." I'm beginning to believe that Amazon had something to do with the survey. JUST BEWARE! AMAZON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!

    I have been an Amazon Prime member for many years. I have had issues in the past with order delivery and it was not too difficult to get help. Now, however, everything has changed. I had two orders that were to be delivered the same day (Prime 2-day shipping). Around 6 pm on the delivery day, I realized I had not received either order. Upon checking the order status, I was told both orders were delivered at 12:32 pm. Nope! Never got them and I was home all day. So I go to try and get help. Very difficult. After navigating a few unhelpful screens I found an automated chat bot. This chat robot asks a few questions and tells me to wait 36 hours because the delivery company can scan the order as delivered, but still has 36 hours to deliver the package. So much for 2-day delivery.

    I finally got to chat with a live person, though I can't tell you how I did it now because getting Amazon support is nearly impossible. After telling me to wait 36 hours, she stopped responding to my chat responses. I waited 36 hours...surprise, surprise...still no packages. Finally found a phone number (don't ask me how to get it because I don't think I could ever find it again) and spoke with a real person who issued me a refund. This couldn't be done 36 hours earlier? I could have reordered and had my items! In the past, I contacted the carrier directly and two hours later had my package. Amazon keeps charging more for Prime but seems to provide worse and worse service. Definitely rethinking my Prime membership.

    I was told my order was attempted to be delivered by Amazon via email. The delivery company also texted and said there would be a delay. Amazon lies to its customers. They went as far as saying there was no gate code supplied, the lobby was locked and no one was there to receive goods. I don’t have a lobby or a gate. I live in a single home, and left clear instructions to leave my item on the porch at the front door. If Amazon is going to deny they make mistakes and insults its customers' intelligence, they should at least get with the delivery service so they get their stories straight. Shame on them and I will not use them again. Just another greedy conglomerate getting too big for its britches. I called customer service and was confronted by a person who did not listen and decided to talk over me. Extremely rude and unprofessional!

    The products you select on Amazon are rated by customers so you get a good idea what you're ordering. It's the Amazon service that you don't see reviewed, therefore I have three cautions for consumers I have personally experienced.

    1) I received a broken bottle, where the content was all over the ill-packaged item. It was a third party purchase. I requested a refund for the bottle from the third party seller and was never contacted by the seller.

    2) I requested a vitamin that has two formulas that are very similar, as well as similar appearances. Amazon shipped me the wrong product. I requested a refund, was told I would get a refund, shipped the items back to Amazon. Never got a refund. I do not have luck purchasing food stuffs from Amazon.

    3) I purchased an Amazon Prime membership for a birthday present for a daughter but first I wanted her to see if she liked Amazon Prime to know if it would benefit her. She requested a Prime trial for seven days. When I purchased the membership as a gift Amazon notified her she could not in fact have a membership because she was in a trial period, she could not apply my purchase of a gift subscription for the year after the trial period ended either. Her only choice was to have a $119.00 gift card. Not my intention.

    Please bear these things in mind if you're making these purchases on Amazon. I'd tell them but they don't have a contact.

    Last three orders had still not arrived 4 days after the 2 day guarantee. Claims were made that my business was closed so they could not deliver. I own the business. I personally propped open the doors and turned on the neon "open" signs at 11 am. Additionally at 5 pm they sent me an email stating they could not deliver as the business was closed at 6:52 pm. Such a precise time, nearly two hours into the future. Furthermore, if they missed the open doors and neon signs, the abundance of people on the roadside patio at said time should have clued them in. "We are sorry but we can deliver it tomorrow is what I got. How this company has any good reviews is beyond me. I have ordered 4 products in last few months. 3 of them never arrived and I was even refused the 9 dollars refund on my "PRIME" membership.

    Absolutely pathetic. This is one of the dozens of reviews I am writing on every social media site and review site I can find. Congrats on your brilliant business practices Amazon. Maybe I should do what so many people I know do. Collect your goods and claim they never arrived. Clearly Amazon doesn't look into anything so they will just refund you. Not even joking.

    If you are thinking about selling on Amazon, please save yourself the heartache and money. They do not stand behind the sellers at all, which is sad since they get a percentage and monthly fee off of everything we sell on their site. They refunded customers before you even get items back, as of right now I have not seen one of the items that was refunded. Then the only way to get it back is by contacting the customer?? That is crazy that they can go in and take your money but now I am responsible for trying to get the items back when I personally didn't allow a refund from my account. Anyway, please do research on their "seller forum" prior to getting an account, I really wish I would have.

    Purchased 4 batteries from UPS Battery which only powered my Ebike about 15% of original batteries. Just plain poor batteries, but they worked and I had no way to prove it then. They had cost 400.00 and taxes which I thought should be good batteries. The UPS Battery company stated I'm not charging them fully or something is wrong in my Ebike. Time went by and I later asked for refund or return batteries. They stated to much time had gone by. I asked Amazon to look into it three times and they just said wait for a response those three times (once a month). Next I asked Amazon to act on my behalf to get a refund and they claimed then they couldn't because a year had gone by. I had never been told a year is all the time you have to complain and I hadn't demanded a refund or return in that time. One representative of Amazon stated I would receive a full refund and then the next one said the previous representative was mistaken.

    I was so dissatisfied with my recent experience with Amazon.com Customer Service. I’ve been a Subscribe & Save customer for over 5 years with no issues but my order was charged a week early this month and had a devastating ripple effect on my finances. What happened is this: on Tuesday, one item charged 7 days early. In 5 years I’ve never been charged 7 days before shipping. It’s always charged 2 days (3 day at the most). I called Customer Service and they apologized. Said they had no idea why it would have charged so early. They verbally told me that shouldn’t happen and that they would look into the problem. The NEXT day, the same exact thing happened. Only this time for 12 products!!!! My account was overdrawn and my bank charged me for each individual transaction (12) for a total of 240 in NSF fees. I was devastated.

    I called a 2nd time to talk to Customer Service. They verbally told me they HAD reimbursed me for $240 and I could re-purchase EVERYTHING I had on Subscribe & Save and be reimbursed for ALL the items for my inconvenience. They didn’t understand how I was charged so early, that wasn’t correct - they only charge 2 days before the products arrive. My case was bumped up to a manager. That Customer Service agent said she’d call me back on the 5th. I confirmed 3 times that I would be reimbursed for all 25 items. I felt valued and heard but that verbal affirmation was about to be proven wrong. I was only reimbursed $73 and I didn’t get the call until the 6th. A little concerning but we were awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Dorian and I thought they may be in the hurricane’s path.

    I get the call on the 6th but she can’t hear me. She calls me back on the 7th. Says I will only be reimbursed $240. And that she never agreed to me ordering ALL items. She said it was my fault for ordering the items early (????). She then said Subscribe & Save always charges 7 days in advance (????). So these are two very different reasons for the ‘problem’ which she was adamant was my fault (????). They even admitted the system shouldn’t have charged me so early. After being so assured I was being taken care of, they completely went back on their word. So disappointed.

    I like shopping online, and most the time I have had a decent experience with Amazon. It is usually pretty trustworthy. But I wanted to mention what has been happening lately. I bought quite a few items for my computer that I am building, some parts from Newegg, some from eBay, and some from Amazon. In each case I used the free shipping option, and I do not have Amazon Prime. I received my items from Newegg and eBay before Amazon had even shipped anything. eBay took 4 days to get to me, Newegg took 5 days, and Amazon? It took 14 days to get to me! Now I know Amazon Prime would help, but why should I pay a company yearly so that they can just live up to the standards of other online sellers.

    Also, Amazon has this fancy little feature that I can put extra instructions on the delivery. So I made sure and described where I lived there, just to make sure the packages come to the right spot. But that didn't help. Amazon still delivered the packages to my neighbor. I am just glad I have friendly neighbors. Another frustrating part is that I can't review the seller on Amazon, because the packages were sold and shipped by Amazon. Does it really take 7 days just to get the package on the road? I just know that from now on, if the price is the same between Amazon and either eBay or Newegg, I think I will go with the 5 days shipping over the last minute-ship-it-in-one-day service.

    Amazon treats their non-Prime customers like yesterday's garbage. Some items you can't even purchase if not a Prime member, most items are more expensive than what a Prime member pays. Delivery times are good but the amount of time taken to prepare your order for shipping take days. Also if you try to post a less than flattering comment on their site in many instances it is rejected by Amazon. Makes you wonder just how accurate their reviews are. I really try to find alternative sources for my business now using Amazon as little as possible.

    I have seen a lot of shifty service from nearly every corporation that exists as they are all WAY too big to care about 1,10,100 or even 1000 disgruntled customers. However, Amazon takes the prize for most pathetic, non existent customer service. I ordered a phone case Monday morning. My "Prime" membership gave me two day "guaranteed" delivery. Which in reality meant, we will try to get it there by Friday 8 pm. (5 days.) Maybe it's because it's a US based company and given the well know fact that the average intelligence level of Americans isn't even considered par to the rest of the world, they thought I couldn't tell time? They are likely unaware that for less than a dollar I can mail a letter 3000 miles across Canada and it will arrive in 3 to 4 days tops. This company is so out of touch with reality that at 5 pm they sent me a message saying they tried to deliver the product at 6 52 pm.

    I was even on the phone with Amazon well before 6 52 pm attempting to explain this is impossible without a time machine. Their highly educated reps could not understand the clear discrepancy between the email and reality but assured me it would arrive tomorrow. I asked about the guarantee, and was again told, it would arrive tomorrow. They claimed the business was closed so they could not deliver, then over and over simply refused to acknowledge the fact that the time they said they delivered, had still not even occurred on the clock. My relearned statement..."You're telling me the guy tried to deliver it an hour from now and couldn't?" Was always met with, "Can I put you on hold." I felt as though I was talking to a post.

    So... Visa has already agreed to give me my 50 bucks back for Prime membership of "undelivered service and or product." I am so done with Amazon. I have literally received more honorable service from marijuana dealers. Hopefully one day we will find a prime minister or president who has the courage to hold corporations accountable for "guarantees", false promises and outright theft. Doubt it though, we have way more evolving to do. Amazon will never see another dollar from me.

    We pay $119 a year for Amazon Prime and in the last 3-4 weeks, we have had late deliveries practically every order. When we complained were even told on one instance that it was because of a hurricane (the package left Phoenix, Arizona, arrived at Las Vegas, Nevada then the final destination in Utah.) that was affecting my order! When you actually check the tracking it is because Amazon has shipped the packages with USPS Parcel Select and USPS Bound Printed Matter. Both services are NOT 2-day shipping options. In fact, both of those shipping options can take up to 10 business days to be delivered.

    A complaint usually gives a $5 promotional voucher valid on Amazon only purchases and a fake apology and an explanation of how it will not happen again (and it does happen again, repeatedly). In fact, I feel that very little is done about the continuous late deliveries unless I file a complaint about each late order with BBB (which I have started to do and I advise everyone to do if they require action).

    We pay $119 a year for Prime, we certainly deserve better service, better customer service, and better accountability when Amazon fails to uphold that service for which we pay for. Amazon also need to stop blaming the couriers when it was clearly sent via low-priority shipping options by Amazon! UPS and USPS have no control over the method of shipping, they just deliver according to the service requested by Amazon.

    Not only does Amazon have great products but their Customer Service for the most part is wonderful. Although most times you are outsourced to a different country, I personally have found that when I call it's either South Africa or Philippines and they speak so well, understand me and my NY accent and are quite nice. Let’s face it. Most times you are calling CS with a problem or issue. These agents have to listen to 8 hours of complaints so they themselves need a break. No matter how annoyed I am I try to be on my best behavior and as nice as can be because they too need a break with how nasty we as a society can be.

    I have run up against any number of odd things that I have had to have handled and never once have I been disrespected or made to feel anything but a valued customer. I have had any number of 3rd party issues and again for the most part Amazon have backed me up 100%. Just remember in the end you get better results when you're nicer. It's even easier to be a nicer person than negative. ***I have never worked for nor do I know of anyone who has worked for this company. I have also never worked CS in this capacity..

    I have been an Amazon Prime member for so many years, that I can't even remember a time I didn't have Amazon Prime and for many many years I've loved it. When Amazon created their own delivery system called Amazon Logistics however, things went terribly wrong on my end. Amazon Logistics has lost, misplaced, misdelivered, and delayed so many of my packages that you'd wonder why I'm still an Amazon Prime Member.

    Truth is, I stayed in hopes that Amazon Logistics would get better in their delivery service. Not only that, but I've loved Amazon for so long I didn't want to just cut ties and end my membership. I have come to the conclusion that the drivers of Amazon Logistics don't feel like driving out to certain areas by a certain time so they say that the Package is still on the way but delayed or that they couldn't enter the place to deliver. The "Still on the way but delayed" is annoying but tolerable. However, when they tell me they could not get into the apartment complex because the business was closed - it is beyond infuriating because there is a gate code connected directly to my cell phone that they flat out never use - and I can't even remember how many times this has now happened to me.

    I have contacted Amazon tirelessly over this issue. At the start, Amazon Logistics continuously was losing my packages or delivering them to the wrong location. That eventually got better but their new thing is to not deliver or delay the delivery because: They can't get into the complex or because they can't find the complex.

    Again, I have been constantly contacting Amazon about this. Each time I have gotten basically the same answers: "I'm sorry for the delay but this does happen sometimes and we would greatly appreciate your patience" or "If I was in your position, I would feel the same way. I will send your concerns to the correct team and my leaders to make sure that problems like this are minimized in the future" or "I'm so sorry this is happening, but we can offer you a $5 promo for the inconvenience." The list goes on but of course, at this point, I don't believe any of it. I don't think my complaints go anywhere at all and they just say those things to try and mollify me.

    I honestly don't care for the promo and have told them each time that I don't want it. They put it in my account anyway but that does not fix the problem of my items not coming on time when I pay for a membership that gives me free 2 day shipping and yet my items are coming 3-5 days late each time. I don't know if I'm jinxed or not and if I'm literally the single human being going through this issue with Amazon Logistics. I certainly hope not - but if I am literally the only one dealing with terrible delivery service from Amazon Logistics, then I must have done something horrific in a past life. Truly Amazon is great and Prime is great - but only with USPS or UPS. Amazon Logistics has just traumatized me and while I'd like to give more stars, the fact that my issues have not been properly taken care of or resolved in years, they get 1 star.

    Unprecedented. The perfect word to describe Amazon. In every positive sense of that word! All because of one man - Jeff Bezos. What an entrepreneur! What a vision! This is from personal experience. Let me explain. I had given up all hope, after a horrible experience with Amazon.ae (formerly Souq.com) - due to a Herculean effort to get an order cancelled and the subsequent refund issued. I have never faced such a feedback-resistant team in my life! They were robotically answering my calls and sending me monotonous, unhelpful emails, followed by absolutely zero action!

    Hiding behind all sorts of implausible excuses - ‘the seller is not reachable’ (in a place like Dubai, where the mobile phone and fibre-optic internet services are nothing less than 4G!), ‘we are unable to cancel your order’ (shipping it ten hours after I had clearly cancelled it in writing), ‘you can cancel the delivery when it is delivered’, ’the refund could then take up to one week to be issued’, etc., etc. Extremely frustrating conversations! I even had a customer service manager here call me from a U.K. number (with dodgy call quality!), who took nearly ten minutes to get the order number right, followed by an unkept commitment to initiate the refund. This was the general tone of the team here. A despicable experience for any long-term customer. I had virtually lost all hope of resolving this and convincing them that this was definitely not expected of the megabrand that they were representing! Dejected! To say the least.

    Out of sheer frustration, I emailed my grievance to Jeff Bezos, of course not expecting a reply from a trillionaire sitting 7,400 miles away and then again, why would he bother responding to someone that he has never met or heard of before? Guess what happened? The response came. Prompt and extremely effective! Within a few hours, the entire mess by the team here was sorted out and the refund initiated. His response mentioned that he will take “any action necessary”. Any action. That is how much the founder of Amazon loves his customers. It’s not by fluke that they are No. 1 and will continue to remain so. Their founder’s principles are strong and his corporate vision is clear. Nothing but the best, for the most valuable asset that a business can have - its customers. I wish this absolute Legend all the very best.

    I would advise customers with serious complaints to address them directly to him and feel safe in the knowledge that they will be resolved. I will continue shopping with Amazon only because Jeff founded the company. Thank you Sir, for caring, when you easily could have looked the other way and ignored my communication in the bulk of emails that the richest man of earth is bound to receive. The corporate world and the other global business icons have so much to learn from you. So, so much. Thank you.

It's given up efforts to maintain that lofty status in favor of the crappy service that many companies now offer. It's near impossible to use their website to find a mechanism for a customer who wants to make a complaint. The chat service they offer doesn't work (I tried 5 times). When you ask for a callback you get an Asian agent who barely speaks English speaking to you from a room that has a cacophony of noise from other agents, making any significant communication impossible. The agent is helpless to provide any more service than you can get on the website. Amazon, you're blowing it big-time. Your initial focus on customer service was part of what made you grow. You've forgotten where you came from.

    I ❤️ Amazon. Low prices. Good deals. You have your occasional mishaps like my daughter's party. I ordered toys for activities. 1 item never showed. I called. They said they would resend. PS It was too late for that. I have two younger kids. They find everything. We just hit spring break. I had Prime 2 day delivery any. I waited to order any. I got a refund. I had to go to Five Below. Ok 3rd party's description and you end up missing some and you're like, "Can't they just send me what's missing? I love the rest." "Oh no. We will just give you 10% off or send it all back." "Ok cool. I'll just keep it."

    Wait 3 weeks. No I'll just buy what I'm missing but just resent. Downy Unstoppable scent boosters are buy 3 get $10 off so I bought three for my sisters, 3 for me. I only got four so I'm like okay. I go on Amazon. I go to the link that shows contact the seller. The link to this seller it goes no more completely blank so then I end up calling Amazon and I tell them what's going on. I got put on hold twice and then I got transferred to another person then tells me that it's going to take three business days for them to do an investigation for the product. I'm like, "What?" Ok for my missing scent booster. Ok and that they're going to do an investigation on their warehouse. Their actual Warehouse 'cause it came from Amazon. I'm like, "What? Okay."

    So I have three kids so I can't wait 3 at going to my sis that gives me one so I go ahead and made a purchase so I can have what I need till all said and done. So I go back to my life, kids, dinner, bla bla life stories I know but with this I get my kids down. I lay down. I start to think???? I've had problems before. It's always a 3rd party. This time it came out of their warehouse. I'm getting the runaround why. I started to google and it was heart breaking but made sense. The 3rd parties can't compete with Amazon and to be true these little guys aren't making much either because Amazon doesn't care what happens to their stuff. No problem. ⚠️ But if it's in Amazon warehouse then I read that they work their employees and get big tax write-offs. In fact they promised States and don't dish but in fact they just kinda of don't.

    I'm the one really helping this to all small guys to maybe some fam to a end which kind of sucks because a single mother of three I do need that low price. I'm starting to wonder at what cost am I going so I just guess everybody should Google because I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place my damn self. I what point I need to save but on other you feel so bad as hell. What am I really participating in???? With that how can I make it if I don't such for the lowest price.

    Usually I have a positive experience with them until the one time I have to call about an issue with shipping. In this case what I got is disinterested, unempowered associates who offered gift cards not actual solutions. I needed to be sure an order arrived on time for a customer job. It seemed very apparent all she could do is read my order information (the very same information I already had access to).

    Three days after placing the order still it has not shipped. This was being fulfilled by Amazon mind you. No third party involvement here. After ordering they took my money and left me with nothing of use. I asked several times to investigate the issue and the rep said she could not. I did want a gift card I wanted something concrete that my order would ship on time. Later she promised a confirmation email with tracking and again it never happened.

    No respect for privacy at all. Every day they send a new text about this or that, claiming I'm some valued customer who bought from them when I am not, so I block the number, only to have them send another from a different number. My advice: don't let them send notifications by text, calls or emails whatsoever including deals on shipping rates or customer satisfaction. Better yet, find somewhere else to do business.

    Classic Amazon - advertise a sale item, allow you to place and order, but then can’t fulfill it and end up cancelling it leaving you without a product which in turn costs you twice as much or more to find a replacement item. They have no problem charging me for my Prime service or anything else, but have horrible service in fulfilling product orders! Don’t order from amazon if you actually want to receive what you’re ordering. It’s better to get it from a reputable site that can properly manage inventory and customer service. If it’s not important and doesn’t matter much, then amazon is an OK place.

But despite Amazon leading me to believe in several places that a cancellation is possible...it is not. All links to cancellation lead to steps as to how to get a REFUND--NOT A CANCELLATION--implying I have to wait for delivery, then return it to China, then wait how much longer for a refund?

    I choose a particular product on Amazon because it indicated "Delivery today". It then said it would be delivered by 9PM. At 9PM it said that the delivery was late. Since I didn't get it that day I reasonably expected to see it the next morning. Now it's saying that it won't be delivered until tomorrow. I needed the product soon for health reasons. I would have gone to a local store if they hadn't indicated delivery today. If I decided that waiting 2 days was ok, I'd have chosen a different product. Amazon really let me down in this case.

    Contacted support over a promotional code issue. The issue was I was browsing Amazon.com on mobile when I received a pop up to download the app and log in for the first time and I'd receive a $10 promotional credit toward my next purchase of $20 or more. I followed the link and downloaded it straight away and logged in. The instructions said it would take up to 7 days to receive the email with the $10 code. After 14 days of not receiving it, I contacted support. Yes I checked my spam folder every day. I explained this to 4 different representatives. They requested a screenshot of the promotional email. How can I provide that when the issue is that I never received one. Instead, they wanted a screenshot of the promotion screen. How can I show that when it was a one time pop up, and the promotion is now over!? Because I could provide neither of those, they basically told me too bad.

    Their complete lack of understanding of the issue is excruciatingly annoying. It isn't even about the $10 promotional credit anymore. They didn't honor their promotion and gave me an excruciatingly difficult time regarding the issue. I logged out of Amazon on browser and app, uninstalled the app, and will not be ordering from Amazon ever again. I can only imagine if I had to contact support about an order over money I've already paid. I'll dodge the bullet and remove myself from this company.

    Unfortunately, Amazon has no support for it's sellers. Bezos has turned over the customer support team to India, which they have trouble understanding issues. If a customer files the holy Grail of complaints, (the A to Z guarantee) he gets his money back guaranteed. Seller cannot win. Buyer claims he didn't receive it, even though tracking says he did, seller loses and Amazon gives him his money and seller takes a hit. Buyer claims no longer needed, item damaged, changed mind, inaccurate website description, buyer wants his money back BUT he wants to keep the product. With the very high fees sellers are paying to Amazon to sell their wares, Bezos has offered no support to them whatsoever. I thought eBay was bad in terms of helping to support their sellers and their encroaching high fees but Amazon takes the cake.

    Indians sent an email kicking off merchandise because we are not authorized to sell it. You need "permission" to sell almost everything on Amazon the exact same stuff you sell on eBay WITHOUT permission (get a clue Amazon, you're living in the dark ages). We fire back and say, "We are allowed to sell it." They say we need to follow these steps to get permission, we fire back with an email saying, "We already have confirmation saying we have permission" and sent them proof. They go "Great, then you can sell your product". We tell them, "Please relist the product you just kicked off." They tell us we (the sellers) need permission to sell.... This is STUPIDITY at its finest. Bottom line, eBay is not great for sellers but it's a lot better than Amazon ever thought they could be. Selling on Amazon simply sucks.

So I call and literally argue with some lady for 45 min saying no one came so she puts me on hold and comes back a couple min later and says, "Oh no no one came. They were misscans." Mind you this is after the order said GUARANTEED by the 22nd and it’s the 23. Now I’m going out of town in the morning and they are saying they can’t do anything about it when they still deliver for another 2 hours at the time. You GUARANTEED it by yesterday.

    The below is the short version of my issue with Amazon (prime member for over a decade) but it can be summarized with the following:
    a) Outsourced customer service.
    b) US based "escalated" customer service folk work out of their homes, and are ruder than India.

    c) Receptionists at "corporate" literally have a God-complex.

    ZERO reply from the behemoth that is Amazon - ee's could not care a bit, and are NOT allowed to be creative and/or make decisions. This was my communication to Bezos et al: The issue is as follows: I ordered item [Ordered on August 18, 2019 Order# **] - SPECIFICALLY because it was PRIME DELIVERY to be delivered on Aug 20, 2019 by UPS. On the early morning of Aug 20, 2019, I noticed (received NO update from Amazon) on my UPS app that the order was delayed due to "severe weather or natural disaster" by UPS in Raleigh, NC - I checked - there was no "severe weather" or any such thing in NC or Virginia. Again - the EXACT reason why I ordered this item was precisely for the delivery, nor was there ANY ETA for the product.

    I contacted UPS - and, frankly, the people who answer the phone at UPS so-called customer service were, forgive me, useless. They simply kept repeating the same line, over and over and over again. Earlier, I had contacted Amazon customer service via text (before I called UPS) and I was told that if I wanted to, I could have an immediate refund, and Amazon would simply recall the package - but the Amazon rep asked me to give it another hour two to see if this was just the "usual" UPS glitch. So I did. By 9am - still nothing - no updates (9am on Aug 20, 2019).

    I then call back Amazon customer service, to be told that NO I cannot have a refund until the item is returned. I told them if this doesn't get delivered then what? So I do not have an item when promised then I have to wait for a refund for something we don't know when it would arrive? Answer was - yes. I call back UPS for the final time - UPS now says that and quote - "Amazon, as usual, lied to you – they picked a shipping speed that takes 3-5 days." I told UPS that by their OWN delivery map, UPS Ground is only ONE day from NC to VA. UPS person on the phone denies this and stated that again I quote "Amazon routinely lies."

    I then call Amazon in Seattle, and I am transferred to "escalated" customer service - first, several of my attempts at speaking with escalated customer service result in my calls being dropped. Every single one of the "escalated customer service people" tell me there is nothing that can done. I plead with the Amazon HQ operator to let me talk to someone who can make an actual decision - this is for my daughter at school, and I don't have the money to buy beds over and over and over again. I was hung up on – for the second time. I called my bank, and in their opinion, between what UPS showed on their site about the package, and the non-action by Amazon, this was lost, and they were not going to honor the withdrawal.

    My last resort was to contact Amazon again via the website - that sorted (so I thought) the situation out - PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED EMAIL CHAIN - Amazon IS FULLY AWARE that the payment was reversed by my bank, and Amazon has successfully (per UPS) recalled the item. Therefore, the item (of course) was never in my possession and, therefore, no payment is due. In fact, as you can see from the attached, the Amazon rep credited my account with $15 for my...inconvenience. I thought - through the help of the online reps – that this matter was closed. Incidentally, not only has the credit not appeared in my account, but it seems that my account has been stripped of all payment information, which perhaps is again being used by fraudsters.

    Therefore - I would like to get immediate notification from Amazon "corporate" that: a) this matter is satisfactory closed, and b) proof of communication to TRS Recovery Services, that there is nothing to recover, and that my account - for which I pay monthly(!) - is in good order. Regarding the threatening email re “TRS Recovery Services: a) reprocess payments, b) make any reporting to any - ANY - credit bureau of any sort regarding this transaction will be added to the complaint I have already filed with the attorney generals' offices of both Virginia (where I reside) and Washington state. Please also note that I am in touch with local news media in Washington DC about this whole "affair." c) will result in me going as much public with this issue as I can, filing as many complaints as I can, and taking legal action. Thank you for your time and attention, and I look forward to receiving a reply by email by August 26, 2019.

    I have been a long term Amazon customer but lately, finding it best to be super vigilant when purchasing through Amazon. Some of the sellers that are listing there are pretty shady. Received a package this week for an Amazon order and was surprised that the order came from Walmart.com, not Amazon. The box was a Walmart.com shipping box and the return label said Walmart.com. Checking the Walmart.com website the exact same item was listed for sale for $10 less and free shipping. Complained to the Amazon seller and asked to return the item because it was shipped from Walmart.com yet listed on Walmart.com for less.

    There is a place on the Amazon returns page to check "found for less elsewhere". The seller was happy to let me return the item - oh by the way, for a 20% restocking fee! That would make what I paid for the item a whopping $22 more than Walmart.com. I now feel that I have been too complacent when shopping at Amazon and will be more vigilant in the future. I intend to complain to Amazon about this practice and have given the seller a poor rating but doubt that any of it will do any real good.

After going through the numerous hurdles Amazon requires before being able to speak to a person, the person with whom I spoke, gave such an incomprehensible answer, that I still don't know the answer. So, while using Amazon often proves a better cost saving, it appears using a local retailer is more cost-effective when having manufacturer coupons.

    I was on the phone for over THREE hours today with several different customer service reps and several different departments. No one seemed to be able to stay on track or help me with my issue. I just kept getting the run around and being told the wrong things and tossed around. The reps kept getting my information highly incorrect or asking me for information that they had right in front of them pulled up on my account! How do I know because 1.) any other time I’ve called in they had that info and 2.) some of the reps today told me that’s what they were looking at. So why exactly, why does it take over 7 agents for three hours to simply pay my bill for them to explain that they cannot help me? All of this took place mind you while I’ve been dealing with pre term contractions as I was discharged from hospital last night.

    There was absolutely no focus, empathy or resolution to my issue. They were asking me the same questions over and over when it was simple. I just needed to pay a bill and be connected to someone who could actually help with that. Some reps asked if I wanted to cancel prime. Uh where did that come from?? No, I said I just need to pay my bill. Other reps tried telling me they didn’t know what credit card I was referring to or one rep told me I had two Amazon credit cards. Again uh no I don't. And I’m confused as to why the Amazon rep I’m talking to that can see my account just as I can is so highly incompetent with my information? So after the first two hours I finally just told them to cancel my card. I never activated it nor purchased anything and this was too much of a hassle.

    But somehow when I applied for it the card replaced my regular card on file to pay for my monthly prime membership and that’s all I needed to pay to come to a zero balance and avoid a late fee as I’m going to be busy with my newborn soon. Then I was told the company the card was through could help me and take payment over the phone. So transferred yet again, somehow got disconnected after the lady asked me for my social security number which was concerning. So I had to call back and yet go through the ringer again. Finally after explaining for the thousandth time and getting told all kinds of ridiculous things that has nothing to do with my reason for calling (payment) I was transferred again and told to have my credit card handy to make payment and that my card was cancelled finally but not my prime. (Wanted to keep prime just not the Amazon credit card.)

    Well once transferred the lady told me my prime was cancelled but not my card. I told her I just spent half hour with the last rep being very clear only the card was to be cancelled and he assured me that was the case. Then she said, "Oh he just deleted it not cancel and yes prime is active." Seriously? Why did you just tell me the complete opposite. So I tell her, "Okay I’d like to cancel" and she assisted me with that. I told her I needed to pay off my balance that was somehow added to my card that I never activated. She then tells me she can’t help me over the phone with a credit card after I was just told more than once that yes they can do that!!!! Why do Amazon reps have misinformation for the company that they choose their very own credit card to be handled through???? So after spending hours on the phone I told her that was my only payment source and got off the phone.

    I then had to call back once finding a check (that I never use as all bills are on auto pay through my card) in order to make this payment that took over THREE hours. How just how is there so much confusion? And why does it take Amazon hours to simply tell me they can’t help me and just be able to get me to someone who can? I also chatted with a rep after this horrendous experience to request an email for corporate and after getting the run around for 20 minutes (what is my complaint and how can they handle it and tell them more) I was finally able to get an email. That is for customer service, the very reps I dealt with, not corporate. He assured me they can escalate. But during one of my lovely rep conversations I asked for a manager and he told me they have none of those. Then minutes later told me they only have supervisors. I told him, "Okay well that’s what I’m looking for, same thing just a higher up."

    I’ve seriously lost hope in Amazon as of this experience. I don't understand why making a payment and getting to the correct department took three hours and why no one seemed to understand anything about anything on my account. This is highly concerning and highly unprofessional. Worst customer service experience of my life. I will be calling corporate tomorrow because no way in heck am I going to put faith in one more representative to escalate my issue for the poor service. As not one representative knew what they were talking about or were able to assist me.

    UPDATE ** Went to add pictures of my chat with several of the representatives and only the last one is there where I asked for email for corporate. Very fishy considering all my other inquires for the past few months are there. Seems like they trying to cover tracks with the serious incompetence and lack of support today. This is completely unacceptable.

    Amazon re-packing has deteriorated over the past couple of years. Very recently, I ordered a a pair of glasses; the small box (2"x 6"x 2") the product was package was very secure, and a simple envelope would have sufficed. Instead, I got a huge cardboard box (18"x 12"x 6") filled with those inflated plastic fillers. Amazon talks about about one of their corporate values being sustainability; seems to be a conflict here. Furthermore, I commented on the packaging as part of the product review; pointing out the irresponsibility of Amazon. Amazon refused to publish the comment. We are moving to using Amazon as a search engine for products, then buying directly from a online retailer. Very happy to pay a little extra for responsible packaging.

I have put detailed notes in the delivery instructions about what the front area of my apartment looks like to help them identify my apartment unit door. The drivers aren't reading the instructions at all. Fortunately they take pictures to show proof that they delivered the product. This the proof I use when I call customer service to show it's the wrong apartment unit.

    I have been using Amazon India since 5-odd years. Overall I am very satisfied by their service EXCEPT for the issue relating to "fake" products or products "not as advertised" which compromise about 90% of my returns, the remaining 10% due to transport issues which have since been fixed after I wrote and complained to Jeff a few times. The problem with fake/fraudulent products is that often the fraud comes to light only after usage and lapse of the returns period, which in India is 10 days. To illustrate, I purchased an auto-ignition gas stove portrayed by merchant as having brass burners. But after (light) usage the burner turned black, i.e. not of brass but of iron. Have raised the matter for return and refund... I am sure Amazon will do the needful as they have done in past BUT after considerable correspondence and effort. Other than this LONG LIVE AMAZON.

This device is supposed to have a 2 year "no quibble" warranty, which despite just trying to get a replacement, as I am the purchaser, and bought it through my account, they keep sending contradicting emails, stating they are going to replace it & then days later when I comply with their request as to where it's to be sent to change their minds, and start stating data protection laws.

    Amazon have broken UK laws & UK consumer laws, firstly they have allowed/coerced a minor into opening an account with them, without either parental consent or authority, then they refuse to honour a binding 2 year warranty, trying to hide behind UK laws, while blatantly breaking UK laws.

I have recently had issues receiving my goods. I regularly receive items at two addresses and have had issues at both.

I ordered a bicycle for my son's 10th birthday. Leave it up to Amazon to botch this one simple thing!!! I have had issues with 12 of my last 15 orders. All of my issues have been directly associated with Amazon's courier services. Anytime my package ships direct with UPS, USPS, or FedEx I have no issues.

    I needed to change my e-mail address since I no longer had access to my original e-mail address. In order to login to my account, Amazon's login sent me a one time password (OTP) to the e-mail address that I could not access. I called their customer service, (yes, there is a number you can call 1-866-216-1072), and explained my problem. Instead of asking the usual security information to verify it was me, they wanted to know the date of my recent order and the payment information for it. If Amazon would let me login the way I have been logging in for over 15+ years, I could change the contact information myself.

    If I could access my account I would be able to verify the date of my recent shipment. Since I can no longer access my Amazon account, I guess they will eventually lose me as a customer. On a side note, their customer service is not based in the US, of it is, Amazon has made a conscious effort to find people that speak English with an accent so thick, that they cannot be understood. Be prepared to speak to someone that you may not be able to understand.

    I've placed 5 Amazon orders in the past 10 days. 1 was delivered on time. 1 was damaged in transit and rerouted back to the fulfillment center, with me being notified after the fact. 1 had a delayed date of delivery. 2 were 'stuck' in the fulfillment process which required a time-consuming ordeal on my end to get the orders re-issued. In turn, this resulted in me receiving the items later than when I needed to make use of them for a work assignment. These recent experiences have left me with a lack of trust in Amazon's ability to deliver as promised. Up until lately, my Amazon orders always arrived on time- if not earlier.

I ordered 2 items last Thursday, 8/1, for delivery on 8/7. They have yet to even ship the product. Lately they hold everything till the last minute and then ship it overnight. Saying to me, "don't want our Prime service, then you'll wait." Don't know how this is very cost effective since the last minute shipping of the item(s) will cost them more money.

They asked me why I changed the delivery date - I didn't. They also had put a note the previous day that someone needed to be home to sign for it. WTF. Also on the list of things I did not ask. But apparently customer service decided to change all that for me to be helpful.

    They spent the three hours apologizing and saying if I wanted a refund they couldn't do it on chat. Let's ignore the fact I've had refunds over chat before. I was told this from FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. So finally I cave and the woman who calls me happens to have the same very distinctive name of the last woman who was on chat with me.

    Don't order Funko Pop on Amazon that is sent from an Amazon warehouse. If you are a collector, the actual Pop box will probably be damaged. I thought asking for a replacement would ensure the next shipment would be packaged more carefully. That is not the case. I have been frequently adding to my collection over the last year but will never again order Funko Pop from Amazon.

    I have not subscribed to Hulu or the other streaming services that show ads. I just started seeing ads on Amazon Prime videos this morning. Additionally, some programs are now stopping mid-episode, always at the same spot, and on different devices, using different WiFi. The problem is not with our devices, modem or router. Numerous contacts with Amazon has not resolved the problem.

    We have been Amazon customers for YEARS. We lived in the boonies of Texas and would get both our Prime orders and regular orders either on time or even early. Recently moved to a Big City, and in 2 weeks and have had issues with 3 orders. First time even though it was a Prime order, the driver turned around when he was ONE BLOCK from our house because he said he was 'running out of time to return to the main warehouse'. Yesterday another order was to be delivered. I got an email stating it was running late and would be up to another 4 days before it would be delivered. It was a gift I was taking out of state today (and I also didn't want 'candy' sitting in the AZ sun for 4 days while I was gone).

    When I called, I was first given to a representative that I could not understand due to their accent. I asked to speak to someone else. Then I was given to a Spanish speaking representative. I asked AGAIN to speak to someone that I could understand. Then I was given a representative that said they could 're-schedule' my delivery for when I returned from my trip (it was supposed to go with me on the trip). Finally I asked for a Supervisor. JOE ** - the Supervisor then finally tells me my package was LOST. He could NOT tell me WHY I had got a mis-leading email. He could NOT tell me why another representative told me they could re-schedule the delivery. He told me NOTHING other than they would refund me and send me a credit. Never even got the credit. SHAME ON YOU AMAZON - you just lost a very long time customer. DONE WITH YOU!!!

    I purchased a new Echo Show on their Deal of the Day which also included the purchase of an Echo Dot and a light bulb. The Echo Show didn't work right, so I sent it back, but they sent me a refurbished (without a cord) instead of a new one, and said that it is the way that their computer works. They wouldn't give me a new one, so my only option was for them to reimbursed me instead, but I lost the savings of $108 and got stuck with the Dot and bulb that don't really work as well without the Show. I did send the Dot back, but couldn't send the bulb back because I threw away the box. It was a real hassle having to ship back the Echo Show twice and the Echo Dot once, not to mention the time that it took to deal with those at Amazon. I wrote a review of the product on their website and they said that they wouldn't post it. Not sure why, because it met all of their guidelines.

    I recently signed up to sell on Amazon and had a most horrific experience. After spending hours listing items which said nothing about providing receipts my account was suspended without warning. The claim was inauthenticity of 2 items. This was nearly immediately after making 4 sales which Amazon had no issue collecting the money for. Then they expect and demand I ship the items. However there is no guarantee I will ever see the money even 90 days or more after the sale. The rep who was supposed to be my personal assistant just coaxed me to fill out a bullet response and do exactly as told. Provide invoices from authorized vendors which I do not have. This has caused me great distress.

    I take great pride in selling good used and new items. I have 100% feedback on eBay and have never felt so humiliated and stressed due to the financial situation I am in. Not to mention I am not allowed to contact the customer or cancel the 4 orders. Amazon does not allow inbound calls to seller central and do not call back when requested. Something is terribly wrong with Amazon and there needs to be some sort of intervention. We the people need to be heard!

    Amazon's new choice of shipping items is using their own delivery service (tracking numbers beginning with tba). To date, only 2 orders ever made it to me, out of around 10. Worse than USPS, I didn't think that was possible. I searched to see if this was just in my location, Columbus, however it's not just here. Use any search engine you want about AMZL (Amazon Logistics), problems are rampant!

    Amazon is trying to be one of the big guys without any experience. Hiring subcontractors to make deliveries, what a joke. The "brown" guys and the "red, white, & blue" guys should be smiling ear to ear. AMZL will fail hard and Amazon will lose lots of customers due to their shipping fiascos. I have left Amazon as a customer. Amazon is just trying to corner another market (shipping), without any concern of the poor service they are providing the customers.

    I have been an Amazon Prime member for about 10 years now and when I first became a member I was so impressed by their fast, professional, helpful and kind customer service. About 99% of the time our packages would arrive on time and in working/good condition. We order A LOT from Amazon, we live far from town so it is much more convenient for us to order online compared to driving 30+ minutes to town. If there ever was an issue with a late package or broken item I could easily email Amazon's customer service and they would fix the issue very fast. If they were at fault they would always make it right by refunding or extending a month of Prime membership, etc. I always had the issue fixed to where I was so happy to still shop at Amazon and give them business.

    I have slowly started noticing that over the past 3 years Amazon's customer service is getting worse and worse. We have been getting late packages about every third item we order. Obviously we understand stuff happens, vehicles have issues and weather conditions, etc but not every third time you order!! And now there is no emailing Amazon, they have either phone call or chat online, which at first seemed like that would be a fine idea. But when you chat with someone they are usually not helpful at all and are difficult to get to understand your issue. I have to explain about 2-3 different times what I am having a problem with. When it was through email it was never this way, it's almost like the people you chat with are trained completely different than the people you would email before.

    Recently we ordered a light switch for the rooms in our house, it's a dimmable switch and it worked great so we ordered 2 more. The 2nd and 3rd switches came together, one was the wrong model (I double checked to make sure we ordered the correct one) and the other one just didn't work/was broken. So we returned both and instead of a refund we wanted replacements. When we got the replacements it was the exact same thing again, one was broken and one was again a different model which is a cheaper model made by the same brand. I was so angry, did they just send us the ones we returned back? I have no idea.

    I did live chat and talked to FOUR different people, they kept passing me to someone else and no one was being helpful. I wanted them to realize how frustrating this was. One customer service agent said, and I quote "there must be something going on with the seller you are buying from, choose a different seller from the other options." Do you want to know who the seller was? Amazon!! I asked them, "The seller is Amazon so what does that mean and how can you fix this?" He told me that they no longer had the item we wanted and we would have to buy from a different seller, which the other sellers were selling the switch for about $15 more than what we had paid. Then the customer service person passed me off to someone else.

    On the FIFTH person I finally found someone nice and helpful, she set up UPS pickup for the broken one and gave us a refund for both and told us to keep the wrong model switch. Which yes that is great but we cannot use the wrong model as it doesn't work for any of our light switches!! I appreciate that she did that but we are still without any switches.

    Now last week we ordered a food scale and when we received it it wasn't working/broken, so we ordered a replacement and when the replacement came guess what? It was broken. I did live chat and they were not very helpful. I was trying to get a replacement one sent but because this was the original replacement sent it was showing as $0 and wasn't letting me get another one. We wanted UPS pick up for the return (which that is one thing I can say Amazon is doing good- offering UPS pickup) as we live far to be dropping packages off that Amazon sent broken. The customer service agent refunded us and gave us a label for UPS drop off. So we wanted a replacement but got a refund, we wanted UPS pick up and got UPS drop off. They can't do anything right!! And paying $119/ year and I am getting crap service and broken items sent again and again.

    I do not plan to renew our membership which is a huge disappointment for us. How are they able to get away with this terrible service? I feel so angry and helpless because how can I change this? If you are on the fence about signing up for Amazon don't do it. Yes they have great perks with music and videos and free shipping but you shouldn't give $ to a company who doesn't care about their customers and if you end up having issues with anything, which you eventually will, good luck getting any help from them even when it's clearly their own fault.

When I called, a few things happened. I was informed that my account was locked due to those suspicious purchases, but was asked by the representative on the phone to pay over the phone for items I had already paid for. Plus, why am I going to pay again for items I didn't order. When I tried explaining to her that I didn't order the items, she literally called me a LIAR. Are you serious? I have never ever experienced a customer service rep calling me a liar. I asked to be transferred to her supervisor. She snickered and said no, that wasn't a possibility. I asked to be transferred to an account specialist. Again, I was told no. At this point I was so upset, so I asked that she cancel my prime membership. AGAIN she laughed and said that wasn't a possibility. I pay for this service.

    Of course I can cancel. I got nowhere with her or anyone else on Amazon. Luckily my bank is being more than helpful, and from what I was told, this seems to be a common thing with Amazon. It is just sad, because I spend a lot of money with them. I buy almost everything off Amazon. They have lost a good customer. I seriously hope they make some changes. Shame on you Amazon.

    Honestly, I had purchased on Amazon before and I never had problems with any of my orders. But recently, I decided to purchase shoes on Amazon and I had the most stressful experience. When I ordered my shoes, I kept tracking it and everything was going well and I liked how Amazon always tells you when your shipment will arrive. On the day my shipment was suppose to arrive, I checked my tracking information and it said it was being sent back to seller with no explanation. When I reached out to the seller he explained to me he didn't know why either and that I'd receive a refund.

    I was very annoyed and confused but I gave Amazon another chance because like I said before, I have had good experiences with Amazon. So I decided to just purchase the same shoes from another seller on Amazon and when I did everything was going well until on the day the shipment was suppose to arrive AGAIN. On this day, I logged on to check my tracking info and it said UPS was unable to deliver my package. I contacted an Amazon Agent and they told me that my address was incomplete and I needed to contact UPS to complete it. Mind you my product was delivered and at a UPS near me. When I contacted UPS to complete my address they told me that it was a huge change of address if I completed it, So UPS told me to contact Amazon to complete the address.

    When I spoke to another Amazon Agent they said they couldn't complete my address either because the carrier had the product. At this point I'm calling UPS and Amazon back and forth to complete my address and no one can do it. Finally UPS told me I could pick it up at the UPS warehouse but I needed an ID. And I couldn't pick it up because I always use a Nickname online shopping. If Amazon could have told me my address was incomplete as soon as I purchased my product, I would not have gone through all of this. That was the most stressful online experience I've ever had. At that point I just canceled my order.

    I have been an Amazon customer before they started Prime Memberships. I immediately signed up when they started and have consistently been one since 2005. I live in an apartment building in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. It is no high-rise and has only 3 floors - 2 people per floor. The driver does not even enter the building as we have a nice covered mailbox area immediately outside our main entrance with a shelf for boxes. We do not have issues with theft here. There are many buildings in this apartment complex on this street and another. I have received my boxes without issue outside my building for years and year and years. That was while Amazon was using the US Postal Service for deliveries, but that just changed a few months ago. Now they use their own drivers.

    The first time I realized there was a problem was late June when I got an email notifying me that a package was delivered. There was no other information and no picture like sometimes is included, but nothing stated about delivered to anywhere different than my building's front door as usual. So when I got home I noticed that it was not there by my mailbox. I wait a day, I've seen one day difference in the past, but still nothing. I wait another day, still nothing again. The next day I left early to drop off my rent at our apartment office (something I rarely do as that office is closed often). I'm told he has my package for me and there it was.

    To make a long story short, since that day there have been no more deliveries to our doors from Amazon drivers. They insist on dropping them at the office even against our manager's complaints! The office is not always opened and has limited hours 8-4 when he's there. He closes the office when he's showing an apartment. It is closed when he takes a day off, and is never opened on the weekend. It is always closed over the holidays which often include a few days for his vacation. It is not reliable. I work till 4:30 and can occasional arrange to be home early but most times I'm dropping my rent off in a closed drop-box at 7am in the morning.

    The new delivery drivers take all the apartment boxes there and drops everything off. In the beginning our manager signed for a few as a courtesy, but he has stopped that. There are far too many boxes and as he said, "I don't work for Amazon and am not responsible to make sure people get their packages." Despite refusing to sign for the boxes, the drivers sneak in and leave them in an outside office area and even leave them on a bench outside in front of the office.

    Complaints to the overseas customer service are in vain. Despite reinforcing deliver to building doors, I'm now left with a little post it "Sorry we missed you - dropped at office". I am letting my Prime expire and will not renew. Other stores are competitive now and I don't mind going out and keeping my neighbors in a job at the brick and mortar stores. I can order at other stores like Walmart, Target, etc., and have them deliver via USPS and I get deliveries to my door, or even choose the option to go and pick up at the store. A note about the option of lock-boxes ... HA! They're all downtown in the city. Where is the convenience in that to drive out of my way and into the congested city? There are none out my way or I'd consider that.

    Bottom line: Amazon grew big because of its promise of convenience. The ease of shopping from home and having deliveries to your door. If they cannot provide that anymore, it is not the same business as it has always been. I'm not paying Prime membership fees anymore for subpar deliveries. I had something shipped that was marked "delivered" last Thursday. I got home after 5pm Thursday and Friday. The office was closed both days and over the weekend. I will get home today after 5pm as well. Amazon has this item marked "DELIVERED" on my account, but I have yet to receive it because of where they chose to deliver it to. I'm done!

This includes commercial free music, unlimited photo storage (not including video), free movies and TV shows and two day free shipping.

    Also, I have never had a problem returning an item. Their customer service is always helpful including their technical support. They stand by what they have represented online. I had an order that showed to be delayed from the promised date, when I called they gave me five dollars off to use as credit; The package actually got there on the original promise date anyway. They also hold their sellers to the same standards. When I had purchased a mattress and adjustable bed from the website and had a problem they told me to call the distributor company and if I was not satisfied with a solution I was to call them back and let them know. For a very large company they operate like a small business with great customer service.

After tracking this down and spending lots of time on the phone with customer support (and even a follow up call), the only remediation offered was to refund the original purchase price. The items were needed and purchased ON SALE during Prime Day. Now the only choice I am left with is to purchase them again at the non sale price and hope they are delivered. Really crap that a failure to deliver (which happens AFTER Prime day is over) means that Amazon will not make good on the original purchase.

I was told by the Amazon customer service rep that they would credit my credit card the difference after it had shipped. I then had to call AGAIN after it had shipped to get the credit applied. That rep told me that they can't make a price credit as it's not an Amazon item! I've spent several hours first purchasing these items, then having to deal with their unhelpful customer service reps, who obviously don't know what they're doing and will just say anything to get you to pay full price for their "Prime Day Deals". Not much of a deal - I've been a Prime member for several years but no more Prime Day for me. It's all going back - buyer beware! I'll also let my state's Atty Gen'l know about their practices.

    I purchased a TV on Prime Day through Amazon. It was shipped out by Best Buy which is an approved Amazon vendor. I got a great price on the TV. The only thing is they sent me a messed up TV. It was not damaged during shipping. It was totally a factory second. You could see the ribbons (internals) on the side of the TV screen which is not good. Also the TV did not function correctly. I was told I could send it back for a full refund or take it to the nearest Best Buy. Either way I was told they could not send me another TV at the price I purchased it for on PRIME DAY. So what is the point PRIME DAY???? I don't blame Best Buy because I did not purchase the TV through them. I purchased it through Amazon. Buyer beware!!!!

    My husband and I ordered $1000 worth of furniture from Amazon, all of which was supposed to be delivered within about a week of purchase. The couch, the rug, the baker’s rack, and the pillow cases arrived on time. We decided on a different rug and pillows so we initiated a refund for both of those items. No big deal. We were waiting on the arrival of an accent chair, a coffee table, and an end table. July 10th came and went and apparently our tables were delivered and signed for by someone that doesn’t share our last name. I chatted with a representative and they told me that sometimes UPS drivers accidentally mark packages as being delivered, and to wait until the next day. The next day came and went, still no tables. I chatted again, this time they told me to wait until Saturday the 13th. The chair was also expected on the 13th. Saturday came and went, no tables, and no chair. Hmm.

    My husband called and told the rep he would like a refund for the tables and the woman told him that that would not be possible until the 14th. She informed us the chair was lost and was able to refund us for that, which was a bummer because I really liked that chair. She said they needed to open an investigation with UPS to crack the case of the missing tables and that we’d hear back in 3 days, max, then we’d be able to get a refund or replacement if they were not delivered.

    My husband wanted the refund as soon as possible, and he didn’t even want to deal with the investigation, and the woman was very rude about it. He asked to speak to her supervisor and she refused. So, we waited for the investigation to close. We didn’t hear anything. I called again today and apparently no investigation was opened with UPS so I need to wait ANOTHER 3 days without a refund or replacement so they can ACTUALLY conduct the investigation this time. I will never, EVER buy furniture from Amazon again.

    I asked customer service to help me change the shipping address for an order I made, as I accidentally chose the wrong address. They were completely reluctant to help me. I contacted the carrier and they told me the sender should stop the package or change the shipping address. But the customer service in Amazon said they can't do anything. I told them I contacted the carrier. I read the carrier website policy about this, and share it with Amazon. They gave me a lecture about Amazon having a different policy than the carrier. They treat me like an ignorant. It was the most horrible treatment I have ever received. Not only they did not help me solve the issue, but they also wasted my time. It seems they are expanding so much that the business is out of control. I am cancelling my Prime subscription after this.

    Purchased an item on Amazon Prime Day. It was delivered but when I opened the box, after I had signed for it and the courier had gone, it contained random items I never ordered that were a fraction of the cost. Upon contacting Amazon they would not replace the item only provide a refund for me to re-purchase. The item had gone back to full price, but they refused to credit the difference. This event was publicised as a bonus for being a Prime member and yet they treat them like this... Shocking. They also implied that as I had signed for the parcel then it must have been correct. From now on the courier can wait whilst I open every package.

After 2200 hrs (IST) it showed that order is cancelled by me and parcel is returning to seller, but this is not the case.

    On Amazon Canada Prime Day. It was offered $5 bonus on $25 reload. They never posted any limit of the maximum benefit on their advertisement. Not even in small bold letters. I reloaded multiple times in the hope I will receive $5 credit each time. Each time on my transaction it was clearly mentioned Qualifying offer. "Prime Day GC Promo" and "$5 promotional credit will be automatically applied to your account within 2 days". However, in reality, I have received only one $5. I have contacted their team and they partially gave me promotional credit but didn't give the full bonus value that I should receive.

    "Deepa: I am really sorry for the misunderstand here, however, the promotional credit can be added one time per customer's account and as you have been given a benefit of doubt, we have already issued a $15 promotional credit to your account, which should not have been added in the first case. *Misunderstanding here." They mentioned the limit of $5 on the terms and conditions but never mentioned on their advertisement not even in small words and misled in the transaction process by giving fake promises of $5 credit on each transaction. Unless you have a hobby and time to read Amazon terms and conditions don't buy from Amazon.ca. They can fool you through their advertisement and transaction process.

    I am a prime member of amazon.in and the services that I got is pathetic. I work as a freelancer for an Amazon store based in USA and my client wanted to buy a laptop for me for work. He wanted to use his card for accounting purpose so I tried to buy it on Amazon since the payment was not authorized from the bank so it declined at 1st time but then my client called into his bank and authorized it and the order went through then Amazon somehow canceled the order. Called Customer service, they said to try again it should work. Again tried, bank declined then client again called and authorized bank for the payment. He cleared it from his bank but Amazon canceled the order again. It happened several times. I called customer service again, someone mentioned that if I have any relative who has prime try from their account as there is a flag on our account and it may take 24 hours to clear it.

    I wanted to use Prime Day offer and I asked my brother to help me with this. And we placed the order successfully but Amazon is not happy with anything and they placed a hold on my brother's account. Asked for the info and we send the info they asked for. Again another mail asked for the statement where address last 4 digits of the account and name is clearly mentioned. I had to ask my client for this and he being so generously sent me the details and we forwarded. Now they asked for tax invoice that has to be sent from his bank. What the hell is this? Am I being a freelancer, how many times I need to reach to my client? All we wanted is to use Prime Day deal and buy a laptop using his account. If you don't accept international card why you didn't write it somewhere? In payment, section writes it clearly that international cards are not accepted. Customer service should have not advised using relatives account for purchase either.

    I am so frustrated with Amazon that I had Amazon pay balance of 10K and I asked them to pay me back. I will use other portals, not Amazon.in. Amazon.com is good but not Amazon.in. My brother's account is still on hold. I am really frustrated with Amazon that I don't want to use them anymore. I have been a regular customer with them, not only me but my family too. In fact, I encouraged others to use as I myself handle Amazon store in the US but will not encourage people to use such a frustrating service.

    I recently used Amazon to order a large number of items to build a gaming computer. This was my first time using Amazon to make large purchases. Mainly because their prices were slightly cheaper than Newegg and OutletPC.com. Well, this past week dealing with their overseas-based customer services has been an absolute nightmare. Some packages arrived quickly, but one order was missing a tracking number which resulted in a complaint to 3rd party sell which was never originally their fault. Over my many attempts to call Amazon, I always end up talking to an overseas-based support team who can never find a solution and force me to repeat myself.

    I would request to speak to a USA based customer service and would be simply transferred to another overseas-based rep in the same department. I have many times praised Amazon for their service. Amazon had made no attempt to correct my issues. I will not longer use Amazon for any sort of PC build or high price item if the service is going to be this bad. Buyers would be better off paying just a little bit more to have a chance to have quality customer service in a moment of need. I would be happy to change my review if Amazon would even put a small effort to correct this lack of support to a customer.

    I recently ordered something on a Monday evening that said it was fulfilled by Amazon with a guaranteed delivery on Thursday. This was important because it was something I was taking with me when I leave the country for 3 weeks on Friday. That Wednesday I get an email saying it will be delivered on Friday. WTF? How can they use the word guaranteed legally when it is really we should have it there on Thursday? This presents a real problem because I will be gone for 3 weeks. I would have not ordered it if it did not say fulfilled by Amazon with that delivery guarantee. So it will sit on my doorstep for 3 weeks where anyone can steal it and know I am not home, and possibly rob from my house.

    I called customer service but they said the item was still in a third party's possession and they could not stop the item from being delivered until it was in the post office's possession. They told me to call them back when I found out it was in the post office's possession so they can put in a stop delivery. I may be out of the country then! They should not be able to say guaranteed delivery for anything, ever because they cannot do such. Frustrated, possible ex Amazon Prime member.

    Amazon.com chose to use an alternative billing method for my account. They did not seek my authorization to change the billing credit card. It matters to me greatly, which card is used for certain purchases. They have a way to toggle this "Backup payment method" off for future, but they have taken it into their own hands to complete the unauthorized billing without my knowledge. They used to send me an email notifying me there was a billing problem and I would be able to address it quickly online (my credit card is turned on and off by me for fraud security purposes and sometimes that causes a charge to be denied, if the card was left turned off).

    To make matters worse, If the item has shipped, which it usually will before you find out about this, customer service WILL Not revert the charges back to the correct card. They prefer the customer to send the items back and redo the whole purchase, taking days longer. Mind you, the items weren't due to reach me for 1-2 days. Also, there is no phone number nor a way to call Amazon from within their own website. Despite following links to talk to a human, I was always diverted back to another webpage. I had to obtain the phone number from another outside website.

On the expected delivery day (the next day) I got an email saying there would be a delay and it would be two days late and I would get my shipping charge refunded. I attempted to cancel the order and got a response that it was too late to do so. Then I got an email saying they couldn't deliver it and it was being returned to Amazon. Then I got an email saying my shipping charge was being refunded. Then I got an email saying the item was on it's way to the the locker!

    I called customer support and you someone (I'm guessing in India) and spend nearly half an hour getting nowhere. She continually just told me what I already knew and couldn't seem to understand my simple questions -- (1) was the order on its way or not and (2) whose fault was it, the vendor or Amazon. He was adamant that a full refund had been processed and that the item wasn't coming but couldn't explain the last email and she said it was sent back to Amazon because the shipper was "unable to deliver it" -- even though the delivery point was an Amazon Locker!!

When I got home to compare some other items I was interested in but didn't have time to review at work, I'm slapped in the face with an "unavailable" indicator for the Ring Pro and it's been moved out of my cart.

    Monday, July 15, I ordered the above item from your website. All indication lead me to believe that the item would arrive in 2 days, as usual. So, I was expecting the item to be delivered Wednesday, July 17. Upon getting a confirmation I learned that the item would be delivered Thursday, July 18. Just an hour ago, I received an email telling me that the item will arrive Friday, July 19.

    I contacted Customer by phone and got no satisfaction. I was told that the cup is sold by Modern Outdoor Life and Amazon has no control over their shipping. The Shipping details says, "One-Day Shipping." So, allowing for one day shipping, the item should ship Tuesday, July 16, and arrive Thursday, July 18 (assuming your 2-day delivery) Friday delivery is 3-day delivery.

    I went to the same web site today, 24 hours after placing my order and went through the process of ordering the same item, again, but cancelling after I got the delivery date of Friday, July 19. So, 24 hours after placing my order, I could have gotten the same delivery date by order today!!!! Which brings to mind a couple of questions: 1) would have I gotten the same delivery date without Amazon Prime? I'm betting, I would. 2) If the delivery date is unknown at the time of order, why mislead customers to think delivery will occur faster than actual delivery? I have to reconsider my subscription to Amazon Prime and the perceived value it portrays. Daniel **

    I am a regular Amazon customer and I had a very disturbing experience with my latest order, which included headbands for $17. My account was charged three times! And, it was Prime, although it took 4-5 days to arrive rather than the typical 2 days. I called Amazon customer service with the hopes that they could rectify the issue but it only caused more frustration as they simply lied and lied, and all over a silly $17! Their “manager” Mindy told me I was charged numerous times because the item wasn’t in stock. And, that when it’s not in stock, they can charge as many different times as they want until it becomes in stock. She said, it’s a very problematic policy and causes issues every day for them and for customers and they have notified the higher ups at Amazon, to no avail. I was shocked!

    I said, "Wow, so, by ordering something I’m agreeing to letting you charge my account for one item as many times as you want," and she said, yes, that’s the policy I’ve agreed to. Yikes! I can’t imagine if this was actually an expensive item and my checking account was charged over and over again. I then told her that I ordered the product and it stated that there were only 12 items left, so there is no way that it was actually out of stock as it wasn’t that popular of an item. She said, "Oh, actually the policy is that it can be in stock, but we charge every time we check with every Amazon warehouse to see what warehouse has the item." So, I said, "Woahhh so you can have the item in stock and still charge erroneously." She said yes.

    I asked for my $17 back for this misinformation and she refused. I also said that I paid for Prime and it took far longer than two days. Both the regular customer service agent and the manager, Mindy said that the supplier can take as long as they want to ship it out, it just has to be there in two days after they ship it. I was shocked that I’m being led to believe that Amazon Prime means an item will get to me in two days, not two days after a supplier sits on it for days, weeks, or even months. Again, this is just a $17 order but it should have been refunded especially because the manager thinks the “policy” is problematic and because she lied to me.

    I’ve lost faith in Amazon completely! And, my fiancé himself works for Amazon - I’m shocked what the company has turned into. We have given Jeff Bezos the permission to charge our checking accounts as many times as he or an employee feels like and also gives them as much time to hold our money without having to send the item out in any given time frame. This is scary. I won’t be ordering from Amazon anymore and my fiancé is starting to look for another job. This company just isn’t trustworthy anymore. :(
