Ordered a boat starter for my commercial fishing business. Order placed on Friday via Prime and was guaranteed delivery on Saturday. Monday - no part, called customer service who issued me a refund after I specifically said I do not want a refund just the part. Then spoke to three different reps and all said the part was at my local post office and guaranteed delivery on Tuesday. Tuesday evening - no part. Called Amazon and the rep apologized and stated she “the package was lost by my post office”. Contact the post office, turns out they never received the package or manifest.
The next rep then stated she thinks the part never left the warehouse. I stated again, I never wanted a refund, I just want the part. Then she put me on hold to receive her “managers” approval to “expedite” the part and send a replacement ASAP. Approval was granted and I was guaranteed delivery Wednesday. Wednesday evening - no package. Called Amazon and spoke to a manager directly. She stated all previous reps I spoke to were “mis-informed” and need further training. She also stated a manager cannot issue a replacement to be sent.
She said and I quote “since the refund was issued, I should just take my money to another store and buy the part”. I then explained that they no longer manufacture that part to be readily available at a store, hence why I ordered through Amazon Prime. I was lied to by 5 separate reps, one imaginary manager, told to take my business elsewhere by another manager, and have lost over $2k in canceled trips that MY customers paid for. I have digital copies of the conversations from their chat that can also verify my statement.

I was fortunate to get a 100.00 gift card from the above. I started a purchase order, when I encountered the check-out process, I inputted as instructed 1-Click, to no avail, this did not work. I spent several minutes with several Amazon reps, to attempt to resolve the above issue, no resolution. It is both disheartening and frustrated to deal with not so knowledge on the above, with the advancement of technology. I sent Amazon an email on this today.

My parents are 80 and 84 yrs old respectively. They have been accustomed to going on Amazon pretty much daily. After using my amazon account info on their computer they now have to enter an OTP code every time they try to log on to the site. Needless to say, this has become very frustrating for them. Customer service has been of absolutely no help. I would think that after the account has been verified once it would no longer be an issue but that isn't the case. At this point I have suggested that they forget Amazon and shop elsewhere for whatever they happen to need.

While I've had great experiences with Amazon.com previously. I recently had a purchase, that within hours the price dropped by $10. When I contacted customer service they stated they do not do a post-purchase price refund. I found this to be surprising, considering that they seem to be abreast at staying the most competitive as well as giving the best customer service. This area is lacking and may be something they should reconsider in the future. While this was only a $10 purchase, it gives me pause before larger purchases in the future; considering that there could be a change in price that they will not work around. Most every other store I've shopped with will make allowances for this type of change. I find this to be considerably lacking for such a large and profitable company.

Out of nowhere they decided to erase my saving login info from all of my devices, including my PC then force us to login over and over again using a "code" number they send to your email, that you have to enter each time and today I had to do it 5 times in a row!!!! It's bad enough they removed my saved info and force me to not only use my password, but another means of verification, but to have to do it over and over again makes me want to SKIP PURCHASING ALTOGETHER AND GO ELSEWHERE!!!

I AM Staring to use Walmart more and more. I don't always see that I am ordering from a third party vendor and I don't like the way Amazon treats my purchase response. I ordered something and it arrived used, missing parts and damaged. This was on the 5th of the month and to this day (9/25/19) I am still trying to get my money back.

I used to shop on Amazon frequently. I could get needed items quickly and at a great price. Working some days 3 jobs I didn't have time to shop. Because I worked crazy hours and didn't have reliable transportation, Amazon was a lifesaver. Recently, the delivery service has gone from great to terrible. Once, I didn't get an item. I was upset, but Amazon replaced the item free of charge. The next time, I received an email picture where my item was placed in the middle of the common staircase. The third time was the last straw - my item was given to a "resident." I was told they didn't get a name and they had no way to contact the driver ever to find out what that "resident" looked like. Bull. I even told that to the customer service person. I am done with Amazon.

At one time Amazon was quite excellent. NOT anymore. I recently tried to sign in to my Amazon account and was given a: Authentication required. We will text or email you a One Time Password (OTP) to authenticate your request. I NEVER asked for this and apparently is something you can sign up for if you wish. After EIGHT (8) phone calls 3 supervisors who disconnected the call after a wait of 12 - 18 minutes on hold, I was finally given the excuse that if I sign on from a "new device that I will now get this EVERY time I try to sign in. Hmmm. I have been using the same 2 computers for 5-6 years to sign in and have NEVER had a problem. I was told that it's for my "security". Ok. BUT I do not leave my credit card on file unless I am paying for an order, let it process, and then REMOVE my card #.
NOW My wife, who uses the SAME 2 DEVICES has signed in to her account WITHOUT a "OTP" so WHY CANT I???? And WHY won't Amazon correct this? Who cares. Time to take my business elsewhere. One stop shopping is convenient, but they are NOT the only game in town and the aggravation isn't worth the hassle. Their customer service is unresponsive, gives "boiler plate" scripted responses and is essentially unhelpful. Oh, I WAS a "Prime" member. Not anymore, and have actually CLOSED my account. I would rather shop at "WallyWorld" which is a nightmare in itself, than deal with Amazon.

Amazon uses third party companies to fulfill orders. I ordered parts for my jeep on Thursday September 19th expecting to receive that weekend or early that next week for a trip. The company who it was ordered from said that the order was lost in transit. Then Amazon told me they never placed the order. They resubmitted the order form and when trying to get a tracking number was told the order AGAIN was not shipped. Amazon said since it's a third party there wasn't anything they can do. I had to re-order the parts if I wanted them. I will not use Amazon for important orders anymore. Go directly to an accredited company who you know will get you the product you want when you want. Amazon doesn't care if you are happy. They care about one thing. MONEY.

I have been a long time Prime member with Amazon but will not be renewing due to unreliable 2 day delivery.

I had booked this product on Saturday and requested for cancellation on Sunday 22nd September 2019, I was initially get in touch with chat advisor and he promised that it will be cancelled within 24-48 hours. Didn't get any confirmation on the same, so contacted phone support, here also the advisor informed the same thing. So, thought it will be cancelled by Tuesday and contacted the chat support on Tuesday morning but the advisor (Kandula **) informed like he has cancelled now from his end then what was both advisor doing on Sunday?? Any of them should have lied and trying to fool.
And after that was transferred to phone support as I wanted it to escalate it further. Now another phone support advisor (Gnanavi) was ready to provide more worst experience. Nothing to tell about her because her tone was like she is doing this job because of someone's pressure. After that I was transferred to a senior advisor, I don't whether he was actually a senior advisor. His name was Mohin and he again para-phrase the issue and said the request is already been sent and it will be cancelled when the products reaches any hubs.
This is what is much interesting, according to him the product cannot be cancelled when it is in transportation so once it reaches any hubs and if they scan for the barcode, they will be notified by a pop up that the item is requested for cancellation and it will be cancelled by then. So, I had requested for cancellation of the product on Sunday and Monday 23rd 4:23 AM package has arrived at a courier facility Haryana. According to the great senior advisor Mohin, they will only be able to cancel the product when it reaches any hubs. If I had requested cancellation on Sunday and why was it not notified on Monday when it had reached the Haryana courier facility? Didn't they scan over there?
Monday, it has already left Haryana courier facility at 12:00 PM. Why was it not scanned by then at least?? I have the screenshots of the chat transcript had on Sunday and also phone recording of Tuesday as well. Someone is lying... I want to know who is that or this is the standards of Amazon customer support. I have all the proofs and this is not that product didn't cancel by time. This is about the trust I had Amazon has lost. Never use Amazon, the support is terrible

Buyer Beware! Amazon regulates customer reviews. After submitting your review on a product, Amazon reviews your review and decides whether or not they will allow it to be posted. Amazon is intervening on what reviews they will allow to be posted so they are being biased. So beware that Amazon reviews can't be counted on being unbiased due to their intervention.

I've purchased many items from Amazon. Most are easy and good. However I have had a couple of issues that necessitated a product return. After an hour plus of trying to reach somebody at Amazon for all occasions requiring contact and finally getting to a live body... We worked out a return was needed. No problem. They sent me a label or I agreed to take the product directly to Kohl's for a NO $ FEE for shipping... Nice! However when I saw my return I was charged just over 30% fee (reduction in return) for 1 item and 34.8% fee for the other item. This is NOT what I would call "Customer Centric" as they would put it. Bottom line: don't buy clothing, gifts, wedding gifts or any other item you are not 100% sure of or be prepared to get penalize 30+%.

My experience in buying from Amazon goes back to their very early days when they were simply a discount online book store... Yes, we're talking last century here... I've watched them grow over the years and offer more and more products and services. I have enjoyed saving money while avoiding mall shopping, which I've disliked for decades.
Now, however, especially following the Great Recession, I am also sensitive to the impact dollars make on local economies. While I still spend money on Amazon, I would feel better about it if I knew my hard-earned dollars were being spent in the U.S. to support my own nation's economy, though I'm not opposed to supporting others as well, as long as they don't use and abuse workers. I'd also like to be able to choose between states in the U.S. wherein my dollars may be spent, so I can support the economies of states in which my politics are more compatible than in others. Simply stated, I like to feel good about how I am spending my money, and I like to vote, not only in the voting booth, but with my wallet as well. After all, that's really what most people in power care about.
Being the concerned shopper that I am, I recently contacted Amazon and asked how I could find out where their sellers are located (just country and/or state, nothing more). I was also interested in knowing which state's workers might be impacted by my purchases when I buy things fulfilled by Amazon (does the item ship from a warehouse in California, West Virginia, Washington state, or elsewhere). Again simply stated, I wish to feel good about my purchases by monetarily supporting certain local economies, while not inadvertently supporting others.
The response I got from Amazon went something like the ones I got from doctors' offices recently when I made some calls to find out what a procedure I may need might potentially cost. All responded by saying they cannot provide that information. Really? Doctors' offices treated me as if I was from Mars, because apparently no one ever dares question what they charge. It was only after I explained that they may call me a "patient", but I am also a "paying customer" that they referred me to others who finally got back to me with answers.
With Amazon, the story was not so pleasant. I was treated as if I was the problem, simply for asking where my hard-earned dollars might potentially go. What ever happened to customer service and making information available so customers may make informed choices? (Note: I use the term "customer" because it is MY money being spent here. I am not simply a parasitic “consumer”.)
I'm now looking to go back to purchasing things from companies directly, rather than giving Amazon my hard-earned dollars. Sad, because I typically supported new start-ups and smaller businesses on Amazon (those with 100's of reviews or less, rather than those with 100's of thousand of reviews). I liked the idea of supporting the little guy, instead of major conglomerates, while also being backed by Amazon's return policy. Sadly, Amazon seems to have become one of those major conglomerates that doesn’t care about their customers (and probably doesn’t care about their workers either).
Sadly, there are many smaller sellers who feel they need Amazon's platform to get their businesses off the ground. Because of outrageous real estate costs, they cannot afford brick and mortar storefronts, and they cannot afford the time and money it takes to move their own websites up on the google search platform. And ironically, I happen to agree with a lot of what Jeff Bezos has recently done to stand up for those without a voice. Still, after my most recent customer inquiry and Amazon’s “customer service” department response, I am going to make a concerted effort to spend most of my dollars away from Amazon from now on.
BTW, I'm not sure this is the right website upon which to post this, given the fact that you claim to have the consumer’s best interests at heart, while at the same time taking advertising dollars from businesses. Still, it’s not easy to find a site upon which one can review Amazon itself. Interesting. We'll see if this actually gets posted...

3 years ago we did a Kickstarter funding for a recording project. Campaign was successful. The way it worked was... Donations come in and had to go into an account set up with Amazon which Amazon gets a percentage of funds that come in. We have a balance of $600 left in our account. Amazon has/is making it impossible to get the remaining funds. They keep changing the story on why they won't release our donated funds. They say one day, that our bank isn't confirmed (which we've confirmed 7-8 times now). Then they say we don't have permission to access the funds. You're put on hold for 20-30 minutes at a time and have to listen to distorted music and then talk with a customer service rep who barely speaks any English and accent is so thick it's hard to understand.
We've been butting heads with Amazon to get our last funds to help with our new recording project which we left the funds in our account for this very reason. Just now, looking at another email from Amazon they're saying again that we don't have permission to access the funds even though when you talk to one of their Indian reps we're told it should work. We've now a call into our attorney to try and make sense of what Amazon is doing. How many other Kickstarter project people are having the same issue with Bezos/Amazon and not able to get their own funds in the their accounts??

After waiting 2 hours, I decided to check the status again where the date change again with the delivery date 09/21/19 - 09/24/19. I called Amazon customer service again and told both deliveries were delay because of the flood. I told them there wasn't a flood on 09/16 19 so it does not make sense. Akolhili transferred me to Logistics again (passing the buck) and I spoke to Andre to find out where was the package. Andre placed me on hold but another person was on the line and told me the building collapsed. I asked so the building was collapse on 09/16 also. He could not answer that question.

I've been shopping on a regular basis at Amazon Canada for many years. During that time, what has usually impressed me the most was their high level of personalized customer service. In the past few months though, that seems to be declining rapidly. Even their Executive Office seems to be changing, and not in a good way. They were always there when things were not resolved at a lower level. The last time I contacted **, I didn't even get a reply. This continuing decline in customer care has me looking elsewhere FIRST, not as a last resort, when shopping online. I'm also trying to shop more locally, which is a plus! Bezo has repeatedly predicted that Amazon will go bankrupt, and in the near future. I won't be surprised if that happens.

Now this did change my prime shipping by a day but since it was the following business day that I resolved things, that was acceptable, however, it is now the expected date of delivery and they still have yet to charge it. I chatted with both amazon.com and Synchrony Bank (who issues amazon.com charge) and while they saw the declined attempt, they have not seen another attempt since I requested the payment to be updated. The bank asked to have them "try again" and they stated, "Well, we can request it but it will take 1-3 days."
Why do I pay for a prime membership just to be transferred around and given a bunch of BS for over 2 1/2 hours to get nothing accomplished. I will be seriously considering buying elsewhere and cancelling my prime membership if their customer service attitude is "not my problem - you just have to wait". 7 customer service reps due to chat changes, transfers to wrong dept, and straight up hangups to request reference number to be told, "We don't do that" is just ridiculous for customer service department.

The customer service reps need to learn English before you come here from 3rd world countries. And jerk supervisors do your job. Amazon employees are incompetent working for world's richest crook (** Amazon). I'll shop the old fashioned way.

I placed an order for some computer parts on Sept. 3rd 2019. I choosed free shipping because their shipping rates were outrageous. Sept. 14th came around and I noticed they have yet marked it shipped, so I called them to ask what was going on? This Amazon Rep puts me on hold for 15 mins before getting back on and tells me because I choosed free shipping they would ship it near the expected date of delivery. She even made the comment that the order was 6 hrs away that when they do ship it it won't take long to get here. That didn't stop them from taking my money pretty fast. I thought Walmart was bad trying to push their self-checkouts on everyone by closing the other checkouts down. So if it's only 6 hrs away why would I want to pay 40 dollars for shipping on an item that weighed no more than 5 lbs? Greed has it's own karma.

I ordered several packs of size large socks, and 1 of the packs was inadvertently sent in size medium. I called customer service. The rep from the Philippines had a hard time understanding me. Eventually, I was able to convey the problem and she explained I needed to return the wrong sized item and offered to do that by UPS. I explained that I live in the country and asked if I could return this by UPS. She said yes and stated she would send me a label. When I received the label, I discovered that I had to paid postage. The rep I had spoken with never explained to me that if I chose this option I would have to pay postage. Obviously, if I had known that, I would have declined because the cost to ship would have been more than the value of the wrong socks I was sent.
So I called customer service again and once again spoke with a Filipino rep. I explained to her the problem and she was extremely rude and condescending to me. She was talking over me and saying that it was my fault because the UPS option has to be paid by the customer. I told that this was never explained to me by the first rep I spoke to. Then she said that she was not going to stand for me talking to her that way. I was stunned. I asked her, "Exactly what way am I speaking to you that you find offensive?" No reply. I asked for a supervisor and when she came on, I asked for a US-based rep who professionally and efficiently resolved the problem.
It is outrageous to me that I had done nothing wrong here, and was made to feel by this overseas rep that I was to blame for the error. Amazon not only sent me the wrong product, but the first rep I spoke with failed to inform me that by choosing the UPS option, I would have to pay for it. Amazon needs to stop using cheap overseas labor and hire US-based customer service reps. It may cost more, but their customers are worth it. I strongly encourage anyone with a customer service issue with Amazon to request a US-based rep when calling for help.

Amazon FAILED me. Why won't management take calls or contact customers who have been financially harmed by your inability to follow through on fulfillment? I placed an order on Sunday 9/8, and it was a guaranteed delivery of 9/11. I would not have ordered the wagon if I couldn't get it by 9/12, as I needed it for the weekend to move some items that I couldn't move otherwise. There were other wagons that I could have ordered, and if the wagon had not been guaranteed to me, I would have ordered one that could.
I received an e-mail stating that it wouldn't get to me until 9/13...too late! I called the customer support, and the rep did a ticket and told me that it WOULD BE TO ME NO LATER than 9/12. Guess what???? FAIL!!!! The item had yet to be sent out. Not failed once, but twice!!! Today I called to speak to someone in customer service to see how they were going to fix the situation that was cause solely by AMAZON not fulfilling the order, and the rep was very robotic in his words, and kept putting me on Mute...which is so rude, and only heightens the anger of an already irate customer!
He switched me to another robotic supervisor who kept saying, "so it looks like they will be shipping it out Saturday or Sunday." Uh.... Really? Who is going to meet me at the festival and carry my items to my booth on Friday afternoon, because the wagon was purchased for that. He went on to say that he would send all the information to management so that they could use it for future trainings. How is this going to help me? I wanted to speak to management, and he said that management does not speak to customers. WHAT??? I told him that I wanted some sort of confirmation that management received my complaint, but again he said that it couldn't be done. Shame on you!!

Something I don't think many people know about which I would address here is this. I spent 20 years writing a book and over the last 8 years, although I've not got many reviews for my hard work on Amazon.com, I do appreciate those that have read it and simply want to leave a review. Amazon.com's policy is when someone submits a book review Amazon.com will NOT accept it unless 'that person spends $50 on amazon.com.' Talk about something that I think is completely and utterly unfair and in my opinion is a way of legally laundering money into their own organization. I've been on Amazon for many, many years and I don't think I've ever purchased anything in one go that's valued over $50.
On Tuesday September 3rd 2019, I called Amazon and requested that a copy of the two reviews that were submitted for my book, out of retaliation (and were eventually removed) he sent to me in an email. I never did get to see whose names were on there. Remember while these reviews were on their website this was public knowledge. The gentleman on the phone said he'd put the request in. I'm still waiting for an amazon.com response and it's now been 9 days. I personally feel that their policies are quite wrong and that they can't be bothered to help a customer when really they get nothing from it.

I have been purchasing various products from Amazon and have never had any issues so far with regards to either delivery or return or refund, however, this time I am so sorry to say this but they have degraded their delivery standards. I had placed an order on 9th September and delivery was expected by 11th September which is fair enough. On 10th September, I receive a message stating that you can expect an early delivery and I was way beyond happy, as my hubby's birthday is on 12th and I had ordered this product as a gift for him.
At around noon on 10th, I receive message that the product could not be delivered as the number was not reachable and delivery would be attempted on next working day. Again on 11th September I receive the same message and the product is not delivered. I received only toll free number in message and when I call them they cannot help me as they do not have courier agents name and number. They keep on assuring that you will receive within 24 hours. Today is his birthday and I still do not have the product with me. It is very disheartening and I would request amazon to please improve your delivery standards. I never received any calls on my phone and how is it possible that based on 1 phone call you take the delivery back and not even try in an hour or two and don't you understand the importance of delivering the products to the person on a timely manner.

I logged into Amazon and spent less than 15 minutes browsing a list of books needed for a project. Chose nine and ordered them. In that 15 minute period, seven of the nine books increased in price. The books were at different price points, but each increased by one dollar. I contacted Amazon and said it seemed unethical to increase prices of products just placed in one’s browsing history. I was passed from one customer rep to another—5 or 6 reps, each saying they had to pass this to another department.
A rep finally explained that Amazon can increase prices anytime and that yes, this probably was a coincidence that prices for seven of my nine books increased in a 15” period. I have suggested that they post an alert that prices can increase at any second. Have had no response to this and no offer to make any amends. I have been an Amazon And Prime member for many years, have had most of my few issues resolved, but I feel that Amazon’s customer service and ethics have changed. Last week I made Amazon my last, rather than first shopping choice. Used My Library and ThriftBooks for book selections, Walmart and Earth Origins for food items. All easy and pleasant. One thing is certain: When you enter a store and browse, management does not appear at the merchandise table and change the prices.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

Amazon deals with too many shady third party sellers and from China. Products from China is cheaply made and takes 4 months to come in. When you are shopping, you don't have time to review each and every product, ask the seller where is this coming from, they take 2-3 days to get back with you, review their website, etc. There should be a filter where ONLY the products from the country you choose to purchase from, shows. I am way too busy for all this research on every single item I purchase. In going elsewhere.

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.

Amazon started off as the model for customer service for internet-based companies. 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.

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.

Usually I have a positive experience with them until the one time I have to call about an issue with shipping.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Next, the whole reason I am a Prime member is to get my orders in 2 days. In the past several months the 2 day delivery is a joke. The items that are supposed to be Prime are not available for 2 day delivery or the item is NOT delivered when promised. This is happening more often than not. I called today about an order that was supposed to be delivered yesterday and was told it would not be delivered until tomorrow. 4 days on 2 day shipping. The customer service person blew me off and also my concern with the shipping issues as of late. Not renewing my Prime!!

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.

Ordered a tie on 20th Jan 2019 for 349rs. and never received the order. When the order was to come to my place for delivery I used to wait at home and then when I check the status of the order it says delivery guy was unable to find the address! No one ever called me and no one came for order. 2 times I checked the status update that delivery guy didn't find my address and the third time my order went back from where it came..and then in Feb I received refund of the amount which also I was not knowing as I didn't got any notification. I was waiting for my order like mad. Then today I came to know that my Amazon pay balance also got expired worth 651 rupees with no reminder or alerts.

Actually speaking to a person at Amazon proves impossible. It required multiple links and entries to be able to speak to someone. My questions was rather simple. I have a manufacturer coupon for $7 off a product I want to order and have ordered previously. I can use this coupon at a local retailer or through a mail order retailer but wanted to know if it could be used at Amazon. 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 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.

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.

In turn, this resulted in me receiving the items later than when I needed to make use of them for a work assignment.

My Amazon Prime account was hacked, and an expensive iPad was shipped to a person out-of-state, completely unknown to me. This item is masked in my Order History, and I did not receive any emails notifying me of this order. Thank goodness for American Express, they denied the charge, but meanwhile Amazon closed my account. They take no responsibility for the hacking, and no responsibility for their lack of security. Customer Service was terrible, long wait times, no one communicating with me unless I called and insisted on speaking with a manager. They cannot explain the hacking, they do not apologize for the lack of security, they more or less shrug their shoulders and move on. This is a company drowning in money with no knowledge of how to directly interact with the customer.

Ordered off of Amazon Prime...Promised next day shipping and 4 days later still didn’t have product. Checked the shipping site and it kept saying it should be here today. Called Amazon and they proceed to tell me the package has been lost and they will just refund the money. Nice that they let me know that it wasn’t coming. I have a child that has been waiting patiently every day for a product that’s not even gonna be here now.???

I put items in my basket. Stop for a cup of coffee. Resume shopping for find. The price of some of the items that are in my cart just went up, or you get information that although you have a certain item in your cart, all of a sudden we are out of stock. What does Amazon do, carry one of each item. This happens a lot as with price increase. I tried calling Amazon's so called customer service... you've got it...OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I cannot understand them. Shopping locally, at least I will have the items. And KNOW what I paid. Now, off to FACEBOOK!

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.
