I ordered 2 kid's books for my goddaughter on September 09, 2016. It is now October 20, 2019 and they still haven't been delivered. I called a few days ago and was told they would be delivered by Friday, September 19. I called today and was told they would be delivered sometime next week. The delivery fee was as costly as the books. I told them to cancel the order, as I will NEVER use Amazon again. In checking the order on iParcel, the books went from the US to an overseas company before being sent back to the US. What kind of delivery service is this??? I suppose this is a way of getting customers to order with expedite delivery as this is MUCH more profitable for them. GOODBYE, AMAZON!!!

Second time, I was directed to Amazon by another website, as I was looking for shoes. The shoes I chose were less than $35, and I was directed to buy a little more for free shipping. So I chose some socks and was told I was getting free shipping. When I reviewed the order, I found that I was getting free shipping on the socks and being charged $6.97 on the shoes! Try to send them an email! Forget it. And most of their prices are higher than Walmart for the same brands.

Who still buy from Amazon? Lol. Don’t let them fool you please. Their prices are way higher than in other stores! Some goods are just fakes. Customer service is the worst! They treat you like trash because you are hooked. Amazon Prime isn’t worth it at all. Just give you additional headache.

15 October 2018 I booked Pigeon By Stovekraft Favourite Induction Base Aluminium Pressure Cooker with Outer Lid, 3 Litres (Silver). It's in one day delivery. But after 3 days the product is not delivered. When contact the executive he promise to deliver within 48 Hrs. Now the product is returned. This time executive behaviour is very bad. The executive said, "If you need the product go for another booking." Amazon is giving fake promises to customers in offer period. They are not responsible for anything. They treat customers like a **. Totally disappointed with Amazon. It's totally worst service. Don't purchase in Amazon.

Please DO NOT buy any product from Amazon.in, I had a pathetic experience. I ordered for a queen size bed and received a book shelf. I called the customer care several times and after which they told me that they will arrange for a return with below terms: 1. The product that I actually ordered will not be shipped back as the offers ended. 2. My money would be refunded back within 5 business days once the return is completed. Why should I wait for my refund for no mistake of mine? If Amazon is really customer centric they should have been wise enough to apologize for the blunder and resent my actual product which I ordered. Instead they talk about policies and procedures!!!

For the last three years, I get billed for Amazon Prime in October even though I canceled it 3 years ago. Every time I call their horrendous customer service line and spend 20 minutes getting them to refund my money. They do this but I should have to deal with this every year. They tell me every time that I won't be billed again but that's never the case. If you want to lose customers then you're doing a great job because you just lost my business.

Amazon India has plenty of products, and it’s the best, trustful online provider in India. But they also have the worst delivery department. I have had good delivery experiences but sometimes you get the worst. I ordered for a monitor on 14th of October, Sunday. I opted for two-day delivery. The item reached the final delivery station on Tuesday noon, But they didn't deliver it. On Wednesday, I tried to chat with them over the issue and they said it was rush time and told me to wait for the evening. It didn't come. Then after some talking with them, they made the delivery team pick up the delivery and deliver it that day itself before 9 pm.
But that delivery person just reported back that I couldn't be contacted and canceled it. The following 3 days I contacted them more than 3 times each day and still not useful. They each promise delivery on the same day or within the next 24 hours. But all the promises are a lie. I haven't been delivered yet. I counting on the last person he has promised for the delivery within 6 pm today or I have to go through refund or replacement. Hope they deliver the product in one piece.

Amazon is #1 in my shopping experience. I think they should be charged with making shopping experience way too pleasant. I go to my local malls and stores and unfortunately can't get service anywhere near the service I receive through Amazon. I could just shop all day without having to go anywhere and product arrives at my doorstep two days later. Returns are no hassle. I highly recommend Amazon Prime to anyone wanting a top notch shopping experience. Their customer support team is top notch! Can't say enough good things about Amazon.

Amazon cancelled Prime after 5 months! When we got our credit card bill, we checked off all the bills. All were accounted for except a $12.99 one from Amazon Prime. We did not buy anything near that date or anything for that amount. After calling Amazon, they checked both of our email accounts and determined it was fraud. That is all they said. Then they said they had to cancel our membership. They were going to issue a refund of $13. 66! We did not ask for a refund or a cancellation of our Prime. All we wanted them to do was to remove a charge that they know that we did not make.
They said we can get prime back. That meant that we can give them a $129 and get another year. Or if there is another charge that appears on our bill after two or three months again, what is stopping them from cancelling it again before the end of the year. Understand, we have made hundreds of dollars worth of charges on Amazon, and we are talking about a $12 bill. So, if you are thinking of getting Amazon Prime, then don't be surprised if there is a charge that you didn't make and then they can cancel your Prime and you can give them even more money to get it again. I would rather pay to get my stuff somewhere else even if it ends up costing more or taking longer. Amazon has soured me for good!!

I have been a Prime member for a couple of years now. I order off of Amazon very often and until the last couple of days I have been extremely impressed with their customer service. I had 100 percent confidence my package would arrive on time and as per instruction. Lately this has not been the case and when I called to inquire it seemed like I was not dealing with the same company.
The customer service reps could not and were not answering my questions. I was getting told that my order was lost, did I want a refund to it, is on the truck and will be there at 8 am. When it did not arrive at 8 am I called and was told that I should not have been given that guarantee. Then to make my experience even worse I was told to call the delivery company myself!
Today when I was ordering something on checkout I chose the Prime same day free delivery option. When I got my confirmation the invoice stated Monday as the guaranteed date. When I called to inquire about the discrepancy I was told that Prime members are only and have only ever been offered 2 day free delivery. And that at that it wasn't guaranteed, that depending on the delivery company that could change. I asked to cancel my order and was told they couldn't. It was already shipped. (3 minutes after I placed the order???) When I went into my account the order was sitting there not shipped with the cancel option still available and I canceled it no problem myself. What is going on??? How does a company like that go from superb service to below substandard in just a couple of weeks?

I am disappointed that my account has been blocked now, since we have been posting orders as they have been received. Some orders have been returned to us in Australia, as we have notified that deliveries have been attempted, but in some circumstances the customer has not picked up the item from their local post office where it's then been returned it to us. We have a delivery guarantee with our courier service that allows us to repost an order if it is returned by the courier services at no additional cost. We have been doing this when we received the returns, but as soon as I sent a message to the customer to inform him, a warranty claim is opened and the claim is issued in their favor. This is very unfair to me since I already reposted the item to the client. The messengers do not allow a package to be redirected after it has been published.
This means that I lose the Amazon order, the payment of the order, the item I bought and the shipping cost. The client benefits, since he then receives an Amazon refund as well as the article that I have reposted. When they see that they already receive a refund, they are given the free item. Even when appealing these cases, with the new tracking information, Amazon closes the case and reimburses the buyer. As an Australian business, this is becoming very difficult to maintain when all guarantees claim refunds from buyers are authorize in their favour almost immediately and when appealing we don't seem to have the matter resolved. We've lost over $4000 over the past 3 months due to Amazon refunding buyers claims while the item is in transit to be delivered to the buyer!!!

Amazon Prime used to work well for me. (I ordered several items nearly every week.) But over the last few months the service has declined a lot: Once I place an order, they often predict delivery later than advertised on the product page. The "Track Your Delivery" reports from the Amazon delivery company AMZL_US are meaningless: just random selections from a menu. Some actual deliveries have been long after the predicted date, with no warning. Now I do research on Amazon, but try to order from someone else.

I ordered some items last month for my grandson's birthday this month. I don't have Prime and don't want it as I don't order enough to make it worth the extra expense. So what I do is to make sure I spend enough on eligible items for regular free shipping. Well guess what! They charged my bank account for Prime this month saying I signed up for Prime trial and didn't cancel it. I didn't sign up!!! The eight days it was supposed to take was fine since his birthday was this month! They insist that I signed up for it by accepting Prime 2 day shipping, but I know I was expecting the item in about 8.
Just so you understand, I was being careful because they have done this before. Obviously there is something wrong with their system if you can sign up and not know it! Their customer service said I will get the money back in 3 to 5 days, but after reading some of the reviews here, I don't believe it at all! And why is it so hard to find their customer service number (866-216-1072)? I am calling my bank tomorrow to file fraudulent charges with them! Personally I no longer trust Amazon!

I am convinced that Amazon shows one date for delivery at purchase and then changes it without letting you view the actual, original order to verify the change. I was shown a date of the 16th at order, which seemed to justify the high shipping cost (I paid for the quick delivery that never happened). Now it claims it said the 19th, but will be here tomorrow, the 17th. I know I wouldn't have bought it, paid 1/3 more of the cost of the item to have it shipped in 5 days, because I could walk to get it faster than that. Of course, their terrible customer service acted as if it was their first day (on Earth) and was useless.

Up to this point I’ve been impressed with Amazon customer service. They seemed to care about their customers, especially if you’re a Prime member, and were always quick to refund my money for any issues with the product. That’s where the caring stops though...today I had an issue with a high-value purchase I was about to make. Right as I was about to purchase the price jumped from $300 to almost $600. Absolutely ridiculous! Thinking they’d want to make this right, still make a sale and keep me as a customer, I called them and requested them to price match their prior price. The agent checked with several of her superiors, then verified with me that the item wasn’t a lighting deal (it wasn’t), then came back and said sorry, prices are subject to change. It was obvious she COULD have made a price change, but someone higher up told her not for this case. I feel disrespected and betrayed. Considering canceling my Prime membership.

Just want to share my latest experience with Amazon... Will never place another order with this company. They promise delivery by a specific date and never deliver on time. I placed several orders in the past two months and have had to call them about not receiving the items. Their ridiculous response to my phone calls proved to be an exhausting experience. I have had numerous conversations with their supervisory staff and not one of them can answer a simple question... WHERE IS MY ORDER...
Responses included it was at the wrong warehouse... the driver could not find the location, strange since I have been at the same address for the past 10 years and UPS never had a problem, perhaps they need to give their new delivery people phones so they can use Mapquest, and the best one was that they could not deliver the merchandise because October 14th was a holiday and the building was closed... DID I MISS THE HOLIDAY?... Little did I know that my private residence was being used commercially. Merchandise could probably arrive in a more timely fashion if delivered by “a horse and buggy”. Beware guaranteed delivery dates that Amazon offers to Prime members. With their new Amazon Logistics System for delivery, you may have to wait until the twelfth of never... Shop your local stores and screw Amazon...

Then the problem starts. Repacked stickers on box as directed. Went to post office $382 US Dollars to return this to the USA. Got hold of Amazon. Told they will send a prepaid ticket. Did not arrive. Asked again and was told they could not do that. I had to pay the $382 to return it and they will refund the postage... Yeah right. Why would they do that?

What was taken out was the same amount that was already charged on my credit card. So I’m double charged. I called customer service and was put on hold while he figures it out. On hold again to apologize to talk to his “leader” and was put on hold again and again and again. They couldn’t figure it out and now has to be handed in 1-2 business days by the billing department. It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. The balance missing was the exact amount that was already charged on my visa the day before and I received my product cause I used Amazon Prime. The exact amount missing on the gift card!!! So just give me the missing amount and put it back on my card!!!
I redeemed the gift card amount today, and Amazon can see that I didn’t purchase anything today! The only purchase was the night before!!! And the amount of the purchase was the exact amount missing on my gift card balance!!! Why is it so hard!!! The amount of my gift card should not have been deducted in the first place when I haven’t made a purchase today. I was all ready to check out with my new order using my gift card and that’s how I noticed the amount difference.

Amazon always shipped pretty fast & has decent prices. But the fact I'm censored on Amazon bothers me a great deal. I can purchase items on Amazon, my $ is good, but not my reviews? Get real, if they will not rectify this for me, I will not be returning to Prime next year. I'm no shill for anyone, those are my words & my words alone. I couldn't believe this crap they posted when I attempted to leave a review. "Sorry, we are unable to accept your review. You are no longer permitted to review products on Amazon because you have violated our Community Guidelines." Really, just SMH. Amazon is becoming more dystopic daily, it doesn't help you to crap on your customers. I've been with Amazon since 2004, this is how they treat me?! Time to maybe start looking elsewhere, Walmart & Target plan to compete with Amazon. Maybe I will join them if Amazon keeps treating me badly, like I don't matter...

I have been a Prime member for over 10 years, and I used to order almost everything on Amazon. It used to be convenient. But that seems to be coming to an end. Each time I had to deal with customer service has gotten worse over time. It has come to a point that their return policy is worse than any other department store, so why even bother with them when you can order same items, sometimes even better deals, and shipped at no cost - most retailers nowadays have free shipping anyways - Amazon Prime delivery of 2 days has barely even been true - always taking 3-4 days, but I never let it bother me much as long as I received the item.
However lately I have not been receiving correct items, and dealing with the returns has been a nightmare. I just got off the phone with an Amazon rep, who basically told me that he will issue me a warning for being rude on the phone. LOL. These people seriously need to sober up and get off the high horse... anyways, Amazon can take their Prime membership, and their politically correct products and, you know what haha... time to get back to basics. Can't wait to see these tech companies go belly up. :)

I find it interesting about book reviews that disappear. It appears that any book written by a Democrat or with democratic views that receives a poor review (one star) is deleted. If this is the way Amazon wants to conduct business don’t ask us to review products sold on your site.

I have been a Prime member since 2004 and order many products through Amazon weekly. I wanted to return a sweater that I purchased that is listed on Amazon as Prime and as Free Shipping/Return. The seller from China had to approve my return and then sent me a label telling me that I had to pay for shipping back to him. Uhm, No! I have been in contact with Amazon a few times via Chat to discuss to which they say they will look into it and will contact the seller. Nothing has happened. This has been going on for weeks now.
I called today to only connect with someone in India where the service rep could not find my account by my name which I spelled out over and over again. It's a simple name like Jane Doe practically. After arguing with the rep, I asked for a supervisor which he refused to connect me to and told me that I wasn't giving him the correct name. Uhm, Ok, No again, I've had the same name since the account was opened. He finally relented and said he would connect me to a supervisor and then hung up on me. Awesome! So it appears as if Amazon's Customer Service is going down the tubes. I will be looking for another service to handle my weekly orders.

This can't be serious. But it is. A stupid, dimwit Amazon policy will not allow customers to review a product unless they have spent at least 50 dollars on Amazon within the last year. How STUPID can they get? I just bought a product that is not as advertised. I went to make post a review on it to warn others. No go. I haven't spent 50 bucks so I can't review the product I just bought!! Talk about imbeciles. Somebody knock some sense into these idiots. They are braindead.

I never heard of this company, never ordered anything from them before. 1st customer service person barely spoke English and after 28 minutes I finally convinced her to transfer me to the charges dept. The person I spoke to there refused to give her name, refused to look at the third party transactions, refused to look up my card number or the amount I had been charged. She also accused me of lying and said I was just trying to get free stuff. I told her to cancel my entire order, she refused. After speaking with the third party seller, they found Amazon's transaction using my card number in less than 30 seconds. My bank is pursuing Amazon for fraudulent charges now.

Recently my Microsoft Edge got corrupted, so I had to change my browser and tried to login to Amazon account but this time with my usual security login and password, Amazon asked me for my credit card numbers as a security pass system. Are Amazon serious or just stupid. With online e-commerce being hacked and customers' information being stolen, Amazon wants me to give them my credit card numbers to be stored on their database. This is the reason why after each and every purchases, I make sure Amazon does not save my credit card information for convenience but now they are making it as part of login. I DO NOT want Amazon to keep my credit card numbers but without logging in, I cannot delete my account, so I called Amazon to do so.
Instead of a help, customer service agent and her supervisor told me that they are unable to do so and I’ll need to login to my account to delete my account… which means I’ll need to give them my credit card numbers. Amazon is holding my account and containing information as hostage until I give them my credit card numbers… As result, I filed a complaint with BBB. A day later, I received an email from Gayathri P., an Amazon representative, stating “Please understand that this is a part of our security check which we randomly do on accounts. We have policies and security measures in place to ensure that your personal information remains secure.”
Is this for real? Credit card numbers are top sought-out information hackers are scamming for, yet Amazon thought it was prudent or even half-** smart process? Amazon, I have been shopper of your site for years and often but whoever is in charge of security is complete idiot. I’m done with Amazon… so delete my account that contains any and every information regarding me… because I am not going to give you my credit card numbers… or business.

As an 18 year Amazon customer, imagine my surprise today when after one week I received an email from them. I had emailed a week ago asking why when trying to leave a review all it said was, "Oops something is wrong" in red letters. Today I find out I am no longer allowed to leave reviews for the rest of my Amazon life. Granted I left few reviews in comparison to what I purchase during the year. There was no explanation only a statement that said this decision is not reversible. There was no warning to tell me what it was that I wrote as my reviews are rather similar, I like something or did not. Apparently checking the web there are words or sentences you cannot use on the site that nobody knows about other than the computer algorithm.

All the addresses I have been at. The system would not accept the info. Supervisor tells me the same exact **. "I can't help you because of policy." If system doesn't accept the addresses that I gave then there's nothing she could do.

They can simply ask me any other verification option (birth date, location, SIN number, etc) but nooo. They just accept billing address.

By the time I received the Tablet, Got it to my client, Client used it and started to experience problems, it was less than 2 months time that had gone by. The wifi kept freezing up on trying to connect. How do I know? Went to Client with same exact device and tested both to see the problem with my own two eyes, not just any website, every website that a connection was initiated with.
Contacted Seller through Amazon for refund request. Within 15 minutes was contacted by seller to be told that (direct quote from email) "DataVision Computer Video has closed the return request listed below. Reason for the closure of your request: Expiration of returns period". Absolutely Awful Policy, Please be aware of making any purchases from this seller. Over the past 2 years I have spent thousands of dollars with this seller through Amazon. Have never had an issue like this with them.
However, it has become very clear that when they sell a defective product they expect the defect to take place within 30 days. Let's examine that timeline shall we. If you are an Amazon Prime customer you will get your items within 3 days. Now we are down to 27 days left. With regards to my business, the client will then receive the item in about 10 days. We are now down to 17 days left. 16 days left for defects to crop up and for you to have the ability to request a refund. GOOD LUCK!!
As for Amazon, you would think that a company who just recently became the second company to reach a trillion dollars in worth would be flexible to their clients and to assist them to resolve the issue. Think again, after the representative reiterated the policy and having me point out the timeline to him, he finally agreed to see what he can do. 7 minutes later, after being put on hold, he comes back, I hear "hello Sir" then dead silence. Looks like Amazon is on its way to becoming the first trillion dollar dinosaur.

Amazon retains any CC used to make a purchase on every account; regardless who makes said purchase, where said purchase is shipped, or who the listed CC user is. As an Amazon Prime Account holder and having an Amazon Card I expect that when I make a purchase, the default is my Amazon account, not that of any other who might have made a one time purchase. If someone makes a purchase on your account, you must then go into your account settings and delete their information, because Amazon has, without any authorization, taken their information and applied it to your account. Further, from this point forward, you must now select payment methods. Unbeknownst to me, the CC of another was being charged for my purchases, thus initiating a series of problems with two households and 3 financial institutions; that's a serious design flaw in MIS "Management Information Systems" for such a prolific organization.
Then, to correct the situation, once discovered, I am required to jump through hoops and deal with their failure or success, be the design flaw intentional or due to lack of consideration. Beyond that, Amazon Customer Service (who you have to speak with) and the Account Specialists (who actually resolves the matter) have no capability of directly communicating, per their repeated statements, only via a ticket/order system like email. And, the Account Specialists refuse to communicate with the customer directly, they send emails with fragments of information and request personal information via email that should send up red flags to anyone who knows anything about IT protocol and security.

This year has been quite an eye-opener for my family and its use of Amazon Prime. First off the price increase of 33% seemed very steep, but we bit the bullet as we buy stuff almost daily. But then the failure of things to show up on time began. To date, this year, seven orders that were guaranteed two-day delivery items or sooner, have failed to show up on time and some have been several days late. Tonight was the tipping point for me. On 10/1 I ordered one item with "next day" delivery and another with two day. On 10/2 I get an email that they are "processing" my order and will "let me know when it's on the way." I figure, same old, same old.
Yesterday the order shows as "shipped" but no email or message was sent, I just checked on their website which told me that the the items I ordered, one which was already 24 hour past due, would arrive tomorrow by 9 pm... Oh brother... okay... what can you do, right? So today I'm all ready to get my stuff and what do you know, still no message, but the website now says... "Once again Amazon Prime screws the pooch..." Purchased a couple of items two days ago (10/1), one of which was guaranteed NEXT DAY delivery. Well, what do you know? That didn't happen, then again it didn't come yesterday but don't worry, it will be there for sure today by 9 pm (10/4)...
"We're sorry your package is running late. We're working to get your package back on track, and we'll let you know when your package is out for delivery. Please come back Sunday if you still don't have it and we'll help you out. Was expected today." Sunday? What?... that's 10/7, six days late... really? This is what I paid $119.00/year for? It's little wonder Amazon doesn't prominently display a Customer Service number. It would be worse than trying to get somebody from SS on the line. So anyway, this has been my ongoing experience with Amazon Prime. Paying to join, then paying up to 50% more for the same non-prime items, only to not get the service you paid for in the first place. Fool me once... shame on me... It won't happen again.

Amazon, since you intend on opening a second HQ in the US, please do your customers a favor and move customer service back here too! Also, as long as you've outsourced it to a foreign country, and one that is clearly not well-versed in this culture and how to speak to people to help RESOLVE issues rather than partly create more, it would be appreciated if you took the time to train both frontline reps as well as "supervisors" in how to adequately answer and/or de-escalate a complaint. I ordered my product on Friday with a Sunday by 9 pm delivery date. I live in an apt complex and during the day, I saw that my downstairs neighbor had their package delivered because I nearly tripped on it as I was coming up the stairs to my apt.
By 7 pm, I came home and saw my package was still not delivered; checked my phone to track it and it said it was still out for delivery. I thought this odd since it would make sense it was the same person who delivered for my neighbor would also walk up one flight and deliver mine but... by 8:30, I checked the online tracker again and it said it was delivered at 4:53 to and "your package was left in the mail room".
I was furious because they did not update the tracking in real time and then they did not deliver it to my door which is one of the bonuses of having Amazon deliver -- they bring it to your door and you're not stuck having to track your package down, especially if you live where the management office regularly disregards sending an email to residents advising there was a package delivered and PS: WHY ARE SOME PACKAGES DELIVERED TO DOORS AND OTHERS ARE NOT, AMAZON??? When I called their "customer service" number to ask, the frontline person sounded like a broken record telling me she was sorry and asking if I checked my mailroom?
When I asked to speak with a supervisor, she initially told me she would call me back tomorrow because her system was not allowing her to process a credit tonight and would that be "ok" with me -- I said "no" and asked again to speak with a supervisor; I don't think I stutter... this "supervisor" gets on the phone and proceeds to tell me that when a driver picks up packages from the processing facility, it's scanned into the system as "delivered".
I called him out on this immediately as a lie and ** and reiterated how this is not my first package from Amazon I've had delivered and that has never been the case and asked him what the policy for deliveries are and he continued to tow the standard line of this lie.

I am an avid Amazon user, and that will not change. I have Prime, a Kindle, and I probably do average 4 orders a week. I received the remaining item in a recent order today, my Vit. D dummies. There were three other items in the box. The first was soft, and I foolishly just opened it. It came in an Amazon box. It was some kind of insulation. There was one more like it, and there was a bag of gelatinous liquid. All three were in white bags with no markings, barcodes, inventory numbers, nothing... just white bags. I called Amazon about this, because it was concerning, and the first agent I spoke to just kept asking me if I got the vitamins after at least 20 times of telling him yes. He was going to put me on hold, and my response was, "Have someone above you pick up the line." He was still trying to solve the vitamins which are sitting right in front of me.
Then I got a supervisor, at least I think. She asked me about every item in my order. I said the order had been fulfilled in its entirety, but I was calling about the three blank white bags. Her advice to me was to open the bag of gelatinous liquid, and if I could use it I could keep it. What moron tells a customer to open a liquid filled white bag that has no name, skew number, or barcode?
In this day and age, that is the worst answer I could think of her giving. So, then I had to think. If I ran water, turned on the garbage disposal, and cut a small hole in the bag right over the disposal, perhaps I would not blow up or die instantly from chemical warfare. I could of dumped it down to the dumpster, but when it got smashed in the truck, it may harm 2-3 completely unsuspecting people. Or if it made it to the landfill, and a bulldozer ruptured it, it could spread through the air and possibly hurt thousands. I chose option 1. 1 damaged human is better than hundreds or thousands. Luckily, nothing happened, but what idiot tells you to open an unmarked bag full of liquids? Especially now? My only hope was that the call was recorded.

I feel that Amazon has been going downhill for the past couple years. Prime used to be worth it in that two day shipping actually meant two day shipping. But now it is 4 day at best. Recently I went to return something that didn’t work and found that there is now apparently a 30 day return window that was never there before. And now the straw that broke the camel’s back was a bed frame that I ordered on Prime 2 day shipping on the 19th, with guaranteed delivery, Friday the 21st. And it’s now 10 pm on the 24th with no hope.
The shipping info keeps changing from “out for delivery” twice, to “sorry it wasn’t delivered” to “damaged, will attempt delivery” to “sorry it wasn’t delivered, contact Amazon.” When I tried contacting Amazon, which I’m pretty sure was a computer, I just got, “it will be delivered as early as possible, here is a five dollar credit.” Why would I want something that has been damaged and how much longer would I want to wait for a mystery delivery while sleeping on the floor?? They recently increased their yearly fee for Prime. And I’m now paying MORE per year for this?? Makes no sense.

I had pre-ordered items from Amazon.com in 2 separate orders a month in advance before the items release date. A week before expected release date/shipping time I get an email telling me they can't fulfill the order as the items are no longer available. How is that possible when I've pre-ordered a month in advance which they gave as an option at purchase?! Then when I live chatted a representative they tried to sell me the same items from a private seller at more than double the cost plus a new delivery cost, no longer offering the free delivery as it's now coming from private sellers. An absolutely terrible shopping experience!

Amazon, you have got to properly train the customer service reps. How are they working customer service but do not want to help? I just wasted 40 minutes of my life, explaining a problem to someone I had to try extremely hard to understand but couldn’t afford me the same effort. I know that at some point he gave up and started being funny. Eventually, I told him that I did not feel like playing games anymore and to transfer me. He knew he had the power and instead of transferring me, he continued to play games with me until he was done, then transferred me to someone who automatically had an attitude with me due to the prior encounter of course.
I needed help with apparently was a profile issue (I know this because that is all both men said the entire time) instead of walking me through it or pointing me towards a link (at least Apple would’ve given me a link), they continue to tell me: "You are under the same profile. You need a new profile. You cannot play your own game you have to share." It was a mess and I believe they enjoyed the back and forthness. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

Amazon Prime members have been lured into free shipping with subscriptions but no one is watching to ensure we receive quality goods that we deserve.

The only reason to use Amazon is because it's simple. That being said, they make outlandish guarantees of 1, 2 or even same day shipping and upon purchasing you are given a "guaranteed delivery date". To people who speak English, you'd think that this means it will definitely arrive on or before that date. However, several times now I have had a package show up late or not show up at all (even though it was marked as delivered in their delivery tracker).
When I called customer service, they said that it could still be out for delivery up to 3 days after the "guaranteed date" and that I can't even request a refund/reship until *2-3 days after the guaranteed delivery date* even when it has already been marked delivered by their delivery men. My question is what's the point of a guarantee if the guarantor does not even hold itself accountable. I'm also working on a theory that they mark my package as delivered even when it isn't, so that they can maintain dishonest success ratings on their expedited "prime" deliveries.

My Amazon Prime app on my iPhone SE will no longer scroll down to customer service option that enables opting out of spam marketing emails.

Apparently Amazon has updated their t&c when you download the app to default of yes to allow marketing emails, and they have modified app to make it difficult to opt out without calling and obtaining secret unpublished link. Amazon should be ashamed for charging prime customers a fee to be advertised to. They are becoming no different than a subscription to cable tv who charges you for receiving commercials.

What you buy and its quality are not reviewed here. The Amazon delivery system has broken down as well as the customer service department. It used to be a no hassle gold standard, but no longer. Now you can wait a week or two and still not get your package. The delivery messages are lies for example, "Customer refused delivery" when that did not happen. In my case all my packages are always left at my front door. I am never home for deliveries and that has never been a problem. Now Amazon justifies the lack of delivery on me. Then another reason is "Undeliverable" when I have received hundreds of deliveries up until now at this same address. My point is that consumers are now in an era of no solutions and unreasonable expectations. Prime might promise 2 day delivery, but that ain't going to happen.

I had to notify Amazon and they responded in two days with a canned response that the breach happened away from their systems (basically telling me it was taken by a key logged or something I did). This was definitely not the case because I received over a dozen emails of the individual trying to get a code before he was successful (I suspect by calling into support since they don’t use any secure information to identify you). Amazon offered no insight on how they made that determination not that they took my situation seriously at all.

The Add-on program allows Amazon to offer low-priced items that would be cost-prohibitive to ship on their own, since they have few "brick and mortar" stores of their own to which they could deliver for customer pickup. These "add on" items ship with qualifying orders accumulating over $25. In many cases, this means you MUST accumulate purchases totaling $25 or more. Or else you cannot order the item you want. This does not apply to all Amazon orders...just the ones that are "Add on". So instead of buying stuff I don't need at the moment to aggregate $25, I went to WalMart online and purchased the same item... With NO shipping costs as I can pick up the items at my local store with no shipping charge... At a lower price to boot! WalMart is going to EAT AMAZON up! (Investors take notice.)

Amazon is not the first website that I would order an item from. Amazon has a tendency to deliver packages days after it was scheduled for delivery. Sometimes they don’t even ship your package until the day that it was supposed to be delivered to you. If it’s an important item that you drastically need in a hurry I suggest shopping somewhere else. They are sometimes very unreliable, their customer service can use some improvement, and their delivery times are usually unpredictable to say the least.
I ordered lights to decorate my dorm room off of Amazon and I never received my order from them. When I first ordered it they told me that it would come within 4 to 5 business days: however, that was not the case. My lights did not ship until the 4th day of me waiting for them. I waited a couple days to see if my package would come. After about three days of not receiving my “shipped” package I decided that it was time to take matters into my own hands. I first called the delivery company that was supposed to drop off my package and they said that they never got a package for my address or name. I then decided to email Amazon and they replied back saying that my item was shipped to the postal service that would be delivering it. Although, they said that my items were shipped I still did not receive them days later so I decided to call the company to and find out why.
The first time I gave them a call I was on hold for at least 30 minutes waiting to talk to a representative. After being on hold for a significant amount of time, I was told that there were no available representatives to talk to at that time and that I should call the next day. The next day when I called I was on hold for a while but I finally got to talk to someone about my order. I was told that my order had been sent back because of an unknown error. I never got an email or notification saying that the order that I have been waiting on for weeks was sent back. When I asked why my order got sent back the representative told me that she was not sure why but sometimes it just happens.
When I asked for my money she told me that I had to email Amazon or go to the website and click on “about refunds” and ask back for my money there. So I emailed Amazon and asked them for a refund due to the fact that my package got canceled but I never got my money back. The next day they emailed me and said they would refund me my money back within 24 hours of my initial email. I waited for the money but it never went back into my account so I emailed them again and this time they didn’t respond until days later saying that, once again, they would send my money back to me.
After not receiving my money a second time I just decided not to worry about it and just decided to be cautious of where and what I buy online. Next time I know not to rely on Amazon so much for my online shopping. Next time I know to be cautious and what sites I shop on. If you do decide to shop on Amazon just be mindful of what you get and who the seller is that you are getting the product from.

Amazon used to be one of my favorite places to shop. It had everything I needed, conveniently ready to go, often for far cheaper than competitors. Recently though, this seems to be the case less and less. Paying for prime, (which is NOT cheap), my prime 'privileges' seem to mean less and less every day. I'm not sure Amazon even gives an entire month before they close the return window...something I am PAYING for by the way with Prime, and that window has come up more and more often as just about anyone can sell on Amazon, with no quality checks or references, and I have gotten all kinds of crap that is totally incorrectly described, doesn't work, is in bad condition, you name it. This used to be a one-off experience, but now it seems to be the norm. I am so fed up with this company.
I was increasingly irritated by their lack of ethics, but now even as a customer, I really feel like I'm not even getting my money's worth. There are so many other companies out there now that offer things like free-shipping, it's not really such an incentive for me to use Amazon for this reason anymore. Additionally, although they have many choices, it seems like the quality decreases more and more. There are many choices...of cheap crap! I feel like, as someone who actually wants my money to be used in meaningful ways, I am actually doing myself a DISSERVICE by continuing with this horrible company.

Several of my orders have been totally lost, or incredibly delayed, or even come WAY too early, before I was even at the proper spot, which has caused all kinds of issues. Trying to deal with customer service is on par with a trip to the dentist.

I have been a customer of Amazon's for many years; I am also a Prime member as well. In the last year I have experienced severe delays, in shipments, from the OnTrac carrier that they are now using. I have complained to OnTrac and to Amazon, repeatedly about this severe issue. OnTrac always tells me that they are having an issue with the driver, or that they don't know where the shipment is. They tell me that they will call me back and they never do. Amazon told me they would use another carrier and they used USPS one, or two times and then they reverted back to using OnTrac again. They continually tell me, "There is nothing that we can do." Over and over and over and over again I get told that OnTrac is taking care of the problem and yet they never do. I get told that Amazon has no control over their carriers. I get told that there is NO solution at all.
So, the bottom line is that I am a Prime member who is paying for a 1-2 day delivery guarantee and I am continually receiving my shipments days, to a week late. And still I am repeatedly told that there is NOTHING that Amazon can do about it. OnTrac is a carrier that does not deliver shipments on time and continually has problems with their drivers/deliveries, etc. and therefore I do not want Amazon to use them to deliver my Prime deliveries to me, because they never get here on time. It should be pretty simple for Amazon to find a solution for me, but they do not care to do that.
I am beyond frustrated and disgusted at the total lack of concern for my continual problem with OnTrac and Amazon. Amazon used to have amazing customer service, but now it seems that they have gotten so big that they find it a totally normal response to say to a long-term customer, that there is nothing that they can do about the problem at hand. They can take my money for Prime to deliver my shipments in 1-2 days and they can contract with a sub-par carrier to deliver my shipments to me late and then do NOTHING about it... repeatedly???

I have been using Amazon Prime for a while now and was loving it. Next best thing to getting something from a brick and mortar, and in some cases thanks to what used to be guaranteed 2 day shipping, it was actually better. Over the past 30 plus days though I can no longer make that claim. Order after order is delayed by days or even weeks now. My last order has been a nightmare and Amazon has reordered this item for me a 3rd time now! This item was a calculator I needed over a week ago that was sold and delivered by Amazon Prime.
I think they may have switch to an internal delivery service to save money. If that's the case, I can say confidently that this is the most inept carrier service I have ever come across. Repeated delays in shipping lead times, items not showing up when expect, or at all. Apparently the first package was reported destroyed by the carrier when it was out for delivery. Probably not going to renew my Amazon membership now, no point. Can we just go back to the brick and mortar stores please?

On or about August 3, 2018 my Amazon account was hacked. I was on vacation at the time on the East Coast USA. When I returned home on August 7, I contacted customer service. I was told my account could not be found. The rep was unable to provide me with much info and I was told I would get an email on resetting my password. August 9th, no email, I call again. This time I am able to glean more info. There have been purchases made which I have not made. There has also been a two step verification set up on this account which I have not done. So the hackers were able to steal my account and secure it! With this information, I closed all my payment accounts associated with Amazon. As I found out this was after they racked up $700 against my Amazon store card.
I called on 8/13, 8/15, 8/27, 8/29, 9/3. All with no resolve to my account. On my last call I ended up speaking to two supervisors. Mid call on both they suddenly could not hear me. Nothing has been resolved. I have lost hundreds of videos and Kindle books. I don't know where else to go to assure my old account can be closed permanently since they do not believe me that I did not set up the authentication procedure. I am amazed with as big as Amazon is that they have been so deficient in resolving my issue. If there was a competitor to Amazon, they would be getting my business.

I purchase many Kindle eBooks - Lately I've been receiving several promotional credits based on my purchases. I can't find these credits anywhere in my account. When contacting AMZ CS, I find I have other credits but had no idea I had them and they could not tell me how to see them or how to use them.

How can a company apply credits and keep them SECRET!! Ridiculous feel good scam.

My wife has an account with Amazon.com. I don't need an account, as she shares hers with me. My complaint is that they do not care about where they put our deliveries. My concern is that if they just leave the package at the top of the stairs, (as they ALWAYS do) everyone will assume: A: We are not home and therefore an open place to rob. or B: They see the package there (we live in a senior mobile home park) and figure it's easy pickings for them to take. Now we've had packages stolen that were left for us by FedEx and other delivery services before, so I'm not just some fussbudget. We contacted those services and told them to leave the stuff in a big, closed wicker basket on our porch. They all comply and nothing has been stolen since.
My wife and I have called Crapazon over 8 times and asked them to ring the bell first, and if no answer, to put it in the basket. NOT ONCE have their drivers done this. They don't ring the bell. They just throw the damned thing on the porch. I just don't get it! Do these people care or do they have so much business that if they lose a customer here and there it doesn't matter. Does anyone know why they don't care? Anyways, thanks for at least letting me vent this off. We'll probably not use these morons anymore after all this BS anyway.

Amazon is large enough to not care about customer service. Lately, it's all gotten worse & we as business owners are starting to feel the pain of poor service or not good quality of goods. They don't care if they lose business owners due to poor shipping services or sellers on their site scamming customers. For every one they lose, they just gain another. They also don't improve their mobile app from being slow, encountering errors, can't add to cart, etc. Not to mention it's not Free 2 day shipping anymore. In addition, their Amazon Prime Membership perks including music & video is NOT worth the money. Look elsewhere. Too much competition nowadays.

I wanted to buy some new headphones so I wrote a note on my phone with some specs of what was needed. This is the only place where this information was written down, I never searched anywhere online and I did not have a conversation with anyone about it. A few days later, I receive an email from Amazon with a link to their site and a list of all the headphones which met these specs! The email was sent to my address which does not have an Amazon account associated with it. The address is, however, connected to my phone. And yes it was definitely a link to the real Amazon website.
Whenever I tried to contact Amazon they just send me template emails saying they cannot help as I do not have an account with them. Very frustrating and what's more, they did not deny that they had tracked my phone. It is scary that nothing we do is private anymore. I never gave consent from Amazon or any company to behave that way and now I won't be using them again as I do not want to fund this unethical and disturbing behavior.

I submitted my review about a knockoff PopSocket that Amazon sent and they refused to post my review. They provide a generic reasoning that my review didn’t follow their guidelines. I think they’re trying to silence consumers. Beware of their reviews cause they definitely pick and choose what they post. So If you’re buying a PopSocket from Amazon, beware. They could be sending you a knockoff even though they show pictures of the official item. Here’s the original review on the black PopSocket I purchased:
"I ordered what I thought would be an official PopSocket, but I got a knockoff. I did not get what was pictured. I included pictures of the black PopSocket I ordered on Amazon compared to an official PopSocket I bought from a store. The Amazon black PopSocket came in a ziplock bag. When collapsed, the knockoff is much thicker than the real PopSocket. Also the base of the knockoff is shiny without any branding, which is not the same as an official PopSocket that has a matte finish and it’s branding. The seller of the knockoff is “Sold By: asgvbddfher.” If you’re looking for the real thing, be wary of this seller.

Apparently Amazon has started using Amazon Logistics drivers, which I assume are Amazon employees, to deliver packages rather than UPS, FedEx, or USPS. I had two orders that were to be delivered on the same day to two different addresses. BOTH packages were too big to fit inside a mailbox & were left propped up (one against the mailbox post & one against a private drive sign) right beside the street. Anyone could have stolen the packages. When I found out about the first package being left propped up against the mailbox post at the street, I immediately called Amazon to complain and express my concern about the second package I was expecting that was still in transit.
Amazon Customer Service added delivery instructions for the second package to be brought to the house & not left at the street. The tracking information for the first package (that was left propped up against a mailbox post) indicated the package was delivered to a "secure location", which was a lie. The tracking information for the second package (that had instructions added to deliver the package to the house) indicated the package was delivered per instructions, which was another lie (these packages were delivered by the same driver).
I have called Amazon Customer Service to complain again, but felt I needed to post the feedback publicly to make other buyers aware that the logistics delivery drivers, or at least the one that delivered both of my packages, do not follow specific delivery instructions and leave packages propped up by the street instead of delivering to the residence. I've never had this problem with packages shipped via UPS, USPS, or FedEx.

The day of the delivery which was yesterday I started watching the map tracker around 5PM, said there was 81 stops on the way to my address. The stupid part was that map tracker showed the van literally down the street from me. I watched and watched how the van went further and further away from me. By around 8PM it finally said 4 stops away and by 9PM it said my package wasn't going to be delivered that day. Are you serious??? I watched this person go from a street down from me to nowhere near me. I watched this person driving go back and forth to places they already delivered packages to.
Now current day, I started watching the map tracker at 10 AM and it's now 3:20PM and I've watched this driver go by my house several times and not going down my street. Once again I've watched this person go to one location then drive to another then go back to the previous location. This person is driving in a U and avoiding the middle which is my house. It's like they don't have a specific route to follow, they just drive wherever.

Some things do really get delivered in 2 days, but most of the time, when I order parts (and yes, I did order on my Prime acct), they come in 4-5 days which is no faster than eBay. In fact, the promised Sunday delivery has NEVER been Sunday - in fact, if I order on Friday and expect delivery on Sunday - normally, the item isn't even shipped until Monday! (or Saturday at best).

Tonight driver called me and said he couldn't enter building so he can't bring package then hung up on me when I told him the only area in the entire complex that is locked is the office being that it was after 7pm. I told him all he had to do was look for my apt number on outside of building get out of car, come upstairs and find apt number on door. He did not, he left and update status that he could not enter building. This is an open complex.
There are no gate, locks or codes anywhere except on our unit (apt) doors of course. Nowhere else. I have been a customer of Amazon for so long and have never experience this kind of inconvenience, and 2 weeks in a row with a driver that refuse to deliver packages to door and would leave with package because community leasing office is closed and it's easier for them to just leave packages there. I don't live in the leasing office, and I EXPECTED same day delivery with both orders. Then when I called customer service, there is no way for them to get in contact with their drivers.
Even after explaining to rep what happened and there are no locks or codes to enter building, it's as simple as walking up the stairs and knocking on the door, they still sent me email stating driver couldn't get into buIlding and I must provide code or delivery instructions for successful delivery.

I've been an Amazon Prime member for some time now. Within the past 6 months most notably, they have completely failed to uphold their services stated in the membership details for two day shipping. More and more orders started coming late, sometimes a day, sometimes a few, sometimes a week or more, some were never delivered at all. I warn you now - DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A PRIME MEMBERSHIP WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THE TWO DAY SHIPPING THEY PROMISE. On their website, it only lists that there may be delays if an item is out of stock, or if you order a large quantity. The items I have problems with never are.
When you bring this up to their customer service, they will say "The two day shipping is only relating to the time in transit" When you tell them you've always gotten it in two days up until this point, and nowhere on the website does it say they can take however long they like to process the order. They'll say "It says on the website that there could be potential delays for the item" when that doesn't apply.
When you tell them that, they will say "well it needed to come from a different warehouse" - an excuse completely illogical, as it coming from a different warehouse doesn't suddenly mean they need to wait around on the order to ship it out. It should still take only two days in transit, right? When you say that, they'll say "well it can take up to 3 days to process an order." When you refute that line of lies, and point out nowhere on the website does it say that, they'll start the circular argument all over anew. After pointing this all out relentlessly to another of their "customer service" employees, they sent me this:
"Please understand that even when the item is in stock there are times when the fulfillment center (the one near to your zip code from where the item was planned to ship) would not have it in stock. Because of which it needs to be supplied from a different fulfillment center which does take. There are multiple reasons why an item might be delayed, however, please note that two-day shipping doesn't mean that you place the order and it gets delivered in two days but it exactly takes two days to delivery after it ships out.
I realize you're upset, and I regret we've been unable to address your concerns to your satisfaction. However, we'll not be able to offer any additional insight or action on these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response." And they expect me to keep paying for a membership, WHICH THEY JUST INCREASED THE PRICE OF? No, I will not. Once this membership is up, the Amazon card I opened is getting cut up and thrown in the trash, and they will not have my money for their fraudulent business again.

Then I had to deal with returning the items to Amazon to get my money back. Then there are the orders that don't show up, or for which the delivery date is changed without notice, apology or compensation. Inevitably when I call Amazon, I'm given a "so sorry" by a rep who doesn't seem to understand the concept of "guaranteed."
Even worse, they frequently admit that Amazon is well aware that the companies and independent contractors they hire for deliveries are unreliable. If that's the case, then why do they continue to advertise "guaranteed" delivery date? Perhaps the most egregious is the inducement of next day delivery if one purchases a minimum of $35 in merchandise. When I've needed something quickly, I have bought unnecessary products just to meet the minimum so I can get my order the next day. But then the order doesn't arrive as promised, and when it finally does (IF it does), I'm stuck with stuff I don't need and something I needed sooner. Amazon refuses to acknowledge that it is using a bait and switch tactic, or that their failure to meet the guaranteed delivery date is a breach of contract with the consumer.
One cannot make a promise meant to induce another to enter into a contract, and then break the promise and still demand the party who has not received the benefit of the bargain must still pay the full price for a product/service that was not delivered according to the terms of that contract. Amazon breaches contracts with its consumer all day every day. Why is nobody filing a class action? There are true damages here - both in cold hard cash (all those items arriving too late for the consumer's intended purpose, forcing them to go out and pay more for the same item even while the first charge for the item not received is on their card), and in lost time and distress. I am canceling my prime membership and have stopped shopping at Whole Foods. Amazon has surpassed Walmart in terms of terrible service and corporate greed.

Once again, I'm giving Amazon a 5-star experience, this time due to its excellence in customer care, even on a Sunday afternoon. When I had an issue with a local UPS store while trying to print a return shipping label for an item I purchased from Amazon, I contacted the customer care department on the Amazon shopping website in order to have them mail the return shipping documentation to my home. The deadline to return my item was very near so I was in a bit of a panic to get a return label asap - my printer refused to print, the UPS computer and printer were not cooperating, and to get the proper documentation mailed to my home was my last hope... Until I chatted online with an Amazon.com customer care representative.
The CSR I chatted online with was patient while I explained every detail of my frustrating dilemma. Not only did the CSR listen to every word I wrote in chat (I know this because he addressed each struggle), he reassured me and told me I could expect a UPS driver to come to my home the next business day to pick up my return package and that I would not have to print any return shipment documentation - it was going to be handled by Amazon and UPS, free of charge. As a former Customer Service Specialist for a large corporation in Los Angeles, I and my workgroup won awards for excellence in customer satisfaction. Based on that, my 5-star rating here should have some value.

Shopping online has become not just a luxury for me, but a necessity due to my disability. I no longer have the ability to stroll through stores, browsing the shelves for what I need or to be inspired by what I see there. The Amazon Prime shopping app (both on my phone and on my laptop) has afforded me the opportunity to look at different products I need, check prices on different brands, and read reviews by customers who have purchased and used the products I'm interested in purchasing. It also delivers what I order in a very timely manner, and since I've become a Prime member, my deliveries are free, within a few days of placing and paying for my orders.
Since the deliveries arrive via UPS, my phone is alerted with a text message telling me my packages have been delivered to my doorstep. Anytime, if ever, I need to return something, Amazon.com sends a return shipping label to my email which I can easily print, and drop my package off at the UPS store only a few blocks from my home. I can also choose to have a UPS driver pick up the return package from my home so I don't even have to leave the house. (Another option Amazon gives me is to mail a return shipping label to my house for just $1, in the event that I am unable to get my EPSON printer to function properly... See my other review!)
I had a minor issue with getting a return shipping label printed at the local UPS store, so I contacted Amazon customer support and chatted with one of their CSRs online. My issue was resolved beyond my expectations. I've never been happier with online shopping, in all regards. Overall, I would highly recommend Amazon Prime to anyone - not just those who are homebound like myself.

I just spend 45 minutes trying to order a simple hair barrette. I wanted to add a few items to get free shipping. Oh my. Many, many things I selected were "reserved for Prime Members only". Many others required that I buy a zillion of the item. I don't really want that many at a time. So on I slogged, putting things in the basket, taking them out. Searching for others that met this narrow window of acceptance. Finally my patience gave out and now I am venting my frustration here. I won't attempt Amazon anymore. There are too many other websites that don't make it so hard to order items. I enjoy shopping, not this obstacle course.

Since signing up for Prime, my experience with Amazon has become less dependable. Not only have I received product which was not as described, but I am repeatedly receiving product past the promised arrival date. I complained to them recently about it & was told they cannot always guarantee shipment delivery - well, why not since this is what I’m paying for??! I would understand if this occurred once, but it now seems to be routine. Also, I recently received a charge on my card for Amazon for which I have no backup or record. I went into my account online & found no such order.
I contacted Customer services for an explanation. The person asked for a screenshot of the charge in my bill. Once I sent that, I was told she couldn’t help me; I have to wait for a response in 24 hours. I know CS can access my account so I asked why she couldn’t do that & give me an explanation, or credit me for the incorrect charge. She then scolded me & told me I should do as she told me to do! I objected & so she passed me off to someone else, who said he would help me, and eventually told me the same. Well, it’s been over 24 hours, still no explanation, or issued credit. In the past, I have extremely pleasant & helpful experiences with their CS staff.

Amazon purchases are increasingly arriving late after date promised. Even after paying extra to ensure it arrives on time. In the latest incident I needed a part for my motorcycle and was going to be fixing it this weekend so I could ride to work next week. I could have gotten this part much cheaper from another source. Amazon claimed to deliver it by Friday with local express shipping whatever that means. I paid extra for the shipping method expecting to have my part on time.
It didn't show up and Amazon just wants to pass the buck to the seller and the shipping company. What is more frustrating is that they managed to get my part from Canada East coast out to Seattle in 24 hours yet the part has been sitting in Seattle now for 21 hours. Seattle is only 2 hours drive from my address. The tracking information just says my package is late and gives a new date range for arrival. What is that?!! Keep tracking my package and keep it moving. I better get a refund for the shipping cost. Amazon, you are losing loyal customers over this delivery failure garbage.

And the good point is that I want the money back I need to send them more documents!!! For what? And it will last 90 days till they are able to refund me! 90 days? I`ve paid in few seconds!!! Why they charge you if is not a sure thing that you can sell on Amazon? They can charge after verification. The idea is that they will find another reason to not refund you, so before apply to sell on Amazon, you can check for other websites where you can sell safety and of course, with lower fees!

After reading At Night She Cries While He Rides His Steed The First Ever Romance Novel For Dudes I couldn’t wait for the sequel When Darkness Falls He Doesn’t Catch It. I preordered it in April from Amazon because they were supposed to deliver it the day it was released. The day after it was supposed to arrive I went to my account to see if it was delivered to my PO Box. It hadn’t even shipped. Amazon locked me out of my account when I tried to figure out why. When I finally got back in it said the book was out of stock and they didn’t know when or if it was going to be back in stock.
I spent the next 2 hours on the phone with Amazon trying to figure out what happened. The first person I spoke to, Panjeen (I’m guessing at the spelling), the super American person, in America, inside a room with 30 people in the background speaking with Indian accents said everything was the author’s fault. When I asked why would the author hack my account to keep me from buying his book he tried, poorly I might add, to deflect. The guy never answered any of my questions so I hung up.
The last person tried to say my billing information was the problem. I went through it with her. Everything was correct. I asked her if my card was the problem, why did Amazon let me order 11 other things with the same card after I ordered the book. For 20 minutes I kept asking that question. For 20 minutes she completely avoided it. She finally said she couldn’t answer that. I asked when the book would be available and she said probably in 3 months. The book I preordered wasn’t going to arrive until 3 months after the release date. I hung up on her.
This was when I started reading reviews. Some people got the book with no problem. One person was told the book was too graphic and the book had been banned. Another person got an email saying they canceled his order. I tried to write a review. Amazon deleted it and kicked me out of my account again. I reached out to the author after reading the reviews and told him what happened. I got a message back saying Amazon had banned it for being too graphic. They have no problem selling the first book, but the sequel is too graphic. They also have no problem making volumes 1 and 2 of Mein Kampf available on Prime. Luckily Barnes & Noble still has it. I canceled my order and bought it from Barnes.
It seems as though Amazon is jumping on the censoring people with different political views bandwagon along with Facebook, Twitter, and Apple. I always thought Alex Jones was a narcissistic douche who should be wearing a foil hat. Now that he has been censored along with a conservative who wrote a comedy book, I’m starting to believe it.

This resulted in many calls and frustration with Amazon. The final straw for me was the auto renewal of my membership. The charge was processed to a random (non-preferred) card. The charge was disputed and I opted to renew my membership with a separate account. Even though I had proof of charge, my membership was cancelled a second time because of the original dispute. Customer service was dismissive and didn't seem to care that I was charged with no resolution. I used to love Amazon Prime, but their service has changed so much. I will take my business elsewhere.

I posted a three star seller feedback (NOT product review) for Bertoni Eyewear. Afterwards, I noticed that not only mine, but all recent three star and less feedbacks were deleted. According to Bertoni Eyewear, Amazon is the one who deleted the ratings. The URL is **. I contacted Amazon at least 20 times on this issue, but Amazon refuses to let me know why they are manipulating the feedback for this particular seller. I did find out when Amazon does not want to respond to buyers, Amazon support sends the cases to seller support. Since most buyers do not have a seller's account, that means the cases get closed without any easy way for the buyer to respond. I have numerous emails showing this pattern of behavior by Amazon.
The following is about Amazon's deletion of three stars or less feedback rating on **. To start with, I am a BUYER and NOT a SELLER! According to seller support, this is NOT their issue. Second, this is about the seller feedback page and NOT the product page! The state of California has set laws and ordinances imposing penalties on businesses that try to deceive consumers or other companies through unfair practices such as false claims regarding products or services.
When Amazon manipulates seller feedback ratings, they are doing two things. 1. Deceptive advertisement that causes a loss of revenue for any competitor, 2. Trap unwitting consumers by advertising a product, property, or service in a false or deceptive manner. When Amazon manipulates the feedback ratings for Bertoni Eyewear, this gives Bertoni Eyewear an unfair advantage over competitors whose feedbacks were not manipulated. It also gives consumers a false understanding of issues with the services offered by Bertoni Eyewear, which is deceptive.

I have been a loyal customer of Amazon since 1999. Ordering tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise for myself and my company. Now I feel I have to speak out about charges in their practices that adversely affect people's shopping experience. First let's talk about Prime, as most people are aware when you order an item that is eligible for Prime delivery it will usually cost a few dollars more than the same item delivered by other means. Well UPS has come up with SUREPOST and now most guaranteed 2 day Prime deliveries are no longer arriving in 2 days, in fact when Amazon uses SUREPOST it almost always guarantees 3 days +.
Why? Because deliveries are transferred to your local USPS for final delivery to your home adding a day or two to the delivery times. One tip is that if this happens to you, complain, customer service will add a free month to your Prime account or as has happened in my case several times they will give you the item free, crediting your CC account. This year so far I have 11 months of free Prime and around $80 in free items, but to be honest I would rather have my purchase deliver on time! My next issue is with ordering items that are temporarily out of stock. On May 4th 2018 I ordered a woodworking plane, it had by far the best online price and as I was in no rush for it I placed the order. Today over 3 month later and nothing, I sent in two inquiries to customer service and get back a form reply that have zero indication as to what's happening with my order.
I should also note that the description of this item is for a polo shirt not a woodworking tool? On the page is a box that you can check to report inaccurate descriptions/information about the product. Over the 3 month period I have reported this 4 times and also sent 2 e-mails and still to this day the description remains incorrect. What's the point of having this facility if it's not acted upon? Anyway I could pay $100 more and purchase the item direct from the supplier or another online company, but then why does Amazon say Temporarily out of stock and then 3+ months later still have no idea when it will be available? Now I realize that Amazon has grown to one of, if not the largest companies in the world with many millions of products and customers. But my belief is that they are now just too big to provide the great customer service they were once known for, they have become a dinosaur. Big and slow to act.

Amazon Prime's subscription price is a flat out ripoff. The few products that do qualify now have a markup that more than covers shipping so free shipping is an out and out LIE! Two day shipping only occurs about 40% of the time. Items are often Bojack knockoffs, no name trash, and counterfeited products. Amazon should be raided by the Fair Trade Commission, and have all their records seized. Some sort of legal action should be taken assessing very steep fines and awarding monetary damages to consumers who received counterfeit products and treble monetary damages to any companies whom's products have been misrepresented and or counterfeited.
I bought a General Electric light fixture. The only place GE was mentioned was on the package. Even the lamp was a no name and simply said "Made in China" on it. I am almost certain the UL listing and the CSA listing are both counterfeit. ETL listing is a joke. CE is not quite as big a farce as Edison Testing Labs, but it is not too far behind in being lax and sleazy. The number of available products on Amazon Prime is shrinking, and the prices are equal to or higher than items in nearby RETAIL stores, with high prices.
So if I drive down the street, I can have my merchandise for the same price in 20 minutes or I can pay $150 a year and get the same products or questionable fake knockoffs delivered in two days. That hardly seems like any kind of a deal. It's an out and out ripoff! Parts that do not fit were delivered, and Amazon allows me to "resell them". Resell them as WHAT? I don't even know what they fit!!! Amazon is the epitome of sleaze. For what I paid for Amazon Prime I can pay for 3 day shipping on an awful lot of parcels, from more reputable sellers. The first year was fantastic, but the second year, all the prices went up by an average of 24%, overall. THAT IS A SCAM!

We are longtime Amazon shoppers but have started seeing troubling trends, including Amazon no longer meeting their delivery promise. Most troubling though, is the $144 charge from Amazon that appeared on our bank account. No orders appeared on our order list and we knew we hadn’t ordered anything. When we contacted Amazon to rectify, they told us it was for an Alexa Spot and that we had ordered it at 3:50 a.m. We conveyed multiple times that we did not order the item and curiously, it wasn’t showing up on our order list like other items we had ordered - I have a photo of our order page and no Amazon Spot shows up.
We wanted help getting to the bottom of how this Amazon item was purchased on our account, but we were told again and again that we could just “return it when it arrived as it was too late to cancel the order” despite the fact that this was just hours after the fraudulent order was placed. I wonder how many others out there have received Amazon products (not products sold on Amazon, but actual Amazon-produced products), they didn’t order? If this happened to you, were you able to figure out what happened? Again, this item was never in our cart, does not show up on our order list, and was purchased at an hour of the day when we were not awake. It is being shipped to our home. Thanks for any insight.

Product was 1 T Inverter Split AC ordered on 16th July 18. Amazon informed that I if take Prime membership product it will be delivered within 24 hrs. So membership has been taken and order placed Product has been delivered on 18th July with a commitment that installation order has been placed to Carrier the Product Manufacturer and it will be installed within 48 hrs. After 48 hrs on 21st July complaint lodged and again they said it will be done within 48 hr. 2nd, 3rd, 4th complaint lodged with them on 29th July, 2nd Aug, 3rd Aug 18 respectively.
All the time they said that it will be done within 48 hrs. Even they given Carrier Customer care No. But to my surprise when I contacted Carrier they said no such installation request registered by Amazon. They asked what is my Transaction No but I informed that no such transaction no has been provided by Amazon other than Order No. They asked me to collect that no from Amazon. Whereas Amazon said that they do not share that number with customer and stalemate continued. Enough is enough, then I have taken initiative from my own source and get it installed. Though I mailed several email to Amazon India complaining my problem they are silent. This the face of World renowned ebusiness platform who seldom care customer.

Worst customer service at Amazon. Paid RS.2200 for my products & none of them were delivered, it’s been one month & the only thing Amazon has to say is to seek help of consumer groups. Waste of money.

While I have often enjoyed shopping with Amazon, I feel I must discontinue doing business with them for the following reasons: 1. It is WAY too easy to order something by accident. I have accidentally clicked that "one-click" feature of theirs at least twice in the process of just trying to add something to a cart or wish list.
2. They auto-renew Prime and Music Unlimited without your authorization. I have had this happen repeatedly despite requesting twice by phone that they not do that and despite having physically unchecked the auto-renew settings. The only surefire way to make sure that they don't do that is to remove your card after every purchase - my mother had that happen to her too, so she has the same tactic of purchase-->delete card), but if you're in the habit of purchasing music one song at a time via phone like I am, this gets really tedious.
Just today, Music Unlimited was renewed without my knowledge, so I called to remove the charge. Nearly an hour after I hung up, I started systematically closing windows on my phone and saw the Amazon Music app open to the renewal page. Our grabby 18-month-old had gotten my phone and was tapping away and initiated a renewal. (See point #1. They really need to require password input for app purchases.) While now I am embarrassed at finding out about our son's accidental purchase, it still is way too easy for that to happen, seeing as how when I first got Unlimited, it was by accident after they decided to no longer include certain music with Prime (though up until that point, ALL music was included with Prime). In that case, I was paying for Music Unlimited for 4 months BESIDES the Prime membership before I even caught it.
3. They really don't want you calling them. You have to jump through multiple hoops and lengths to find a link where you can talk to someone via phone... and even then, they call you. In my experience, I don't recall whether I've seen a phone number on their website like a normal site. 4. They no longer QC their sellers like they should. I ordered a pair of Samsung chargers for my phone only to find out after purchase that they were counterfeit. (No data transfer, logo and design abnormal; Chinese vendor; see below.) Specifically, if what you're attempting to purchase is not from a seller / name brand you recognize, you may be on shaky ground with that purchase.
Just yesterday I had to contact an Amazon seller because I had purchased a video game for my husband for Christmas. The game was being sold with bonus content. Yesterday he was finally able to sit down and start playing the game. The bonus content codes were INVALID and upon further inspection, it looks like this disc is only licensed to be sold in ASIA. We ORDERED a North American disc (as evidenced by the seller's uploaded photos of the game case) with content, and we received an ASIAN disc with codes ONLY valid if you live in Asia.
Upon contacting the seller (while implying they may have sold this under false pretenses), they assured us that "all other functions are still perfectly valid." They offered a credit of $3 for the bonus content. While the $3 does cover the cost of purchasing the content via PSN, the disc was inexpensive, so it's more of a huge inconvenience... besides making you feel somewhat dirty and manipulated. I'm not even sure they are LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SELL IT in the U.S.
Now, I actually have had some really amazing seller experiences, and it's a shame that Amazon nearly makes itself the worst mediator of those goods. Also-also, especially with these Chinese vendors (I've had about 4 experiences in which I've had products not be as advertised or be straight-up counterfeit), there is a recurring pattern in which sellers will set up a new account to list and sell ONE SINGLE ITEM (before being "out of stock"), then turn around and sell another of it under another, yet similar, storefront. It would be like purchasing an outfit in the mall, going home, realizing that what was in your bag was a knockoff of what you just purchased, then going back on the next day to the store - which now has a slightly different name - and seeing the salesperson with Clark-Kent-style glasses pretending he's never seen you before in his life. It's really that bad.
We ordered three dresses for our daughter at relatively cheap prices, and when they arrived (for the ones that did): bad stitching, low-quality fabric, not as pictured, never received it. And returning it would be insanely expensive since they actually came from China. So now, if I see any vendors on Amazon with any typos, or bad English, or Asian names, or names like "Happy Fun Fashion", I just avoid them like the plague. Overall, it seems like Amazon may quickly be becoming Wish in that regard, and you might want to reconsider business with them for that reason. The only reason I still tolerate Amazon is for their refund policy (which refunds shipping if you have to send something back) and their digital music downloads, which are considerably more easygoing of an experience than the garbage-fire that is iTunes.
5. In order to save money, they have "sub-let" their delivery services to financially-strapped, unethical, non-Amazon-employee whoevers (most under the age of 30) who come up to your house in unmarked vans and leave strange packages at your door... that is, if they ever come. We had an order get lost in transit a few weeks ago, so Amazon just refunded the money back. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these "starving students" opened the package and decided to keep the item.
6. Amazon has a recently-exposed history of funding anti-Christian groups - specifically of partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center - which openly persecutes Christians. That being said, Amazon also got in trouble for removing reviews from a prominent Christian reviewer for giving a glowing review of a recently published Christian book. Amazon has a system in place for supporting non-profits, but then removed the Alliance Defending Freedom from its recipient list due to the ADF's legal representation of persecuted Christians. As a Christian myself, it is practically an attack against me, my family, and the vast majority of Americans who still hold to the Bible, whether in spirit or in name only.
All said, I have been shopping with other sites recently, and though I don't make a lot of purchases, I find that it's less drama and trouble to just walk into the stores for what you need. Then you have a physical place to return to and you can look someone in the eye when you make that purchase. Proceed with caution.

From sending me broken knockoffs, to sending me empty packages, Amazon is the king of messing things up. Their customer service is also poor, from sighing at you as if you're a inconvenience, to silencing poor reviews for calling them out with sarcasm. Be very careful what you order from Amazon, because getting the issue fixed can be a headache, and a company that doesn't care about the people who work for it definitely doesn't care about their customer base. They have messed up several times and never have they gone the extra mile to make it right. Even scammers on eBay treat their consumers better than Amazon does. It's as they say, you get what you pay for and Amazon is the king of cheap online retail. I'm about done ordering from this joke of a website.

I had purchased a phone on 27th but it was not delivered to me due to their delivery boy who lost my label card and inform Amazon that I had refused the order and sent back my phone to their vendor even I had paid the cost from my credit card & when I contact their customer care they are changing every day and I had to explain all to them and all said we will help you but all in vain. Also write a mail to their QA department but still no response from their side. Result of this is I could not order again as qty is fixed per customer but they still saying we will help you when the offer ended. Here I clear that seller had sent my phone on time but due their poor system I could not got the same. I think we should learn a lesson from it and avoid Amazon until they do not change their way of working and understand the value & time of the customer.

Amazon’s carriers failed to deliver my product and decided to return them after a whole week of me waiting instead of attempting to redeliver the product. Amazon Customer Service team does not care about Amazon’s customers. Amazon’s Customer Service team is not reading the messages I send them, so now I’m here. I put in an order for a product that was set to arrive on the 3rd week of July and ‘the carrier’ could not deliver it, so instead of trying again the next day or allowing me to give them instructions, they return my items! What bothers me is that ‘Amazon’s carrier’ claimed that the products got damaged in transit. I don’t believe that.
I tell Amazon CS, and Amazon’s CS instructs me to reorder the products with one day shipping and give them the order number to have the shipping waived. More work for me??? So, it’s July 31st and I have yet to receive my products??? Amazon is better than this. I have tried to communicate with Amazon’s customer service multiple times, but I keep getting ignored. They respond, but it’s generic. If anyone read that conversation, they’d think??? “Did they even read what you sent?” I work customer service. People who are rude or completely ignore customer complaints hate their job.

For a year, I have been trying to get my book published. I finally got it published but they took the paperback set up and used it for the Ebook which ruined it. So, I started all over again and had a professional format it. When I complained and I did so daily, no one did anything. Instead, they removed my orders, removed my wish list, and my account. All the books I was using for students to refer to AND which they buy from Amazon have disappeared. My order form is clean stating that I have made no purchases whatsoever in the last six months. This is not true I have a number of books here and the receipt slips and dates.
Now they have removed the PRIME service; that is no longer available. In other words I have been removed as a customer from Amazon. Do they have the right to do that or should I see a lawyer and sue? I have done nothing to endanger their business, But I am considering sending this complaint to the BBB and also putting it up for the public as well as discussing the situation with a legal department. Additionally they owe me money for a book they could not provide, or did not feel like providing.

Same day shipping, 2 day shipping, whenever they get around to it is really when it will come. Customer service is less than helpful when it comes to actually tracking a package. I've been being told for 2 days that my package will arrive before 9pm same day. I'm actually on day 4 and still no package. The first two days my package was late I was understanding and had not contacted customer service. The best they can do is offer expedited shipping (did not prove to be helpful) and a $5.00 gift card after that which really seems more insensitive than anything. Why guarantee with no promise?

I have been a Prime member for years. They make me so mad. Every time I ordered something they always sent me the wrong order. They are always charged me money for I have no idea what every time. I got to the bank. They taking more money. I don't know what they did. They write me to email saying that I have too much refund. Well they need to get it together and I would get so much refund. That is a no brainer so I am done with that. I got rid of mine Prime membership and change my account at the bank. Please stay away from Amazon. They are not good. Ripped off.
