    I ordered an item from Amazon and when it was delivered, I noticed that one of the pieces was the wrong size. I log into my account and see that I can contact the manufacturer directly. When I do that, they told me that since it was an Amazon Prime order, I needed to contact Amazon. I call CS and was told that they would have to send a whole new item instead of just one part. I was told it would be delivered on a certain day. That day came and then it was pushed out 3 more days.

    I called CS again and their “supervisor” is a joke. She was horrible and gave excuses. I wanted to know why I couldn’t go through the manufacturer directly and was told because it was ordered on Amazon. Then she told me I could contact the manufacturer and BUY a replacement part. I told her that was stupid and nobody in their right mind would buy a replacement part when it was shipped incorrectly. She lacked concern and constantly interrupted me. Her name was Jenny **. I asked for a full refund due to the extreme inconvenience and was told no. Amazon is a big fat joke.

    To those smart enough to read Amazon reviews, congratulations. I'm about to help you out. My Amazon account showed me that my packages were delivered Sunday, June 2nd. I live in an apartment complex so I specifically left a note on my order to have the packages left inside the office. Instead, I showed up to my front office on Monday morning and was informed no packages had arrived yet. I grew worried because there are times I see packages simply left in our unlocked mail room all the time and our apartment complex has told us, and all delivery people, that packages have been getting stolen so if the office is closed do not simply leave them unprotected in the hallway next to the mailboxes. Unfortunately, I believe the delivery people simply were too lazy to follow this simple order and left my package for anyone to pick up. I do not blame Amazon for this.

    What I DO blame Amazon for is their inadequate approach to handling my missing packages. I spoke with an individual who simply stopped responding to me over the phone, waiting for me to hang up instead of answering my questions. The next person told me there was nothing they could do to help me, and then asked if that would be all for this call. The third person told me that to receive my packages I need to file a police report. This is when my patience wore thin. I told her that instead of filing a police report that Amazon should give me a refund. At that point, I'd had enough. The unprofessionalism was unbelievable, given that Amazon is supposed to be one of the most popular shopping destinations.

    After calming down and seeing as there was only one way to resolve my issue, I filed a police report and called Amazon again. I was told that this was STILL inadequate for me to receive my package. Then I was mocked over the phone as a woman ignored my many attempts to explain my situation. It was as if this was the first time someone had been missing a package that said it was already delivered!!! I was told to look out for an email from Amazon so I could submit my police report, which was already accepted by the police department and pending investigation, and FINALLY receive my items. Yet, this was not enough.

    I was told to give them the phone number I had used to file the police report. I gave the Amazon call center agent this number, and then she put me on hold while she attempted to call them. She said she could not get through and told me that this was the end of our call and hung up. This is when I had the idea to create a conference call between the police non-emergency phone line and Amazon. The man who answered said he could not be on a conference call with the police department and forced me to hang up with them.

    Essentially, the whole time I was treated like a fool who should just accept that my money is gone. But no, I wasn't going down that easy. For the 6th time today (6/4/19), I called Amazon. Then I was FINALLY told that they would take the next 72 hours to do an investigation about the situation. Let's see if they actually are able to resolve my problem. I highly doubt it. I might call again tomorrow.

    Your company is so messed up. I have tried to enter my EBT card several times with several senior CS reps but no one in your company can fix the issue. I have never dealt with a company that no one can fix the problem. Whenever I try to upload the EBT card info your server says that it's an invalid card (but I am using it at stores now). I can't fix the issue you can. That is why I am asking for several months of free Prime for the stress that I am getting trying to get the lower rate and no one on your end knows what's happening.

    I have a gift card (Rs. 2000) and that expired once I tried to redeem it in my account. I am getting an error, "The gift card you are trying to add has expired. Please contact Amazon Customer care to Revalidate it this gift card." So I tried from 6 May 2019 to till 4 June 2019. My problem is not solved by the Amazon team. Customer Executive is replying that it's an Internal issue going on. That's why it will take much time to resolve. I was called Amazon customer care 5-6 times and every time new executive will asking me the same question and replied them on same. I got irritated and crash my mobile phone. As Amazon customer care executive replying means the Amazon's IT team is not very much expert to resolve the customer issues.

    I purchased this item from Amazon.com late November, 2018. It turned out to be defective. The instructions that came with the Vizio sound bar said that if there was a problem with the item, contact the manufacturer before trying to return the item. Over the next few months I worked with Vizio's tech support trying to resolve the issue. They said I needed to reload the firmware. I followed their instructions to the letter and it did not resolve the problem. I notified Vizio of this and then I received another email from their tech support telling me to do the exact same thing that the first email said to do. This happened 3 more times. I finally told them I was going to return the item. Then they said they'd send out a tech to look at it.

    When I told them I purchased the item from Amazon, Vizio said they could no longer help me. So, I contacted Amazon. Amazon said I could not return it because the 30 day window had passed. I even appealed the decision and Amazon still would not help me. Now I'm stuck with a $354 defective sound bar. Beware, AMAZON DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! Because of this experience I will never order electronics from Amazon again. They may be good at selling shampoo and assorted lotions but that's it.

    Amazon flagged fraud on my account and then refuses to refund. I have been one of the longest UK Prime users. Amazon flagged fraud on my account 3 weeks ago. Purchases of 6 gift cards of £100 each, so £600 in total. Amazon knows these were fraudulent purchases. I have made constant calls and flagged this Amazon over the past 3 weeks. Every time I get "I am sorry to hear this, let me pass to relevant department who will call/email/deal with this..." 3 weeks later - still get the same reply and nothing has been resolved. They are happy to take fraudulent money and will not resolve the issue.

    Had two instances in 6 months where Amazon indicated items were delivered when they were not. Recently, Amazon seems less responsive to customer concerns and in some instances are dismissive. It is sad to think that Amazon's success may be leading to compromised service. I hope Amazon acknowledges the negative trend and takes steps to reverse it.

You can send it back and we will provide you a return shipping label." And they also say, "You get a full refund." It’s been over 1 month. All items have been delivered back to them. I just got $678 refund. Call 5 times already. All that says "Item is in return processing Center". Still didn’t get my refund. I already open chargeback claim on my credit card.

    I received a $50 gift card from my mom and when I tried to use it, the code was invalid. Then I called Amazon Support and they told me I had to return it to the store. My mom could not remember the store and did not have the receipt anymore and Amazon Support told me they would investigate and get back to me in 2-3 days. So I waited and they never got back to me. I called again and they said they didn’t get back to me because there was nothing they could do. I waited both times on the phone with them for 30 minutes or more.

    At the very least I would’ve liked a response saying that they couldn’t help, instead of me having to jump through hoops to get that answer. So now I don’t have a gift card and my mom is out $50. I am so displeased with the service. I loved Amazon because of the convenience and the products, but I would rather shop anywhere else at this point because most other places are able to accommodate issues like these. Being such a huge corporation you would think that they would be able to help their customers and make things right, but clearly they only care about making money and do not focus on their customers enough.

Shortly before that date I went online to cancel and a the Amazon site popped up an offer to extend the free trial by an additional month. I agreed to this only to see a couple of days later that Amazon charged me for the first month's regular membership. I spoke to someone on the phone who denied that Amazon would ever offer to extend a Prime trial the way I described. However, they did do so.

    I place an order as a birthday present to be delivered to its destination. When discovered, without being notified, the item was first returned en route from the courier, I contacted Amazon immediately via online chat and discovered it was damaged during shipping. I chuck it to bad luck. I worked with Amazon.com customer service and had the item ship again. I checked my order a few days later and found out that it was returned again. Contacted Amazon again and had the order redelivery again.

    A few days later, the order was returned again. I was confused at this point and had a long chat with customer service as what happened. They told me the item was actually not reordered at all due to their system not being able to process the order. In order to the item to ship again it needs to be a new order. I was really fed up at this point since was going to be a month late when I reorder. I called Amazon and I ask the customer service agent to place the order on my behalf since they have charged me already and I have all my information. I really just wanted accountability at this point since the product is delivered directly from Amazon LLC and not it's vendor.

    And of course, the agent told me that they couldn't do this for whatever reason beyond me. It was ridiculous. I told to just credited the refund back into my account and not my credit card so I don't have to wait for 7 days for the refund to processes. I got the credit 2 hours later and place the order again, contacted Amazon via online chat to get confirmation on the product is actual ordered and delivered this time. The customer service agent told me that they will get in contact with the shipping center to take "extra care" with my order. I tracked the shipping every day and everything seemed right this time. Then on 5th day, returned to shipper again. WHAT IS HAPPENING!!

    I called Amazon that day, then we conferenced with the courier DHL customer service agent who told me that they will investigate my shipping issue and get back to me within hours. I have not heard from DHL for a full day and decide to call. Their agent told me that there was no investigation order but a phone update noted in their logs. WHAT THE HECK!!!! WHAT PHONE UPDATED!!! DHL told me that what happen is that Amazon did not fill in the shipping label correctly. I asked DHL, "So how come this wasn't communicated back to Amazon." They told me that they simply couldn't do it for the amount of Amazon shipment they have to contend with.

    I was furious. I called Amazon and told them what DHL told me. I told them that this is beyond incredulous and ask them to redirect the order to another address since the order won't be received by the intended recipient at this point. I was them Amazon the ship to a new address which they told me that again that they couldn't process online and I would have to place a new order the item AGAIN. So they did the same thing as last time, processed the refund as a credit to my account again and told me that I would see it within the day. It took 2 hours last time and I have not seen my credit for well over 12 hours. At the time of this review.

    The positive: Amazon offers a variety of options in each department. The negative: Where do I begin? As an overseas buyer I've had issue after issue with Amazon. Issues include: 1. Goods not delivered. 2. Consistent late deliveries. 3. Lousy, completely inept customer service. 4. Lack of ownership when things go wrong. 5. Faulty goods delivered.

    Their general response seems to be:

    1. Insincere apologies (if they were sincere, they would pull up their socks and up their game).

    2. Upon insisting that there is some accountability (usually it means *only after* writing to the CEO), they offer Amazon credit.

    If you can source what you need elsewhere, I would highly recommend that you do so. Amazon is simply the worst!

    I purchased an item fulfilled by Amazon for $160. When the wrong color was shipped (FROM CHINA) I contacted Amazon. I have been doing business on this site for years and have had a few issues here and there but this was the worst experience ever. I was treated so rudely even told that I was basically lying about checking to make sure that the item was fulfilled by Amazon, I even review my order and it says "Fulfilled by Amazon" even at this very moment. They informed me that my purchase was made from a 3rd party seller. What? Regardless of the fact that Amazon took money from my account and I could see clearly it STILL SHOWS FULFILLED BY AMAZON and then bailed on standing behind the product they offered on their site - now want me to pay shipping to return an item that is not what I ordered.

    I was told that because the item that I purchased was not in stock it came from another seller. Do I not get to decide who I make my purchase from? If it is out of stock would I not be given the opportunity to decide NO Thank You? Shame on you Amazon, I will cease making purchases, for my personal use as well as my business.

    Unlike every other online retailer that offers free shipping that takes longer, Amazon actually won't fulfill your order and ship it if it might come early. They actually punish consumers for not buying Amazon Prime. I placed a order on a Friday and just went with the 5 to 8 day free shipping without a Prime account. Fine whatever. I didn't need it right away and figured maybe it would come early like most things do. But then I went to tracking the next week on Tuesday and realized they had not even shipped it yet.

    I asked why and they said that I chose the 5 to 8 day shipping so they wouldn't even start the order because it would come to soon. But if I wanted to upgrade to Prime they would ship it right away and arrive in two days. I don't know about anyone else out there but when I pay for something that's not special order I expect it to ship in 24 to 48 hours at the latest. Not just to hold on to my order because it would arrive to soon. From the now on I'm just going to go to the store. I'm done with this shady online retailer.

I wanted to leave a review about Amazon delivery (not the product or the seller) on the Amazon site and was unable to find a space within my order to do so.

    On May 14th I ordered two products. One came in on time, the other never arrived. It was due to arrive on the 17th. On the 17th I checked my order and it had disappeared without explanation. So on the 20th I called customer service and spoke to a helpful woman that informed me they were waiting for 'verification' from my bank and the bank was not responding. They also tell me an email was sent on the 16th. And that someone was to contact me within 24-48 hours with more information. I was informed email was the only possible communication available for such things.

    I call my bank and they inform me there was no indication or contact from Amazon and nothing showing for the price range. I then check my email only to find there was no email. I again call Amazon to update them and I spoke to a man that seemed incapable of listening. He repeated the same line over and over 'someone will contact you within 24-28 hours'.

    I decide to call later and hopefully get a better rep. Sadly, this did not happen as the next person I spoke to seemed to be cloned from the first and had the same line to repeat. I asked to at least verify that they had my email correct, which was apparently too hard for this rep to understand as well. Also I discovered my entire account was frozen. It's now been four days since I first heard 'someone will contact you within 24-48 hours', and 10 days since my order was placed and no one has contacted me. So I called back today and sounded as if I got the same rep as last time.

    This rep then proceeds to tell me they sent a second email on the 19th. When I reminded her that I have no email on the account She then instructed me I could add an email through the app. I was told my billing information didn't match. The same billing information that allowed the second item I purchased at the same time to be ordered and shipped. And all previous orders. Also, now, for the first time I was informed the order was cancelled on the 19th, the day before my first call. The conversation devolved into her repeating over and over that I could use the app to add an email, even when I was speaking about topics entirely unrelated to email.

    I requested a supervisor who, basically, was equally as clueless and useless, just with a bigger title. So 10 days after my order and I still have Zero answers as to why one product was sold and shipped and another had the wrong billing information. Why no one ever called me back. Why I wasn't informed about needing to add an email to my account until 10 days, and 2 emails, later. Why (and how) emails were sent to an account without an email address. How was my order cancelled on the 19th yet no one informed me of this on my next three calls. Now I have to attempt another dreaded call and hope I can get things figured out. I've only had Amazon a few months and am already close to closing my entire account.

    I don't know what happened to Amazon delivery but it is HORRIBLE now. What is the purpose of asking PAYING members what their delivery preferences are if they blatantly ignore them? Usually people list preferences for a reason. I only ask to put my items at my front door (MY FRONT DOOR), that way they can attempt to ring my door bell so that I can get my package or leave it there when I don't answer, but their drivers will leave my packages ANYWHERE they feel like it and then state that "package was handed directly to a resident," yet they left the package behind a flower pot in front of my garage door, when my front door is only a few steps away, and NEVER rang the door bell. LAZY LAZY LAZY.

    I don't know if it is new drivers, or bad logistics but this needs to stop. They won't let us cancel our Prime shipping or I would and just keep the streaming because this is getting worse each time. How do you increase the price of Prime, and the service goes down?? If I wanted that I would have stayed with AT&T. And they will say, "we will do our best to ensure this doesn't happen again," and then it happens 4 times in a row.

    Since the early 2000s I have written almost 500 reviews on Amazon.com for products, books and movies and at one point was one of the top few hundred reviewers on the site. I have enjoyed sharing my opinions and honing my writing skills by writing these review. All of a sudden, however, every last one of my reviews were deleted about 4 months ago. When I finally discovered how to contact Amazon customer service (whose contact info was hidden deeply in the bowels of their website), I was told that one of my reviews had violated Amazon's policies. I was not told which review had violated which policy, but I was promised that someone would get back to me. No one ever did.

    I have contacted Amazon's customer service department at least 15 times over the last 4 months and have been given the same run-around each time. The Indian workers tell me that they are forwarding my problem to the "review team" (who have no contact phone #) but I would assuredly be contacted within 24-48 hours to let me know what the issue was. No one has ever contacted me. One rep though hinted, without confirming, that it was my negative review of the movie, "Black Panther" which triggered my banning when several people colluded to flag it as inappropriate. That is a problem, but the bigger problem is the idiotic deletion of every single one of my reviews and the utterly unprofessional run-around I've been getting from the unbelievably incompetent amazon customer service team from overseas.

    As a long time devotee of Amazon & Amazon Prime? my recent experiences within orders reflecting the “Prime” advantages are done. The yearly rise of the cost to the advantage of membership I have felt were justified, in point the excellence held in customer service related to membership were on a par w/ few? If any, however my last few encounters regarding specific orders fulfilled through in which assistance was imperative to resolve an emergency fail regarding an item directly purchased through Prime, left me with the realization that as the enormity of growth has greatly affected the pricing now found anywhere, as opposed to the years of Amazon having the best price points available bar none?

    There are few reasons to continue “membership” as service decline is now nothing comparatively to past. Lack of premier customer service has been worth the lack of cost effective pricing, the loss of excellence in package delivery, the loss of most everything I originally found superior? Pretty much faded into a fond memory, however the ability to provide the best customer service I had ever received continuously? Yes, was worth the extensive yearly increases Prime continued to charge while as stated declined at the same rate price point excelled. Now however, their customer service is as decreased as benefits of membership. Less than even one star, rude, unprofessional and totally without interest & information on individual consumer. Was told to “order from Amazon Prime NEXT time to ensure my order would receive first priority in ability to assist me? Ah, excuse me?

    The item contacted as to needing replacement assistance WAS ordered from? My son’s turtle heater stopped in middle of night, not something I could replace by going to mortar, & specifically purchased BECAUSE of the knowledge I falsely held in security of assistance should anything go awry. Begging for another item of similar nature I would PURCHASE & go over the problem she presented in lack of professional knowledge of order at later date? Was told “got no idea”, and AGAIN instructed only to purchase through Prime if I was to encounter any issues with a new product? When told to contact seller? Requested info? Blurred on screen for exactly 6.2 seconds and gone the moment she “ended conversation”. After? Lost merchandise again purchased through Prime ended when after weeks of nothing I inquired with a blunt “yeah contact seller?”

    So many continuously same unprofessional actions after? I would NEVER recommend the price of Prime to ANYONE considering. Another competitive as Jet.com? Even the dreadful area that Walmart.com offers at least are expected with difficulty in areas, not areas of difficulty you need to PAY them to adhere to in within ridiculously unexceptional, unacceptable, & unprofessional customer resolve & solutions.

I had a chat session this evening trying to resolve a delivery issue (carrier lied about attempting a delivery) and then asked if there was a way I could ask that my future orders not be delivered by AMZL. I was given an email address to write about this issue. So I wrote a long note, only to have it bounce because they don't monitor that address for incoming messages!

    I've been an Amazon.com customer for several years now and we've been happy, however for awhile their Amazon was using a delivery carrier called OnTrac which was a nightmare. Items were delivered to who know where and took 2 weeks at times. Now it seems that Amazon has their own delivery service and it's a scary thing indeed. The drivers are in street clothes, unmarked cars and look like day labors or someone that 30 minutes prior to being near your front door were holding a cardboard sign begging for alcohol money. These individuals sometimes bring other people with them in their automobile. I witnessed one person get out of the delivery drivers car and scope out the items in my garage. Another delivery was past 9 pm on a Sunday. Amazon delivery service in my opinion is inviting potential crime to my front door.

    When the USPS or UPS delivered packages I was able to track my package and know where my package was. Some carriers even provided a text message that your package was delivered. Now all I get is that my package was delivered to a secured area. Well that package wasn't delivered to me, my front door or mail box so wherever the secured area was I had no idea. If Amazon is going to bring unmarked cars and strange people to my front door that I would cross a street to avoid then I'll take my business elsewhere.

    Amazon now sends you a bar code to make a return on prime that can only be done at a genuine UPS store, not a pack and ship. I had to run all over to make my return. As a USPS and UPS customer, in the past if I had to make a return they sent me the RMA, I printed the label and could drop USPS in my post box or drop at the pack and ship a few blocks away. Very simple process. Now I have to drive miles and stand in line for service which is very annoying. Think Amazon is getting too big and spoiling some of the great features that made them so successful.

    Wake up Amazon! Don't complicate what a great process you had going. I buy a lot on here. Sometimes because I have prime I buy stuff because I do not feel like running out to shop when I know I can have it in 2 days anyhow. I will no longer buy anything such as clothing, since the return process is no longer friendly. I was very careful to read the sizing reviews, but apparently the people giving them were not real accurate.

    Today is May 14, 2019 and, supposedly, Amazon has implemented a new push to get items to us in one day. The problem is, items are not always delivered when advertised, which is a huge problem in this day of porch pirates stealing items. If I schedule a delivery, I make sure I will be home that day. If Amazon doesn't deliver that day, as scheduled, that means I have to take time off or adjust my schedule so that I'm home on their new delivery date.

    I'd prefer if Amazon was just more accurate and honest about the day they say my deliveries are coming. Right now, I have to stay at home today to receive an item that was scheduled for delivery YESTERDAY. So that makes two days in a row I have to make sure I'm at home. I just called Amazon to complain about this and was told that their deliveries can't be guaranteed and that I should try using Amazon Lockers. Not practical for larger deliveries and very inconvenient. So much for one day or even scheduled deliveries...

    I ordered this swimsuit at $14 to be fulfilled by HOLIPICK and shipped via "PRIME" because it was advertised as 1 day Prime shipping, and clearly a great price. I saw that the payment was debited the evening it was ordered, and received notification that it was shipped the next day. I had no reason to believe that things had gone awry or that it would not arrive by the estimated 1-2 days shipment date advertised. It was not until it did not show up that I began to question things.

    I went back to review my shipping confirmation email and realized that it was showing an expected arrival date anywhere b/t 3-6 weeks out. I needed it within the week. I called Amazon to attempt to rectify the situation only to be told that their system showed it was purchased through a 3rd party and there was nothing that they could about the time frame.

    I advised that although their system was reflecting a 3rd party that was not accurate. I have my account set to always use PRIME shipping, so I'm not sure how a 3rd party shipper got involved. They could not explain this either. Basically, told me it was not possible. They also could not explain why on my end it appeared I was ordering something being fulfilled by Amazon while on their end it was showing a 3rd party. They also could not explain why if it was not the "same" item I ordered, when even if I clicked the link from my account order history to "buy again" it was taking me to the link showing the Amazon as the party fullfilling the shipment.

    Oh, and peeps... this item that wasn't the "same item" had all of the exact reviews and questions that were on the ITEM that they say was the ITEM I ordered. I think we can all agree that ALLOWING THE SAME REVIEW ON ITEMS - EVEN WHEN SOLD/FULFILLED BY DIFFERENT SELLERS IS EXTREMELY MISLEADING!!! And a Major FAIL on Amazon's part.

    They were NOT willing to do anything but provide a refund of the $15 that was spent on the item, and ALLOW me to purchase the another at the price of $26.99-meaning I would have to pay $12-$13 more now than what was initially paid FOR THE "SAME" ITEM - all to have it shipped by AMAZON PRIME as it was originally purchased! I feel this is not an acceptable solution to the problem. I now trust nothing or any reviews left on this site. VERY, VERY displeased!!!

    I am not an Amazon Prime customer. A neighbor on another street is. I have consistently received his packages delivered to my home since before Christmas 2018 (I guess that when he got Prime). My address is clearly marked at the end of my driveway. However since the drivers only use GPS and apparently not their own eyes, my neighbor's items are delivered even though it is a completely different address. On GPS, the streets overlap and the screen must be expanded to show they are separate roads.

    I called Amazon yesterday (again) to complain of misdirected delivery and the phone rep said to "dispose of the package, or you can donate it." I was shocked and asked her to repeat that. She said the item can be thrown away. I guess the expectation is that the buyer will wait a few days, not get his package and have to call to see what happened to it and they'll resend it? What an unbelievably shabby way to do business. I've been an Amazon customer off and on but am really rethinking if I want to continue giving them my business in any manner.

Or offer an excuse or solution that later turns out by yet another person to be untrue and they actually say, "I dont know why they would have said that" and the circle continues. Instead of that nonsense that doesnt fix the problem. Fix the problem- YOUR EMPLOYEES!! They are all on different pages. Train the employees that have to run the company.

    Even though they could see who was fraudulently using my credit card, they refused to give me that person’s name claiming it was due to “security reasons“ and “protecting that person‘s privacy”. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they transferred me to some senior account person and told me that was the highest person I could speak to. That person ultimately told me the same thing.

    I ordered a play structure for my son's second birthday. I ordered it over a month in advance so that I'd be sure it was ready in time. I told family and friends not to get him anything because one big gift was all he needed. Two boxes arrived and I hid them in my basement. The plan was to build it the night before his birthday, while he was sleeping. That way, when he got up the next morning, he'd walk outside to the surprise. After he went to bed, my husband, father-in-law, and I, got started building it. About five minutes in, we realized there were some big important pieces that weren't in either of the boxes. So I checked online and discovered that the shipment was supposed to have three boxes, and that the third box was missing. I spoke to someone at customer service who told me that it looked like the third box was somewhere in Ohio (I'm in California). The customer service agent I spoke to said that I should wait five days. It's been five days.

    I called Amazon customer service today. They told me I should check with Fed Ex. I called Fed Ex and discovered that they never received that third package from Amazon to send me. Fed Ex may have printed a label in Ohio, but they never received a box because Amazon never sent it. Amazon customer service told me I could get a refund of my order and then reorder the item. I paid $229.99 for the item through Amazon (as the seller). The cheapest I could find the item was $398.20 through a third party seller. I told Amazon that they needed to make up the difference because it was their fault my son didn't have a birthday present, as they never sent the third box. They told me I had to contact the seller. I reminded them that they were the seller. They said they could only make up $25 worth of a difference.

    I tried to write a review, but it was rejected because it wasn't about the item, it was about the seller. So I tried to write a review about the seller. Guess what? You can only write reviews about a seller when it's a third party seller. If Amazon is the seller, no review. I spoke with three different people at customer service and none of them were able to show me how I might write a review about Amazon as the seller. So now my son didn't get a birthday present, I'm paying over $150 more for an item than I should have, and I can't even post a negative review. I am PISSED.

    I have had a good experience for the most part from Amazon, but they allow some "bait and switch" vendors to sell products from their website. I ordered an item advertised to arrive within a week. The vendor charged my card, reserve a tracking number from a carrier and then changed the delivery date to 2 to 6 weeks. Since they had reserved a tracking number I was not allowed to cancel the order even though it had not shipped. I showed proof of this to Amazon and they ignored it saying it had shipped. I had to get the BBB and my states AG involved for Amazon to even listen to my complaint. It would not have been a big issue except that Amazon refused to listen to my complaint and then flat out lied to me about the item being shipped even after I showed them proof that it had not been shipped. I got the feeling that their service reps were reading from queue cards and never heard a word I said.

    I began receiving 8-1/2 x 11 statements after I remarked to a customer “service” rep that I couldn’t read the tiny print of my bill account number. This oversized bill is pages and pages long. They still send the regular sized one too! With the landfills overfilling where I live, we do not need this. I repeatedly emailed and called, telling these people to stop sending the oversized bill.

    Today was the last straw. The first rep I talked to couldn’t understand English and spoke it very badly. She didn’t have a clue what I was telling her. She put me on hold for a good 10 minutes while she got someone else. The second gal said they had sent me a letter saying “sorry for the inconvenience” and asking me some questions. I do not remember ever getting it. She then said she would ask her supervisor if I could get my oversized bill stopped. I waited another ten minutes listening to their obnoxious music before she came back on and said I would not receive any more oversized bills. This Synchrony Bank is the worst bank I have dealt with. I will no longer use my Amazon Store Card. I am done!

    This company has great deals and I also find the prices here are lower in many cases than Walmart. I shop here almost daily and have spent thousands. The thing that gripes me is when I want a smaller item (under $25) it is impossible to get without a shipping fee. Every time I want something small, it says "shipping free over $25". Thereby I eventually go to Walmart or eBay to get that particular item. Amazon needs to discontinue this practice for more purchases!

It was bad enough I had to get a new bank account number but they have failed me. I really expected more from Amazon.

    I’ve about had it with the poor delivery and customer service lately with my Prime Membership with Amazon. Twice now it showed my item as delivered and yet they delivered it to the wrong address. The 2nd time this happened, the driver took a picture of the package in front of a door that wasn’t mine! I called Amazon that same evening and was told by a customer service rep (who I could barely hear, due to a ton of background noise on their end, and who put me on hold for 7 minutes) that “The driver goes off a device and sometimes that device is wrong”.

    I asked “So are you saying that the driver doesn’t compare the address on the package to the address on the house, before he drops the package down in front of the door?” She said “Sometimes yes if they are busy.” Are you kidding me??!! Wow. Then she tells me that since it hasn’t been a full 24 hrs since the delivery, I will have to call back the next day to go over all of this again, in order to get a refund or a replacement.

    So this all stems from me just wanting to add my phone number to my account under my Gmail. Two days ago, I go and try to add my phone number to my account, but it would not let me because I already had another account under my phone number. So I wrote to them to close that account so that I could add my phone number. Flash forward to today, I go and trying adding my phone number again. This time, I was able to get through verification codes and such, but again, I could not add it because my phone number was associated with my closed account.

    So I go their instant chat rooms to get the situation solved. I explained to them my situation and they were willing to help. They even acknowledge that I closed the other account under my phone number. However, that is when they asked me for the last four digits of "my active card" so they can help me on their part. I mainly do not use a credit card let alone own one I explained to them and that I only have a gift card balance from three digital gift cards (the cards I earned from earning points through surveys and GPS location on one of the apps I use on my phone).

    So, they have me try adding my phone number again myself and of course, it did not work. They tell me that they need the credit card number for security reasons twice and because I did not own a credit card, they could not add my phone number on their end, making me sound like a dummy (I never said that to them by the way). The only time I used a credit card on Amazon was my mother's when she had me order some sheets and comforters for my niece and nephew (the children of my older brother) who live down in Florida for their bedrooms and I had removed it off my account. Other than that, I never purchased anything for myself and even when I want to (or whenever I do on any online store), I only use a gift card balance instead of a credit card. But because I wanted to add my phone number with help from customer service and at the same time, I did not own a credit card, they could not help me.

    They could have asked for last four digits off of one the digital gift cards I had put in to form my gift card balance. I understand you need a credit card for security reasons but they really need to find other ways to help customers add a phone number without the need of a credit card so that this does not happen again like it has to me.

    Amazon marketing types have lost their integrity. I don't need to be specific because even the most Neanderthal & honest person has looked for a specific brand, specific size or characteristic when searching on Amazon. Instead of providing that brand and size, they provide other brands and incorrect sizes that waste enormous time for serious people. I've complained periodically to the customer service personnel, but have not once received a call-back. How in hell can the wealthiest person on earth allow this to happen? Because he's probably doing the pimp-walk and has personal buyers who buy products for him.

    I have many friends who earn well over $2-$5 million annually who are 'real people' who universally believe that Amazon will be in a a death-spiral if and when other large scale companies offer a similar service at competitive prices. I can't understand why the media hasn't picked up on this. Perhaps it's as simple as a free Amazon yearly membership or free tickets to a major sporting event.

    About a month & a half ago, I ordered 5 items on my Amazon account. I've placed several orders before & the biggest issue I have had was Prime is not delivering in the 2 day window. My order had gone over the estimated delivery date about 2 weeks, & reported it as delivered. So I called Amazon to find out where it was. The representative explained to me that my items were in fact delivered.... to a house two miles away from where I live in my apartment complex. Not only was the order overdue but they had delivered in to the wrong house, in a different zipcode. Awesome.

    I try as politely as I can to ask the rep how something like this could happen, & she says she'll make it right by sending out replacements. She can resend only the first 3 items, because the rest are issued by 3rd party sellers, so she refunds the rest & tells me I can re-order them through the website again, because, of course that's what I had in mind when a company makes a huge mistake like this.

    The order goes through processing & I receive my replacements in a couple of days, I'm satisfied, my refund goes through, all is good, & I forget about the whole thing. Until today when I check my bank account. I see 2 unauthorized charges to my card from Amazon, my first thought is identity theft, since I hadn't placed any orders, so I look up my Amazon account, & check my messages, it read that since they had never received the return for the items that were delivered to the wrong house & not to me over a month ago, they had decided to charge me again!

    Truly unbelievable nerve they have thinking that they're soo big they're untouchable & can RIP customers off like this! They essentially tried to steal money from me by giving me some made up excuse about not returning items to them. The rep that sent out the replacements never mentioned anything about returning anything, how could that have even been possible since I never received anything in the first place!! On a positive note, the rep I talked to fixed everything & issued a refund within minutes & even he was shocked how they tried to charge me for items that were shipped to the wrong home nearly two months earlier.

    I am so disappointed with Amazon’s customer service. I ordered two items as gifts for Mother’s Day, and specified a delayed shipping date of May 7th (which was offered by Amazon). I received notification on Saturday that one of the items would be delivered Sunday. I contacted Amazon and spoke with a representative, who assured me the package would be intercepted on Sunday since no deliveries are made that day. I later received notification from USPS that the item had been delivered. I called Amazon again and told them that I had another order set for delayed delivery, and explained how upset I was with the early delivery. I was informed a representative would be calling me back to discuss it. That never occurred.

    I contacted Amazon again yesterday and explained that I had received notification from UPS that the second gift I had purchased would be delivered today. I was promised by Amazon that the item would be intercepted by UPS and held until May 7th. Again, this did not happen and the item was delivered. It is embarrassing having to contact both recipients to inform them that their Mothers Day gifts shipped way too early, and even more frustrating that both recipients are out of town. The gifts are perishable and now absolutely worthless. I contacted Amazon again, only to have them pretty much say they were terribly sorry and all they could do at this point was offer a refund. This is the worst customer service I have received by any business, and I cannot believe that such a large company like Amazon does not have their logistics dialed in.

Over the course of three days I’ve had three representatives offer me a 15% discount to purchase a new reader. I can live with the fact that I am unable to further purchase books using this reader maybe because of age but one of the representatives decided to try and unregister my reader to see if that would help. In so doing my 196 archived books disappeared from my reader. Their solution to this problem is that all my books are stored in the cloud and that I have access to them via my other readers such as iPad and iPhone.

    That is true but I tried to explain to them that the Kindle reader allows me to read my books outside without glare. They don’t seem to understand the distinction between devises. It’s like saying to me, you have three children, so what if we caused the loss of one of them. Unbelievable.

Having a soft spot for MSI and Amazons Choice I hit "Buy it Now" in a moment of absent-mindedness. Upon reading the 8 reviews (seriously how is this Amazon's choice?!) I discovered the card not only was loaded with an almost 5 year old chipset (ancient in network tech), but half the reviews complained about it breaking in the first month. I immediately attempted to cancel the order.

    Amazon denied said cancellation due to the product shipping at any moment. The denial came back almost immediately which leads me to think their system is either 100% automated or some jerk didn't even try and just hit the easy button. So now I imagine that they'll deliver it and try to get me to go through the hassle of returning it. It's now almost 8 hours later, the product still hasn't left its facility according to their tracking information and is still not canceled. This is after spending almost $200 on a liquid cooler for my CPU that was DOA and they tried forcing me to go to downtown Berkeley which is super far out of my way. This isn't how you should treat your customers. I feel scammed and like I've been dismissed.

Nowhere at the point you pay does it state you will need to pay the postage to return the item. I contacted Amazon several times and basically for items not sold by them you are more or less on your own. The best they could offer is to pay postage and if the supplier does not pay up, they would try and claim, if not I would need to go to my bank and make the claim. In the meantime, the advert on /Amazon still remains unchanged and therefore others may have the same problem. I had ordered the locks as they had a particular style of thumb turn suitable for an old person. NEVER AGAIN.

    We ordered a bike for our granddaughter when it went on sale, only to have Amazon and the seller not confirm or honor our order. When you click on buy it again, Amazon shows that they have these in stock and available to ship in 2 days, but at double the price. Classic bait and switch. The seller still will not respond after a month, and Amazon will not honor the sale price. They tell me to cancel the original order and to reorder at the new price.

    I placed an order Friday, was suppose to get it Saturday, it doesn't happen. "Amazon says they delivered it to the wrong facility". Englewood, hello that's where I live. Next day said Amazon sends me another message. It's out for delivery. Guaranteed delivery between 4 and 9 pm and I can track the package, I start tracking the driver. They are down the road about 5 blocks. Guess what? Never shows up. I call customer service and they can't answer my questions on what is going on. Their answer was to call back in 5 days.

    Due to fraudulent charges on 2/14/19, I CHOSE to put a hold on my account. When I called back to have it lifted, they said they would send me an email with directions to do that. I have spoken with them 9 times since and STILL not lifted. Exhaustive details below from EVERY time I have called. Notes are below in order of most recent.

    I JUST WANT MY ACCOUNT OFF HOLD AND ACTIVE. 4/22 at 12:06 Spoke with Conor. Asked me if I have received a call yet? NOPE. He confirmed. Tried to get into Amazon help forums. The information I need is locked and I have to sign in to get view. Will not allow me to sign in due to freeze. Told him that. Also told him I am filing a complaint with the BBB today. He transferred me to Gerard, a supervisor. Said will back in about an hour. Put me on phone with Charles in account change department. He sent me email to turn off 2 step process. I go the email and it was wanted me to log in to my account. I CAN'T DO THAT. 4/17/19 8:35.... STILL NO CALL OR EMAIL. NOT FIXED.

    4/13/19 5:32 Up until today I have been able to watch prime on my smart TV. So, gathered the kids around to watch to purchase a prime movie. Tried to watch an amazon movie and said payment declined. Was given directions on screen to log into my amazon account. I tried. Wouldn't let me. Called amazon AGAIN. Called and spoke with Jose. Assured me 100% he will fix it. On hold for over 10 minutes. He transferred me to. They could not figure out why this has not been taken care of. They can see the notes of the problem but can't explain why the next step has not been taken to active it with the email. They haven't sent email that will unlock it.

    He stated that every time I call it starts the process over. I told him that every time I call they tell me the same thing. That "within 48 hours someone will contact me". I told him that after 2 weeks or more, still no contact, so YES I'm going to contact them again. So what am I supposed to do? He apologized. Will call me on Monday. Jose said that he can see that the account is ready to go someone just has to take the next step on their end. I was crying and told them that I'm tired of this. I have better things to do with my time. He took my phone number and said they will call me after 2 tomorrow (the time I requested).

    4/3 at 5.03 I reset my password. It STILL will not allow me to access my account. I called and spoke with Cecille account specialist. They will contact me via 24 hours email or phone. I told them that EVERYONE that I talk with continued to tell me the same thing and NOTHING happens. I demanded a phone call and NOT an email. He assured that I will get a phone call NOT an email. within 48 hours.

    3/24 at 6.55 I called them again to request my account be taken off hold. I changed the password again today and I still could not get in. Had to explain everything AGAIN. I spoke with Carla. She said I would have to wait for them to send me an email with a password to unlock my account or have her/Carla resubmit paperwork to start the process again which could take up to 2 weeks. I told her that I've been locked out of my account since 2/15. I have not been able to access my Prime account or do anything.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor. Spoke with Miranda, who claimed to be the supervisor. Account has been updated by account specialist; However, she is having hard time figuring out why I can't access my account. Still under the disabled account. She will give me a $20 promotional credit on my account for my troubles. Has to be fulfilled by Amazon.com. Will get an email with 2 business days. 3/13 - I called and could not get account off of hold that I voluntarily placed my account under. They told me to wait for email to walk me through the process.

    3/15 at 5.20 - Spoke with Ashley. Updated her on last phone call. We went through all info and charges. I explained to her the 87.47 WAS my order and that I got confused on the last call dated 3/11/19. She said she took my account off of hold and to wait 2 days for email with direction to activate my account. Might take 24 to 48 hours.

    3/11/19 - I put products into my cart. When I clicked on the cart to purchase, I was asked for my password. Didn't accept. I tried changing my password, said was accepted, then when tried to login with new password it would not allow it. Actually I've been locked out since 2/15 when I put the account on hold due to the fraudulent "teeth/toenail whitening" charge. They put me in the fraudulent priority. Will get an "recent changes" email to move forward with the claim. I spoke with Ray. 2/14, Form completed for unauthorized use on my account. I requested my account be put on hold just in case. Rep told me would have to call them to get account off hold. I understood.

    Purchased item on Amazon in late Dec 2018. Item was defective, let merchant know; even sent pics of defects to them. I didn't want to use this part since it was for the front steering, possible safety hazard! I had to pay shipping to return the part also. Amazon has opened numerous emails/contact attempts to merchant, who has said all along they would refund, in writing. The merchant now has the part, my payment for shipping, plus accrued interest on cost of part. They say they are "still searching their warehouse" for part, even though FedEx shows it was accepted at their facility, which has been over a month now. When I try and leave a truthful review, with no foul language, or non factual accusations, Amazon then blocks the review.

    Amazon has initiated all contact, and even they won't hold the merchant responsible. All you get from Amazon is another person each time you call, no direct contact with their employees to follow up either. The phone number for the merchant was answered by a teen, saying I had the wrong number. After numerous attempts, Amazon has declined to move forward, even if they have direct email replies from merchant that they will refund. Amazon says they can't completely control their 3rd party sellers. I have been trying to get a refund for 4 months and Amazon is now saying its out of the time period and I need to file with the Card company!

    Amazon has the power to resolve this issue. I am now closing my 6 accounts with Amazon over an issue they could resolve easily. Amazon's own internal policies are the issue here. You have no direct contact with the people creating the return disputes, supervisors who DO NOT follow up with the purchaser, and a new ticket is created each time you call them. Their default response is, please wait a couple more days.... Four months into this issue, even Amazon checked the FedEx tracking number showing merchant has had part for 5 weeks now.

    I've been a long time Amazon Prime member. For the past year, I've noticed a disturbing trend in Amazon "FREE" shipping. When shopping, it will state that if I purchase the item within a certain amount of hours shipping is "promised" on a certain date. When I click on the order button, that promised date is magically changed to a much later delivery date. I did contact Amazon Customer service, and they stated that the delivery date is based on availability and that the date can change "while" you are making your purchase. This happening a time or two, ok, the odds are it can happen, but to the extent that it is happening now? I am rather in awe.

    I own an independent and well established retail shipping store that is an UPS authorized shipping location. We have serviced our community for 32 years and are very well known and relied upon in our little part of the world. The Amazon QR scan code package returns methods has caused an alarming number of negative customer experiences. Only UPS Store franchises are able to scan these codes and help the customers. The problem is the average everyday person does not differentiate UPS stores from other authorized UPS shipping locations. They bring their items in and we have to explain to them why we can't help them.

    This situation actually occurs hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day throughout the US. Customer emotions range from disappointment to extreme disappointment to I'll never use Amazon ever again. We do our best to ease this unfortunate situation, but we the messenger and not the solution resolver at this point. This process must be explained in much more detailed fashion to Amazon returners or, better yet, expanded to allow non-UPS Store authorized shipping locations to participate.

    Why am I paying for prime delivery when every time for the past two months (5 deliveries) I get a notification that they couldn’t leave it because there was no secure location? Out of 5 deliveries they had no problem leaving the $60 video game out at the front door on the first delivery attempt but the $14 package with office supplies required two delivery attempts and a signature. One delivery I answered the door for the second time and was greeted by two people who did NOT speak English, today while I was waiting for the second attempt delivery (of cat food of all things, not a diamond bracelet) I had to run outside after the delivery guy to his rented u-haul truck and he was deaf.

    So again, no way to communicate. I don’t know why it’s “not secure” enough to leave my package at my front door but the delivery method is a rented u-haul or people’s personal vehicles. The delivery people have been much sketchier than the location of my front door. AND I updated my delivery preferences after the first two times this happened and specifically wrote where to deliver it in every box available and to PLEASE just leave the package. And that hasn’t done a damn thing either. Very annoyed and disappointed with Amazon.

I have called multiple times regarding digital gift cards being purchased through my account and follow up emails galore. It has been weeks and still no refunds or response from their “security department”.

    The primary customer service cannot see or access my account history to show previous information/emails and calls and one email says nothing was found to be wrong with no mentions of refund. And then 2 days later another digital gift card was purchased again! Every time I call they put in a “form” to their security team to get back to me. Meanwhile I cannot access my account due to a hold on it. I am so saddened by this whole situations as I have always loved and tooted Amazon as such a great company but now maybe it has grown too big that the quality customer service is no longer a priority.

So I bought another one and waited for it to arrive. I opened it and immediately saw that it had previously CAUGHT ON FIRE. There were very clear burn marks on the item. I appreciate the irony of sending me a smoke alarm that had previously caught on fire, but I didn't exactly plan on spending hundreds of dollars on a paper weight. So I contacted them again and informed them of being sent two clearly defective items in a row. However, for the second item they are refusing to issue a replacement that hasn't been on fire and are making me jump through hoops to get a refund. Absolutely awful customer service.

    Amazon's customer service has REALLY gone downhill in the last year. At first the reps were very helpful, caring and wanted to make the customer happy and it was like that for years then in the past year the reps started being a hit or a miss (with way more misses than hits - about 40 misses to 1 hit). You'd have one rep who would be super nice, helpful, wanting to make you happy and be sincerely apologetic if there was a problem then you'd have a buttload of other reps who would not give a flying rats ** about your problem and now all the reps are just straight trash.

    Instead of them responding within 2 hours like they used to do it now takes at least a day to get a response, I've had reps blatantly lie to me, had reps promise me that if I sent pictures of the damaged item they would either refund me or send a replacement but after I did what they asked they would never respond back, nothing would be done and they would continue to ignore me. All reps have this "I don't care it's your problem" attitude.

    Nowadays it doesn't matter if Amazon was the one who messed up your order, "Oh no it's our fault and we're expected to bend over backwards and take it up the ** just to be acknowledged". I kid you not it took me almost two weeks of messaging them a few times a day to be helped and that was back when they were a hit or a miss. Now I've had an issue that's been going on for three weeks now and I still haven't been helped and I'm no closer to being helped than I was the first time I messaged them.

    Amazon's customer service used to be AMAZING. I was honestly blown away many times with how nice they were and all the nice things they used to do (like give a refund and not require the item to be mailed back, give $10 credit to use towards an item shipped and sold by them, an extra month of prime or a $5 gift card put on your account) but now it's pure garbage and I absolutely LOATHE them and loathe even more having to deal with their **.

    And the sad thing is they're so big now that they can get away with doing ** like this. They went from being "the customer's always right" to "** the customer." Even in customer service messages their arrogance oozes off of the page "we're so sorry you weren't happy with our amazing service and that you're expectations didn't meet ours" (they actually said that to me in a few messages I got from them).

    If you've recently purchased anything you'll notice that on the checkout page they added a message that says "we guarantee your item will arrive on time, in perfect condition and as described" like if you really have to be arrogant to honestly "guarantee" people that the stuff they order from you will arrive 100% perfect. Amazon has their head so far up their own ** that they're close to imploding into nothingness.

    My 8 month pregnant wife, was sent to Chennai India from Dubai for her delivery and was unable to cope with the hot climate in Chennai. I decided to act urgently in getting her an air conditioner on an urgent basis. I checked Amazon, Reliance Digital and Flipkart. While all of them had almost similar delivery times, I chose Amazon as I've used them multiple times in Dubai.

    Sadly Amazon. It turned up to be miles away in terms of service compared to Amazon UAE. I ordered a Voltas 1.5 ton 5star inverter split AC unit (order number **) along with a V guard stabilizer worth 5k. The AC unit got delivered and the stabilizer never even made it to her door in Chennai and we received a msg saying customer refused product and hence being returned to seller. This was silly, but I did not care as the Voltas installation team that was coming were able to get a stabilizer and Amazon promised me a refund. When the installation team arrived, I was finally relieved, that my wife would be able to sleep peacefully tonight. The Voltas installation team to our surprise, said they could not complete the installation, AS THE GREAT GLOBAL GIANT AMAZON HAD SENT US A 2 TON INTERNAL AC UNIT WITH A 1.5 TON EXTERNAL UNIT, WHICH WOULD NOT MATCH.

    I made multiple calls, emails to customer service, who literally didn't seem to be bothered about how important this was to me. Priyanka at large appliances, first wrote to me asking for pictures and the log sheet from the installation team, to prove that it was a mismatch. I replied to her email asking for a call back urgently to explain the urgency of the situation as the great Amazon app WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IN MY DUBAI PHONE NUMBER FOR ME TO GET CONNECTED TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM.

    I then got on the chat option and requested for an urgent callback. Adnan from large appliances called me and literally refused to take the situation seriously, stating, "Amazon has a procedure and we would check your documentation you have emailed to us and once we verify it is genuine, we will let you know if we would replace it or provide you a refund and definitive timelines can be provided." When asked for a supervisor, Adnan replied stating, "A supervisor would tell you the same thing I told you" and when I still insisted I be transferred, he bluntly refused saying, "We don't have a supervisor transfer option available right now."

    Disappointed and disgusted, I apologized to my wife for trusting Amazon and tried to talk her to sleep. After trying upto midnight when she could still not sleep, I was literally broken inside and decided to call Amazon again. I provided my wife's number for the callback and asked my wife to answer Amazon's call and Whatsapp me so that I can call her and get conferenced with Amazon. This was a really expensive affair, considering the call charges from Dubai to India. We got on the phone with Anushka from the technical team of Amazon, who did well empathizing with us and understanding the situation. She verified all the documentation and tried to transfer us to the large Appliances team and came back apologizing saying the Large appliances team is closed for the day and there is nothing else she can do to help.

    I was devastated at how helpless Amazon had left me and shocked by the horrendous mistreatment of the global giant. I researched to check the seller, who was the real culprit and realized it was CLOUDTAIL INDIA, A company with no contacts available anywhere on the internet and from reviews seemed to be one of Amazon's largest vendors. If you are also a person like me who thinks, Amazon is a giant and should be atleast good at customer service, think again. I am never trusting Amazon in my life again and would suggest nobody to do so either.

Back and forth with Amazon, it was determined that a black one was not available. The only option they give me is to return it. I ordered this particular bag for a reason. I am going to keep the bag but no one wants to do anything about it. I finally just asked for a refund of $10 or $15 for the pain in the ___ this has been. Their response was that I could return it and return shipping charges would be waived. If I return I shouldn't be paying return shipping charges anyway. That is probably the cost of the return shipping charges. I seem to be left with no options.

    Just as a side note, a copy of this is going to Consumer Affairs. I finally asked for someone to contact me about this. Anything I asked or said always came back to, "Do you want to return it for a refund." Over two more days I was in their chat room, talked to 3 different people.

    I have recently open an Amazon.com account and try to purchase few items for my hunting trip because I found it for a nice price and I also try the 30 days Prime benefits. But anyway, after I was done purchasing my items for about $460.00 I receive my order confirmation and everything seemed to be good but after few min later I got another email saying that my order can't be processed and I need to verify my account and my credit card information. I had no problem with it so I provided my name and address that matched my credit card info. But I still receiving emails to confirm information on the credit card. And I have check numerous time if I entered the information correctly with I did.

    But Amazon.com still saying I didn't threatening me they will close my account. I think Amazon.com shouldn't lock you out of your account just because you entered the credit card details wrong as you could go back and change it. But now I can't even do that as I'm locked out and can't do anything and Amazon dosent want to help or resolve the situation.

    You pay $30 for shipping and the product shows up late. 3 times in a row I have paid for a guaranteed next day delivery. Once you check out you get an email from Amazon with an "expected" delivery date. That's pretty dirty, they take your money and tell you the delivery date is guaranteed, and as soon as your order is placed and everything shows up later than you need it to. Customer Service is a joke. I will never order anything through Amazon again.

    Amazon just blocked me from writing reviews for absolutely no reason. It says I violated the guidelines Which is a joke. And even some of my older verified purchase reviews are hidden by the sensitivity filter. I think it's pretty common knowledge Amazon is full of fake reviews and yet I can't review products they actually know I purchased. Even though I come across items with nothing but perfect 5 star non verified reviews constantly. What a scam. If it weren't for the free returns on many things I'd cancel my prime membership and stick to eBay. Just remember not to trust any reviews on Amazon and make sure you can return any items you buy.

    Delivery dates cannot be depended on and if you don't receive customer service is a joke. When you can get in touch with them their accent is so thick it's hard to understand. The carrier is usually blamed, same with late deliveries. Amazon sells products it won't stand behind and makes promises it has no intention or desire to keep. They just want your money to hell with the customer.

    After over a month of calls, emails and chat direct with Amazon I still have been unable to get them to return the 540 books I have purchased over 13 years from Audible. They are a disaster to deal with. Spent hours just waiting on the phone at my cost. I truly believe they hope I will go away. I have endeavored to escalate the matter over and over again, and all I get is a different Call Centre person who offers the same ritual response that does not help in any way. The latest was 19 days ago when I was told they could now return the books and all would be worked out, after more follow up as to why nothing is happening I was told it would be, you guessed it - 5 more days! This company needs to be kicked in the rear. I have a CASE ID and email trail to prove what I have just said. Although I did not tape the useless phone conversations - wish I had, as they are enlightening as to how terrible the service is.

    Ordered a product from Amazon.com in March 2019 and at that time I noticed that I was also charged for an Amazon Prime membership which I DID NOT subscribe to, nor do I want. I called the customer service number and I was told that it would not be a problem to cancel and I would receive a credit for the charge. It has been 6 weeks now and still no credit, so I contacted Amazon customer service again.... which I believe is in India, every time I call I get someone with a heavy Indian accent. I was told that a credit was issued but to date, no credit appears on my credit card statement. Amazon buyers beware that you could be charged for something that you didn't subscribe to!!!

    My Amazon account was hacked 3 months ago. I received a notification email from Amazon that there were fraudulent charges made on my account. As a result, my account was closed and I was instructed to create a new password. A couple hundred dollars of charges were reversed since their security department flagged them as suspicious. However, there were two charges that had already gone through my debit card. One of the charges was for a disturbing book titled Hate Notes which was mailed to my apartment.

    I contacted Amazon by phone immediately after receiving the emails from their security department. Only a few hours had gone by from the first fraudulent charge to when I contacted Amazon about my concerns. I specifically told the customer service rep to cancel the book delivery. I told her that I found it quite disturbing that a book titled Hate Notes was being sent to my apartment by the hacker and to cancel it immediately. She said everything was going to get taken care of.

    Two days later the book arrived. I was completely creeped out by the experience and upset that Amazon did not cancel the order. I called again and told the customer service rep that I wanted to return the book. She said she would reverse the charge and that I would receive an email with instructions on how to return it. I never received the email and the charges were not reversed. There was also a $50 gift card charge that was never reversed. I contacted my bank to dispute the charges and they said they would investigate. Amazon refused to acknowledge that those charges were fraudulent and my bank refused to continue the case and it was closed.

    3 months later and after over 15 phone calls to Amazon I have not received any resolution. They read the same script over and over again and anytime you ask to speak to a manager they say that the manager is not available. This same scenario has been repeated with every call over the last 3 months. I am completely disgusted and disappointed in their lack of concern for customers' private information and refusal to resolve customers' complaints. I am stuck with the charges of a gift card and a creepy book that the hacker sent to my apartment.

    Shortly after the hacking incident, there was an explosion in my apartment and then my car was vandalized. This has been an ongoing nightmare of disturbing events. I have removed my personal information from my Amazon account. It would probably be impossible to close my account since it would require ongoing frustrating and non-productive communication with customer service. Amazon has lost another customer. I am also telling all of my friends, family and anyone that I come into contact with that mentions Amazon about my awful experience.

    Fourth time I’ve had to call Amazon to sort “delivered” items that were never received. I’m repeatedly told to call back the next day because the runner may have marked the items delivered when they were not actually delivered! If that’s not false tracking IDK what is! Unacceptable customer service. Continually transferred from agent to agent and kept on long hold times. Runners have delivered to “secure area(s)” after specifically noting my account that packages should only be delivered to my door. Not left anywhere the courier thinks seems fine. I’ve asked for directive with a logistics agent as well and Amazon cannot seem to follow simple instructions.

    I was credited $10 dollars but that does not compensate for over $100 in lost items. Not to mention the time spent dealing with representatives that do nothing to remediate the ongoing issue. I’m honestly ready to cancel my prime membership. I pay too much to be treated so poorly by a merchant that could care less and can’t seem to fix its delivery issues. No problem charging me for goods but a serious issue meeting their own promised time frames and holding to their own self imposed company standards.

    This is the second time in two weeks that I ordered something new and was sent one that had been opened and returned. This item had a manufacturer's seal on it that was broken when it arrived and the items in the box were clearly opened from their original packaging. Yet Amazon employees sent it anyway as a new item. I paid extra for one day delivery and could not use the item because it had to be returned so I could get a new one.

    Amazon Prime is a legitimate joke. False advertisement of getting your packages on a date/time you pay for. Constantly being yanked around by the chain with "Please accept this as a token of our apology for the inconvenience." I've heard this so many times, it's absurd. I select a specific date of delivery/package arrival because I won't be available on later dates. Of course you'd think these people would care, but they do not. They think you spending $12+ for a subscription, of which gives you delivery benefits; though on the contrary, said delivery benefits aren't even given. They can't keep their act together here in the MN -- 55103-55106.

    To further my point, about not on time package delivery. Now, that they won't (not can't - so-far every reason they give is a BS excuse due to incompetent drivers, poor equipment and vehicle upkeep, and lazy attitude) deliver my package on the day I paid for. I'll more than likely have to hope they deliver the package the following day. So I don't have to take another day away from recently made plans. I am so sure they won't deliver it the next day, of course. It's such a joke of a business. I'm sick of it! Don't advertise what you can't DELIVER! PUN INTENDED!

When the contractor contacted me, he said that the starting price was actually in the $800's for labor, but that it could be significantly more. I got a refund for the services, but it was a hassle.

    2. I tried to book an installation for a garbage disposal replacement which Amazon lists for $99.21 for my zip code. As soon as you click it, it turns into $187.51. It's click bait and false advertising.

    It's officially been 2 months and 7 tries later that I've reached out to Amazon for a refund on an item I returned. They have confirmed the item was received and I am due a refund, however they are having trouble submitting it as a gift card claim, or returning it to my original form of payment. They say their system keeps cancelling my refund, but they can't figure out why. There has been 3 customer tickets issued, and I still do not have a refund. I asked to speak with someone in their I.T. Department and was told that they do not have an I.T. Department. Also, getting a supervisor was the highest level I could reach.

    I asked just to be given a gift card redemption code and I would redeem it myself, and was told they didn't know how to do that. I asked to just be credited the amount and that was a no go. I said, then just give me a credit on my Prime account and not charge me and they couldn't do that either. I was informed that they don't know what's wrong and can't fix it, I just keep having to wait 3-5 days EVERY TIME! I guess I'll never get my measly little $49.

    See below from Amazon seller. Amazon has been aware of the theft of packages & refusals of the USPS postal carriers to deliver for over 5 years now. Today they yet again stated they will continue using USPS, it's just "too convenient" for them, so as long as they get their billions of dollars, they do not care if the seller loses money nor the buyer. I have lost $1000s of dollars' worth of merchandise. I am notifying the shark tank investors as they frequently allude to the "amazon pipeline" & letting them know of the refused sales by USPS. USPS made NO attempt to deliver this package, my address is NOT undeliverable as 200 people live in this building & Amazon refuses to request the termination of the offending carrier. Thanks Amazon! Everyone go to the boycott Amazon website for future business.

    "Hi Jane, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it looks like USPS did indeed issue a "return to sender" on this package. We don't know why they did that, but I will now issue you a refund. We are unable to reship the book to you because USPS has declared your address as undeliverable by returning your package to us marked "Refused, Unable to Forward, Return to Sender." We do not use FedEx or UPS for shipping because the cost to ship small packages through them is very high compared to USPS. I would recommend ordering this book directly through the publisher and perhaps they can mail it to you via FedEx if you make that request."

    I live in London and a few weeks ago I ordered a telescope as a Birthday present for my nephew who lives in Switzerland. For all intents and purposes, I used the German Amazon branch as it deals with deliveries to Switzerland. The product arrived damaged, however. They were quick to send a replacement, which was admirable, but the return process proved to be a stress-laden nightmare.

    I was told that I need to arrange the return myself and pay for the postal costs as they will be refunded to me upon providing a receipt. They are refusing to arrange the pick-up or provide a prepaid label as I am expected, or my sister in Switzerland in this case, to cover the postal costs. The issue is that they will refund the cost for the refund into my account, which will lead to me losing money twice due to conversion rates from Swiss francs to British pounds and again from pounds to francs when sending the money back to Switzerland.

    On top of that, there are bank transfer fees I will also have to cover. They basically cut me off and are making me pay for a mistake they have made - an honorable and respectful approach! I have contacted customer service on several occasions only to be told that their system does not allow for the arrangement of pick-ups or to provide prepaid labels! Amazon, a global trader cannot arrange an international pick-up!

    The higher department I was referred to kept showering me with automated emails which made the whole experience even more disturbing. This undoubtedly has been the worst shopping experience I have ever had and I do not think that I will be dealing again with this arrogant and dismissive company!

    I think that trying to be the BIGGEST in the world at EVERYTHING, and CRUSH all of the competition, has finally caught up with AMAZON. The customer service is now mainly run by foreigners, who deal with most every situation by making up so much B.S. to try to appease the customer, and then you find out later, EVERYTHING they say they have done is total B.S.--a bunch of total lies to get them a good review, and hope the customer totally forgets what they say they have done to rectify bad products, refunds, etc. I am pretty much done with AMAZON. I have been a long time customer, but absolutely HATE their new way of doing business.

    This outside employment of mostly foreigners to handle issues, has made me realize, they no longer have a handle on things, and are relying on others who have low ethics and decide that lying and saying whatever sounds good at the time to handle things, is now the way things are done. It is pathetic and a sign of what TOTAL GREED does to a company in order for them to stay in business. I have a prediction, that AMAZON will NOT be the power player in the future that has crushed and dominated all the competition. Bad service, poor ethics, and unreliable information and promises made by customer service employees will drive customers to pay a little more, and receive reliable customer service. I do not blame the employees per say--I have a feeling they are under tremendous pressure to keep their job, and doing whatever is necessary, lies and all is now part of their job description.

    I was just trying to buy an item that had free delivery when I was prompted to try the Prime membership for free, then for £5,99. Knowing that it made no difference money-wise to what I was buying, I accepted it, only to find out from my bank account that I was charged £7,99 and that upon canceling it, I'd be refunded £4 instead.

    First of all, why did they prompt me to sign up for something for FREE, to try out, if they knew very well that I had had this subscription before, recently enough and so it would be just restarting it for a FEE? Secondly? What refund? I got no refund and my item was stuck in limbo, not being purchased with the subscription anymore. Because of that screen prompt, that made no sense given my account's history, Amazon literally STOLE my money! And for what? All I wanted was to buy an item and even that's not happening anymore. I think Amazon should be sued and sued for every penny they have, given that all these reviews are testimony of their money-grubbing ways.

    I recently signed up for a year subscription with Amazon. I ordered 2 items and paid with debit card. Before the items were even paid for, my debit card had been frauded through Amazon's lapse security. Thankfully, my bank immediately deactivated that debit card. Not wanting to go through this again, I immediately canceled my Amazon account. When I spoke to the representative to confirm cancellation, I was told that Amazon was going to credit my debit card for most of the yearly fee. Sounded good until I informed that person that the credit would not be possible to place on my deactivated debit card.

    This person actually tried to tell me to tell my bank to push the credit through! That is not how the financial industry works. I requested a check be sent. Her response was that the only way to give me a credit was to credit the debit card that is no longer active. HUH??! So, long story short, Amazon keeps their yearly fee, and I get nothing in return.
