    Worst Website for service #amazon. @amazonIn. I have Purchase 2 back cover from Amazon and I got 1 and rest one I didn't get. Even my money is already deducted so I have paid for both but I got only one product, I don't have such kind of expectation for Amazon because Amazon is "brand". Now I will not purchase again from Amazon. In market have numbers of competitor of Amazon like Snapdeal, Flipkart, Myntra, etc., they already provided.

    For some reason, all of a sudden, the past month nothing that is delivered by Amazon directly has gotten to me. I order a LOT of stuff online as I am legally blind and cannot drive. I've been an Amazon customer for over 15 years and a Prime member for 10 years. I have talked to Amazon Logistics about this shipping problem numerous times and nothing happens. The drivers keep leaving a note that says they couldn't access my property or attempted delivery but couldn't access the driveway or porch. I live on an open residential street and we have no fence and we are both home most days. This makes no sense, and Amazon cannot seem to fix the problem. One order I expected 5 days ago is STILL lost in the system somewhere--even though 2 different days it said it was on the truck out for delivery. Another order is now 2 days late--these are all Prime orders with 1 or 2 day shipping.

    Amazon cannot seem to get their act together with this shipping. I have requested that they put my on my account that I DO NOT want Amazon deliveries--unless as a last resort. THey said they can do this. Not sure I believe anything they say anymore. In the last month almost every order I've placed has been a problem. Get your act together Amazon!! Stop buying new companies until you have the original one under control!

    I ordered same day delivery on 3 items. Eventually, a good customer service representative figured out that amazon had handed my items to some random person living in some nearby apartment complexes by looking at GPS. Before that , I had the run around from customer service and from logistics. This was the second time in as many weeks that a same day delivery was many days late. The logistics person revealed to me that drivers sometimes marked things as delivered even when they weren’t. We both agreed that was lying

    I waited last weekend for my lost package and returned to the FAQ on the Amazon site Sunday when nothing showed up despite the promises. I returned to Amazon to research my problem. In black and white, Amazon states that They mark items as delivered IN PERSON to a customer despite the fact the actual delivery can take place 36 hours later. Way to boost your same day service numbers. It is one thing to have false advertising, but to admit it online is totally brazen. Go look it up.

    God forbid you ever have to try and resolve ANYTHING with Amazon. If so, you will be sorry you ever bought anything through them. As of today I've had my last straw. It pays to look around as now on average you can find many things for equal or lesser price but with 100% better care and service. All their customer service is done through extremely un-knowledgeable call centers in India. Aside from having an order cancelled by Amazon without telling me via email, text, or otherwise, an order I was buying on Cyber Monday to save $300, I was unable to complete the order after no less than 10 calls to multiple levels of support at which point each successively higher "supervisor" took no accountability in resolving the issue. At each time I was more than cordial and was hung up on at least half the amount of times. They cannot for a single instant think outside the box on how to resolve any issue I assume is not typical.

    Add to this fact that their delivery service DOES NOT alert you to when any package is actually dropped at your door in the way FedEx or UPS does. You would think the company now run by the richest man on the planet, Jeff Bezos, would have in place a service that texts your phone on delivery. They already have all your other information so why is this even an issue in 2018! I also have to now deal with their delivery service who for whatever reason left my two new 32" monitors in heavy rain when they could have set them 3 feet further ahead under my porch. Again, if I knew they had been delivered I could have also come home instead of allowing them to soak in a downpour for over 4 hours. How's that for quality service? (There is none!)

    I also want to point out how crappy the website is. As a web developer I could write a book on how it should be improved. What sticks out the most that others may notice is that reviews posted on any item are often not of the actual item you are looking at but is often filled with very "similar" items and thus being able to get any realistic or fair review can often be misleading and difficult. Also take notice of the hassle to find out which store or business will actually be fulfilling your order as Amazon is most often just a middleman between you and a vendor, where again, you may be able to circumnavigate Amazon and deal directly with the vendor via their own website...which as of now, I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I paid for a year subscription of Amazon Prime which includes 12 months of service (Paid May 14, 2018 through May 13, 2019) and on notated items there is a 2-day delivery selection as part of the Prime agreement if the Prime member chooses it (I did). I purchased the Sony TV on Monday, Nov. 26, 2018 online from Amazon; this product was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. I did not receive the TV at all on the Amazon "Track Package" page which stated "Delivery on Friday, Nov 30, 2018 by 8 PM". Secondly the tracking page had no Tracking Number nor Carrier listed. A tracking page is of no use without a tracking number. The TV was never delivered after my wife and I stayed home Friday, Nov. 30, 2018 from the afternoon until 8:00 PM per the document delivery date on Amazon's own page. My wife and I stayed home on Friday, Nov 30, 2018 solely to receive this Prime item.

    I called Amazon on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018 and spoke with a "Michelle". I requested my Prime account to be cancelled DUE TO NON-FULFILLMENT OF THE 2-DAY DELIVERY SELECTION I CHOSE AND POOR NON-FUNCTIONING software which did not have a tracking number nor a carrier and lastly NOT RECEIVING THE ITEM. I called on Monday and spoke with an Amazon employee named "Tashana". She quoted a $5.39 pro-rated Prime refund was credited to my Amazon Visa card for the remaining 5 to 6 months of Prime membership I still was owed. I told her this is absurd.

    I cancelled Prime on 12/1/2018 due to Amazon not fulfilling the services I paid for and should have gotten a pro-rated amount for at least January, February, March, April and part of May... and perhaps including December 2018 as well. I was charged $119.00 on May 14, 2018 for one full year of Prime membership - equates to approximately $9.92 per month for each of the 12 months. How does a $5.39 pro-rated amount even come close to being logical since I had only used this Prime membership from May 14, 2018 to Nov 30, 2018?

    "Tashana" proceeds to tell me it is Amazon's discretion to pro-rate a refund and secondly once you use Prime services twice... Amazon does not have to refund any amount EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT THIS TV WAS NEVER DELIVERED AND DID NOT MEET THE 2-DAY DELIVERY which pushed me to stop paying for a service I am not receiving. This was not the first time I let the 2-day delivery slide and I did not address it. Amazon may have grown too large to be as professional and honest which was their trademark a decade ago.

    First of all, I’d like to say I’ve been a loyal Amazon Prime customer for the past 5 years. I have never had an issue with my packages being delivered when it is delivered via USPS, FedEx, or UPS. However when Amazon uses their own carrier to deliver packages, it either is delayed in transit or not able to be delivered. I am paying a significant amount of money for my packages to be delivered via the Prime service Amazon offers. Since Amazon cannot stand up to their claims of “2-day free prime shipping” then I guess I will cancel my membership. Amazon, you need to get rid of your terrible carrier and keep using USPS, FedEx and UPS if you want to keep your prime customers.

    I purchased two items on Amazon.com. At the time of the purchase, the items were listed for $35.95 and $36.23. A week later, they were still listed for that price. However, when I looked at my credit card statement and then at the invoice received with the order, I was charged $51.98 and $41.89. When I contacted Amazon customer service I was told there is nothing they can do and just kept citing price fluctuations due to manufacturer stock. No matter how many times I explained that when I selected "submit order" the lower prices were listed, Amazon would not do anything to help. Apparently, if you order from Amazon, you need to take screenshots of your order to later prove the prices listed on their site. Unfortunately, the purchase was for water filtration replacements and had already been installed, so I could not return the product.

    Im really disappointed with Amazon. Bought 4 items Saturday and it said same day delivery guaranteed. By the way I'm a Prime member for a long time. So last Saturday my items didn't arrive, no notice and kept asking Alexa and she says it will arrive today. Then came Sunday I saw it was refunded, wasted my time chatting with Amazon representative. Why? I told them not to cancel and they said Tuesday, I thought originally same day delivery? Also why do they refund right away? What if I'm not checking for the status? It should be my option to cancel right? Is this what happens when the company grows? So very dissatisfied. Probably I will start looking for an alternative. Probably cancel my Prime too. I'm paying a lot of money for it.

    I have been a Prime Member for over 5 years and have never had so many issues with deliveries. Ever since Amazon took over their own shipping, I have had multiple items lost and almost all are now late, past the 2 days guaranteed. When I contact customer service, I will occasionally get a $5 credit "for my troubles," and a "I'm sorry this has happened to you." Most recently, I've had another item lost in transit. I received an email from Amazon this morning informing me that the item had been lost and I needed to contact them to either get a refund or replacement item. So, I did as told and contacted customer service.

    Long story short... I can't get a refund until a specialist has reviewed the case. What in the world?! I have NEVER had to have a specialist review anything. I could possibly understand if the item had been marked as delivered and now I'm saying it never was... But Amazon was the one who told ME that it was lost. Why do they have to have a specialist review something they already know? Not to mention the fact that the customer service agents are horrible now. I do NOT want someone to send frowny faces during my chat. I am not their best friend and I'm not 10 years old. My membership will be running out in February and I do NOT intend to renew. Amazon has become too large and too difficult to deal with. I would honestly rather deal with Walmart then go through this every. Single. Time. I order something.

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

    Found a charge on my amazon.com account I did not purchase, called and got a rude customer service employee on the other end. He got mad I kept interrupting his "speech" and I told him I didn't care to hear it, to just cancel this subscription I did not make. Come to find out Amazon has been taking $8 without my permission each month and this customer service representative did nothing to fix that unauthorized charge and when I told him he didn't have to be rude, he jumped all over me and told me I was being rude.

    Apparently he didn't listen when I told him I didn't need him to tell me what he was trying to say. I didn't need him to tell me anything, just do what I wanted him to do. I just wanted him to cancel it. He did nothing either to fix the issue that I did not authorize that subscription. Don't trust amazon any longer over one bad attitude employee. Will be cancelling my Prime and removing all my credit cards. Been a Prime member since day one. Will take my business elsewhere!

    Looks like there is a lot of issues with Amazon deliveries this year. I am a Prime member and it has been going on 4 days after today. It keep saying out for delivery and then by 5:00 it says issues with delivery. It wouldn’t be so bad except if they say a certain day you wait home and expect it hoping it is there and no one took it finding out that is not delivered. I am not sure what Amazon’s issues are this year, but you probably won’t receive your package in 2 days as promised so paying for Amazon Prime might not be worth it. Customer service is no help unfortunately.

    I purchased an item from Amazon, it didn't arrive as scheduled. So I did the online chat. I asked where the item was, turns out even though I received an email saying it shipped, it didn't. I've been a Prime member for at least 5 years, I was told to reorder the item and Amazon would WAIVE THE SHIPPING! I said I don't pay for shipping, I'm a Prime member, I was told five different times my shipping was going to be waived, and all five times, I said I don't pay for shipping. I even asked if he was reading what I was saying, since he kept saying shipping charges would be waived.

    What really got me was his English, several times I looked at my screen because the words were so out of order. I wondered if I was really talking to someone at Amazon. One sentence was "We shipping charges waived will be". Obviously, I asked what he was saying because I couldn't grasp what he was saying. I was transferred 4 different times. I was told I wasn't patient, the item just didn't get shipped, it should arrive in 7-10 business days. When I asked about 2-day shipping, I was transferred. I spent over an hour online trying to find out what was going on, and never did. Amazon's customer service has taken a noticeable nose dive in the past year. Obviously I won't be renewing my Prime membership.

    I've been shopping at Amazon for years. I've been Prime member for 3 years. This year is the last one I will be Prime member. After my Black Friday shopping, I think out of 10 deliveries, only 1 or 2 made it on time. When contacting customer support, they would usually care about the item being late and would try to help me or give me a compensation for my trouble. After a few late deliveries, I'm being told to be patient as it's a busy season and "is there anything else I can do for you?" I asked about guaranteed delivery service and the rep told me it's because of the overload of orders and that it's not under their control. Weirdly enough, I read everywhere that it's a guaranteed concept and they usually give a compensation.

    Back in the days, I would have my Prime membership extended of a month whenever I had late deliveries. I always give kudos to Amazon to do this as they basically took ownership and responsibilities of their lateness. Lately, when such things would happen, they would give me a 5$ compensation for my trouble. Now, they just don't seem to care anymore which is a big disappointment. Honestly, the 5$ is nothing... It's purely figurative but at least it shows that they want to make it up to me. But being told I have to be patient and that's it... That's not what Costco would tell me and I'm a member that pays roughly 150$/year for membership. Now, I will simply go back to regular customer for Amazon. With time, others will realize the same thing I did and slowly but surely, Amazon will start to tank like other big retailers who did not care about their customer.

    Good luck Amazon in the future. You might be the biggest fish at the moment but time and karma can be a **. ;-) And I believe in Karma. The fact that I took the time to write this waste already enough energy, especially considering the fact that Amazon will never read my review... But if you do, take action as soon as you can. Promoting Amazon at this point will simply confirm and justify that they can now ignore us even if we have trouble with our orders. Don't give them 100$/year for membership. Buy items elsewhere to avoid giving them all of the profit. Even if they price-match the same item, we, as customer, are giving them market share even if they barely make any profit on the item. I'd rather go helping local businesses that do care about my business than Amazon did this 2018 Black Friday.

    They have the most incompetent delivery crew I’ve ever experienced. Ever since the distribution center has taken over I’ve had nothing but serious problems with receiving my merchandise. They don’t know how to read house numbers, I find my packages on my neighbor's porch. They “lose” my merchandise and Amazon has to reimburse me and I have to start the order process over. They even record that merchandise was delivered and it wasn’t. Perhaps to someone else, but not to me! For that reason I will no longer be a customer of Amazon. I’ve given them ample opportunities to correct the egregious deliveries but serious and expensive mistakes continue to happen. Amazon was MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE when merchandise was sent by the US POSTAL SERVICE. They still charge the customers for shipping and handling but the service has gone severely downhill.

    I shop online a LOT. I like to use sites that offer discounts since I like saving money just like anyone else does. I have a couple of sites made up of mostly newer sellers that are willing to offer discounts on their products. You must be approved for the discount though since there are limited quantities available, and the approval process is anonymous! About 2 months ago, Amazon decided to revoke my ability to review products I've purchased, and did so without warning. They claim that I'm offering false reviews in exchange for free products, which is total **! How could I possibly be doing this when the approval process is ANONYMOUS, meaning I have to actually purchase their product before they have any information on me?!

    For 2 months now, I've been trying to get this reversed, even sending actual proof that I'm absolutely NOT doing what they are claiming. I couldn't even get anyone to respond to me until I filed a complaint with the BBB. That got their attention but I'm still getting weekly emails telling me they need 3-5 more days for their "specialists" to review my account. You revoked my rating abilities in 1 day, so why would it take more than 2 months to just reverse it?!

    At this point, I am beyond frustrated. Amazon has gotten "too big for their britches", and I 100% feel like they couldn't care less about their customers. It's not like we're the ones keeping them in business, right? Amazon may offer great prices, but they're not the only game in town. I have literally purchased over 200 items from them in about the last 3 months, and if they don't care about me as a customer, I'm sure someone else would love to have my business!!

    We had ordered the Kindle HD 8 Fire Kids Edition on April 10th 2018. I received it a week later and everything was great until my son ran the battery down. Then it refused to charge or set up and I was informed that this was an issue with Kindles and that I had to send it in for a replacement. When we received our first replacement It had a scratch along it. Within a week it turn from a scratch to a crack and I had to contact them once again on a replacement. Within a week I received our 2nd kindle which turned out to be refurbished and it kept freezing. Once again I contacted Amazon and send it in to get a new replacement. Received this refurbished Kindle and after 7 days whenever I powered it on it went straight to Amazon's reset menu. I was getting frustrated but went ahead and sent it in and waited for our next Kindle.

    This was on November 16th of 2018. By the 23rd I had not heard anything so I contacted them and they said that the replacement was on its way and it should be here within 3 to 5 days. Fast forward to today December 1st 2018. I contacted them again and they said that unfortunately the item is out of stock and I would not be able to receive my replacement. I would have to repurchase the Kindle at full price and they would reimburse me the amount once they were able to ship the item. I refuse to do that and asked about getting a refund on the item.

    The best that they would do after arguing with them for two hours was a $50 reimbursement. So we had a Kindle for less than eight months that had to be returned four times and end up receiving less than half of the item price. I will never buy another device from Amazon and as of now I'm looking through other websites to find another place to do my shopping. And I have pictures of each of the Kindles that I had issues on and have it on a review through Amazon.

    I ordered 17 items all at once from Amazon. Checked tracking and said all were delivered, however 3 items were never received. Checked with neighbors, nobody got my stuff. I work from home and my office overlooks my front porch, and I also live in a gated community, so the chance that something might've been swiped off of my porch is pretty much slim to none. Contacted customer service via chat and was told they can't refund or replace, and that I'll have to wait for them to "investigate." Keeping in mind that I literally order from Amazon at LEAST 2x week, every week, and I've never had an issue like this, it's ridiculous to be treated as though I'm in the wrong. The items missing total less than $40 (out of the $548 I spent on the order). Being treated as though I'm trying to scam the company out of these items is insulting and infuriating.

Ordered the same item from a Prime seller and the day it was scheduled to arrive, we were notified that the order was canceled with no explanation.

    Finally, the 4th order was scheduled to arrive by 8 p.m. on 11/30/18. A one-hour telephone conversation with customer service was nothing more than a waste of time. We had to request the item be delivered to a different address as we would not be here to receive it being that it was not delivered as promised, and Amazon C/S Rep could not accommodate this request. It seems that since we paid that 20% increase for membership, Amazon's product prices have increased, Delivery Service has ceased, and Customer Service is non-existent. Amazon is not worthy of our time or business because they no longer care about the paying customers who made them successful in the first place. I only gave them a "1" star because there wasn't an option to leave them a big fat "0". Shame on Amazon. You started something good, but you've lost the ability to maintain it.

    I couldn't return my item due to a hazard and I was told by an Amazon employee to "hide the hazard and don't tell UPS about the damage." I got hung up on twice. And one person in chat constantly copy and pasted the same sentence over and over again when I asked to speak with a manager because his solutions weren't working.

    I have been an Amazon Prime member for about 12 years. Over the last six months amazon has not been honoring their 1-day /2-day deliver service. I placed orders for next day deliver, but 2 - 3 days go by and I still have not received my orders. I just end up cancelling the orders. Why are you promising next day or 2-day delivery if you are not honoring that. Amazon gives you promotional credits to try and compensate you, but you can use it if the product is sold by amazon; issuing the promotional credit is not solving the delivery issue. Wake up amazon.

    I recently canceled my Prime membership. The process appeared to go well; I received confirmation of my cancellation and a refund for the current month in which I hadn't used Prime benefits. However, the next month my membership was reopened without my permission and I was charged at the monthly rate. I noticed the fraudulent charge and had to cancel my membership again. I was refunded for this month as well, but this kind of slimy business is indicative of the purportedly customer service focused electronic commerce behemoth. It is no different than stealing.

    Another member of our household made a purchase through Amazon. Per my previous review on 08/02/18, Amazon has a bunch of random people making their deliveries. Earlier today, there was a loud violent banging on our front door, to the point where it could only be described as aggressive (not "assertive"... AGGRESSIVE). Shocked at the rudeness of the person calling, I went to the front door and opened it within 10 seconds of the knock, and I saw the back of a young man of about 22 all the way down at the curb, jumping into an unmarked white van. Once again, Amazon's "employees" cease to amaze.

    Beyond that, I received a VERY forward (aggressive) email saying that I had violated their review guidelines in many of my "recent reviews". I haven't reviewed anything in a while, so this is completely out of nowhere. There was no example provided, no review cited... but basically a random threat to revoke my "privilege" to share my experience of... something. (I'm awaiting a response to my email inquiry for details.) I think they can keep their merchandise this Christmas season... maybe always. I'm not going to give my money to a company that so hates its customers and lacks basic integrity and honor.

    I order a lot of things on Amazon, so I figured I'd pay for the Prime membership for the free 2-day shipping. Over the past year, I've gotten at least a dozen late deliveries from Amazon that were promised 2 days. What really grates me is when the item shows that it will be delivered in 2 days, I then buy it and the order detail shows that it won't be delivered for a week or so; this practice is fraudulent since Amazon knows this but won't be upfront about it.

    Occasionally, Amazon will - while saying Prime and 2-day delivery - tell you that it will be a day or two beyond that. Just today, Amazon has a delivery estimate of some items I bought 8 days ago (Prime - 2-day!) being delivered by 8 pm this evening. UPS already drove by this evening, so I hopped online and the Amazon site still says delivery by 8 pm tonight.

    However, when I go to UPS website and track it, the items were just received in NJ (I'm in NC). I called Amazon to complain and they gave me a $5 credit (whoopee!) and further tell me that they have until Dec. 6th (another week) before I can file for a refund or re-order. REALLY? I've come to the conclusion that ordering from Amazon is NOT going to be my first shopping choice in the future and that Prime membership is a joke... Save your money as I will when I don't re-do it this coming year. Amazon seems to be in freefall as I've seen and heard a number of complaints from my circle of friends.

    I've been an Amazon Prime customer for over 10 years and I was very satisfied until recently. Starting about a year ago, the two days guaranteed delivery started to gradually miss the delivery day. At the beginning I thought that was just problems because of the implementation of Amazon logistics in my area. But I now realized that the Prime shipping has become totally unreliable, with just about any of the carries due to the fact that they just keep transferring the packages back and forth between UPS, FedEx, USPS and AMZ during the delivery. And with this, tracking becomes useless and often packages get lost or are late several days.

    I wish at this time we could have an alternative to Amazon, but the fact is that other e-commerce sites do not offer same variety because they do not have so many merchants, creates what I feel like a monopoly. Bad Service and no alternatives.

    I have ordered from Amazon for years. Last year (2017) I started to have problems with deliveries, customer service, and inaccurate reviews. As a Prime member you are guaranteed overnight or 2 day shipping on various products. Deliveries stopped coming on time even though I was paying extra for the service. I realized that I could never rely on Amazon again when 7 out of 10 Christmas gifts I ordered with guaranteed delivery dates didn’t show up until after Christmas. Each gift was from a different company so it wasn’t as if just one company made an error... and they were all ordered 2-3 weeks in advance. When they didn’t arrive on the guaranteed dates I called customer service and was guaranteed another date. Still did not receive the items and all the while the items were still being offered for sale on Amazon with a guarantee to arrive before Christmas.

    Finally, 2 days before Christmas I was told I would have to reach each company myself and take it up with them. Those gifts were for my children. From then on I only ordered from Amazon if the delivery date wasn’t critical and canceled my Prime membership that had become useless. Then I realized that a lot of the items I purchased based on great reviews clearly did not deserve 4 and 5 stars. Everything that drew me to Amazon in the 1st place was gone? The reviews were not reliable, the delivery dates were not reliable, customer service simply told me to contact the sellers if I had a problem (which was next to impossible)... Amazon was not standing behind what they sold or the companies they were in partnership with.

    Finally I was locked out of my account with a message saying someone other than me tried to order on my account with a number to call. Nobody had used my credit card so I’m not sure what they were referring to, I could never get a person on the phone or an answer to my email messages. I can still order on my husband's account but I won’t because I find the way they are now operating as criminal!

In Sacramento, CA, the level of service is so bad, I am reducing my orders from Amazon. They need to get their act together and consider increasing their use of UPS and USPS. We have had packages delivered to the wrong address which causes us to have to knock on neighbor's doors and ask if they have our packages. We had a recent order where there were 3 items under the same order number. Only 2 were delivered yet, Amazon.com stated that the items were "handed directly to a resident". This was an absolute lie by the contracted deliverer. The two items that were left were simply placed on our porch!. The third item simply wasn't delivered. Who knows where it went.

    Last week, we had items that were supposed to be delivered by 9 PM. At 8:15 PM I could see that the delivery person was in our neighborhood. At 9 PM, the message changed and Amazon said the items would arrive 8 days later. Who knows what happened. That delivery still hasn't taken place.

When it rains, the delivery representative will leave unprotected packages on my doorstep where there is no cover. UPS and FEDEX treat my packages with TLC by covering/wrapping them with plastic bags. This extra step helps to reduce returns to Amazon for damaged products.

    If they would simply ring my doorbell, I could retrieve the package promptly because I am often home when deliveries arrive.

    While I do use Amazon regularly I have come to this piece of advice for others - Beware of what you order together because it may ship together and create problems. Items are often thrown into over-sized boxes with no packing or product safety concerns and shipping will cause disturbances that can cause damage that would have easily been avoided with a little care. Case in point - I ordered a soft cover book, a Christmas gift, and a tub of fireplace creosote remover on the same day, not thinking that all would be thrown into the same box with no protection.

    Well, sure enough, the creosote remover tub lid came off coating everything else in a fine, nasty powder. The lid was not taped, secured, or covered to prevent spillage or contamination of the other items. The book was not in a bag or wrapper, and the cover was damaged along with the dust. Fortunately the gift was wrapped by the manufacturer and took some cleaning to bring back, but no damage. There is no need for such carelessness.

    Until October of this year, I have been an Amazon Prime member for 9 years. For the first 8 years, I could only praise Amazon and tell everybody that I knew they should have an account. I don't know what has changed with their customer service but it's gone completely down the tube. They change delivery dates after items have been ordered. They promised you two day shipping but what good is it when they don't ship an item for 6 or 7 days? That happens all the time now. I will buy something on Monday will be told it would be delivered Wednesday. After I purchase the item, 7 days will go by until it ships and a new delivery date is revealed. I've even placed orders and received a package sealed with absolutely nothing in it.

    Calling or messaging Amazon is a joke. I believe they outsource customer service to foreign countries. I don't have a problem with that, but I've tried many times to explain things two different representatives and they have no idea. If you complain too much, they ban your account. I always leave reviews on everything I buy. I probably left a hundred thousand reviews in the nine years I was a customer. Most of the time, I leave at least a four star review. September I ordered an item. It arrived broken. I messaged the seller who ignored me. Five emails I sent in two weeks with no response. I left a bad review. Guess what? I got banned from leaving reviews. If you leave a bad product review, the seller can dispute. Once they dispute, they're always in the right. Not only was I permanently banned from writing reviews, but every review I'd ever taken the time to write was deleted.

    I tried contacting customer service for a month. I kept getting told that tomorrow this issue will be fixed and you will be able to leave reviews again. That happened about a dozen times before finally somebody told me this decision is final, you can never leave reviews again because you confuse the system and or are leaving profanity in your reviews and or are in relationship to a seller to provide them with reviews they do not deserve. That makes absolutely no sense. After I received that email I proceeded to ask them what they were talking about and if they could explain it to me in a manner I could understand. The next day my account was closed. As if it never even existed.

    Amazon really sucks now. It's not worth the hassle. I've been buying from Walmart.com Pernod membership fee. Every single thing on Walmart.com is cheaper than Amazon and they give it to you with two day shipping and no membership fee. They also ship the items you purchase either that same day or if too late, the very next morning. I really hope Walmart.com or Target.com shut down Amazon permanently. Horrible company to try and resolve an issue with. My issue isn't the only one. They've cancelled a million subscriptions and had the same customer service practices as they have with me.

    Recently had bought a Sewing machine motor from Amazon price at Rs.968 and had to self-return the product, courier charges Rs.450. It took more than 3 weeks to solve this issue and receive the refund. Amazon CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A NIGHTMARE. I called Amazon more than 10 times in 3 weeks, visited the courier office nearly 5 times to check the delivery status. On one of the calls, Amazon told they would contact the seller and get back to me (which they never did) and at a later point on another call they told have placed a request with the seller to contact me (insensible). And finally after 3 weeks got the delivery confirmed personally calling the seller (recipient), he said that he had already received the item a week ago.

    Immediately after this called Amazon once again then they proceeded with the refund Product+Courier charges (i.e. 968+450). Usually refunds happen via the mode of payment done during purchase, in this case Net Banking, the amount of Rs. 968 was sent to the bank account after deducting a cash back they provided and the Courier Charges of Rs.450 was requested to be sent to the Bank Account linked with Amazon, thanks to the customer care they sent it to the Amazon Pay Balance as a Gift Card.

    When asked they say that it is their policy that the money cannot be moved from Amazon Pay to any other Bank accounts/wallets. The supervisor who I spoke with is a total idiot. He says you can do recharge or buy something with the money. Now the money is held up in the Amazon Pay which will expire in 12 months. Let me explain the strategy (trick) here, once you add money to Amazon Pay. It does not give an Expiry Date for the value, but if it is added as a Gift Card, it has a validity of 12 Months; which forces you to do some purchase/recharge/bill payment. Anyway they control your money as well as your mind. This will make you visit Amazon once again and they get their traffic and advertisements sold. I know it is a long review, but it won't cost you 3 weeks, 10+ calls an average of 20 mins on each call with Amazon Customer Care, 5+ visits to the Courier Office and Rs.450 like me.

    For 6 months (maybe longer) every item I purchased from Amazon and was shipped via the US postal Service (USPS) has failed to arrive, yet USPS claims it is delivered. I have since learned from other people who have witnessed the deliveries, that USPS was simply leaving items on the sidewalk, in an area rife with property theft issues. Every time, Amazon would resend the items or issue a refund and make me repurchase at a higher cost. If they resent the items via UPS or FedEx, I would get them. Every time they sent an item via USPS, if it was too big to fit in my mailbox, I would not get it. 100% failure and I mean 100%.

    Everything I order was not too expensive. Most items were under $50, a few were more. The last item, which triggered my current issue, was $757 on sale and I chose a series of installments. It was an Asus display, specifically a ROG PG27V. USPS left it on the sidewalk and it went walkabout. I tried to get Amazon to send a replacement or issue a refund for the initial payment. They refused, because USPS claimed it was delivered. Some reps told me it was still on its way. They all lied to me and said it would be handled. The lie they told were quite insulting, frustrating and angering. After 2 months, with Amazon continuously trying to charge me for the installments, I was told they needed a police report. I told them I need the serial number to file the police report.

    I was then told, after a series of run-arounds, that Amazon doesn't keep a record of serial numbers (why would they? If they did that, customers could file police reports and Amazon would have to replace the items.). After 2 weeks, when the item was obviously stolen and Amazon kept lying to me (trying to get past the time period when a chargeback could be issued,) just stringing me along, I went to my bank and issued a chargeback. Now, I keep getting emails from Amazon about failed attempts to charge my cancelled credit card and how they will charge me if I ever give info for a new credit card on my account. I tried about 2 weeks ago, one last time, to get Amazon to resolve the issue.

    I was handed, without warning, from 1 rep to another. Each one read, say they are sorry, then say they will fix it, then say they can't and away a I went, to the next. After about 50 minutes, I hit rep number 10. Rep number 10 didn't say anything. Rep #10 terminated the connection and then terminated access to my account. Now, I get harassing emails from Amazon and have no way to get them to stop. The emails they send are all from a "no reply" address. Amazon has gone from a customer-centric business to an overly automated, nightmarish fraudulent entity. They triple standards: The standards for sellers on Amazon, the standards for Amazon with low price items and the standards for Amazon with high price items.

    I have items I purchased from Amazon, which are now useless because I can't supplies for them anymore. I have been injured and insulted by Amazon and their new policies, which are basically, "Lie to get the money, lie to keep the money and once you have the money, who cares about the customer or the product/service they paid for."

    If Amazon had paid attention to the months upon months of complaints about USPS not delivering, because they are too lazy and have no incentive to actually do their jobs, and gave their customers options for shipping carriers, this would not have been a problem. Instead, Amazon decided to save a couple dollars on shipping cost, lost the $757 item and a customer who spent thousands per year with them. I sincerely hope they get sued into a oblivion with a very pricey class-action lawsuit that covers the lies from the customer service people as fraud, as well as the refusal to replace items not delivered, as fraud and all their other fraudulent claims and practices.

    I have bought one MuveAcoustics earphone worth Rs 600 and when I have received and opened the box, I found the earbuds completely fill with dust; moreover the box was not sealed, it was just untidily taped. When I raised the request to refund my amount into my bank account, I was not getting the option. Also, I called the customer care yesterday to initiate the refund request and I will not do any more shopping with Amazon, but nothing happened and I have not received any confirmation. Again, when I called the customer service they told that there is no option for refund and I can only replace the product. I mean what, executives are not clear, sellers are selling used product.

    So, Amazon is pushing the heck out of their "Prime" service. Unfortunately, prime has become "sub-par." Amazon touts 2-day shipping with their Prime service. That is stated in the agreement, as well as on every order marked "Prime." When we ordered some lawn mower blades marked "Prime", the order, placed on August 13, for delivery on August 23. How is that "Prime 2-day shipping?"

    We contacted "customer service" by phone to request they correct what we assumed was an error, only to be told that "two day shipping is only guaranteed if we live near the shipping location. If we do not, there is no guarantee of 2-day shipping." What the heck! This is BS! They said they would "make it right" with a $5 credit that we had to use within 14 days. We requested the free month of Prime for problems with Prime orders only to learn THAT was discontinued in September of 2018 (with no announcement). Well guess what? We are canceling our "Prime" subscription. Walmart.com has a similar program with no fees. Jet.com has a great selection and often has free shipping. There are too many options to pay over $11/month (IF you pay a year in advance, much more if you do not) for better service.

    Lastly, in the past week my reviews have been rejected and my ability to review my purchases has been disabled not once, but TWICE! When I contacted "customer support" I was told that this is a technical problem affecting "a lot of people" and I should "try again in 24 to 48 hours." I think not. Jeff Bezos, now I understand why you said that Amazon will likely go under someday. With policies and support like this, it will be sooner than later.

    I recently purchased a men's mountain bike and assembly service from Amazon. The bike arrived with a broken part, but it was not detected until during the assembly (for which I paid Amazon $90). I tried to contact Amazon to see if they could help me, but they stated that for products supplied by 3rd parties. (Isn't that almost everything they sell??) They won't help and their policy is for me go chase their supplier myself. It seems common sense to replace just the broken part rather than disassemble and return the entire bike at a far higher cost, but there seems to be no way to get Amazon to listen to this nor support the product THEY SOLD. My conclusion: they are a good place only for buying things that will likely never require customer service or a warranty follow-up.

Instead, they want me to wait 2-4 DAYS after the mis-delivery to CALL BACK (and go through it all again) to try and get a refund or replacement and I wasn't given this info until I was bounced around several times over the phone. Customer service, when they can understand you, doesn't do ANYTHING now.

    Over the last few months, the Prime items I'm ordering from Amazon are consistently late. Very few are delivered within the Prime 2-Day shipping window, and many are delivered days or even WEEKS later. I ordered a box of pens on 11/9, marked as Prime eligible for 2-day shipping, and they didn't arrive until 11/20. I called customer service 3 times during the waiting period, and was eventually issued a refund for the item even though I got to keep them when they arrived. I placed an order on 11/19 ago for a housewarming gift for a friend that was slated to be delivered today (11/21, the day before Thanksgiving). I just got an email that delivery has been pushed to 11/22-11/24, which is after the housewarming party that I need the gift for. I attempted to chat with an Amazon customer service agent, who was useless and refused to do anything - he would not refund the item or my Prime membership, offered no apology or explanation.

    I called customer service and asked for a supervisor, who I re-explained this whole situation to, and also refused to do anything. If he issued a refund, he would have to cancel the delivery of the item (I call BS) and he would not refund my Prime membership (which really seems like the least they can do at this point). I asked to speak to the same supervisor that handled my issue last week, he refused. I asked for another supervisor and he said "No, I won't do that", so I hung up - because this is INSANE.

    I just tweeted at @AmazonHelp begging them to value their Prime members more than this and have not seen a response come through yet. Bottom line - they must do better.

But, the driver has driven to a different city and Amazon shipping company website tells me that the package will be likely delivered on the 20th.

Enter employee Ruchitha. I was trying to get a print out label for my roommate since he doesn't have Prime and isn't really internet savvy. After he had bought a dvd that wasn't playable in the country, he called customer service and a rep said they were going to send him the correct one. They sent him the same, wrong item. So he had 2 returns to do.

    He called and they emailed him the link to the return label. (Mind you, it was one return label, for two separate items, which was wrong off the start). I wanted to print the labels out and take them to UPS myself, since I had another return of my own to send back. Well, I spent an HOUR on the chatroom with Ruchitha. She kept stringing me on, purposefully, sending me the wrong information, clearly being unhelpful made her feel better. For half an hour, she kept telling me to check roommate's email address as she has sent the correct return label. It never got sent, he had to check his phone 6 times and didn't receive a thing she said. She only sent me emails regarding my Amazon account and recent returns I had made. And she avoided answering any standard questions I had regarding what she has said.

    From the beginning, she was taking way longer than necessary to get to the point. Nobody should be in a chatroom for 50 minutes with a "customer service representative" trying to resolve a problem that could have been cleared up in 15 minutes. It is the last time I will use Amazon chat services. Why develop and implement such a thing as "Customer Service Chat" if it's going to cause even more problems than Phone Service. And why hire people with poor customer service skills. It's a chatroom for God's sake. Nobody was forcing her to do to anything physical or mental.

Along with the rising costs of Prime, vendor quality declining and near non-existent customer service these days, I expect I won't be a Prime member for long... And not by my choice either. Tales of members having their accounts terminated are becoming more frequent these days along with vendor dissatisfaction stories. In response, I have started finding other sources for the items I want. AMZ is too big to fight and with a little research, you can find just about any product for the same or less.

    Guys, Amazon say customer satisfaction is first but I had a very very bad experience with Amazon 2 days back. I had ordered MI A2 phone 10 days back and since I was out of station, the moment I ordered the phone I gave a call to customer support to reschedule it. They assured me it would be delivered on 14th November as per my request. After all this communication you won't believe the courier guys used to give me a call daily for delivering the product and I used to tell the same story that it's being rescheduled to 14th. It was really irritating and disheartening.

    I had invested so much time to buy this model. In fact I got it at a very good deal (around 10800 including a pay offer) because I got it during the Diwali sale. Finally on 14th I got a message on phone telling my order would be delivered before 9pm but no one came or called me. I called customer support immediately because I was afraid if the order would get cancelled. They gave me false promises telling delivery would be attempted in 24 hours. My bad luck, nothing happened after that. Yesterday (17th November) I got a message telling my order got cancelled for no reason.

    I seriously don't understand what internal problem or organizational flaw they have in communicating the same to delivery partners. From my experience customer service guys have no role in rescheduling the courier. They are simply sitting there to give false promises. The delivery partners and customer support have a complete 180 degree phase shift, whatever you tell them will not be communicated to concerned department.

    I escalated the issue and spoke to a supervisor in customer support. He just told "I understand that you were waiting for the phone and you got it at a very good deal, only thing we can tell you is we couldn't serve you better this time and we are helpless at this time. We shall hope for more offers in future so that you can place the order." Such a irresponsible and illogical response. Also the order got damaged during transit-it seems so it was returning back to warehouse. My question is if it is damaged during the transit then wasn't their responsibility to get me a replacement? Those who read my message one humble request is don’t trust on customer support guys. They only talk well and give you FALSE COMMITMENTS. If AMAZON doesn't change their strategies I am sure you will be soon wiped out of the market, the only reason being customer dissatisfaction.

    I had been a long time Amazon and Prime customer. Although I rarely post reviews, my review privileges were permanently disabled due to their assertion that I was not abiding by community guidelines. After emails and calls to customer service to understand what happened, the only information I received was that they asserted that I was somehow connected or receiving compensation from a vendor for my reviews. This couldn't be further from the truth. With no way to resolve the situation I closed my Amazon account and ended my relationship with their services.

    Amazon has a problem in that they were getting a large number of bad actors and had to crack down on fraudulent reviews and have done so with zeal. Unfortunately the bad actors adapt and get better at not getting caught and finding new ways in. Good customers, can get accidentally caught in a simple mistake or be a victim of stolen user data with the limited tools and policies that Amazon currently has to monitor reviews. Instead of working with the customer to resolve a potential mistake or misunderstanding which in the long run would be better for everyone, Amazon simply cuts them off with no recourse.

    Basically they are big, make lots of money, and don't care about the collateral damage of their policies on some customers. For me it was a matter of principle. Now that there are many good alternative vendors out there (many offering free shipping to compete), I'm going to take advantage of that and not reward Amazon for unfair customer service behavior in the future.

    We ordered a furniture storage bench. Box and package arrived damaged. Spent 4 days trying to resolve the issue with customer service. Customer service over email authorized refund that did not have my consent and requests furniture to be shipped back with us going out to get a box. Called them back to explain to them the situation. Agreed to have company sent a replacement and the damaged furniture will be shipped back in the new replacement box. Card was charged again but replacement was not scheduled as originally promised and told that it could not be done this way. We wasted 4 days trying to resolve this issue. Just a terrible experience overall. Wasted our time and money.

    By the end of the ordeal, I likened what they are requesting me to do as a relay gauntlet for something. I have kept my end of the bargain. We went above and beyond as a customer with our time and money only to have limited options from supervisors, who really does not have any more authority or creative solutions than the other agents. So we are keeping something that does not work and eating the cost.

    What is sad and upsets me is that Amazon is so pervasive now that there's really nothing I can do but let them set these terms. I usually don't like to leave venting reviews but this has been such an emotional and personal taxing ordeal that I felt compelled to share. I do appreciate that a few agents I spoke to remained calm and tried to empathize. However, at the end of the day, they made me pay for something that was damaged. They still wasted my time and money (and requests more of my time and effort to fix the multiple mistakes they created) and I feel that should not be overlooked.

    In the past couple years the company has really gotten bad. Shipping out used items they claimed were new, shipping me out empty packages that are stamped by USPS saying "received with no contents" And then when I write a review stating the facts that they sent me an empty package they have now blocked me from writing any reviews at all. I was in the top 1% of ranking reviewers and now I'm blocked because they say my review is biased? They shipped me an empty envelope... Simply put, if you don't agree with Amazon or have anything positive to say you're not allowed to post, they had become just like Facebook. They have even removed the not helpful button from reviews, only positive lies are allowed. Now you can't write the truth.

    They raise the price from $99 to $120 but the service got worse. First, their own brand delivery company (Amazon Logistics) used to false claim the packages have been delivered but in fact, they lost it in transit. Second, their customer service is extremely ridiculous! They refused to assist, appear impatient throughout the call, transfer me to different department back and forth. Lastly, most companies do not recognize Amazon. No warranty even if you pay full price. I suggest you buy directly from the official site. They usually offer free shipping. Don't waste your $120 for unreliable shipping and service.

    I cannot give a review on this because I have not received it. I ordered it and two days later got an email that it was going to be late. I called Amazon and talked to a supervisor because the email had said that it was sent to the wrong shipper and in fact it was not even shipped out yet two days later. The supervisor said she would call and do what she can to get it out. I received an email the same day that it was finally shipped. Just received an email again two days later saying it is not on track and will be late again. I looked to see why and instead of it going from Baltimore to Charlotte no it is now in Philadelphia. Amazon is so incomparable. Late shipments are a norm for Amazon lately. If you want something for Christmas do not get it from Amazon. Get in from any place else. At least you will have it in time.

    UPDATE: I seldom order "same day delivery" - I just don't have the need very often. But I have used it about 3 or 4 times. I have never received the item I ordered on the same day. Never. But I haven't ordered very often; so I have just chalked it up to being random. Last night (Thursday night), my backup hard drive began to fail, and I needed to order a replacement ASAP. Because my work day today was so packed, I decided to try the same day delivery option. I was careful to check before I submitted the order to make sure that, indeed, it was scheduled for delivery by 9 pm tonight (Friday night). The website even said "Delivery by 9 pm Friday."

    I received an email at 5:59 pm stating, "Your package will arrive Friday, November 16th." "On the way." Then, I received an email at 8:04 pm stating, "Your package is still on the way, but it's running late. Now expected November 17 - November 20 — most packages arrive in a day. We’re sorry it won’t arrive today, and we'll let you know when your package is out for delivery. You can always track your package for the latest updates."

    Really? What about that "Guarantee?" At least they are consistently inconsistent. But I can't wait, so I am going to cancel the order. Amazon shouldn't have a "Guaranteed Delivery" statement when they can't meet that expectation. Not only can't they meet that expectation, but they have given themselves permission to delivery up to 5 days late. I ordered on the 15th. As I mentioned in my other review, when you choose a company that has "free delivery," you truly do learn the meaning of "you get what you pay for." I love the Amazon concept; however, I would prefer to buy from companies with dependable delivery services.

    Original Review: Over the past few months, the delivery service for Amazon has dropped to the lowest level I have seen. I live in a gated condominium community (no office) where Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc all have access codes to enter the property. In the past, Amazon used UPS or FedEx for most deliveries, so we didn't have any issues. Apparently, as a means of saving money, Amazon uses non-employee delivery people (somewhat like Uber) to deliver packages, and there is no way to guarantee anything about deliveries anymore.

    Some of the drivers have started throwing the boxes over the fence into the garage - often breaking the items. Other drivers have been leaving packages in random places around the parking garage. Sometimes those packages are stolen. The company we have managing our property and I have tried to reach someone at Amazon to figure out a solution, but it is like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Nothing changes. I'd rather pay extra and order from another company who uses reputable delivery companies. At some point, "free delivery" truly becomes an example of "you get what you pay for."

Until the last 2 months, whenever I ordered Prime I would receive my products within 2 days. Now I'm receiving products 3-5 days - what am I paying Prime for? Also Amazon's prices have gotten higher than other providers, but I thought that maybe the cost of convenience, along with paying Prime.

And NOW I go out to my mailbox on a RAINY day to pick up a package and discover it was DROPPED IN THE GRASS NEXT TO MY MAILBOX!!! I was on the fence about a membership renewal in 2019 but now I doubt I will! The best thing about the OLD Amazon was their customer service and they've lost that completely!!!

    Updated on 11/17/2018: I ordered a men's thermal shirt on November 1, and today is November 17!!! The second item I ordered with the shirt came more than a week ago but not the shirt. Even without Amazon Prime 2 day delivery this is unbelievable! And concerning the 2 day Prime feature that no longer exists, I was never even given a heads up that it was not going to be available anymore. This shirt is an example of what happens when Amazon leaves the shipping up to the individual sellers and I'll be using Amazon a lot less now and not paying for a Prime Membership a year from now. This experience may be unique and doesn't happen often but I'd rather drive to a store and make sure I have the item than rely on ordering things like birthday and holiday gifts and not know if they'll arrive in time!!!

    Original Review: I'm very disappointed with Amazon's decision to end their two day Prime deliveries!!! That was the #1 of the reasons I bought a membership! I doubt I'll keep the membership next year. If I have to wait weeks for an item due to the seller's discretion, it's not worth it to me.

I purchased tires for my car. Amazon promised to deliver 2 days later. 5 days later - NO TIRES. We call customer service and they tell my husband all is well - they will be delayed. 10-days later - NO TIRES. This is of course after my bank pre-authorized $805. My husband calls again - customer service rep tells him that the tires are NO LONGER AVAILABLE from that seller. We tell the seller, Forget it, cancel the order and we will buy elsewhere.” The rep cancels the order and sends my husband an email that order was cancelled.

    2 weeks later, Amazon takes $805 out of my account. We call and inquire, they tell us that the order was never actually cancelled by the last rep. BUT only 2 tires are available and they already shipped, so too late to cancel. The other 2 are unavailable from the same seller!!! Great, so we now have 2 tires. Progress... We ask that they cancel the remainder of the order and refund us for the 2 tires. The refund takes 3-5 days... Here we are, out $805, with 2 tires coming God knows when and we have to wait for the refund to get the other 2! All of this was combined with horrible customer service.

    I had ordered an album from one of my favorite artists on Amazon Canada. It was one of the rare items that I wanted to receive the day it was released. The day before the item was released, I got an email saying my order had been shipped. I was hoping to get it the next day since that's what it usually takes. But when I checked the tracking on the Amazon website, my order wasn't really shipped. It was only transferred to another Amazon warehouse. The carrier didn't have any info since it didn't have the package. But my credit card was already charged. It was only shipped 4 days later. I finally got it today, but I'm still mad at Amazon.

    That's just the latest problem I got. It started when they started to use a local carrier other than Canada Post. They would come at any time of the day, complain that our address wasn't visible enough and the tracking never worked. We tried to avoid them by shipping to the post office, but sometimes they would still use them. Also Amazon now sells so much stuff that they seem to have forgotten about some of the products they have always sold, like books and CDs. The products are often out of stock, not enough are ordered for those who pre-order and a lot are sold by "other sellers" who charge much more. And books are almost never on sale, except Kindle e-books. I now buy almost all of my books at Indigo. At least they put their books on sale and no crappy local carriers.

    Lately, I have waited and waited for my 2 day shipment to arrive. The "delivery contractors" give excuses that are lies - "had the wrong gate code," "neighbor would not accept," "business was closed," "left at doorstep." I am a business that is open 24/7 365 days a year. There is always someone here. Tracking says the item shipped a week ago, but then, after 2-1/2 hours of "chat" time, customer service admits that the item hasn't shipped. They are a call center trained to use words such as disappointment, frustration, and inconvenience. They also use your 1st name "to build that relationship". Sometimes they will re-send the product and the original arrives several weeks later. Sometimes it does not, making me question if the item was EVER sent.

    When you are checking out a purchase, Amazon has begun offering steep credits and discounts if you opt NOT to have 2 day shipping leading me to believe that they are well aware that they cannot fulfill the promise that they made when they charged you for your Prime membership. Prime Pantry is another separate membership. I believe that this is a form of theft by deception - taking your money when they know they cannot perform the fulfillment of their portion of your contract.

    After reviewing how many Billions (with a B) they take in from these memberships, Amazon doesn't have to sell a darn thing to make a substantial profit. I would like to see a consumer advocate group investigate their practices. I wouldn't be writing if it was a once-in-a-while occurrence, but this is becoming more and more frequent. Since seeing their requests for customers to forego the benefits of Prime membership, I also believe that Amazon is well aware that this is neither a temporary deficit nor anything they anticipate remedying soon.

It takes no less than a week just to ship most of my orders. Then I wait the normal shipping time beyond that, so usually two to three weeks to receive my order. In an effort to leave feedback on their website about it, they block the reviews when posted with the item, which I kind of understand. However, the link they provide to leave feedback about shipping takes you to their help system, which is no help at all. Their customer service folks stick to their script, and are rarely able to stray from it. Of course, most of them aren't native English speakers, though I am an English speaker. As of writing this, I will no longer do business with Amazon. I cancelled my Prime membership months ago over this issue, but hoped they would improve after a long discussion with customer service.

    On a Saturday afternoon, We had a random car with 2 random people come up to the door & hand me my Amazon order. It was not sealed or taped shut at all. Anyone could have looked inside the package, added or removed anything in it. Very sketchy & unprofessional!!

    I have been a Amazon customer ever since they very first started business. I have never had any kind of issues with anything. And off I just so happened to the issue was resolved right away. As of right now unfortunately I own a Kindle Fire and enjoy playing a lot of their games. When I first started playing them I never really had the thought of making any kind of in-app purchases. I would practice the game first before I even bothered to make the in-app purchase. I would always keep a prepaid debit card on file, never my actual bank card or credit card and thank God I didn't. Because you will get ripped off regardless how the transaction was made.

    The issue with my account is that to make things easier I'll either buy game coins or load funds into my gift card balance, because Amazon claims they have a no refund policy for in-app purchases. Now here's the thing. Roughly about four months ago I started noticing strange activity going on with my account. For example one time I had $1.47 available in my gift card balance and roughly about 139 in game app coins okay. So I go and log into my game and decided to make an in-app purchase. The order was taking a few minutes to process which means it's going to decline, because I wasn't even thinking with the amount of coins I had and my gift card balance wasn't enough to cover the transaction for $2.99. So I want for the app to change the special to $1.99 because I had plenty for that one.

    15 minutes later it shows up and I place the order which that one declined too. So I go and check my order history and my coins, and remaining balance to my prepaid debit card which declined so the whole transaction declined. But they took two forms of a payment from me so I contact them and tell them the transaction declined but funds were still removed. So of course they want to play stupid and try to argue with me by telling me that I wasn't charged when I had proof right in front of my face. So I waited a few hours then contacted them again and the rep basically said in-app purchases are nonrefundable and the amount that was removed from my gift card balance will automatically go back. Yeah sure it will. I've been waiting for over a week.

    So yesterday I decided to send a email to Amazon's customer service pretty much telling them that they think they're slick and can't fool me. I'm a little smarter than that and I want my money back asap. Now this gets even more ridiculous. A rep emails me back apologizing and said they were issued back to me and for the inconvenience she issued me $10 in promotional credit. So I thought to myself in, "Cool. I can get the $2.99 special I wanted." I go to purchase it and it declines. Now I am missed. I contact them again to see if it was even issued. She was nice and said it was issued and I have already used it. I said, "Excuse me. No, I haven't. I just barely got it not even 5 minutes ago." Once again no refunds by this time. I'm behind pissed. I had to wait until the next day for me to calm my nerves before I contacted them.

    So I contact them the next day and thought I hit Jackpot when I told the rep about the issues that I was having with my account. She see it for herself and said I was owed several refunds for declined transactions where funds shouldn't have been removed to begin with but told me she was transferring me over to tech support because the further you go back in months the harder it gets. So I was transferred and gave the rep the time he needed to read the chat. Comes back on, tells me to give him a few minutes he's going to look at my account.

    He had me waiting for a little bit over 20 minutes. Comes back on and says, "This has been going on for a while I see." I said, "Hello. That would be why I've been complaining about this for just about four months already and nothing is getting done." He then turns around and says he processed the refunds owed for Oct and Nov. He went back as far as March and I'm owed money. Now it's putting funds back into my gift card balance and coins back into my coin balance and I should see it within 24 hours. Well I was so busy the next day I ended up forgetting about it so once I realized it I called.

    The lady had a bad attitude, was taking her sweet time looking into the situation and was beyond unprofessional. Comes back on and says, "You were issued a lot of refunds and credits. What is the reason because this is unacceptable." I said, "Excuse me. They're for declined orders but yet funds were still removed from my account." She said, "That's not possible." I said, "Well it is now. Look into my account." She comes back on and says, "I see what you're talking about but like I mentioned before in-app purchases are nonrefundable." I said, "Hum I never got the item because it declined." She said, "It's the risk you take." No I don't think so. It's been well over a week and still no refunds unless they took those too. Because this is another way that Amazon will rob you when it comes to making a in-app purchase.

    Let's say you make a purchase for $1.99 but you only had a $1.00 available and wasn't thinking. You're going to get a automated system email from Amazon saying due to a problem with your payment they're not able to process the order. You can use a different payment method of they will try again but they don't tell you when. And this is the other way they were pretty much stealing from me because they would monitor my account and as soon as they notice a transaction was made they would run through at least two of the declined orders and of course I don't get the items. I call to report unauthorized transaction because it's obvious that it's a different card used and they refuse to issue a refund because they are the ones that did it and try to tell me it was someone in my household. Sure it was like as if you know who lives here.

    So if you don't want money stolen from you don't have any declined transactions because they never void them out. They leave them there so they can charge you and hope you wouldn't notice. It's ridiculous because they're up to something. Like I said I've been a customer for way too long and now all of a sudden for my digital transaction history I can only view the six most recent ones when it was able to view the whole month and about three months at a time. I want my money back asap.

    Amazon doesn’t take its customers seriously. This is supposed to be my wedding ring. Was supposed to arrive no later than November 9th, Amazon tracking said it would be here November 8th by 8pm. Then all of a sudden it was delayed until the 14th. 9 days after ordering the product, IT HASNT EVEN BEEN SHIPPED. I have no tracking information. Customer service was of no help because even they say it hasn’t been shipped. And instead of finding the item and rush shipping it like they should, I’m supposed to wait until November 14th to see if it even shows up. I’m supposed to get married in less than a month, and Amazon is ruining the whole process. I stopped using Amazon a long time ago because of this issue and after 5 years, nothing has changed.

    I've been an Amazon Prime member for several years. I've placed one or two orders per month for most of that time. My Prime items have always arrived in two days. I recently placed an order with nothing but Prime items. As in the past. I was expecting it in two days. When it didn't arrive, I checked the website only to find it hasn't even shipped yet. It showed that they don't expect delivery for another four to nine days. I went on chat to ask about my order. They explained that two day shipping means two days from whenever they get around to shipping it. When I questioned it, I was told that was always the policy. I explained I'd never had to wait more than two days for any of my previous orders, but they couldn't come up with an explanation. I canceled Prime. The main reason I was paying for it was the free two day shipping. Prime no longer has a value to me.

    I have been an Amazon customer pretty much as long as they existed and a Prime member for about a decade now. I am currently in the process of shutting down my account. Between the nightmares I've heard about how they treat their employees and their invasions of privacy, I was already starting to decrease purchases. Then I started to notice how many crappy 3rd sellers they had (quite a few from China that are important in products that are unsafe). Then it was very clear their reviews are mostly fake, and they do very little to regulate that. I had to use a third party website to scan reviews each time to get an honest idea if they were legit.

    The first nail in the coffin was Amazon's insistence to start sending me packages using their Logistics deliveries. Logistics is unprofessional (their drivers do not wear uniforms, can come at all times of the day - including the middle of the night - and are often late), and it's creepy. They take pictures of your doorstep without permission - and it's very difficult to opt out of. The final nail was recently learning of their warehouse collapse and the death of employees inside - right in my own state.

    I'm tired of Amazon's sleazy business practices. I used to use their subscribe and save for dry goods every month for years, but I shut that down as I have decided to seek out more ethical and professional businesses to rely upon. It's been 2 months and maybe I ordered 2 things from them. I will eventually completely shut off my account when I transfer my Kindle books to PDFs... Oh, that's another creepy they do - Amazon doesn't really sell e-books. They *rent* them. They will delete your Kindle books if you shut down your account. Luckily, there are ways to get around this, but we shouldn't have to. Shame on you, Amazon! You are no longer a legitimate business. The fact you exist in our country makes us all the closer to a 3rd world nation than a progressive country. Good riddance and kiss my butt!

    I ordered a product with Amazon Prime that I needed in two days because I run a business and I needed one of my machines fixed. I was at home. Nobody rang my doorbell or knocked on my door. I went outside because I had an email that my items were delivered, there were two boxes sitting on my doorstep instead of three. One of my items was missing but they said all were delivered. I called Amazon and spoke with Shantel who got me in touch with UPS who told me my items were delivered. I told them I didnt get all my items and they said they would investigate the situation but could not give me an update until Monday.

    To get my item fixed I had to put down a deposit and schedule a time for it to be fixed Saturday which is why I have Amazon Prime so I can make sure I get my items within 2 days. I then called Amazon back and at first Amy told me I could reorder the item and wait until Wednesday to get my item back. I explained to her why I needed it sooner. If I ordered an item Wednesday why should I have to wait for 7 days to get my item when I am paying monthly for Amazon Prime. She then suggested that they could credit me with a gift card and they will expedite the delivery. She told me I had to wait one to two hours for this to be done and then I needed to call back in, order the item with her and she would expedited.

    Instead of them crediting me with a gift card they credited my account and I have to wait 3 to 5 business days to get my money back. Then I called and spoke to Kate who also at first suggested that I wait until Wednesday. I told her this was unacceptable and I am was not happy with their decision. She then was able to expedite my package but I still have to wait until Monday. This is a big inconvenience for me. I am running a business and I'm not able to get things done in a timely manner that I need to so I will be canceling my Amazon Prime account. I will not order anything from them anymore and they need to fix how they are running their business and how their delivery drivers are dropping packages off as well as their customer service agents telling me numerous different things and not fulfilling their obligations.

    I've been a Prime customer without issue for years, but things have gotten progressively worse in the past few months. I placed an order on Tuesday, November 6th, and the FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING had the items arriving on Thursday, the 15th. I fully understand the 2 days only applies to when the item is shipped, this never used to be an issue either, but 7 business days is unacceptable for an item that is in stock. So I chatted with a customer service agent or 3, they seem to randomly disconnect when they can't respond to your question with something directly from their script. One told me it was a "rare occurrence" that an item could be out of stock to my zip code. When I mentioned it was 6 items and 6 "rare occurrences" in one order seemed a bit strange, they disconnected. The final one promised he'd update my shipping to the fastest speed.

    They sent the items via UPS Ground, which was 5 day shipping. I work in shipping and know how to read the tracking label. The first 6 digits are the sender's account number and the next 2 are the shipping speed. 03, my service code, means the order was shipped ground. When I told a customer service rep my order definitely wasn't shipped at the fastest speed, they tried blaming UPS for the failure to deliver the package as soon as possible. When I mentioned that whoever shipped it at Amazon sent it ground, I was, MIRACULOUSLY, disconnected again. The last agent I dealt with seemed to just be a robot. None of their responses made any sense with what I was asking and when I asked if they were human, they sent one final response that made no sense before ceasing to respond at all.

    Prime membership is up in less than a week and I wanted to know if these problems were going to be persistent or weather related, as one agent tried telling me, and I kept being told that my feedback would be sent to the appropriate department. I tried asking for a free month of Prime so I could see if this was truly a weather issue or not (I highly doubt it because an order placed to my brother, he lives 30 minutes from me, on the 10th would arrive the 13th, but for me it was the 14th - 21st) and I was told that they no longer can do that. With the promise of free Prime level shipping for everyone this holiday season, I can't imagine things will get better. It also makes me wonder why my cost of Prime has gone up over the years while it's being offered for discounted and free rates to others.

    So I ordered a men's coat for my brother. He's 6 foot 8. I ordered a 4X received medium. I emailed the original manufacturer and told them it was the wrong size, then I called customer service and let them know that I was having problems. They said I had to wait 2 to 3 business days for the company to respond legitimately and then they would help me file an A to Z claim. The representative I spoke to at the time said it is my fault for not reading the product description of the manufacturer.

    The manufacturer says order two sizes larger than what you need. So for a 2X product I should order a 4X like I had done. I explain to the representative that I had done that, even though Amazon should get after their manufacturers for mislabeling products. The original manufacturer replied. I asked for a prepaid postage label. They replied with an address label with the return address that I had to pay postage on. I called Amazon customer service back. Got a different woman. She sent an email to them saying that they needed to send me a return label not a postage label. They replied again. They said they already sent me a return label. When I asked for a postage label.

    I called Amazon again and let them know that I had received the same thing. They said because they had responded to me, that I now have to wait another 2 to 3 business days for them to correct the matter. I called again. They emailed and said they needed to send me a return label not a postage label. The original manufacturer wrote me back. Said they sent me a return label. Again needed a postage label. This is about the fourth time. I've spoken to somebody. I finally explained what was going on. I said you've allowed them too many opportunities. Every time they reply they reply with the same message. Could we just stop? I'm tired of dealing with this.

    So she help me file an A to Z claim this morning. The claim was denied. No explanation as to why it was denied. I called this morning. Ask the representative why the claim has been denied, what do I do to get a refund back and how the hell do I get rid of the product. She was very rude and basically sent me a copy of the email that I had already received which said my claim was denied. She said, "Follow the links and it'll tell you how to file your own claim. You have to file an appeal for the A to Z review." I went to the email, there was no link, but there was some of font hidden at the very bottom, that I was able to copy and paste into my browser bar from there I followed the instructions.

    It said; "Go to order, go to to the product you are having problems with scroll to the bottom, go to having problems with product and then go to refile appeal." I could not find the link. I called customer service back. I walked the representative through every step that I had done. She said that does not sound like the directions were correct. She was going to try to help me from there. She told me I have to pay to have the products shipped back then give them a copy of my receipt and they will refund a percentage of my return and/or the original value of the product. I was in the post office at the time that I was speaking to the representative.

    I gave her the number for the receipt at the time. She said I was only allowed to have store credit through Amazon instead of them refunding it to my bank account and I had originally explained that I did not have enough funds in my bank account to send the product back which is why I was requesting for the original shipper to pay for the cost of shipping because I was not the person at fault. I also tried to go into Amazon to review the product and let buyer beware of the product that was having problems with. Amazon has locked me out of being able review the product or any product on Amazon. Because they say I'm too biased against Amazon. Well I am now.

    So to reiterate what I was having problems with; I contacted the merchant, asked for a postage, did not receive that. I asked Amazon to contact the merchant. They did not do it properly. I was told by Amazon I have to pay to out of pocket to have the product sent back to the company and instead of crediting back to my bank account; I get store credit. I am out of the original cost of the inferior product plus cost of the product back. I almost bought an identical coat at Walmart. I put it back because I looked on Amazon and it was cheaper and I thought I could get a better deal on it.

    I have placed several orders in the past 2 years (upwards of $2k+) and nearly every order I placed had been delivered 2 days after I ordered. In this past week or 2, ALL orders I place and request 2 day shipping (which I PAY a subscription for) are showing 1 and a half weeks to 2 weeks expected delivery date. This is not how Prime has worked the past two years. Their customer service reps in offshore consolidated call centers are telling me that the items are not in a local warehouse and that they have not changed their shipping at all and 2 day shipping means that the item will arrive 2 days AFTER it ships (which apparently is how the extra week and a half come in-- allowing the time to ship it-- so I can receive it 2 days after it ships...). This is BAD business and I am hoping that more customers catch onto what Amazon is doing.

It would cost me $150 to return a $189 item. Why bother. Amazon did not stand behind me even when the item was the wrong part. Hardly fair! To make matters worse, the seller is still on Amazon.

    I am extremely disappointed with what Amazon has done to me. I bought a six pack of deodorants for 20.28 USD and instead I received only a single deodorant in a flat envelope. Can you believe it? More than $28 for a deodorant. The most expensive deodorant in the world. They cheated me!

    I ordered 4 books through Amazon Prime in the hopes I would have them in time for class. My package was set to be delivered on Friday but I wasn't home most of the day. I knew there was an option to leave delivery information but I assumed that if I wasn't home, my package would be taken to the leasing office. This is what usually happens with USPS or any other delivery service. When I made it home around 6pm that evening, I went online to check the status of my package. I was concerned when it showed my package was delivered by Amazon at 4:47pm. There was a photo of the package in front of my patio door which was alarming. I went back outside to make sure I didn't miss it but it wasn't there.

    The next morning I checked with the leasing office and they didn't have my package. One of the leasing agents said no one from Amazon brought anything yesterday and that she was there until 6pm. So either one of my neighbors stole my package or it was stolen by the person that delivered it. It's just completely unacceptable. All this person had to do was take it to the leasing office where it could have been locked up and accounted for. If for some reason they went to the leasing office and it was closed unexpectedly, why not take it back to the Amazon distribution center? Why leave someone's package when you know there are dishonest people? It makes no sense. I contacted Amazon support and they couldn't give me any information on the whereabouts of my package.

    I asked if they could contact the person that delivered it and she said they would have to complete an investigation and that only management has that information. She was the supervisor but couldn't tell me basic information! I immediately asked for a refund. I should have ordered directly from Barnes and Noble (which was my original plan) but I wanted to save a few bucks. I will never order from Amazon again.

    Ordered product on Amazon Prime with "One day shipping within the next several hours". Amazon quickly changed it to two-day shipping once I had made the purchase and paid. I needed the item for a client appointment and it cost me dearly. I would have bought it elsewhere had Amazon been honest. Customer service representative took no responsibility, was rude and blamed ME! Jeff Bozos' Amazon is making false delivery claims and manipulating consumers to buy based on those false claims. Remember that song by The Who? "Won't Get Fooled Again." Would rather have the truth from a seller, even if it takes longer to receive purchased goods. Reflects poorly on Whole Foods and anyone doing business with Jeff Bozos's Amazon. Pretty sad.

    I had mentioned how satisfied I was with Amazon’s customer service was over the years and tens of thousands of dollars I had spent and referred. This is the result of a $1.89 Sea Salt product that arrived punctured and I had video from the handoff from the delivery of it leaking to the counter and my call. Yet they still wanted me to pay for shipping. Send the product back. Amazon rejected the review and wanted it to be more favorable kinda like China or Russia?

    365 Everyday Value, Sea Salt Fine, 26.5 Ounce ★ from Mark ** on October 24, 2018. Every time I had a chance I would mention how amazing Amazon's customer service is from the shipping, email, text, phone support to handling dispute resolution etc. Almost too good to be true. Well, it is... I found a big flaw in their customer support "PRIME PANTRY." I received a damaged product (see photo) $1.69 container of Sea Salt. Contacted support expecting to have it replaced. Apparently the Prime Pantry rules are different; Customer pays for shipping of any damaged product to get a replacement. Sure I could just go away over a $1.69 item but now I am a bit concerned that this policy is how they handle/support customers and it has me back to reconsidering the local grocery store.
