    I HAVE BOOKED ONEPLUS 6 ON AMAZON ON 12th Of August. I got delivery on 16th of August and the mobile was defective piece with other IMEI no. From the bill so I requested to replace and two pickups got failed just because of IMEI no. does not match with the mobile. On 20th they finally picked up and still I am waiting for my mobile. It's 27th August today. Customer service is just giving excuses and the answer given by them is still the package is not reached in warehouse so 7-10 working days still it will take. This kind of cheapest delivery Amazon is providing never ever expected from Amazon online shopping this thing. It was the last bad experience with Amazon.

    1 week ago had same issue as tonight. Driver went to community leasing office and because office was closed at 7pm left with package and updated status to unable to deliver. Tonight driver called me and said he couldn't enter building so he can't bring package then hung up on me when I told him the only area in the entire complex that is locked is the office being that it was after 7pm. I told him all he had to do was look for my apt number on outside of building get out of car, come upstairs and find apt number on door. He did not, he left and update status that he could not enter building. This is an open complex.

    There are no gate, locks or codes anywhere except on our unit (apt) doors of course. Nowhere else. I have been a customer of Amazon for so long and have never experience this kind of inconvenience, and 2 weeks in a row with a driver that refuse to deliver packages to door and would leave with package because community leasing office is closed and it's easier for them to just leave packages there. I don't live in the leasing office, and I EXPECTED same day delivery with both orders. Then when I called customer service, there is no way for them to get in contact with their drivers.

    Even after explaining to rep what happened and there are no locks or codes to enter building, it's as simple as walking up the stairs and knocking on the door, they still sent me email stating driver couldn't get into buIlding and I must provide code or delivery instructions for successful delivery. THERE ARE NO CODES HERE, NO LOCKED DOORS EXCEPT ON INDIVIDUAL APARTMENTS. Outrageous. Goodbye Amazon.

    Delivery date guarantees are all fake! Most of the times they will scan the items as delivered even if it's not! Customer service speak poorly English and just doesn't care. Supervisors have a very accondescendant tone. Amazon is too big now and really doesn't care about customers if not only about the numbers.

    I have been buying in Amazon since the beginning. They changed everything. They are charging taxes now. Sometimes I had to return an item and you have to keep calling and chatting for the refund. Sometimes they show an improved item and they send you the old one. Sometimes, you can’t you cancel some items, don’t know why. Sometimes you receive your item and you can’t write a review about it (doesn’t let you). Sometimes you want to chat and the person doesn’t speak English (it takes minutes to answer). HORRIBLE.

    I’ve been a Prime member of a long time! These days with all the streaming services and the fact you can often go directly to a manufacturer, retailer or eBay and get a similar or better deal there’s almost no point in maintaining a membership. The biggest reason I have one is for free and fast shipping but if Amazon is the one delivering it’s nothing but headaches! I have emailed Jeff Bezos 4 times because of poor delivery service and abysmal customer service and I only emailed him after I was completely fed up from the multiple issues I already had! It was once an amazing company with integrity but those days are gone and I hear more and more people complaining about the same issues. Don't waste your money!

    It is mind boggling how a company like Amazon can have such a horrible delivery service. When delivered by AMAZON delivery I receive my packages about 10% of the time. If it's a Saturday, you have to call back on Monday and start the whole process of explaining that you didn't get your packages all over again. They have no way of contacting their drivers to ask them "Where did you leave the package?" I wish there was a way to choose delivery by FedEx/UPS/USPS instead of AMAZON. If your package is being delivered via AMAZON delivery don't expect to actually get it, or get it on time.

    I have been Amazon Prime member for many years (10+) and never had any issues with my packages disappearing until recently when Amazon decided to use their own shipping logistics. In the same weeks, I have two packages missing. They both were shipped by AMZL US. I had no issues with other Amazon packages that were shipped via UPS or USPS this week.

    I've been a faithful Amazon Prime member for a number of years and have always enjoyed my shopping experience with Amazon down to their accuracy in having my packages delivered exactly when they said they would. But, unfortunately, the Company has started using their own shipping logistics. It is horrible. They marked my item delivered and handed to a resident. I don't know what resident that would be. I've been home all day waiting, and no one ever came to my door. I live in a condo community where we all have our own individual doors. When I called customer service, they show the last ping of the package somewhere near my home but couldn't definitively say it was at my door.

    It's Friday evening and she tells me to wait till Tuesday morning to see if one of my neighbors brings the package to me. Seriously?! I wonder if AMZL US is also used for standard shipping? I will cancel PRIME and just use standard hoping USPS will be the chosen carrier. Or, may just switch to Walmart.com which is pretty identical to Amazon. I'm just extremely disappointed because I've never had any issues and Amazon has so many good features, but I just can't accept or spend my hard-earned money on sub-standard service. Wish they had kept AMZL US out of Michigan! :(

    Consider shopping on Walmart.com or eBay for better prices and quicker shipping. Amazon just took 4 days to ship an order. Order purchased Aug 20th. Shipped the 24th. Arrives the 30th. Pretty much every online business ships the same or next day. This is poor order fulfillment from the largest online retailer. On a prior order, the items purchased qualified for free shipping. However, the website was charging for shipping. All the items I was purchasing were fulfilled and shipped by Amazon. My order total was over the $35 limit for free shipping. I've order multiple times from Amazon and had no problem getting the free shipping, so I'd like to think I wasn't doing something wrong. In the end, I had to pay for shipping and contact customer service to have them refund the shipping.

When I contacted them, they told me that it will be delivered to me by the end of the day but they didn't do it. So, I contacted them again when they say that I should go and get it. I mean this is why I order online or what? When we complain anything to Amazon, then the best they do is extend your Prime membership by 1 month. But what about the trouble it has caused because of their ** delivery service?

    I have been an Amazon Prime member for many years. In the last year and a half approximately Amazon has been failing to meet their Prime Guarantee. When you check out your cart will show you one delivery date but when you get the email for your order the date will have been changed. You will be lucky if you receive the package on the date in your email. Amazon is fully aware of these companies that they are dealing with for the delivery of our products are not reputable but they still continue to use them and still continue to say “guaranteed delivery”!!!

    All the customer representatives have to say to us customers is "I am so sorry for this problem." I’m sorry doesn’t cut it when I could have ordered it cheaper from a non Prime seller but I needed it within 2 days or I just could’ve ran to my local Walmart and had it instantly. In my opinion Amazon has gotten way too big and all they care about his profits and not their customer. This will be my final year as a prime member. So before wasting your money for prime please think long and hard about wasting your hard-earned money!!!

    I've been an Amazon Prime member for some time now. Within the past 6 months most notably, they have completely failed to uphold their services stated in the membership details for two day shipping. More and more orders started coming late, sometimes a day, sometimes a few, sometimes a week or more, some were never delivered at all. I warn you now - DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A PRIME MEMBERSHIP WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THE TWO DAY SHIPPING THEY PROMISE. On their website, it only lists that there may be delays if an item is out of stock, or if you order a large quantity. The items I have problems with never are.

    When you bring this up to their customer service, they will say "The two day shipping is only relating to the time in transit" When you tell them you've always gotten it in two days up until this point, and nowhere on the website does it say they can take however long they like to process the order. They'll say "It says on the website that there could be potential delays for the item" when that doesn't apply.

    When you tell them that, they will say "well it needed to come from a different warehouse" - an excuse completely illogical, as it coming from a different warehouse doesn't suddenly mean they need to wait around on the order to ship it out. It should still take only two days in transit, right? When you say that, they'll say "well it can take up to 3 days to process an order." When you refute that line of lies, and point out nowhere on the website does it say that, they'll start the circular argument all over anew. After pointing this all out relentlessly to another of their "customer service" employees, they sent me this:

    "Please understand that even when the item is in stock there are times when the fulfillment center (the one near to your zip code from where the item was planned to ship) would not have it in stock. Because of which it needs to be supplied from a different fulfillment center which does take. There are multiple reasons why an item might be delayed, however, please note that two-day shipping doesn't mean that you place the order and it gets delivered in two days but it exactly takes two days to delivery after it ships out.

    I realize you're upset, and I regret we've been unable to address your concerns to your satisfaction. However, we'll not be able to offer any additional insight or action on these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response." And they expect me to keep paying for a membership, WHICH THEY JUST INCREASED THE PRICE OF? No, I will not. Once this membership is up, the Amazon card I opened is getting cut up and thrown in the trash, and they will not have my money for their fraudulent business again.

    I've been a prime member for years. Initially the free 2 day shipping was great. But in the past few years I've had fewer and fewer orders delivered by the "guaranteed" date. I have ordered items for trips that did not arrive in time, causing me the hassle and stress of having to make last minute trips to out of the way retail establishments to buy the same items for which I'd already paid Amazon. Then I had to deal with returning the items to Amazon to get my money back. Then there are the orders that don't show up, or for which the delivery date is changed without notice, apology or compensation. Inevitably when I call Amazon, I'm given a "so sorry" by a rep who doesn't seem to understand the concept of "guaranteed."

    Even worse, they frequently admit that Amazon is well aware that the companies and independent contractors they hire for deliveries are unreliable. If that's the case, then why do they continue to advertise "guaranteed" delivery date? Perhaps the most egregious is the inducement of next day delivery if one purchases a minimum of $35 in merchandise. When I've needed something quickly, I have bought unnecessary products just to meet the minimum so I can get my order the next day. But then the order doesn't arrive as promised, and when it finally does (IF it does), I'm stuck with stuff I don't need and something I needed sooner. Amazon refuses to acknowledge that it is using a bait and switch tactic, or that their failure to meet the guaranteed delivery date is a breach of contract with the consumer.

    One cannot make a promise meant to induce another to enter into a contract, and then break the promise and still demand the party who has not received the benefit of the bargain must still pay the full price for a product/service that was not delivered according to the terms of that contract. Amazon breaches contracts with its consumer all day every day. Why is nobody filing a class action? There are true damages here - both in cold hard cash (all those items arriving too late for the consumer's intended purpose, forcing them to go out and pay more for the same item even while the first charge for the item not received is on their card), and in lost time and distress. I am canceling my prime membership and have stopped shopping at Whole Foods. Amazon has surpassed Walmart in terms of terrible service and corporate greed.

    Once again, I'm giving Amazon a 5-star experience, this time due to its excellence in customer care, even on a Sunday afternoon. When I had an issue with a local UPS store while trying to print a return shipping label for an item I purchased from Amazon, I contacted the customer care department on the Amazon shopping website in order to have them mail the return shipping documentation to my home. The deadline to return my item was very near so I was in a bit of a panic to get a return label asap - my printer refused to print, the UPS computer and printer were not cooperating, and to get the proper documentation mailed to my home was my last hope... Until I chatted online with an Amazon.com customer care representative.

    The CSR I chatted online with was patient while I explained every detail of my frustrating dilemma. Not only did the CSR listen to every word I wrote in chat (I know this because he addressed each struggle), he reassured me and told me I could expect a UPS driver to come to my home the next business day to pick up my return package and that I would not have to print any return shipment documentation - it was going to be handled by Amazon and UPS, free of charge. As a former Customer Service Specialist for a large corporation in Los Angeles, I and my workgroup won awards for excellence in customer satisfaction. Based on that, my 5-star rating here should have some value.

    Shopping online has become not just a luxury for me, but a necessity due to my disability. I no longer have the ability to stroll through stores, browsing the shelves for what I need or to be inspired by what I see there. The Amazon Prime shopping app (both on my phone and on my laptop) has afforded me the opportunity to look at different products I need, check prices on different brands, and read reviews by customers who have purchased and used the products I'm interested in purchasing. It also delivers what I order in a very timely manner, and since I've become a Prime member, my deliveries are free, within a few days of placing and paying for my orders.

    Since the deliveries arrive via UPS, my phone is alerted with a text message telling me my packages have been delivered to my doorstep. Anytime, if ever, I need to return something, Amazon.com sends a return shipping label to my email which I can easily print, and drop my package off at the UPS store only a few blocks from my home. I can also choose to have a UPS driver pick up the return package from my home so I don't even have to leave the house. (Another option Amazon gives me is to mail a return shipping label to my house for just $1, in the event that I am unable to get my EPSON printer to function properly... See my other review!)

    I had a minor issue with getting a return shipping label printed at the local UPS store, so I contacted Amazon customer support and chatted with one of their CSRs online. My issue was resolved beyond my expectations. I've never been happier with online shopping, in all regards. Overall, I would highly recommend Amazon Prime to anyone - not just those who are homebound like myself.

Once I sent that, I was told she couldn’t help me; I have to wait for a response in 24 hours. I know CS can access my account so I asked why she couldn’t do that & give me an explanation, or credit me for the incorrect charge. She then scolded me & told me I should do as she told me to do! I objected & so she passed me off to someone else, who said he would help me, and eventually told me the same. Well, it’s been over 24 hours, still no explanation, or issued credit.

    Amazon purchases are increasingly arriving late after date promised. Even after paying extra to ensure it arrives on time.

Amazon claimed to deliver it by Friday with local express shipping whatever that means. I paid extra for the shipping method expecting to have my part on time.

What is more frustrating is that they managed to get my part from Canada East coast out to Seattle in 24 hours yet the part has been sitting in Seattle now for 21 hours. Seattle is only 2 hours drive from my address. The tracking information just says my package is late and gives a new date range for arrival. What is that?!!

    After reading At Night She Cries While He Rides His Steed The First Ever Romance Novel For Dudes I couldn’t wait for the sequel When Darkness Falls He Doesn’t Catch It. I preordered it in April from Amazon because they were supposed to deliver it the day it was released. The day after it was supposed to arrive I went to my account to see if it was delivered to my PO Box. It hadn’t even shipped. Amazon locked me out of my account when I tried to figure out why. When I finally got back in it said the book was out of stock and they didn’t know when or if it was going to be back in stock.

    I spent the next 2 hours on the phone with Amazon trying to figure out what happened. The first person I spoke to, Panjeen (I’m guessing at the spelling), the super American person, in America, inside a room with 30 people in the background speaking with Indian accents said everything was the author’s fault. When I asked why would the author hack my account to keep me from buying his book he tried, poorly I might add, to deflect. The guy never answered any of my questions so I hung up.

    The last person tried to say my billing information was the problem. I went through it with her. Everything was correct. I asked her if my card was the problem, why did Amazon let me order 11 other things with the same card after I ordered the book. For 20 minutes I kept asking that question. For 20 minutes she completely avoided it. She finally said she couldn’t answer that. I asked when the book would be available and she said probably in 3 months. The book I preordered wasn’t going to arrive until 3 months after the release date. I hung up on her.

    This was when I started reading reviews. Some people got the book with no problem. One person was told the book was too graphic and the book had been banned. Another person got an email saying they canceled his order. I tried to write a review. Amazon deleted it and kicked me out of my account again. I reached out to the author after reading the reviews and told him what happened. I got a message back saying Amazon had banned it for being too graphic. They have no problem selling the first book, but the sequel is too graphic. They also have no problem making volumes 1 and 2 of Mein Kampf available on Prime. Luckily Barnes & Noble still has it. I canceled my order and bought it from Barnes.

    It seems as though Amazon is jumping on the censoring people with different political views bandwagon along with Facebook, Twitter, and Apple. I always thought Alex Jones was a narcissistic douche who should be wearing a foil hat. Now that he has been censored along with a conservative who wrote a comedy book, I’m starting to believe it.

This is a rip off & Amazon did nothing to help me. The sellers offered me $3.00 for a $20 sundress. Why would I want to keep something I can't wear. All Amazon could say was that I need to look at the seller & make sure Amazon is shipping it. I feel if you don't stand behind the quality of what you are selling then they should not be on your site. I personally am going back to shopping at real stores where returns are free. There is a huge price for convenience & I'm not willing to be robbed by Amazon or the companies that sell through them.

    I always enjoy ordering from their site. They have a wide selection of items and their customer service is top notch. If for any reason you are not satisfied by what you get they have you go through a process and if the seller is not responding they make things right with you if it’s a refund or a credit.

    Ordered 6 CDs. Broke up into several different orders. The very first order was going to take the longest. All orders received except the first one. Was told by "Luv Satisfaction" that PO said it was delivered and to wait another 5 days. I got my mail that day out of the box in less than a minute after it was delivered. Saw him deliver and went and got my mail. Now after 9 days Amazon says they can only go by what the PO says. They are concerned about my negative review and will give me a refund if I take down the negative review. This is all over 12 bucks.

    I have over the last 4 months had two orders rejected by Synchrony Bank via Amazon Prime because they hold my payments made on the account for 2 weeks before credits. They charge late fees when there's been payments made due to the fact that they don't credit the account when I make the payment... It clears my personal account and they don't credit my card balance for over a week after! Amazon Prime card is the most ridiculous "credit account" ever to exist on the planet!!!

    I had been a long time Prime member until recently. I struggled for months with delivery drivers who couldn't speak English very well trying to explain the access code to my building after I had already noted the code on my orders. This resulted in many calls and frustration with Amazon. The final straw for me was the auto renewal of my membership. The charge was processed to a random (non-preferred) card. The charge was disputed and I opted to renew my membership with a separate account. Even though I had proof of charge, my membership was cancelled a second time because of the original dispute. Customer service was dismissive and didn't seem to care that I was charged with no resolution. I used to love Amazon Prime, but their service has changed so much. I will take my business elsewhere.

My only really major issue is their incompetent drivers who don't understand that a PO Box is at a UPS store - the UPS owner says he watches them drive right by. I've called Amazon Logistics 4 different times and explained this to them - each time they say they will put it in their system, so it shouldn't happen again, but without fail and every 2-months, I get a call from one of their drivers or someone in Washington telling me the driver is having trouble finding my address. Quite sad, especially when I pay so much for Prime.

They said it would be impossible. I would get a refund and then I would need to purchase it again. I don't get it. If they still have it in stock why not just send me another one?! Anyway, after a while the representative I was talking to said that she would be able to organize a redelivery.

    On the 8th Aug, I contacted them again to ask if I would be able to track it and the representative said that a redelivery wouldn't be possible and that he would need to organize a refund. I sent the transcript of my previous chat and he said that a redelivery wouldn't happen. That means the previous representative lied to me! I'm so disappointed!

    I posted a three star seller feedback (NOT product review) for Bertoni Eyewear. Afterwards, I noticed that not only mine, but all recent three star and less feedbacks were deleted. According to Bertoni Eyewear, Amazon is the one who deleted the ratings. The URL is **. I contacted Amazon at least 20 times on this issue, but Amazon refuses to let me know why they are manipulating the feedback for this particular seller. I did find out when Amazon does not want to respond to buyers, Amazon support sends the cases to seller support. Since most buyers do not have a seller's account, that means the cases get closed without any easy way for the buyer to respond. I have numerous emails showing this pattern of behavior by Amazon.

    The following is about Amazon's deletion of three stars or less feedback rating on **. To start with, I am a BUYER and NOT a SELLER! According to seller support, this is NOT their issue. Second, this is about the seller feedback page and NOT the product page! The state of California has set laws and ordinances imposing penalties on businesses that try to deceive consumers or other companies through unfair practices such as false claims regarding products or services.

    When Amazon manipulates seller feedback ratings, they are doing two things. 1. Deceptive advertisement that causes a loss of revenue for any competitor, 2. Trap unwitting consumers by advertising a product, property, or service in a false or deceptive manner. When Amazon manipulates the feedback ratings for Bertoni Eyewear, this gives Bertoni Eyewear an unfair advantage over competitors whose feedbacks were not manipulated. It also gives consumers a false understanding of issues with the services offered by Bertoni Eyewear, which is deceptive.

    I ordered 1" chlorinated tablets, 3' tablets, AAA & AA rechargeable batteries and a battery charger. The tablets say ships on Aug 3rd. As soon as I order it, it says 2-3 months. I thought maybe a typo. I get on chat. The guy says, "Oh that's when it's not in stock." I said, "Oh ok. Well how comes it shows in my email it will come in 2 weeks? I thought it was same day shipping, is it coming from another state or country?" He says, "No, that's not it. It's not in stock." "Ok that didn't make sense because he just said 2-3 months is when it's out of stock." Then he says, "I see it will ship out on the 3rd so you are ok." Again, he is not making sense. How can it ship when it's not in stock? I tell him, "If I knew it was out of stock, which it didn't say, I would have gone to Walmart." He says, "I can cancel it for you." I said, "No because I don't want to wait for the money to go back in my account since I already placed the order.."

    He said, "You won't be charged because it hasn't shipped". I said, "Ok". So he says, "Done". So then I decide, Walmart is quicker so I cancelled my 3' tablet order as well. I received an email that it was successful in me cancelling the 3" but never got a confirmation on the 1". I thought well that's probably because the rep. cancelled it. I placed my order with Walmart. Next day my bank account shows Both tablets were pending. What? I hop on my Amazon account to see under cancelled orders that the 1' tablet was indeed cancelled but it was still pending to come out of my account. I was frustrated. I only have enough in my bank to get what I ordered and gas money to get home tonight. I get on a Chat again and explain what happened. The guy tells me that nothing was ever cancelled. I asked, "Then why did I get an email and why is the other one showing up under cancelled?"

    He says, "I just cancelled everything now. You will see a refund in your account within 3-5 business days." I know, this is insane. Who asked him to cancel everything? Then I talked to another guy because this guy disconnected with me when I asked to speak with a supervisor. The next guy told me to take a screenshot of my overdraft fees when they come. I asked to speak with a supervisor. 3 people jump on and off the chat without saying anything. Finally Amanda comes on. She says, "Give me a minute to go over everything." I said, "Please read all the transcripts." Within seconds, she was typing. I was thinking, I know she couldn't have read all the transcripts that fast. Impossible. She basically was telling me that since they are pending, they will drop off and I should call my bank to get them dropped off immediately. I said I worked at that bank. I know that they can not do anything when in pending mode.

    I said, "Now I don't have money for gas because the balance isn't available because of the pending transaction and what about the items the guy cancelled without asking me?" She said, "You can reorder anytime and we are not responsible for keeping your account pending." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She didn't take any responsibility for what happened. She didn't acknowledge my questions. Every time I would send a lengthy detailed question about something that didn't make sense. I would hit send and instantly she was typing. She cannot be reading. She is now just typing repeated things. "Call your bank to see if they can help." She would let me talk to anyone else higher. Biggest attitude. So unprofessional. One rep responded after two days. They were going to take care of everything. Then someone else responded. They didn't even read what was going on.

    They wanted me to go to Amazon.com and click on the order I was having issues with. WHAT? Now every time I email them, I get a auto reply that someone will get back to me within 6 hours and of course they don't. Why bother coming up with that if they don't enforce that? Two days later, someone else responds and says, if you want to chat live go to Amazon.com help. Where do they find these people? Amazon let me down. They erased all evidence of the orders that were under cancelled. Can't find them anymore. The 1st guy said he was going to issue me Amazon credit of $5. Ha! That was a joke. Never did. They all lie. Amazon has changed. I am cancelling my Amazon Prime. Not worth it anymore. I'm done with Amazon. I am sharing this with as many people as I can.

    I have been a loyal customer of Amazon since 1999. Ordering tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise for myself and my company. Now I feel I have to speak out about charges in their practices that adversely affect people's shopping experience. First let's talk about Prime, as most people are aware when you order an item that is eligible for Prime delivery it will usually cost a few dollars more than the same item delivered by other means. Well UPS has come up with SUREPOST and now most guaranteed 2 day Prime deliveries are no longer arriving in 2 days, in fact when Amazon uses SUREPOST it almost always guarantees 3 days +.

    Why? Because deliveries are transferred to your local USPS for final delivery to your home adding a day or two to the delivery times. One tip is that if this happens to you, complain, customer service will add a free month to your Prime account or as has happened in my case several times they will give you the item free, crediting your CC account. This year so far I have 11 months of free Prime and around $80 in free items, but to be honest I would rather have my purchase deliver on time! My next issue is with ordering items that are temporarily out of stock. On May 4th 2018 I ordered a woodworking plane, it had by far the best online price and as I was in no rush for it I placed the order. Today over 3 month later and nothing, I sent in two inquiries to customer service and get back a form reply that have zero indication as to what's happening with my order.

    I should also note that the description of this item is for a polo shirt not a woodworking tool? On the page is a box that you can check to report inaccurate descriptions/information about the product. Over the 3 month period I have reported this 4 times and also sent 2 e-mails and still to this day the description remains incorrect. What's the point of having this facility if it's not acted upon? Anyway I could pay $100 more and purchase the item direct from the supplier or another online company, but then why does Amazon say Temporarily out of stock and then 3+ months later still have no idea when it will be available? Now I realize that Amazon has grown to one of, if not the largest companies in the world with many millions of products and customers. But my belief is that they are now just too big to provide the great customer service they were once known for, they have become a dinosaur. Big and slow to act.

    Amazon Prime's subscription price is a flat out ripoff. The few products that do qualify now have a markup that more than covers shipping so free shipping is an out and out LIE! Two day shipping only occurs about 40% of the time. Items are often Bojack knockoffs, no name trash, and counterfeited products. Amazon should be raided by the Fair Trade Commission, and have all their records seized. Some sort of legal action should be taken assessing very steep fines and awarding monetary damages to consumers who received counterfeit products and treble monetary damages to any companies whom's products have been misrepresented and or counterfeited.

    I bought a General Electric light fixture. The only place GE was mentioned was on the package. Even the lamp was a no name and simply said "Made in China" on it. I am almost certain the UL listing and the CSA listing are both counterfeit. ETL listing is a joke. CE is not quite as big a farce as Edison Testing Labs, but it is not too far behind in being lax and sleazy. The number of available products on Amazon Prime is shrinking, and the prices are equal to or higher than items in nearby RETAIL stores, with high prices.

    So if I drive down the street, I can have my merchandise for the same price in 20 minutes or I can pay $150 a year and get the same products or questionable fake knockoffs delivered in two days. That hardly seems like any kind of a deal. It's an out and out ripoff! Parts that do not fit were delivered, and Amazon allows me to "resell them". Resell them as WHAT? I don't even know what they fit!!! Amazon is the epitome of sleaze. For what I paid for Amazon Prime I can pay for 3 day shipping on an awful lot of parcels, from more reputable sellers. The first year was fantastic, but the second year, all the prices went up by an average of 24%, overall. THAT IS A SCAM!

    We are longtime Amazon shoppers but have started seeing troubling trends, including Amazon no longer meeting their delivery promise. Most troubling though, is the $144 charge from Amazon that appeared on our bank account. No orders appeared on our order list and we knew we hadn’t ordered anything. When we contacted Amazon to rectify, they told us it was for an Alexa Spot and that we had ordered it at 3:50 a.m. We conveyed multiple times that we did not order the item and curiously, it wasn’t showing up on our order list like other items we had ordered - I have a photo of our order page and no Amazon Spot shows up.

    We wanted help getting to the bottom of how this Amazon item was purchased on our account, but we were told again and again that we could just “return it when it arrived as it was too late to cancel the order” despite the fact that this was just hours after the fraudulent order was placed. I wonder how many others out there have received Amazon products (not products sold on Amazon, but actual Amazon-produced products), they didn’t order? If this happened to you, were you able to figure out what happened? Again, this item was never in our cart, does not show up on our order list, and was purchased at an hour of the day when we were not awake. It is being shipped to our home. Thanks for any insight.

    While I have often enjoyed shopping with Amazon, I feel I must discontinue doing business with them for the following reasons: 1. It is WAY too easy to order something by accident. I have accidentally clicked that "one-click" feature of theirs at least twice in the process of just trying to add something to a cart or wish list.

    2. They auto-renew Prime and Music Unlimited without your authorization. I have had this happen repeatedly despite requesting twice by phone that they not do that and despite having physically unchecked the auto-renew settings. The only surefire way to make sure that they don't do that is to remove your card after every purchase - my mother had that happen to her too, so she has the same tactic of purchase-->delete card), but if you're in the habit of purchasing music one song at a time via phone like I am, this gets really tedious.

    Just today, Music Unlimited was renewed without my knowledge, so I called to remove the charge. Nearly an hour after I hung up, I started systematically closing windows on my phone and saw the Amazon Music app open to the renewal page. Our grabby 18-month-old had gotten my phone and was tapping away and initiated a renewal. (See point #1. They really need to require password input for app purchases.) While now I am embarrassed at finding out about our son's accidental purchase, it still is way too easy for that to happen, seeing as how when I first got Unlimited, it was by accident after they decided to no longer include certain music with Prime (though up until that point, ALL music was included with Prime). In that case, I was paying for Music Unlimited for 4 months BESIDES the Prime membership before I even caught it.

    3. They really don't want you calling them. You have to jump through multiple hoops and lengths to find a link where you can talk to someone via phone... and even then, they call you. In my experience, I don't recall whether I've seen a phone number on their website like a normal site. 4. They no longer QC their sellers like they should. I ordered a pair of Samsung chargers for my phone only to find out after purchase that they were counterfeit. (No data transfer, logo and design abnormal; Chinese vendor; see below.) Specifically, if what you're attempting to purchase is not from a seller / name brand you recognize, you may be on shaky ground with that purchase.

    Just yesterday I had to contact an Amazon seller because I had purchased a video game for my husband for Christmas. The game was being sold with bonus content. Yesterday he was finally able to sit down and start playing the game. The bonus content codes were INVALID and upon further inspection, it looks like this disc is only licensed to be sold in ASIA. We ORDERED a North American disc (as evidenced by the seller's uploaded photos of the game case) with content, and we received an ASIAN disc with codes ONLY valid if you live in Asia.

    Upon contacting the seller (while implying they may have sold this under false pretenses), they assured us that "all other functions are still perfectly valid." They offered a credit of $3 for the bonus content. While the $3 does cover the cost of purchasing the content via PSN, the disc was inexpensive, so it's more of a huge inconvenience... besides making you feel somewhat dirty and manipulated. I'm not even sure they are LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SELL IT in the U.S.

    Now, I actually have had some really amazing seller experiences, and it's a shame that Amazon nearly makes itself the worst mediator of those goods. Also-also, especially with these Chinese vendors (I've had about 4 experiences in which I've had products not be as advertised or be straight-up counterfeit), there is a recurring pattern in which sellers will set up a new account to list and sell ONE SINGLE ITEM (before being "out of stock"), then turn around and sell another of it under another, yet similar, storefront. It would be like purchasing an outfit in the mall, going home, realizing that what was in your bag was a knockoff of what you just purchased, then going back on the next day to the store - which now has a slightly different name - and seeing the salesperson with Clark-Kent-style glasses pretending he's never seen you before in his life. It's really that bad.

    We ordered three dresses for our daughter at relatively cheap prices, and when they arrived (for the ones that did): bad stitching, low-quality fabric, not as pictured, never received it. And returning it would be insanely expensive since they actually came from China. So now, if I see any vendors on Amazon with any typos, or bad English, or Asian names, or names like "Happy Fun Fashion", I just avoid them like the plague. Overall, it seems like Amazon may quickly be becoming Wish in that regard, and you might want to reconsider business with them for that reason. The only reason I still tolerate Amazon is for their refund policy (which refunds shipping if you have to send something back) and their digital music downloads, which are considerably more easygoing of an experience than the garbage-fire that is iTunes.

    5. In order to save money, they have "sub-let" their delivery services to financially-strapped, unethical, non-Amazon-employee whoevers (most under the age of 30) who come up to your house in unmarked vans and leave strange packages at your door... that is, if they ever come. We had an order get lost in transit a few weeks ago, so Amazon just refunded the money back. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these "starving students" opened the package and decided to keep the item.

    6. Amazon has a recently-exposed history of funding anti-Christian groups - specifically of partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center - which openly persecutes Christians. That being said, Amazon also got in trouble for removing reviews from a prominent Christian reviewer for giving a glowing review of a recently published Christian book. Amazon has a system in place for supporting non-profits, but then removed the Alliance Defending Freedom from its recipient list due to the ADF's legal representation of persecuted Christians. As a Christian myself, it is practically an attack against me, my family, and the vast majority of Americans who still hold to the Bible, whether in spirit or in name only.

    All said, I have been shopping with other sites recently, and though I don't make a lot of purchases, I find that it's less drama and trouble to just walk into the stores for what you need. Then you have a physical place to return to and you can look someone in the eye when you make that purchase. Proceed with caution.

Here I clear that seller had sent my phone on time but due their poor system I could not got the same. I think we should learn a lesson from it and avoid Amazon until they do not change their way of working and understand the value & time of the customer.

    Amazon’s carriers failed to deliver my product and decided to return them after a whole week of me waiting instead of attempting to redeliver the product. Amazon Customer Service team does not care about Amazon’s customers. Amazon’s Customer Service team is not reading the messages I send them, so now I’m here. I put in an order for a product that was set to arrive on the 3rd week of July and ‘the carrier’ could not deliver it, so instead of trying again the next day or allowing me to give them instructions, they return my items! What bothers me is that ‘Amazon’s carrier’ claimed that the products got damaged in transit. I don’t believe that.

    I tell Amazon CS, and Amazon’s CS instructs me to reorder the products with one day shipping and give them the order number to have the shipping waived. More work for me??? So, it’s July 31st and I have yet to receive my products??? Amazon is better than this. I have tried to communicate with Amazon’s customer service multiple times, but I keep getting ignored. They respond, but it’s generic. If anyone read that conversation, they’d think??? “Did they even read what you sent?” I work customer service. People who are rude or completely ignore customer complaints hate their job.

    For a year, I have been trying to get my book published. I finally got it published but they took the paperback set up and used it for the Ebook which ruined it. So, I started all over again and had a professional format it. When I complained and I did so daily, no one did anything. Instead, they removed my orders, removed my wish list, and my account. All the books I was using for students to refer to AND which they buy from Amazon have disappeared. My order form is clean stating that I have made no purchases whatsoever in the last six months. This is not true I have a number of books here and the receipt slips and dates.

    Now they have removed the PRIME service; that is no longer available. In other words I have been removed as a customer from Amazon. Do they have the right to do that or should I see a lawyer and sue? I have done nothing to endanger their business, But I am considering sending this complaint to the BBB and also putting it up for the public as well as discussing the situation with a legal department. Additionally they owe me money for a book they could not provide, or did not feel like providing.

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

    I have been a customer of Amazon for years now. I do most of my shopping on Amazon and have spent thousands of dollars. Recently I noticed I was unable to leave reviews on items that I bought. The reason was that I "violated company guidelines". I have never violated guidelines and I love leaving honest reviews on everything I buy. I was also a "top contributor". I contacted customer service through chat on TWO separate occasions and I was assured that my issue would be taken care of and that I could write reviews again. Well, it was never fixed. I finally emailed Amazon to see if I had better luck that way.

    It took a week to hear back and I got the most insulting email ever. They told me I was receiving gift cards for my good reviews. I have NEVER once received a gift card for a good review. I have had several companies email me asking me to take off reviews in order to receive a free item or a gift card but I never did. I thought it was dishonest and not fair to leave a fake review. They told me this is permanent and they would not be responding to any more emails about this issue. They never gave me any example of where or what I did wrong. I immediately went and canceled my Prime membership and canceled my monthly subscriptions. I refuse to buy from a company that treats their customers so poorly. I'm done with Amazon for good!

    I've been with Amazon Prime at least 5 years, probably more like 7 or 8. Today I was on the Amazon.com site browsing when a little pop-up window solicits me... saying "download the amazon app and we will give you $10 off a $20 purchase"... I went ahead and clicked the link provided within the pop up ad. It downloaded the Amazon app and I resumed browsing. After putting $20 of items in my cart, went to check out, and lo and behold there was no $10 credit as advertised in the promotional pop up! I called customer service and after being on the phone for over a half hour and speaking to two different people I had no choice but to cancel my Prime Membership. WHY do I want to be with a company that doesn't stand by their own words!?!

    They solicited me with an offer so I'm not really sure what's going through their head right now... but apparently they need the $10 more than I do, bless their little heart! All I can say is if they don't want to honor their promotions maybe they shouldn't solicit people with little pop up windows... The funny thing is not only did I cancel my Prime membership (for which they will have to refund me 120...) but I will not be renewing it again in the future!!! So they lost 120 this year and 100s in future years... Overall this was more of a blessing in disguise. Now I'm free!!! I won't have to pay 120 a year for free shipping that I use only a handful of times each year. Otherwise the only other service I was using was Amazon video... and between you and me it leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing that Netflix or Hulu can't do just as well (or better).

    In January 2018, I tried Amazon Unlimited. The email from Amazon Kindle reminded that time that if I do not cancel after one month trial period, I would be charge 980 yen per month. But then as I didn't notice, I forgot about Kindle Unlimited. Amazon continuously charged me 980 yen to my Visa card each month without any notice/receipt to my email address. I saw the fee charged by Amazon in my Visa card account, but checking Amazon site, it showed that I had no orders within the past 6 months. I think that Amazon is not doing transparently. They should have noticed people when they extended the Kindle Unlimited and send them receipts for their payments (as Google do with their Google Drive storage subscription, for example).

    In May, I purchased an item for $125.00. At the time, I bought Amazon Prime as well for free two-day delivery. After paying, the item took a week to deliver. Amazon offered me a free month of Prime, or $5.00 in credit to "make up" for the inconvenience. I chose the free month. The next month, they charged me, again, for Prime. I demanded a refund and that the free month of Prime be applied to my account. They refunded me, didn't apply it. This month, wanting to buy a few things, I requested the month of Prime be applied. I had checked to see if they applied the $5.00 credit, and they had not. When I demanded it be applied, I was told I had to pay before they would apply the free month. They then told me the $5.00 had been applied, by the person I was then talking to. The late delivery by a week, the fraudulent "I'm sorry", and the requirement to pay before I would get a free month show a complete lack of caring on Amazon's part.

    My credit score has gone down around 50 points since my recent issues with Amazon and will no doubt go down more with the latest. Order of events: My debit card was somehow compromised after I signed up for a free Spotify account and someone bought themselves a paid Spotify account with my debit card. I shut the card down. I did NOT give my new card information to Amazon or anyone else. It literally never left my wallet. Somehow my new card was compromised again, Wells Fargo suggested it was through the "Visa Account Updater" and three people bought themselves Amazon Prime with my debit card.

    I contacted customer support to ask what was up. The rep said she couldn't help me but that someone would contact me via email. She also said she would credit my Amazon account with $5 even though I said it was unnecessary but she insisted. $5 never showed, not a big deal, but it was clearly a play to get me to rate her higher in the post help survey. I waited a week. I contacted Amazon back to ask what was up and this person was able to help me and tell me that yes, there were fraudulent charges. They proceeded to tell me that they would refund my money. I waited a week. I contacted them back to ask why my money was never refunded and they gave me a vague answer about how they didn't know why it was refunded but that they could not now refund it and I would have to contact my bank. At this point I'm irked but Wells Fargo supports me and gets me my money back.

    I get a notification that my credit score which was excellent is now only good. My Prime membership autorenew had been set to the original card that was cancelled and had since been deleted from my Amazon account. Instead of contacting me to ask me which card on file to use or to notify me that I needed to update which card was used for the autorenewal, they just charged one of my cards on file at random. I about lost my marbles. They charged my credit card and went over the credit limit.

    This has taken place over the past 5 months but I have been a Prime member for 5 years. Why does it have to be auto-renewal? Can't I make up my mind next year or at least be warned when it's going to happen? Can't they send me an email saying that I need to pick which card to charge? The only explanation for this silent, secret way of autorenewing is so that customers won't stop to consider if they really want to renew again. Disgraceful. I've been lied to and stolen from - not acceptable. They have wasted so much of my time and hurt my credit score in such a way that I don't know how to fix it. Even though it's slightly less convenient, I'm switching most of my purchases over to eBay and Walmart.com until they get themselves together. One more incident and I'm deleting my account. It's nice that things are cheaper there, but what does that matter if they ruin my credit?

College came along and I found helpful books for my classes. After about 6+ years of being a customer I found that I have enjoyed being a reviewer of your products! Other customers had started rating my reviews as helpful and it gave me personal pride to be an Amazon customer.

    Three weeks ago I found that I have been banned from making reviews because one review mentioned that I didn't receive the correct product however I was responded to immediately and was given a refund. I was trying to give a positive perspective to Amazon saying that the product was great but also the service was great and to trust ordering it even though I had an issue. Apparently the guidelines state you can't give credit to the seller. I was unaware of this until after the fact. Yes, I made a mistake in not double checking the guidelines. However, instead of being asked to revise my review. I have been completely banned from writing any reviews at all.

    It took two to three weeks to be contacted by a representative of the review team after sending them several emails and calls. The response was extremely rude and stated that I will not be given a second chance at writing any reviews all because I made one mistake and was not contacted to fix it. (Every email I personally received said my review had been posted. So I didn't think anything of it. When I get an email saying that it doesn't meet guidelines I try to revise it so it does so that I can further help people.) The letter accused me of being biased about my reviews (which were all positive or close to based on personal experience with the product.) Ending with that any further contact to them will not be responded to.

    I love Amazon but this experience has really hurt me as a customer. I take pride in helping others and I have only meant to be honest and helpful. I don't feel that it's fair to revoke someone of something that they have been doing for years, especially when those reviews have been found helpful by so many other customers in the past. All that I'm asking is to be reasoned with over one mistake instead of getting accused to being biased and banned over a single post.

    While checking my catalog listings for books I had published, I came across one which showed that it was part of an old series I had discontinued. I had already made sure that the ISBN and distribution listing through my printer were corrected. I emailed Amazon showing the error, but received a no-reply form reply telling me to contact my distributor about it. Since it takes less than 5 minutes to correct one of their listings I could not understand why I should be receiving such a letter when I had already informed them of the change once I saw the listing.

    After 3 rounds of frustration at this, I have filed a complaint with the BBB and I hope to receive some kind of explanation of Amazon's refusal to comply. In any case, the listing is misleading and may delay or prevent sales of the book. I would not publish any books on Amazon but my distributor's contract prevents me from pulling them off. Amazon has not sold any ebooks for me since December of last year, so I have unpublished them. It would appear that this is not the same Amazon as I came to know in 2006. They have lost all credibility and their bad customer service reflects their low estimation of their sellers, buyers, and Prime members. As an independent seller I would not use Amazon to sell from if I can help it. Amazon has proved to be untrustworthy.

    Updated on 07/31/2018: I received a call today from a customer service rep at 1-843-323-4400 at Amazon saying that I must go through my Author Central account to remove the series name, only there is no place to do that. You would think that after 3 tries at doing it myself I would have done so already. I added a sentence after the book's description indicating that it was not part of a series. I argued with the man for five minutes saying that there is no way I can change the series or remove it through Author Central. I had already contacted my distributor and looked at the metadata. There is no series designation for it.

    I also looked at Bowker and asked them to change the metadata there to reflect that I have discontinued the series, since they also did not remove it. After weeks of continuous effort to do what would have taken less than five minutes to fix the problem, I still do not have satisfaction. I have replied to BBB's commentary with a text of the call, and a photo of the book's cover. Amazon is still refusing to remove the series from the book title. Further, I checked Author Central again and there is still no way to change anything. I checked the Amazon product page and there is no way to change anything. As far as I am concerned, Amazon is a **.

    I think this company has put so many other companies out of business. They think they've got it made and no longer have to try. Nowadays, they try to frustrate customers to the point they give up asking for refunds when refunds are definitely due, and make the customer pay for THEIR mistakes. I've been a customer for around a decade, spending thousands every year. Twice now in the last year I've had something shown on the orders page as delivered that I have not received. I have a pretty good neighborhood but when delivery people leave boxes in plain view instead of ringing the bell and waiting for a signature, even when there are cars in the driveway, then they are just asking for things to get taken.

    Over the years, the few times that something was stolen or misdelivered and kept by a neighbor, Amazon simply credited my account, and told me to reorder the item. That's how it should be, because I, the customer, have done nothing wrong. Whether they take it up with the delivery service or not is up to them. But both times in the last year, they've begun to do it differently. Instead of crediting me, they are holding up hoops for ME to jump through. They are asking for police reports, putting the onus on me to see this through.

    First of all, we don't even know for sure an item was delivered or if the driver made a mistake (intentional or unintentional), so involving out police force is stupid and a waste of resources. They have more important things to do than to be forced to create paperwork over something we don't even KNOW happened. The first time this happened I did as they asked, and after filing the report online and linking them to it, they refunded my money. Really? That act did nothing but appease Amazon. It provides no new information whatsoever. They simply hope that if they begin doing that, a certain percentage of customers will say, screw it, and take the loss themselves. Nice way to treat long time loyal customers. I hope the new tax laws kill this company. They truly deserve it for their increasing arrogance.

    After dealing with pain from an old mattress that terribly needed replaced, I ordered a new one that was to be delivered and installed. I discovered that my very old bed frame would not support the new mattress, so I needed to find something to replace it quickly. As a long time Amazon customer and a Prime member, I decided to see if they had any options that could arrive quickly. I found the Novogratz Her Majesty Upholstered Linen Bed that claimed Prime shipping and 2-3 days to ship out (now it says 1-2). It seemed like a perfect deal and I thought the stress of finding something was over. Friday rolled around and the bed still had not shipped. I called Amazon's customer service to find out what was going on. At that point the mattress was supposed to be delivered the coming Monday.

    The customer service person was unhelpful and told me that the order could not be cancelled and that it was shipping (even though it did not even ship until the following Tuesday). I told him the bed didn't do me any good after Monday and asked what I was supposed to do. He told me I had to wait until it shipped and have it intercepted or I had to watch for the delivery person and reject the delivery. I then spent the weekend changing my plans and running around locally trying to find a bed frame that would accommodate the new mattress. I tried several times to cancel the order using the online tools but it would not cancel.

    Finally on Tuesday, the day after I had to install the locally purchased bed frame and after the mattress delivery, I received a shipping notification. I called Amazon again and was told that they were going to try to intercept the order from UPS. After that I wrote a review on the product explaining what had happened and that the item says prime shipping but is not so that people who needed something in a hurry would have warning. They rejected my review. I have submitted several more since and they have yet to allow one to post. They obviously do not want people to know that the item does not ship out when they claim it does. The item is STILL listed as prime even after all of this. The best part is that today the bed was left sitting out front of my house, six days after it was shipped (prime is supposed to be 2 day shipping) and it was never intercepted as they claimed they were trying to do. I am leaving it sit there.

    I am done with Amazon. Had they fixed the listing to reflect the fact that prime on the item wasn't true, and had they not tried to censor me warning people that it didn't ship prime, I would have continued to be a loyal Amazon customer. The dishonesty here was so bad and disrespectful, and people have the right to know that this is what their practices and customer service is now like.

    We have complained several times to Amazon customer service about the bad treatment of our packages. Today was the final straw: the package was later than expected so my husband was watching for it and he actually saw the delivery guy LOB our box over the front gate! He ran out there, caught up with the guy, and said, "Hey, we would appreciate your coming in the gate and putting the box on our doorstep in the future." The rude delivery person said, "No, we’re not allowed to do that;" and took off. Unbelievable!!

    I’m sorry to say that after years of being a faithful Prime subscriber, we are now looking for other places to buy our goods. (Prior times: Amazon delivery people leaned over the gate and put boxes ON our plants, right next to the sprinklers; others, they left packages out in the open next to the gate where anyone walking by could see them. Worse, on those deliveries, Amazon showed that the delivery persons wrote that they had HANDED the packages to a resident, which was totally untrue!

    We’ve had 2 very nice deliveries over the last couple of months - nice young ladies that rang the bell and came to the front door per our instructions to Amazon after we had experienced several months of very bad deliveries. We never have any trouble with UPS, USPS, and FedEx - it’s only the independents Amazon is hiring to replace quality experienced delivery people with a whole bunch of untrained and disinterested individuals. I really hope that Amazon’s competitors are “listening” - Amazon is opening up a huge opportunity for its competitors and we are certainly going to start trying these out.

On March 31, 2018 I ordered 4 tires shipped and sold by Amazon. Apparently they were not in stock though I was not told this until I contacted customer service several weeks later. When i called I was told my order was on hold because the tires are now available for a cheaper price. Great! I cancelled my previous order and placed a new order as I was instructed to do.

    On July 10th I finally received 1 tire. July 11th I received 2 tires. I have a tracking number for the 4th tire so I call FedEx who said they have a label but never received the package. After many calls to Amazon customer service and talking to supervisors was told there was a processing mistake and I will need to reorder my tire. But there is only one problem! Now the item says it can not be shipped to my address (I live in Alaska)! Customer service wants to ship to a different address: I don't have one.

    They want to give me a credit on my account. This is all great but I still only have 3 tires and this tire is not available here in Alaska and can't find anyone to ship one tire here. I have been dealing with this situation for almost 4 months now! I understand it is expensive to ship here but you shipped 3 already, why not the 4th. Amazon would rather pay the shipping here and return shipping back rather than ship me my 4th tire! I will spend more and buy locally from now on!

    After several more attempts to plead my case, Amazon has submitted a refund to me for the lost order.

    Original Review: July 11, 2018

    I tracked my order through Amazon closely, I usually do on more expensive orders and this one was just shy of $400. The Amazon website stated it was out for delivery on 7/2/18. Later that evening the website status changed to 7/3/18. Later that evening of 7/3/18 it changed status to "delivery may be delayed or lost". On 7/5/18 the carrier Amazon hired to deliver the product asked my child to sign off on a product they delivered on 7/3/18. No knowing any better she did. I called Amazon right away, figuring they were a large reputable company and would deal with their carrier accordingly. Amazon launched an investigation and concluded today (7/11/18) that the package was signed for and therefore is not eligible for a refund or replacement. They recommended I contact the local authorities.

    Amazon has always been rated high in customer service. Yet these days they are more worried about getting through calls and chats as quickly as possible versus making sure the problem is resolved. My most recent issue (but not my only one) was an order I placed for an item fulfilled by Amazon. The item was over $100 and broke on the second use. I contacted customer service and was issued a refund and at first was told I needed to return the item. It was a rather large item that would need a special box to ship and so I was then told to keep the broken item and they would just issue me a refund.

    Fast forward to a month later and I receive an email stating that they were still waiting for me to return the item and if I did not I would be recharged for it. I contact customer service again and they promised (more than once) that I would not be recharged and that they fixed the issue. Fast forward to today and my account was recharged for it. That I am pissed is an understatement. Here I am contacting them yet again, and they reissued me a refund, and again promised it would never happen again. The only way to ensure it never happens again is to close my account as soon as the refund clears and never use Amazon again. Bye.

    The first issue I want to address is the necessity of checking one star reviews for every item that you are thinking about buying. If the one star ratings are 3% or less, it is a good bet that you will be happy with the product. I have saved myself thousands of dollars over the years by checking the reviews first. Secondly, dump your Amazon Prime. Most packages will arrives in three or four days even if you pick free shipping. Amazon Prime does not speed up the delivery process enough to pay for Prime.

    Also, once you have gotten rid of Prime, your spending will go down drastically. Need to be on a budget? Start here. I was paying over $50.00 a month on movies that were not part of the Prime package. Lastly, the quality of the clothing available on Amazon is trash. Most of it is made in China for people who are much smaller than Americans. Seriously, do you really think you are going to get a great skirt for $6.00. Again, check the one star reviews. More than 4%, move on.

    Beware with Amazon! They allow listing products on big discounts and after the order is placed, the product is paid. Your order is cancelled. So you got no product and no money for a few days as they placed reservations for those quantities on your credit card. So for a few days, you will not dispose off your own money to buy something else and you will have to wait. The seller answer to that was that his shop got hacked. ;) How secure is Amazon and your credit card details if someone shop can be hacked, when Amazon is asking you security codes over security codes, on phone number and everything and how honest brand is Amazon if those shops are not hacked and they are simply just allowing that for bringing more traffic?

    Amazon is conducting illegal activity, whereby they are holding account access for ransom using their two step verification process. When signing up for an account with Amazon I was directed to provide phone numbers for the two step verification which was mandatory (the programming would not let you advance in the application process until you did so). Now since my account was started, the two step process stopped working and would not send me the verification code to access my account. After many attempts to reach customer service, time after time I was told the only way to access my account was to do a recovery form, provide more personal information via fax machine or electronic methods which stated could take days, and that was the only way.

    To be specific about one thing, my primary account phone number when asked for the code would never receive a anything. A window would not even appear and the message "internal error please try again later" would appear. That started a month ago and continues to this day. What I discovered since was that upon filling out the request forms they say were to verify my identity, for continued access to my account I had to purchase an additional verification application direct through Amazon, or else my access would no be guaranteed. Now to me this sounds like my account is being held ransom. In fact I was amazed at how many complaints and incidents there were online at Amazon, and every time Amazon was directing people to do the reset procedure where ultimately this $2.99 Amazon Super Verification app was required to completed the access recovery.

    This is FRAUD folks. Amazon won't help either. They won't help by fixing this "internal error", nor will they help provide an access code to log in with the normal two step verification procedure.

Tracking on item says it was delivered at 11:52 am on the second day. Item has not been delivered. In call with Amazon they say please look at this as an isolated incident. But it's not an isolated incident. This happens on a regular basis. They then say for the inconvenience they will extend my Prime membership for free for one month. Wow!!

    And that if the item has not been delivered by 9 pm on the third day then they will make sure that the order will be fulfilled again and shipped. But that would be on the fourth day and then delivered on the sixth day. So the free shipping offer with Prime membership really isn't worth anything and Amazon really needs to find a way to have control over these private delivery people who claim they deliver and scan the item as delivered but never delivered it. I can only assume that they are just taking the orders and stealing. In short Amazon delivery is absolutely terrible.

As a result I am not permitted to give anyone a review. Now, giving reviews are not terribly important to me, BUT being accused of something that is NOT TRUE, is important, VERY IMPORTANT. I was told in this letter that "the decision is final" and that no more information will be provided to me. What a Kangaroo Court this is! I have spent thousands of dollars with Amazon since 2010, or so, and to have this TRAVESTY happen is infuriating. I will spread this info to everyone that I can. My purchases thru an organization that would do this to someone, will cease as of this moment. Just be aware that this COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!

    My family and I have been using Amazon.com and their Prime membership for a few years now for purchasing about anything and everything, but unfortunately will now be taking our business elsewhere. I recently placed an order for pool chemicals expecting to receive them in 2 days (due to the membership fee we pay each month for Prime). Instead of my order, I received a notification that items were damaged. I called and was told that a refund had been processed so I ordered them again expecting the package to be delivered on Sunday.

    Again, instead of a package I received a notification that there was a delay and that it may arrive by Wednesday so I called again. This time I was assured the package would be delivered by mid day Monday, but again no package and another phone call. Now we are at a little over a week later and I have placed the same order for the 3rd time with a new "expected" delivery date of 2 more days - Wednesday. My advice, if it is an item you need or are expecting by a certain date don't order from Amazon and don't waste your money on a Prime membership that worthless anyway!!!

    I have been a LOYAL Amazon Prime customer for over 8 years. All in all my experience has been good until now. That is what is prompting this review. Being a Prime customer means free 2 day delivery on all Prime items. For example: I order a Prime item on Monday morning and I receive it two days later on Wednesday. The exception being that if you order late in the day it will put the delivery out an extra day. That was yesterday. Today, Monday @ 9:00 a.m. I wanted to place an order and was given a Thursday delivery date. I called and got what I expected. Someone reading from a script that the delivery is two days from the day of shipping. Whatever! If that's the case then I can order something Prime on a Tuesday morning and won't get it until Saturday because Amazon can't ship it out until Thursday for whatever reason.

    Usually it's the "warehouse location" reason. So, anyway I went straight to a supervisor to find out if I could get the straight scoop. I got the same lame excuse. He asked me to place one item in the cart and purchase it and that he would make an exception for the purchase. I'm getting slightly peeved at this point telling him that I don't want him to make an exception, I want my free Prime two day shipping. So, it's come to this. Amazon ups their annual fee to $129.00 and then takes two day shipping to three day shipping. Whatever!! I have touted and praised Amazon all this time. I have certainly talked many people into Prime, because it truly has been a 2 day delivery system. Well Amazon not that you care, but you've lost a Prime customer. I'm making this decision based on facts and the chances of things getting worse. The cost for a Prime membership going up and the emphasis on customer service going down.

    I have been an Amazon.com customer for over 5 years and a Prime member and I can tell you that I suffered endless trials and tribulations over items not being delivered, items not being delivered on time, items being delivered damaged but that's the least of it. They have a system where I was when you make a purchase they dock your credit card but they don't really take the money out of your account. They just say they are so your bank thinks they are and deducted from your balance so you can't use it but they don't actually take the money until the item is shipped and by that time you have maybe made other purchases thinking your balance was one thing but really it's another and then you're overdrafted and then if you go to cancel an order or return something then they just say, "Oh it's on your bank or your banking institution to give you the money back."

    And then your back Jose or 3 to 5 business days before they can return the money even though the money is never gone anywhere. Yet you have to go through all this and then bake if you return certain items they will prioritize which items they want to return on which method of payment so it kind of like when a bank will take your purchases and switch them around so that all of a sudden you've overdrafted yourself. And finally I can't tell you how many times I've called customer service at Amazon.com and from the customer service rep that I talk to get absolutely no satisfaction. And I'm told one thing and then I ask to speak to a supervisor at which point I get told something entirely different that totally contradicts with the first person says and then that doesn't happen even though he's got a confirmation email and blah blah blah.

    Then you have to call back. When you call back and go through the whole routine again over and over and over and what I found out is if they want to they can do anything they want to do with your account. On the spot they can return your money. They can avoid this. They could do any of that because I've had all those experiences happened to me at different times and use your bank card and then want to return it and have a gift card balance on your account and Amazon cuz they will deduct the gift card balance before they deduct a credit card balance and you'll be out money again.

    And then I will just finally say some will most if not all are not even in this country. They're somewhere else because none of them actually are able I feel like to understand what I'm saying to begin with. All they do is parrot back the policy that you can read on the website. You really don't need to have the customer service department to do that and they're very patronizing, condescending and continually rude. Some of the supervisors are very efficient and very nice but it's like the luck of the draw. You can never count on anything being the same way twice and that's a horrible way to do business.

    So here is the situation. Purchased a faulty phone. I was located international. Asked for international label. Return seller said no international label then Amazon said they will pay my international shipping. Checked shipping companies in my country Egypt. They all said that it's prohibited to send S7 phone abroad on shipping for battery is built in. Finally found some of my relative coming to USA sooner than me and sent phone with him to return. Asked for return label but stupid seller said no international label which is due to their stupidity reading old emails instead of reading I want USA return label.

    Contacted Amazon via chat on 27 asking for them to get me a return label to return the phone. The cs representative asked me not to contact the seller and Amazon issued me a refund in 5 to 7 working days... I told her, "I can give you the phone anytime. Let me know how." She said, "Donate it. No need to return." I found money isn't credited until yes ago so I was checking with another chat. They said, "No refund for you as no item returned." Now due to Amazon lie from cs representative I donated phone to the relative and can't get it back and wanting my money to purchase a new phone.

    I was an Amazon Prime member and several items on subscribe and save to be delivered on a monthly basis. This month my order was cancelled by Amazon due to the package being damaged. They emailed me to tell me and let me know they would be refunding me within 2 - 5 business days, when I inquired about whether the order would be reorder I was told I would need to reorder and pay full price and they would give me a credit on a future order for the difference between full price and the subscribe and save rate.

    I was not satisfied with this since I was/am still waiting for my refund and we had a contractual agreement for them to deliver products at a certain rate. They basically told me, "Too bad," so I asked to speak with a manager who also told me, "Too bad." I then emailed customer service twice and have never received a reply or acknowledgment of my email. They obviously are Amazon centric and have no desire to resolve issues in a professional manner. I will no longer use Amazon, I will use other retailers from now on who do focus on customer service.

    I live on a property with a circle driveway and large doubled front doors. There is a side drive that leads to the back, to the 3 car garage. Today a package was personally handed to me from a driver, while I was working in my yard. An hour later, I went to put my mower away, and discovered that another package had been hand walked up from some part of my neighborhood, the delivery person had decided it was okay to trespass into my open garage past all of its contents and leave the package on the floor near that entrance to the house. My guess is that I had caught the person, before they were going to enter the house. The package had been thrown off side of the back of the garage. I have reported this to the police, our neighborhood watch, and to Amazon. Their delivery services have become random (Sunday nights at 10 PM?)

    Amazon used to be great. You could get quality items in 2 days with Prime. I was a Prime member for years and recently canceled. Their price for prime increased while their customer service and living up to their Prime claims decreased. I cannot tell you how many orders I was supposed to receive in 2 days that I did not. Most issues were due to their new AMZL shipping; however on a couple of occasions the service agent actually had the nerve to tell me that even though some items are marked as "Prime 2 day shipping" it is really more because of a seller's handling time. Then WHY is it marked as Prime if you know their handling time won't allow for 2 day shipping? How is that even legal? What am I paying for? Is it the "possibility" of getting my item in 2 days? They are not living up to their promises but don't mind taking more of your money.

    I have also had horrible experiences on item quality & lack of packing items correctly also which ends up with a damaged item being received. The latest missed ship was yesterday. Of course it was shipped via AMZL. They tried to deliver at 6pm when we previously noted the address as business that closes at 5pm. When I spoke with Amazon customer service, they told me they would "refund my money for the inconvenience and I could keep the item" (their standard). Then they transferred me to the AMZL customer service who told me she couldn't refund or my item would be returned.

    She told me she would issue a $5.00 credit instead and the item would be marked to redeliver in the morning. She even took the open and close times again. Guess what? My package was noted to be returned to the seller and no five dollar credit. Completely idiotic. No one followed through which seems to be the norm. They have gotten way too big. Now they are just like any other big box store only you have no "manager" to speak with. No reason to stick around, but they should be have a class action brought against them.

    Since Amazon has switched to its own delivery company I have had more failures from them than any company their size should find acceptable. In just the last 2 months alone I have had 4 packages "lost or destroyed", 3 packages that were "delayed" for up to 5 additional days (mind you these were Prime packages so should have taken 2 days). I've had packages placed in my mailbox which is illegal, I've had packages balanced gently on the top of my mailbox at the end of my driveway. I've had packages in my yard.

    I've had packages that were claimed to have been delivered that never were and I've received packages that have been opened and the contents were no longer there. That is literally a 46% failure in deliveries for the last two months. I have no idea at this point why I should keep paying for Prime, or even using Amazon in general. I'm beginning to think it's more beneficial to shop and support local, even if it costs more. Get it together. Stop trying to save money with these terrible people you are hiring.
