    This is about the 6th time I have been buggered on delivery promises. I have Prime but I get anything but Prime service. When you get the message guaranteeing a certain delivery date, most of the time, you can ignore it, it is a lie. "Order within the next 3 hours and 16 minutes for a guaranteed delivery on Dec. 8" is pure BS. It is 12/9 and the new date is 12/11. So, my package is not only NOT Prime, it is just plain old regular delivery. Talking to customer service is a joke because you end up in India unless you force them to allow you to speak to a rep in the US (Yes you can ask to speak to someone in the US). They offer an extension of one month free on Prime ($9) but do not resolve the issue.

    I am to the point that the delay in shipping, the hassle with overseas customer service, the general inability to resolve issues and the false apologies and concern is going to force me to go back to shopping at local stores even if I pay more. Eliminating the hassle will be well worth the cost. I wish I could add a receipt to the review but since I don't have the product, there is no receipt to attach, just an invoice.

    I ordered sewing needles - a pack of 50. When the order arrived only 10 sewing needles were in the package. I spent about 2 hours with 3 different Amazon customer service reps. Finally I was refunded a portion of the order’s cost in the form of a promo credit. Today, during this same week, I received an order I placed with that promo credit. It was a toy for my dog and arrived broken and unsafe for her to play with. After spending 30 minutes with another Amazon customer service rep, I was told they could not replace the toy because it was purchased with the promo credit. Which of course I received as a partial refund for the first order they screwed up a few days ago.

    A few weeks ago I started selling a few books I had in storage on Amazon. This is the first time I had sold anything on their site but I have purchased a number of items for years. About a week later, I received an email requesting personal information, not for myself, but for my minor niece and nephew. Their names are in my Amazon address book. I explained that they are minors and I am not their parent and I don't have that information nor do I think it should be required. They requested their complete address, copy of passport and an email. Because I didn't send the information, they closed the seller's account. Since then I have made several purchases including sending gifts to my niece. Yesterday they put my account on hold and sent me the same email requesting the same information regarding my minor niece and nephew. I refuse to give them this information nor do I have it. I am not sure where to go from here.

    Amazon used to be such a great place to order from, but over the last 6 months I have had horrible experiences. They are inconsistent with delivery and customer service is a joke! The only thing a CSR is good for is apologizing on the company's behalf. It's only when you request to speak with a supervisor that you MIGHT get results. They're quick to take your funds from your account, but will do NOTHING to demonstrate they are truly apologetic and appreciative of you as a customer when they mess up. Hire some COMPETENT people or close!!! Just not interested in ordering from them as I once was. YOU SUCK AMAZON!

    Just spent an hour on the phone with Amazon...grrr. First item showed FedEx delivered. Nope. Mistake. Then I find the item I ordered was substituted for a different item that was not fulfilled by Amazon and will not contain the same items promised by the first vendor. I might get it by next week. On and on. Spoke with a manager who turned out be a lead agent by the name of Anthony. No last name as he refused to give...all but said I ordered from the other vendor when I did not. Sent a pic of who I ordered from. He said not good enough...and no consumer relations I can talk with. He is the highest it gets. Wow. This is what I get for not reading my order email. It was a bait and switch.

    Ordered 14 items. Amazon sent me an email showing the correct address. Then they broke my order into six parts and unknown to me shipped four items to the WRONG address. Amazon sent them to another address in my address book. Spent over two hours on phone and chat. They just sent emails to the sellers who said there was nothing they could do because the items were in transit. Amazon told me to contact the person at the wrong address and ask them to return the items and pay shipping to return them. The person is someone I am no longer on good terms with who doesn't wish to cooperate. The items were Xmas gifts. I will not buy from Amazon again if I can avoid it and I was a good customer. Their shipping system is broken. I will have to ask my credit card for chargebacks I guess. Amazon sucks, is no longer reliable at all...

    My son and I live next door to each other. Both of these incidents occurred November 2017. The other day, it looked like someone gave him a yard job. Turns out that the private service that Amazon uses for delivery decided to depart his driveway, drive up the sidewalk, stopped at the front door (in the yard), delivered the package on the doorstep, then made a giant circle through the yard to get back to the driveway to exit. It had just rained a bunch and he'd just planted grass. This delivery person sunk in the yard and left quite a mess. Apparently, the Amazon driver thought it was too far to stop in the driveway and walk the package to the door! A call to Amazon confirmed the problem. We sent them pictures and they said to repair it and send them the bill.

    Two weeks later, my wife was out front and noticed a strange unmarked mini-van pulling into my son's driveway. An older ** woman was behind the wheel. Apparently, she wasn't good at backing out of driveways. His driveway is about a 150 feet long and 18 feet wide. So instead of backing out of the driveway, she does an 18 point turn so she could pull straight out. (I'm thinking this is the same woman who pulled the yard job and Amazon kept her on...) She then drives over to our house and pulls up the driveway. Hmmm, must have been the wrong address? Anyway, our driveway is the same dimensions as my son's. This mini-van was loaded with kids and there was a young man in dreads that got out of the passenger door, never said anything to my wife, walked to the back of the van and opened the hatch.

    My wife was a little frightened at this point. Who was this? Why didn't they say anything? What was that man getting out of the back of the van? Was I in danger? He then retrieves the package, walks it to the door, doesn't say a word to my wife, turns around and heads back to the van. The old woman then proceeded to do another 18 point turn around in our driveway to exit. I'm not sure how much they saved by hiring this kind of crew, but it's apparent that they don't vet their drivers. None of the vehicles are marked. They may or may not set rules of who can be with them when they deliver, and there's apparently no decorum in their training program. They're frightening their clients, trashing property and God knows what else. The yard job will cost Amazon between $600 and $800 to repair after smoothing out the ruts and planting grass seed. Let Amazon know your frustration!

    Seriously people, get out of your house and buy things to bring home. It's way less hassle. You think buying things online is way more convenient but it's a huge headache when the package arrives damaged, item missing, or having to return the item... I understand buying things on websites like Amazon allows you to look at reviews and make informed decision but I had more than one encounter in which I discovered reviews of items are fake. Some items' first 2-3 page of reviews has all 5 stars. It looks awesome but wait until you see all these reviews were written in 2 days and they sound similar.

    There's one item I was looking at that 5-star reviews are about the product and 4 and 3-star reviews are about a complete different product. What in the world... like they merged reviews or something. Don't be deceived. Return is a pain on the ass. It takes several days to ship back then Amazon says it has up to 2 weeks after the receipt to issue you a refund. Look how much time is involved with this process; it's endless waiting. I now will go into an actual store, buy the stuff, and go home!

    On September 11th this year, an 18 wheeler Amazon Prime truck saw that there was a low clearance bridge ahead, and as a result turned into our neighborhood to avoid going through. When he turned on to the nearest street to then take another turn onto ours, he snapped the telephone pole in half which then ripped the power lines off of our house. I ran outside after hearing the noise to see the debris he left behind. The power lines were lying in our driveway and in the middle of the road. I watched car after car drive over them as I called the police in a panic. The police did a very good job determining that it was indeed an Amazon truck and formulated a detailed police report. The police found the driver's truck, but he was missing. We had to have electrical work done, lost all of our food from 24 hours of no power, and our neighbor had damage to his fence, car, and garage roof.

    We presented our report and complaint to Amazon. They had us put in a ticket. We were set back about $1000 from this accident. My husband called numerous times, and they would then in turn reply that they would call back. It took 2 and a half months for them to reimburse us for the damage their driver had done, after several stressful calls and follow ups on our end. Not to mention, it was a very tight couple of months financially as this was extremely unpredictable. My husband and I felt that Amazon was slow to move, and not apologetic by any means. This all happened while having a 13 month old baby and a second one on the way, leaving us with little food to feed her and myself.

    Even though they did eventually provide the money we lost, I feel it is important to share how Amazon portrayed a lack of empathy and unprofessionalism when coming to a more crucial issue than a product order. They are lucky nothing more serious happened with the power lines lying in our driveway and in the middle of the road. Amazon claimed that they use a third party company for their drivers and that they did not know who the driver was, which I find extremely unorganized and idiotic to not have the knowledge of who is representing their company and delivering their packages. Needless to say, while I was previously a Prime member and huge fan of Amazon, I now have a bad taste in my mouth for how they handled our situation.

    Many people pre-order books and movies on Amazon so they will get the item on the release date. Here is an official Amazon Page describing release dates. "About Release-Date Delivery. Release-Date Delivery is available for eligible pre-order items we can deliver on the release date to ZIP codes within the continental U.S. Some carriers make deliveries to residential addresses as late as 7 p.m. Select eligible items and choose Release-Date Delivery at checkout to receive pre-order items on the day of release. Shipping charges for Release-Date Delivery vary by item and are displayed on the order confirmation page. For Amazon Prime members, Release-Date Delivery is free when selecting Two-Day Shipping. Tracking information isn't always available from carriers online for Release-Date Delivery. To see if it's available for your order, go to Track Your Package."

    I PRE-ORDERED MANY ITEMS AND ALL THEM THIS YEAR WERE NOT DELIVERED ON THE RELEASE DATE. I got them from 1-3 weeks later. When I call up the reps when I don't get my item on the release date they all tell me "The release date is the day Amazon can ship the item". I highly recommend going elsewhere if you want your item on this release date! I will still buy from them but if I want my item the day it is released I go elsewhere.

    I purchased a product from Amazon (Car Mats). On the next day after the purchase I tried to cancel the order (since it wasn't shipped yet) and a cancellation was not available online, only a cancellation request was available which I requested. The next day I called the customer service of Amazon and they said to wait for the product to arrive and proceed to a normal return instead. I waited several days for the product to arrive and upon arriving I was not able to return because the product was delivered in two different packages and only ONE return label was provided by Amazon.com, so the UPS would not accept the packages.

    I called Amazon.com 6 times and I was not helped or provided the right amount of return labels to return the product. After several days calling their customer service reps I decided to call my credit card company and dispute the charges which I am doing now. I had an extreme poor experience with Amazon. Also I tried to do a product review and the review was declined as well which tells me that Amazon.com controls the reviews of their products as well. This is not the first time I had a hard time to return products to this company.

    Very disappointed as a stockholder and a avid user of Amazon that they have also become very political. The Alexa is a very liberal device. Not happy and would never own one and makes me wonder if I should continue to support a company that plays politics. The one question that made me throw my Alexa out was about Jesus Christ. According to Alexa he is a "fictional character." To someone who has seen Jesus' work this is ignorance at it's best and very disappointing. Not saying they need to have Alexa "believe" but a better way to handle it would be that of Siri where she gives a definition of Jesus Christ as seen by Christians. No need to be political.

    I placed this order from Amazon because I was about out of dog food and the page said delivery was guaranteed in two days ("Want it Tuesday, December 5? Order within 3 hrs 3 min and choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout"). Other sellers were offering it for less but it would take longer to ship, so I went with Amazon and two-day delivery.

    On the day the order was to arrive, I received a message stating it would be delayed. I called Amazon and was told that the "Want it Tuesday, December 5? Order within 3 hrs 3 min and choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout" message is basically a lie. There's no guarantee. The two days starts from the time the product is shipped, not when you order it, as the "Want it Tuesday, December 5? Order within 3 hrs 3 min and choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout" implies. The Amazon rep from India (she wasn't from the U.S., nor was the second person I spoke with. Amazon, you make a lot of money from the U.S. market, how about you hire U.S. citizens, or would that cut into your profit margin too much?) said the order wasn't shipped until Monday, 12/4 so technically wouldn't be late until after 12/6. The product page guaranteed delivery on 12/5. Guess they have a different definition of 'guarantee'.

    If I'd known the "Want it Tuesday, December 5? Order within 3 hrs 3 min and choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout" message was a misleading lie, I would have gone to a pet store or ordered from another seller selling it cheaper. Since my dog needs to eat, and this order will not arrive in time, I've cancelled it and am going to the pet store anyway.

    I've been an Amazon customer for a very long time. I've been a Prime member and place quite a few orders with Amazon every year. That will be changing. I will not be renewing my Prime membership and will be looking at alternative companies to do business with. Any other order and I wouldn't care so much if it was late, but my dog is nearly out of food and I was counting on the shipment arriving on the day Amazon guaranteed it would. Amazon is no different than any other corporation that jerks customers around and makes false promises. I'm sick of corporate America and the games they play.

    WAS! An avid shopper but no more. Amazon has a legal scam. All they have to do is overcharge you and says, "Oops we made an error." I purchase a few items in October 18 2017 and they double dip my account. On receiving my order one item I did not like. I sent it back the next day. I received a confirmation they got the item back in perfect shape. After many many hours on the phone and being told over and over it will take 10 days to got my money back. It is now December 5 2017 and I have not gotten my money back! Do the math. Overcharge a 100 customers a day for a $100 = a lot of interest in the old bank account. Again I say Buyer Beware!

    Been on the phone with Amazon about a incorrectly packaged and damaged goods. They refuse to work with me to replace the items, insisting I send them back #10 cans of food which are damaged and can no longer survive long term food storage needs. After almost 5 hours on the phone with them, I gave up and wrote investor relations a e-mail stating that I'd be buying one share of their stock which entitles me to attend the share-holders' meetings. According to parliamentary procedure a shareholder is not only entitled to attend share-holders' meetings, but is also entitled to bring up new business. So I shall.

    I will bring up new business and detail/delineate their exceedingly poor customer service. This action with the hopes that equities analysts and portfolio managers who are thinking about buying the stock will see what a big risk it is to purchase this stock and not do so. My intention is to create a stir in the public relations area for which there will be no escape for them. This way, Amazon suffers with their bottom line, which is indeed all they really care about - not the consumer.

    I hope that anyone who reads this will indeed follow my example and join me at future stockholders' meetings to ensure Amazon suffers the loss of profitability which they hold up as a shining example. Only to show them, they are not a "customer-centric" company that they claim to be.

    I ordered a lot of items for our baby registry on Amazon, they arrived in 3 separate packages. One of the packages was supposed to be delivered on 11/25/2017, it never was delivered, even though Amazon sent me an email saying it was delivered. I called Amazon on 12/2/2017 asking about the lost package. The representative Rayon ** said will reorder 3 of seven items that were supposed to be delivered, and refund 4 other items. However, when I tried to order the same items again, I noticed I ordered the original 7 items in the lost package on 15% completion discount on the registry, there now was a price difference of $6.12 and also based on Amazon policy, if an item was not delivered as promised, the customer was supposed to get a month free Prime Membership. I was never offered the free Prime membership for a month.

    So I called Amazon again, the representative was very slow and not helpful and she promised to send me an email for refund for $6.12 and a month of free membership for Prime, she never did. When I tried to purchase the items on the same day 5 hours later, one of the items Diaper Bag 12 pocket price jumped from $25.99 to $37.99, making the difference in price $19.17. This representative Quincy ** processed a refund of $20 and sent me a confirmation email, however when I went to purchase on Amazon for the 4 items, there was no refund at all on my account!! So I had to call Amazon customer service the 3rd time in one day, the representative then said, “We can do investigation with the carrier to find out what happened to package,” I was like, “Amazon's own policy is if not received items 36 hours past delivery date, a full refund should be ordered,” I was surprised this rep did not know her own company's policy.

    She has no idea if the last representative Quincy ** refunded the $20 into the credit card I used to purchase the items originally or refunded into gift card, I tell her there is absolutely nothing in my Amazon account, $0 refund. This representative Jennemi, then after 33 minutes of "investigation" said she can only give me a refund of $42, which is not even the amount I originally paid with 15% discount. What a joke this customer service is. Meanwhile, I think this is very unprofessional of Amazon customer service, while you are talking to the rep, there are a lot of people laughing and talking in the background, this is not professional at all.

    I don't care how big a company is, standards for training and professionalism should be maintained, o/w you will lose customers. Amazon is definitely going downhill, one of their outsourced deliverers even tried to peek into our house, good thing we had surveillance cameras at our front door, so we let Amazon know to hire professional deliverers.

    When Amazon became the EA of online shopping... Let us get this straight. EA has pretty much been voted the worse company in America several times over. Ranks right up there with Bank of America. AMZL is going to be the point we look back and realize Amazon deserves to be on that list now. AMZL has horrible training for deliveries. It is basically UBER for package drop off (but no accountability because no ranking system, no tip interest, nothing but box checking). You get a smartphone app and throw boxes in the back of your car then drive around.

    They do not care if you are at home. They do not care what happens to that package. All that care about is checking a box saying done so they can get paid. I have come home to a box thrown in my apartment parking lot. I have come home to it sitting in front of the wrong door. I have had people around me drop off the box to me saying it was delivered to them. I even saw the guy throwing one of the boxes in the dumpster at the complex. Likely because it was on floor 3 and he didnt feel like walking it.

    Now these things I could overlook if I had an option. What is that option? To refuse to have them deliver my packages. But does Amazon allow this? No. If I could tell them I want FedEx or UPS or even, yes, USPS then I would continue to shop here. But they refuse to allow that. Because they know this is a shotty delivery service and thus it is cheaper on their end. I WOULD PAY MORE for better shipping. YES I WOULD PAY MORE IF IT WAS AN OPTION! But they don't let that happen. They want to force this AMZL down your throat.

    Just remember everyone. I loved Amazon. I have spend thousands of dollars there last year alone. But it is over. Package delivery times have gone terrible. Lost packages increased. Almost every package requires a claim/reship/refund to get into my hands. No. It's over for Amazon until they ditch this absolutely horrible shipping company from their lists or at least give me an option to BLACKLIST them as an option. The Walmart service is far worse. The options aren't as high. The prices aren't as competitive. But at least I can have professional delivery drivers drop it off at my house and can follow instructions. That can make their times. That care that the package is delivered and not some fly by night damn near criminal deliver service known as AMZL.

    I am so done with this overblown company. Prime is a joke as I love shopping Amazon but their delivery people just leave packages where instructed to not leave packages and always wind up not getting item when needed. With these said... I am NEVER buying on Amazon again because this was my reason for years of not wanting to buy there when everyone said, "Oh it’s great. Buy there." My biggest con was delivery and lost items and all the BS. No thanks. I’ll go back to eBay as I never had a problem there. And brick and mortar. Hate giving my money to a company and wait and wait and excuse for not getting due to driver neglect.

    Can’t afford to go through having to wait for refunds and reorder and wait more. Why would anyone do that when you can buy and take with you. Done! Change and maybe I'll come back. So upset cause I loved ordering here but of course it always blows up in my face. Too many mistakes in last 2 months. 4 deliveries screwed up. Thanks Amazon for ruining someone’s plans with Item they was supposed to be here on time. Also says delivered but package not here. They drop off anywhere obviously.

    I’ve been a Prime member for years and have never had an issue with delivery until recently when Amazon started implementing their own delivery service. The driver kept delivering my packages to my neighbor’s house so I contacted Amazon and commented in the nicest way I could. Ever since my complaint, if it could be called that, my packages that ship via Amazon delivery are suddenly “lost” every time or will show as “out for delivery” but never arrives. The Amazon app has a new feature that shows where their delivery driver is so I’ve actually seen that the driver is within minutes of my house yet still my package never arrived that day. My latest debacle, and the last order I’ll make with Amazon, is that my order was 2 days late yet showed it had been out for delivery both days.

    I contacted Amazon via email about my order status. I never heard back yet suddenly my order was shown as “delayed due to customer request”, meaning I must’ve asked them to hold the package to deliver at a later date which I had not. When I inquired yet again what was going on and asked for delivery of my package, it was further delayed and somehow didn’t make it onto the truck for delivery the following morning. After 5 days of this, my order now showed that it had been sent to the wrong facility even though it had been at the correct facility and out on a truck on multiple days for delivery. My last complaint ended up with them actually cancelling my order without any kind of any inquiry or communication from customer service!! Unbelievable!

    Throughout this, I never once had customer service respond or follow up or anything, which is so far removed from any previous experience I’ve had with Amazon. I can’t help but think that delivery inquiries are forwarded to and dealt with by the local Amazon delivery depot as I’ve always received prompt and pleasant responses back from Amazon for any other issues I’ve had in the past (prior to Amazon delivery service). My local delivery depot must be full of unprofessional people who easily get offended by a customer simply asking to deliver their package to the right house. I’m floored by this last incident; Amazon just canceled my package without ever trying to contact me. My family members and I spend a lot of money with Amazon but apparently my local delivery folks have been offended by what should have never been anything offensive. My business has already been taken elsewhere. What a shame.

    I'm afraid that Amazon have just lost another customer through their complete lack of customer service. I am really shocked by their couldn't care less attitude. I'm in retail and I know that there is a real need for goodwill with clients. They need to remember there are lots of online retailers out there. My story is simple, they delivered my food to my work address, which inexplicably had become my default address. I amended it to my home address before making the purchase. It still went to my work address. 45 miles from home. I work in Central London, not a place to take a car. So how the hell do I get my shopping home. They couldn't give a damn. When you call customer services, they leave you on hold for 10-15 minutes each time you ask them to do something and still come back and tell you, "not our problem!" Prime membership, what a waste!

    So, I ordered a new Camera on Cyber Monday from Amazon. I Was super excited, I had done tons of research, and chose to wait until Cyber Monday to make my order. I'm a Prime member so when I had the option to choose my shipping method I didn't choose next day shipping because I saw that my package would be delivered with plenty of time for the wedding I am supposed to shoot video for. Almost immediately the delivery dates changed, the first time it changed was scary, the info I had said it wouldn't arrive until the following Monday, after the wedding, but that was updated to Friday. Scary but acceptable. Fast Forward to 6:30am this morning when I received a notification that my package had been delayed. What! Well I immediately contacted customer service and started inquiry into what was the holdup.

    Over the next hour, I was transferred between 3-4 different customer service reps. By the end of that session I had been told that my package would be taken care of and that I had nothing to worry about. Fast forward to about 10:30am when I receive another notification that my package would not be delivered until Monday! Monday?!?! Again? Well that prompted my second session with customer service. Only had to deal with one rep this time. He told me that all the reps I spoke to during the previous session, would have disciplinary reprimands filed against them, then proceeded to assure me that he would he would stay in contact with the carrier to ensure that I receive my package on time. Fast forward to 3:00pm and I don't see any updates to the previous status of rescheduled for Monday delivery, so I start the third session with customer service (which I'm in the middle of as I write this).

    I speak to the rep and tell her I will wait for confirmation this time and not take her word that it would be resolved. Well that wasn't what she was hoping for. She put me on hold, checked back with me multiple times then at one point suggested that I try to buy the camera locally and they could refund me for my Amazon order. Seriously? So all my research and diligent work, and patience was for what?

    Well at that point I told her that that wasn't about to happen and that I was more than willing to wait on hold with her until the situation was resolved to my satisfaction, OMG you could hear it in her voice, how disappointed she was that I wasn't buying the runaround anymore. After that I didn't hear anything maybe 15 min until she could pass me along to the UPS rep (on hold currently). So My complaint isn't really about the delivery, but about the absolute lack of professionalism and outright lies from Amazon customer service. I will still continue to patronize Amazon, but only for very basic items, never for anything of major value, and I will never ever order anything from Amazon that I need in an expeditious manner.

    I paid for Amazon Prime to order a package I needed ASAP under the two day shipping option. It is now two days late with no explanation. I called customer service to ask to cancel and refund the package at this point, as I had paid extra for it to be delivered on time, and at this point I would have been better off going to pick up the package at a store as it is now very late. Their response was that they couldn't cancel the package, and that they won't issue a refund unless I wait for it to arrive and then refuse the package. I asked what happens if the package doesn't arrive at all, and they said I would have to wait until Tuesday (at this point, almost a week late now) to consider it lost to get a refund. When I asked if there was anything that I could have done now, as I had paid for the two shipping option and was unsatisfied with the service, she simply hung up and cut me off. Not impressed, will not be dealing with Amazon again in the future.

    I have 4 children, 2 from my first marriage, and their father and I try to be equally involved in their lives, including holidays, so when they want something in particular for Christmas we will often each buy one, so that they are from both of us. Well this year they, along with my older son from my current marriage, want a Nerf Dude Perfect Bow and Arrow. I found them on sale on amazon.com and my ex-husband gave me the money for the one he was purchasing and I proceeded to try to buy 3. There turned out to be a quantity limit, so I bought my 2 and he bought the one for our older son on his Amazon account. The next day Amazon cancelled his order, because he has it shipped to my home (because that is where our son lives).

    First we tried to just buy another, not completely concerned with getting it on sale, but now they were selling for $200-$1200 each, when originally they were $60. I called Amazon and explained the situation, that we are divorced and my ex-husband was buying it as a gift for our son and having it shipped here, but they refuse to honor the order. We explained if they had called before cancelling or even cancelled the order that day, so we could have changed the shipping address we wouldn't be in this predicament, but now we are left with 2 bows for 3 little boys who want them desperately for Christmas.

    In my previous post I described my frustration dealing with Amazon while purchasing a Kindle Fire HD 10" for $99 and as a result of an Amazon billing error my order was canceled and I would have to pay $149 for the same item if I wanted it. Well after a few days I tried again only this time I was a very calm 72 year old who just wanted to know what happened. Within 20 minutes the service representative told me to purchase the item at $149 and once the payment goes through, she will process a refund of $50 within 3-5 business days. Problem solved and The good guy won.

    Original Review: Dec. 1, 2017

    I am not a fan of Amazon, not anymore. Long story short. During Black Friday sales I purchased a Kindle HD 10" for $99 and I selected the 5 month payment plan. I received an acknowledgement email from Amazon confirming the terms and price of the sale. Instead of billing my bank account for the first installment payment, Amazon billed me and charged my bank for the total amount of the sale. I didn't plan for that so I didn't have the money in the bank account. In order for me to avoid an NSF charge my bank rejected the charge. The sale was by then over and I would have to pay $149 instead of $99 all because of the Amazon error. I spoke with at least 4 individuals and I had to explain my problem each time. In fact, I was hung up on 2 times. Do you think that I got screwed by Amazon?

Well I ordered something and the listed said it would arrive November 30th. When I choose the free shipping option because I spent enough money to do so, it changes to November 30th to December 5. I contact customer service and ask why they say one thing on their listing then change it pretty much after you make the order. They said they apologize and will expedite it at no cost. Well it is now November 30th, a week after I ordered and only one of the items says it’s in route to carrier which it has been for 2 days now. So they just straight up lied to me and now at this point they say they have done all they can. These are items they stock. Not outside vendors. How does it take a week and you still can’t ship it?

    I agree that they do it on purpose to force you to buy Prime. But I canceled that membership because it was the same garbage then. Not on time. This is supposed to be convenient. I bought my iPhone off eBay and have had it for 4 days. Waiting on a case for it bought from Amazon 15 minutes after my phone order and my case still hasn’t shipped yet even though customer service told me they would expedite it at no cost and I would receive an email shortly before the day was over. Two days ago that was. Amazon jacks terrible customer service and you have gotten too big to care. If people start boycotting them and hurt their pockets then maybe they will get the message.

    I've been a Prime customer since they came out with the idea. I've been happy with them for years, but over the past two years, their quality has been dropping precipitously, in particular their customer service. They used to do what was necessary to make things right when they screwed up (nobody is perfect, but a good company doesn't leave its customers high and dry) but now, they "can't do anything" for anything at all, and do not respect their customers time and money. The final straw was this year's Black Friday sales. I saw a blender for a good deal. Clicked it, saw the main page for what looked like a brand new product. Current model, "Amazon's #1 selling model" thousands of good reviews. I click buy it now from the item's main page.

    It arrived a day late, in a ruined box, missing pieces, missing packaging materials, and severely damaged. I get on chat with Amazon and am told "you bought a used item". It took almost an HOUR for this rep to figure out that there was no way for me to know I had bought a used item. NOWHERE on the front page was it indicated. I'm not some doddering old person, it was NOT mentioned that I was buying a used product, let alone one that was completely destroyed.

    After an hour, he just gave up and told me that "Amazon policy won't allow me to do anything whatsoever to help apart from return the item" which does nothing to help the wasted time and money. I get frustrated when he tells me I also have to drive to a UPS store 25 minutes away and say, "This ** sucks." At which point he accuses me of threatening him and hangs up the chat. I must stress that I was brusk but at NO point did I even remotely insult or threaten him. I was simply frustrated.

    So, if you're a happy Amazon customer, the best I can say is that you should NEVER buy anything that is on "sale" from Amazon, particularly a busy holiday sale like Black Friday. They are going to screw over quite a few people in quite a few ways, and they simply can afford to not give a crap about you anymore when they do. So take your money elsewhere. Wal-Mart offers free shipping and curates its inventory, Newegg actually still lets its reps do everything that's needed to make things right when mistakes are made, Support companies that care about their customers. Amazon simply doesn't anymore because they're "too big to fail".

This was compensation for this being the FOURTH time in two months an order wasn't delivered on time, and the EIGHTH time since the beginning of 2017 that an order wasn't delivered on time.

    When I checked the tracking, the order was canceled and being returned to Amazon. Third customer rep refused to abide by the other two reps' promises - even though I provided her with copies of the Amazon chat transcripts. All she offered me was a $5 off promotional coupon and free shipping - which I already got as a Prime Member - for something that was promised to me for free.

When I first emailed them, I got a boilerplate answer that had no relation to what I had asked. A response went unanswered. I used "chat" the next day and worked my way through to "customer assistants" who apparently did not read what I first wrote until I had restated it 5 times. When they finally grasped the problem they could not view the pages I could see. They confirmed that the retail "Amazon price by Amazon" was $6.98 and the giveaway was $19.61 and promised to escalate the correction. Two days later having received no message nor seen a change, I now called. Again, I got the "policy" speech and asked to speak to a supervisor.

    Without my permission they both chose to call me by my given name, despite my objections, the supervisor in fact pointedly refusing to use a title I have earned and used for almost 50 yrs despite my continued objections. This time they said that the cheaper price was somehow NOT an Amazon price but a third party price, despite the statements by the prior "assistant."

It was canceled again, and I was charged again, and the reason was same, the seller left the Amazon platform. Is it a joke. When I knocked their customer service, they were not helpful at all and very rude. I am going to file a complaint against them.

    On November 24, I found out Amazon was offering their new Kindle (Fire) 10 tablet at $99.99. Immediately I tried to buy it, but received the message that this item would not ship outside USA. It was strange, because I was using a USA address. In the past I had made other purchases to this same address with no problem at all. I kept trying several times. No success. On Friday night, I contacted them on chat. Joice was very kind, and checked my account, verified the USA address, asked me to try again, but I kept receiving the same message.

    She transferred to a guy that seemed to be from Asia, and not familiar with the English Language. Despite he read the transcript of the chat, he kept saying Amazon was not shipping the item outside USA. I repeated him I was using a USA address, but he insisted, so I knew it was a dead end. I tried Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and the same kept happening. Today, the price have changed to $149.99 and, guess what? No more limitations on the shipping address!!! With curiosity, I went to eBay, and found this same tablet at even $169.99. Do I feel hate right now?

    I recently purchased two Amazon Fire 8 tablets at 129.99 each. They were on sale shortly after for 89.99. I am a rabid Amazon Prime customer and purchase weekly. I had to argue for twenty minutes and go through two supervisors to receive a credit for the purchase. To me, this is POOR customer service. In the future, I will avoid Amazon Prime at all cost. They obviously care little about customer service. It was a very upsetting experience.

    I had very bad experience with ordering items from Amazon. I have been loyal customer to Amazon. I happen to order few items during Black Friday, however didn't realise that Amazon selected my old shipping address by default. I called up Amazon and they said they don't have way to change the address. Asked me to contact UPS, UPS said, they cannot change it, only sender can change. I spent few hours discussing with multiple Amazon agents with no solution. They are offering things like refund, but I need the product. They asked me to reorder it but for different price. Not sure I am penalised for Amazon's inability to change the shipping address. It is perplexing to see company like Amazon doesn't process to change shipping address if the product is in Transit.

    Worst experience with online purchases I have ever had!! Had two accounts, one for me and one for my wife with separate email addresses. Something corrupted my account - called Amazon Sunday and they said they had fixed it. Monday morning it was corrupted again. Called them again and decided to cancel the account in my name and use the account in my wife's name.

    By mid-morning, this account was also corrupted. Called them again, they suggested that I let them refund the Amazon Prime membership and start an entire new account and pay again for the Prime membership. Did all that, they processed the $109 fee for the Prime Membership but 10 minutes later, they cancelled a small $14 order as they said they could not process the credit card. I waited 10 minutes and replaced the $14 order, and again Amazon cancelled the order as they said they could not process the credit card. Called the credit card company, they said they had received the Prime order and processed for the $109 but did not receive any order from Amazon after that.

    Called Amazon again and after two times being hung up on, I finally got a customer service rep who said let's try the order one more time - same thing, they could not process the credit card. The rep said, "Hummm, don't understand this one except we are very busy today!!!" Isn't that what they want? I ended up cancelling all of the Amazon memberships, demanding a refund on the Prime account and ordered the small $14 item direct from the manufacturer. I WILL NEVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM AMAZON AGAIN NOR SPENT 5 SECONDS ON THEIR WEBSITE!!!

Since Amazon switched to their own delivery carrier, Amazon Logistics, I have had delayed shipment, missing shipments and mis-delivered shipments. I have requested to have my shipping preferences de-prioritized, so that AMZ will be the last carrier and USPS my 1st choice carrier. I have attempted to do this now for over a week.

(Mind you I only had like 22.00 on the specific card I chose to use) I go to purchase it and a page pops up telling me that I can save the shipping cost if I join Amazon Prime. I notice a button that says "Let's Get Started" so I click on it and then maybe 30 seconds later I receive a notification that my card was charged 10.99!!! So, I immediately went looking to see how I could cancel Amazon Prime and get my money back.

    The Item I was trying to purchase cost 14.99 plus 5.48 shipping, needless to say since they snatched that money away I could no longer purchase the item!! There was no "please confirm that you allow us to take 10.99 for your first month’s fee" or anything. So now I have to wait 3 to 5 business days for my money to be returned to my card!!

    Worst Customer Service. Very Irresponsible. Doesn't care about clients, service or reputation. After one of their vendors sent us an old, dusty, used, non-working equipment that didn't match the pictured advertised equipment. (Sent us a model with all Chinese text, not the Dell power supply in the picture.) 11 DAYS LATER VENDOR STILL HASN'T REPLACED THE EQUIPMENT, REFUNDED OUR MONEY OR PROVIDED A RETURN SLIP TO RETURN ITEM. I purchased a new power supply for my Dell tower. Received it on the 15th of November. The wires inside the equipment and cooling fan were covered in dust from age and use, and the unit had scratches on it (not from transportation damage because shipping package was just fine). Called in to Amazon immediately after receiving package on November 15th to request assistance in getting this fixed. The seller was responsible for getting this issue resolved.

    I asked the seller to please overnight a NEW replacement or at least send it 2-day. Nothing, UPBRIGHT said they couldn't. Amazon even had to open an A to Z claim against the seller to force them to resolve this. Still Nothing! Amazon asked for a refund on my behalf 11 days ago. Seller emailed saying we would have to pay out of pocket for return shipping, pay insurance and tracking. Amazon instructed seller to issue us a pre-paid return label with tracking within 2 days. UPBRIGHT sent emailed us 5 days later sending us a "postage required" label, no insurance, no pre-paid postage, no tracking -- for their own equipment! UPBRIGHT even told us to "try the equipment with confidence". I even tried the equipment and it does not work. WHAT A JOKE!

    11 days later and seller still has proved no solution, no refund, no exchange, no return label. Nothing! I've purchased from Amazon and its third party sellers since 2007 and have never had an issue. Even Amazon can't get them to comply. It's embarrassing. I can't believe Amazon allows third-party sellers like UPBRIGHT to do business on their site and serve Amazon customers with such horrible 0-star service. After all Amazon has taken vendors side and left me with a damaged part that I will have to trash. I will never buy from Amazon again.

    After receiving numerous phishing emails and following the instructions, given by Amazon through one source or another, to forward the emails to the stop-spoofing@amazon.com and/or cs-reply@amazon.com, they expect that I should not concern myself with the security of my Prime Amazon account. Once I finally chatted with a CSR, their resolution is to place those emails in a Junk folder or call my internet provider about the problem.

    However, how would such a 'hacker' be aware of my account with Amazon? Although, they suggested that I change my email address or block the emails, that won't resolve the problem or protect my information. Neither does it determine how this ** or whoever found out about any account with Amazon or how to secure my information on Amazon. So, basically, the response was, 'Sorry for the inconvenience.' Is this another way of saying "Amazon doesn’t value their customers—Prime or otherwise?" Well, it doesn't look like it's worth the risk of my continuing to order online from them.

After 24+ hours I noticed that the expected delivery was changed to a date after the "event" I needed the items for.

    I have been a Amazon Prime customer for over 7+ years and their service has been steadily declining. I order 2 day shipping, they promote Amazon locker, I get a tracking number, what my pet peeve is my items are averaging 80% late most of the time. It's ridiculous. I have called Amazon, spoken to their management teams, and made endless complaints, I get nothing but apologies and they offer to extend my membership another month as a gesture. But if they can't deliver my packages on time, then what is the point of extending my Prime membership by a month? What value is that to me?

    I guess Amazon is turning into the kind of company once they built this amazing brand, their delivery, customer service and lack of follow up I have noticed is getting worse with every order. I have gotten customer service manager who promised to call me back on orders that are lost or late. Nothing. No follow up. I get emails asking for survey and asking would I like a follow up to my feedback, and nothing gets done. I can count now over 10 times this year alone in 2017 packages I ordered either for 1 day or 2 day delivery have been late or flat out missing.

    I think it's a great opportunity now for other competition to strike while Amazon is growing weak and their level of quality is declining. Their delivery used to be topnotch. I urge their team to re-think their delivery agreements with third-party delivery companies. If the third-party partners can't deliver for Amazon as a delivery partner, then Amazon should cut them loose.

    But all I hear from customer service is, "Oh we can't control what the delivery people are doing." Then work with companies where you can hold your delivery partners accountable, Amazon, seriously. Now I get emails like this at least 80% of my Prime 2 day packages. Now expected November 25 - November 28, "We're sorry your package is late. We're working to get your package back on track. Please come back Wednesday if you still don't have it and we'll help you out." Was expected today (November 24th) by 9PM.

    This is a waste of money. Amazon claims Prime indicated products be received in two days. Numerous times my shipment has been delayed w/out an indication of when delivery will be. (Delivery by 8 pm today, then, "We're sorry, you should get it in next few days, if you don't get it in another 5 days, contact us"), you wait all day for a delivery because they will just set it on your doorstep w/out even ringing doorbell, and then they don't show up. So do you wait around for next five days? Wrong sizes have been delivered. Philips Hue bulbs shattered, acrylic knife holder cracked, liquid products leaking, etc. Products are not packed appropriately. This is supposed to be a benefit and offer convenience. Hassling with returns repeatedly and not knowing when you will receive shipments should not be happening. Might as well go without Prime. I ordered something from Walmart. Arrived on time, and it was packed thoroughly.

    Long time Amazon fan, long time Prime member. Purchased a watch @ $110 a week ago, today it's @ $75. Typically, if a price drops or goes on sale, I probably don't know about it, or I don't care when price fluctuates a few dollars. But, $35 worth asking for refund of difference even after reading about Amazon no longer doing so. Not surprisingly, chat was unsuccessful and was told to return the item and repurchase. Now, that would be same at brick store but also not really that convenient. Amazon is in large part about convenience (for me at least). So... returning and repurchasing *not* convenient. Furthermore, there are many reported instances of people being banned (?) from Amazon for returning too many orders. So, this is bad all around, right? Less convenient option for effective refund AND risk being banned from future purchases??? Crazy. It's almost like they don't want me to have my $35. ;)

    It's not that they don't have a right to refuse, or to tell me to return and repurchase... but, come on... It's all online transactions, wouldn't it be easier and better for the customer to simply verify the order and refund the difference? Really disappointed in lack of customer. The behemoth starting to act like they know customers' options are limited and taking advantage. I know I'm paying for that "free shipping". It's all about convenience.

    I ordered a Dell laptop from Amazon on November 14, 2017. When the laptop was delivered, it was not the laptop I ordered so I returned it for a refund. Amazon did issue a refund but rather than issue it in the form of a credit to my Amazon credit card, which I used to order the laptop, they issued the refund in the form of a gift card without informing me they'd done so. The email I received simply said a refund had been generated and was available in my account. I didn't realize what had happened until I placed another order and belatedly noticed that a gift card had been debited. My thought was, "what gift card?" so I investigated. Only then did I see what had happened. I then contacted Amazon customer service to ask that the balance of the gift card be applied to my outstanding credit card balance.

    I've purchased another laptop from Dell, not trusting that Amazon can/will send the one I actually want, and I don't need an Amazon gift card worth several hundred dollars while the original charge sits on the credit card balance, accruing interest fees. During my chat session with customer service, I was shuffled around to ten different people, all of whom flatly said, "No, we can't do that." When I asked to be pointed to the policy supporting that statement, they refused to either send it to me or tell me where I could locate it on the website. This leads me to believe there is no formal policy. They all also refused to provide me with the name and title of someone I could actually speak with on the phone.

    I have been an Amazon customer since 1998 and I also have a business account with Amazon. Both will be canceled by the end of next week. I am done. Amazon may provide convenience but their customer service is so subpar as to be virtually nonexistent. I would advise everyone to use extreme caution when requesting a refund from Amazon. Their practice seems designed to force you into doing more business with them by issuing a gift card rather than a true refund, while earning more money for themselves (or Chase Bank) by refusing to credit your account, ensuring that additional interest will accrue.

I called Amazon, they said that because they didn't have the item in stock, they would have to get it from another warehouse and then it would start shipping. I repeat, this was the day the device was supposed to arrive! Needless to say I was very angry and disappointed, but they said they would take care of it. 3 Days later the device still hadn't been shipped! This was a gift that was supposed to arrive at a specific date for my girlfriend's birthday! I called them again, they apologized again, said that they would look into it, and start shipping as soon as possible. I couldn't believe it, they'd completely forgotten. This is HORRIBLE customer service.

    Long story short, the device was delivered (thank God I'd ordered it a good amount of time before her birthday, knowing that something could go wrong, but I didn't think it really would). The birthday gift was an instant camera. My girlfriend received it. She was ecstatic! She didn't know what had happened because I didn't tell her of course, I just wanted her to be happy. So anyway, today she tells me she's ordered film for the instant camera from Amazon. She wants to take the first photo on her birthday (today). She says the film is supposed to arrive at 8 pm. It's 9:45 pm now. She writes to me, tells me it hasn't arrived yet. I tell her to call customer service. She does.

    It appears that Amazon holds orders to "entice" customers to buy Prime. Interestingly enough, the actual shipping time is the same - two days - when you don't pay for expedited service/Prime. It appears that Amazon sits on your order to within 2 days of the 10 days they estimated for arrival of the order, before shipping the order. Being in distribution for over 25-years, I am sure there is no sound reason for Amazon to not ship immediately (in fact, it likely costs Amazon more to hold the order) other than Amazon trying to coerce you into buying Prime. Appears Amazon ships with the same service regardless of the order is Prime or not (otherwise, how else do they get the order to you still on time when it hasn't been shipped before two days when the order is due to arrive). The only thing this has done for me is to not only not buy Prime, BUT NOW UTILIZE AMAZON AS A LAST RESORT TO PURCHASE THINGS.

Then Amazon offers a full money-back guarantee with Asurion, LLC for $8.99. I now feel secure that I’m covered in case this thing breaks, since I won’t get to use it for at least 30 days after receipt (ATV-riding area is over 2 hours away). Well, it snapped in half on day 2 of riding. I get back home and try to file a warranty claim only to have Asurion’s software run me in circles. They say there is trouble with the claim and it must be resolved via chat window, which is never available, any time of day or night. No contact numbers, no google info about Asurion, they simply don’t seem to exist except on Amazon's pages.

    My only recourse is to contact Amazon, who repeatedly tells me the product is older than 30 Days. They won’t even consider honoring the extended warranty sold on their site. I explain that I wouldn’t have bought the original item without it, but the best I can get out of them is $46 of my original $65 purchase (item plus shipping and warranty). It seems like a lot of trouble for them to go through to make $13, but that is their scam. On a large scale, it must be a good living selling garbage products with fake warranties.

    Sadly, I will add to the other highly unsatisfactory reviews. I, too, am a long time customer with a Prime membership and have always spoken highly of Amazon to friends, family, colleagues, etc. until recently. Seattle is my hometown and I was proud of Amazon’s great success there. Have had so many recent poor experiences that it’s hard to know where to start here. So many recent orders being delivered to neighbors, many items never received, delays on a regular basis, etc. When you call you always get folks in other countries where English is not their first language, and they often do not understand details of what you are trying to convey to them, but they are quick to pretend like they do. Half the time they do not do what they tell you they will do, such as refunds, etc. which means another phone call must be made and you hold and hold and hold and start from scratch explaining to yet another person in another country etc. Frustrating.

    Is this great customer service? It’s so far from caring about the customer and more about pure greed, imo. I had a question about a product and typed in the q to ask the community and a red error box appeared stating that in order to ask a question you must be a good standing member of Amazon. Wait. What?? I then went to my profile and saw that all my years of reviews were gone. I am angry about this. I called and they said the “Community Team” handles these issues but they do not have phones so all correspondence needs to be in writing.

    They wrote a report and a week later I received an unbelievable letter. The letter said that I violated the review creation guidelines and therefore all reviews removed and unable to ever write a review again. The decision is final and there will be no future correspondence written regarding the matter. Now... I had not written a review for about a year and a half so to have this occur out of the blue with no explanation is just beyond ridiculous. I guess Amazon’s “Community Team” has gotten a bit power hungry and Amazon is so big now that they don’t care that they are treating long term Prime members like crap.

    They are not suppliers, but amazon does nothing. They are the world's largest publicly traded company and they do no security of any kind in vetting suppliers. It's a scam, they are nothing but a forum online, allowing anyone from anywhere to put fake information to open supplier account without any verification of any kind. I have read the thousands of complaints posted online and it is incredible that no one knows the truth of how amazon and Jeff Bezos operates, they simply have no compunctions about exposing the public to all of this.

    Updated on 04/02/2018: BUYERS BEWARE. I canceled Amazon account more than a year ago because of fraud and actual criminal assault by a 4th party foreign supplier, that listed itself, discountskincare as a New Jersey address, which turned out to be a PO box, and the police made report and tried to find suppliers, which Amazon tried to block. But finally turned out to be 2 Vietnamese Nonexistent names.

    Amazon is negligent, promoting fraud, defective products, and no customer service. Forget about refunds, and then they will cancel your account and ignore your existence. I have read so many complaints, Amazon does no vetting of suppliers or products. If you have had bad experiences write to Bezos, but it's a joke as well. They only care about the price of their stock and screwing the customers. Cancel your account, because Amazon is not what they started out to be. They are now flooded with CRIMINALS.

    Someone hacked our Amazon account and I phoned to sort it out. I spoke to three different people and was on the phone for one hour and ten minutes, most of that time on hold. I can only surmise that the resourcing for customer service is woefully inadequate and or there are so many problems with Amazon it is swamped by complaints/problems.

    Purchase a brand-new Garmin GPS from Amazon fulfilled from one of Amazon's 3rd party sellers, Adoreware. Unit arrived shipped to be in a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope very beat up. The product box was way too large to be shipped in the envelope. GPS would not charge or power up, DOA. Received return authorization and promptly returned and heard nothing. I tracked the package and it had been delivered 2 days after ship date. Seller claims they never received it. Amazon's position is because I did not spend the extra money to get a signature receipt on the return I could not prove I returned it so they would not issue a refund and they closed my case. So much for their touted A-Z Return Policy. Lesson learned is stay away from Amazon.

    After deciding last year to finally join Amazon Prime for the low low fee of $99.00 a year, it's turning out to be one big disappointment. The latest fiasco is their promised 2-day delivery. As my wife and I buy quite a bit on Amazon, we've noticed packages are taking 3-4 days to reach us. Not the 2-day prime delivery promised. Today I called, went on their chat line, and e-mailed them about where my package was. This was one of the few times I actually needed the items I order 2 days ago. I was told I would receive a $5.00 gift on my account to be used on futures since it didn't arrive today. The $5.00 gift card never arrived in my account. On their chat line I was told no delivery service delivers on Sunday for Amazon.

    I asked the person, "Was I imagining the other deliveries I've received from the USPS on Sunday?" I've received many deliveries on Sundays in the past. The USPS has a dedicated truck specifically for Prime package deliveries on Sunday here in Tallahassee, FL. In addition, the selections of movies offered free for Prime members are very limited. Their music selection is even worse. I probably have more music on my computer than you can listen to for free on Amazon. They want you to rent the latest movies. Needless to say, I've canceled my Prime membership and will just go back to shopping locally.

    I joined Amazon Prime for my free month and placed an order which included a carpet cleaner machine. The order was split in 2 packages. I was home the whole day. The 1st package arrived at my door no problem. The 2nd package I didn't see all day. Now I'm disabled so I have people that help me and that evening we were going out so we head out the door no package. Fortunately my helper decides to go to mailbox and get mail before we back out and find my 2nd package out in the driveway directly behind my car and since you could not see the package from inside the car if she had not checked mail first we would have backed over it.

    Now I have no clue since we don't even have steps out front why I got my 1st Amazon package as well as a 2nd UPS delivery right to my front door but this driver couldn't do the same. I was upset about this so I contacted customer service who in turn responded to me and told me they would make the situation known to the higher ups and would be giving me an additional free month of Prime for my trouble.

    Now before I got their email I had thought about what happened more because not only could it have been run over but also my order was not in a brown shipping box, it was just in its regular box like you would get it from the store so everyone could see it was and expensive item just sitting out in the driveway and taken it so I had decided I was not going to place anymore orders because being disabled if nobody was here I would not be outside looking all over for a package that should have been left by my door and I was also a bit made because when I went to the order page on Amazon where it said it had been delivered. It also stated that it had been left any my front door which was a lie.

    So when I got their email for the extra free month of Prime I thanked the person but explained my reasons stated above for believing I would not be placing anymore orders. I then received another email that stated for the delivery person issue and inconvenience they were going to refund me 30% of the order total and all I needed to do was let them know I would accept their 30% offer which I replied and said I would do. I was actually pleased they offered to do that for me and thought the issue was over with.

    Then this morning I get an email saying how sorry they were that I was given the wrong information and would not be getting the full refund on my order that I said I didn't get because their records show that the package had been delivered so I would now need to contact UPS and get a police report. To say I was shocked is putting it mildly because as I explained already it was only a 30% of total refund and I NEVER told them I didn't get the package.

    I responded to the email with what the back is going on. This is incorrect information and had to explain all over again what the issue was and the 30% refund not full refund. I was then informed that they don't do partial refunds so they could do nothing for me unless I wanted to send everything back for a full refund. Now I wasn't upset. I was mad and asked why in the blue blazes would I get an email that I still have from one of the service reps offering me that 30% refund if that was something they didn't offer. I mean 30% is pretty specific to come up with for you not to offer it. Bottom line I had to explain this to no less than 4 people and in the end they couldn't have cared less that they screwed up at least two times including to lie to a customer causing them to lose the customer.

    I had several orders this year from Amazon that never made it to me. This last order was made close to a month ago, I received an email that the order will be delayed, then a week later another email. The postal service could not find my address (I called the post office and it was a complete lie from Amazon) then another email that I refused it which was another lie, then another email that my shipment was not delivered because it may have been lost or damaged! I called Amazon and they would not grant a refund and stated I needed to wait another week in case the shipment arrives. So I waited and called them again, they stated they would not give me a refund and if I had the item to return it! Again, I NEVER received it! They lied to me and told me they would go ahead and return my money to my debit card, they later refused to refund me MY money! They gave me "credit" on their site for a future order.

    My final email for this order really took this experience from very bad to downright horrific! They sent me an email thanking me for returning the item I never received and that my Amazon account was credited! No refund for a order I paid for with my money and the item never made it to my property! The order before this the exact same thing, never got item and I was refused a refund. Amazon had me contact the vendor myself about getting a refund since they had my money. The vendor refused and I got the same runaround, the package must have gotten lost! Not their problem, they sent it! I wrote a review about my experience and they sent me an email threatening me that I definitely will not get a refund unless I remove my review, which they already stated they would not refund me! My review was brief "Never received my order or a refund".

    They were harassing me via email, I called Amazon that they needed to do something! It took forever and Amazon finally did refund me for this order only because I was being threatened and harassed by their vendor "Tuning Pros". Two orders before these, the same thing, no delivery, same emails, your order is delayed, order was refused, postal delivery states address could not be found, item may have been damaged in delivery! They never tell you the truth about what really happened to your order! For all I know it was never sent!

    They are surely quick to cash in my money and when I do not get my order, they keep my money and force me to use "credit" on their online site! If I pay in money that is taken out of my own banking debit card, my refund should be issued the same way! I find it scandalous how Amazon does business and it is a rip off to the consumer! I was very leery to make my last order with Amazon due to past experience. I thought I'd give it another chance but at this point, it has definitely proved to be the worse online experience ever!

    I've now received my second faulty, used Lenovo Yoga Tablet from Amazon being sold as a New product. I know the first one was used because another Lady's email information, Banking Contacts, Medical Contacts and phone numbers to co-ordinate, kept showing on the Tablet. Amazon exchanged that one without problem. This second unit that Amazon sent me as a replacement me does not work right. It will not type, it will not send messages. It's another broken, used piece of crap. Amazon says tough luck due to the fact that their very narrow "window of return" is a few days old. Amazon is ripping us all off by selling used, or refurbished, IF even that, products at a higher price, labeled as NEW, without any repercussions of any kind. They didn't even wipe out the previous owner's very personal information before selling it again.

    After many telephone calls and emails to Amazon they now say they will partially refund my money, but that is not acceptable. I guess Amazon's way of thinking is, "We'll refund the used dollar amount because it is used, even though we charged more for it as new". If you value your personal information in any way, I suggest you NOT purchase from Amazon any items that will carry that information. I don't know if it's illegal, but I know it's Immoral. It's a flat out scam and I intend to report it to as many Agencies as will listen. Be Safe People.

He didn't even care to hear me when I told him that my mail had already came for the day, and that USPS website tells me it is expected for delivery November 16!

    I am a Prime member, the item was sold and shipped by Amazon. The item was purchased October 27. He was telling me the same phrase over and over again, just like they had taught him. And when I asked him to return my membership money, he told me "sorry, I cannot do it since you already used your membership".

    Let me start by saying that I have been an Amazon customer for years, and the service has been excellent. I can't think of another company that has provided quality so consistently. Perhaps that is why I'm currently so upset. The other night I tried to download a book using Kindle Unlimited. Wasn't going to happen. They had changed the way the purchase page was set up. Before you clicked on the book, and it gave you the option of downloading for free as one of your ten books to borrow or to purchase. Now you only get the purchase option. To borrow the book you need to click the box on the first page by the book thumbnail. However, when I tried this I got a picture of a dog and the message can't find the page.

    The same night I tried to access my Starz subscription. It doesn't come up. They changed the way you access that as well. Again no notification. To reach Starz you need to take another step. Ok so I have it working now, and Kindle Unlimited has started working again, but I still have a complaint. You see I contacted customer service. Did they explain that the screenshots had changed. No, and why you ask? They didn't know. I spoke to three people all clearly having English as a second language who had no idea what the problem could be. Surely, more people than I were confused by the changes. It is one thing to have a language problem, and another to be completely ignorant of what you are doing. I am sadly disappointed with Amazon.

    This is not the first time to have this problem with Amazon. When you choose free shipping rather than pay the extra charge for two day shipping or Amazon Prime, your order sits in the warehouse for a week or two before shipping. I placed an order on Nov. 7. I was told it would arrive Nov. 13-17. Okay, that was fine. Now when I check I see it hasn't not shipped but will arrive on Nov. 17. This tells me that they hold the shipments to get people to pay for two day shipping when it is not necessary. I will not order from them again.

When I called customer service to complain about the unreliable service I received, they said all they could do is extend my Prime membership for an additional month at no charge. I pay annually so this did nothing for me, and paying for a Prime membership for the benefit of two-day shipping without the assurance that my package will arrive in two days is nonsense. I live in an urban area, in many cities they also offer same-day delivery, yet the package can't arrive in two days like they guarantee as a Prime member?

    I know other people that this has happened to a number of times and they have been refunded the amount of the purchase, since it did not meet the agreement.

    I don't even know where to start with this review. My most recent experience has been a catastrophe from start to finish: Price jumped $9 from the time I found the item to the time they were ordered, which was about 24 hours. Item arrived and sizing was completely off. This was a gift, yet I was told exchanges are not allowed unless the item is defective and you're exchanging for the EXACT same size, color, etc. So they would send a return label then send a gift card once the item was received. Item shipped back quickly and the card was sent to my email... For the cheaper price of the item, NOT the price that was paid for it.

    I emailed customer service, who said "well, send us the original order number and we'll look into it." (Obviously I'd provided the original number when I requested the return. But, fine, I'll play their games. At this point I've already decided I won't be doing business with them ever again. I'm just trying to get through it to get my son his birthday gift!!) I did a customer service chat, and was told sure they'd send the remaining balance, although they had actually charged us (the gift recipient) for return shipping and subtracted it from the value of the gift!! Unbelievable. Just realized they sent the shipping fee to the original sender, so my son is still short $9 on the value of his gift. The Prime member who sent the gift suggested we just send her the gift card number and she'll reorder the correct size. This is far too many hoops to jump through to send or receive a simple gift. We will not be doing business with them again.

It was certified for Hong Kong. The cell phone carrier in Canada could not see the phone using its IMEI number. It was LG US who advised us that the phone was certified for use in Hong Kong. To get to this point, took weeks. Amazon Canada passed us to Amazon US after complaining to the BBB.

    The end result, is Amazon refuse to refund our money. Our argument is they should have never advertised the phone in the first place. The seller was GSMHero. Their arrogance is unbelievable. Our warning is that consumers should be aware that Amazon do not like to take responsibility. They are hiding behind the internet.

    Last night, a little after 9 pm, November 8, 2017, I ordered a 2 pack flashlight item from Amazon.com. It was Amazon fulfillment item. I was instantly charged for the balance of the item, $17.40 and my Amazon gift card balance of $3.58 was applied to the purchase total. I canceled within the hour, the $3.58 gift card balance was restored, but the completed transaction charge was not reversed and will not be reversed, because THREE CSRs have told me that it is not possible that I was charged, that it is just an authorization hold and will be removed when my bank's policies prescribe.

    It is a completed transaction, I know the difference. All three CSRs are in Asia call centers, English is obviously not their first language. They have told me I am wrong and do not understand what I am looking at properly. I have emailed Amazon Corporate Headquarters and await a response from them. I sent a screenshot of my bank account information clearly showing the completed charge, NOT HOLD. The transaction shows a list of numbers and letters that presumably can be used to track the money exchange, but Amazon CSRs refuse to act on them.

My wife works from home and nobody knocked on the door all day long. Upon calling them, I was told that because the package was listed as delivered it was, therefore, lost there was nothing they could do. All they could offer was a month extension on my Prime membership and a $5 Amazon credit.

    Another suggestion was to simply wait to see if any of my neighbors got it by accident and maybe they'd get it to me. As well, it was suggested that whole ordeal was MY fault for placing the order so close to my working deadlines. Talk about insulting. I USED AMAZON PRIME BECAUSE OF THE ONE DAY DELIVERY!

    I am a Subscribe and Save member of Amazon, love the discounts, and the convenience of delivery but because of the thefts of packages I usually request my packages delivered when we are home and on the site they give us this option which I thought was perfect. But the shipments started being shipped a week earlier, and not on the days we asked, at first they honor it and then this last shipment I changed the date to a date we were home and it said that date all the way until it shipped and then it was changed back to the day before... I emailed them and told them my shipping date was changed and that I was not going to home and if they could not change it please have it delivered after 5pm.

    The CS lady assured me the carrier would honor my wishes. I come home and the package is on my doorstep, it was delivered at 10:36 am and sat all day outside. I feel between a rock and hard place because I cannot find that steep of a discount anywhere else and I feel that Amazon knows that they have many customers over a barrel.

    Amazon touts itself for fast delivery. I expect items they list as "in stock", to be sent in a reasonable amount of time. Certainly within 48 hours; not still "preparing five days later.” Another issue I have addressed, more than once, delaying a shipment to include with the monthly order. Waiting two weeks to send an item with the monthly order is unacceptable without contacting the buyer. Even after discussing this with Amazon, they will do this. I've stop ordering within two weeks of a monthly shipment to avoid delays. I don't ask for two day delivery, a week would be fine, but a week to mail makes delivery 1+ weeks.

    Last Wednesday, I ordered two books with Prime shipping. It said I would get them on Friday. On Thursday, it said they would ship Friday and I would receive them on Monday. On Friday, it said they wouldn’t arrive until Wednesday, which is tomorrow. So I ordered with Prime two day shipping but it will have taken 7 days in actuality.

    Prime service is no longer prime. Within the last year, the service is basically a scam. Most deliveries that are supposed to be 2 day delivery are delivered late or are delayed with an approximate delivery date even though the website states "out for delivery." Amazon customer service has no explanation when called and often hangs up because they don't have an answer. They are passing the deliveries off to Amazon drivers who have no motivation to get packages delivered on time because they can take the package back to the terminal to deliver later. The driver that arrived at my home in her personal car to deliver a package this evening at 9:15 pm stated this was her first day, and she was told she had to 11 pm to deliver even though the website showed delivery no later than 8 pm.

    I don't call this first class service/delivery that you pay almost 100.00 a year for membership if they are using what appeared to be a high school student to deliver packages at all hours of the evening. In addition, part of my order failed to arrive even though their site said that the entire order was out for delivery. When I questioned Amazon logistics as to why it showed that information, she said that she did not know why because she showed something different. This is not the first time I have been told different info than what their website shows.Basically don't rely on Prime service to get your packages delivered on time especially with the holiday season approaching. With so many issues lately, I am going to ask for my membership to be refunded.

    In the last 7 days I have placed two orders from Amazon.com. The first was for a double gun case for a hunting trip to Alaska. The delivery day came and went. I tracked it on Amazon and all it said was, "We're sorry, you will get your delivery today." After two days, I called in, they cancelled my order and re-ordered. I received it five days from when it was originally supposed to be here.

    I also ordered a hardwired smoke detector to replace one in my home a couple days later. I did receive it when it was supposed to be delivered but when I opened it, it was the wrong one. I called to let them know it was the wrong item to get the correct one ordered. Customer service told me she was authorized to give me a full refund. I told her I didn't want a refund, I would like them to ship me the one I had ordered. The response was I would have to re-order the correct one. I asked if they wanted the wrong one shipped back and was told I could keep it. I told them it would not work with my system and that I would just have to throw it away. I was told to throw it away.

    I realize sometimes a product may cost more to return than it is worth but I wouldn't want to throw away a $35 item in my business if I could resell it. I feel like Amazon is not run in a responsible way and customer service should try to solve a shipping issue instead of just saying order it again. If this was just a random issue, but two in one week isn't random. I don't expect I will order from Amazon again. The sad part is that no one really cares about me making that statement.

    Although I am writing about the cancellation of my seller account, I must say also that delivery is abysmal. The carriers leave packages outside the bldg where anyone can steal them. This has been done when I am home, they do not ring the buzzers so we have the option of receiving them at the front door. I had a seller account. Amazon closed it with no warning because of "inactivity." A phone rep who spoke poor English said they'd have warned me, but they did not. The option of opening a new seller account wasn't available because I'd have had to use my same email address.

    Received 2 $25 gift cards. Activated both card & amount showed on my account. I discarded the 2 cards. I also received a $15.44 settlement from Amazon. When I tried to make a purchase a week later, my $65.44 balance was at $0. Account showed the items were on a “Balance Hold”. My 1st call which lasted 30 minutes 1 gift card & settlement $ were applied to my account. My 2nd call was 1 hr 4 minutes with no results. My 3rd call was 30 minutes, I ended up requesting a supervisor which she had a bad attitude but requested I send them a screenshot of my account, thank goodness because after I sent it, Amazon “fixed” the missing gift card by deleting if out of my account entirely.

    I then sent them the before & after screenshots plus copies of the receipt of purchase on the cards. My next call I requested a USA representative. This 30 minute call resulted in the rep finding the missing card & indicated that in 1-2 days it would be restored to my account. The next day, I received an email requesting a copy of the missing gift card. As I told each rep, I had discarded the cards after they showed up in my account. I called again, refused to speak to “out of the country” representative. This 30 minute call resulted in Amazon offering a promotional credit of $25. This whole 3 hour event has been a nightmare.

    I live in a rural community and we receive our mail at a cluster of small neighborhood letter size mailboxes. It is almost 8 miles to the post office. UPS comes past my house at least once a day; sometimes twice except for Sundays. Last year Amazon Prime shipments started being handed off from UPS to the USPS. This means instead of receiving my package in 2 days it takes 3 to 4 days. One shipment got lost in the handoff between the two carriers. Amazon replaced the lost shipment, but it delayed delivery by a week and a half. I get an e-mail from Amazon saying that an attempted delivery failed. There is a link to USPS for rescheduling (bad idea because it will fail again because the package will not fit into the box) or I can drive to the post office and pick up the shipment in person which wastes my time and gas.

    I called Amazon customer service and they extended my Prime subscription for a month due to late delivery on one of the delayed shipments. Tried to explain that USPS does not deliver to my house and that the letter box is too small for most shipments. I asked for UPS to be notified that my shipments were not to be handed off to the USPS. The agent seemed confused and did a 3-way call with USPS. There is nothing that USPS can do about this problem. After more discussion, the agent said she would flag my account that shipments are not to be shipped via USPS. I have some doubts about how well this will work because it appears that it is UPS that is handing off shipments to USPS as shown in the tracking information. Since the shipments originate with UPS, it seems unlikely that they will see any messages about not shipping via USPS.

    The main reason that I subscribe to Amazon Prime is the 2 day free shipping. If this problem is not resolved, I will think twice about renewing my subscription. While this problem may not affect all Prime subscribers, I know that I am not the only one who has this problem. Amazon typically has good customer service, but this is an area where they are failing big time.

    I had furniture delivered that was damaged. I contacted Amazon and the option was to reorder and pay while waiting for a credit to be posted only after someone showed up to pick up the old furniture. The customer service area at Amazon used to be very helpful and during this experience they really could not have cared any less. So my option - pay another $300 and get charged immediately and wait for replacement items for another week. Also they told me that UPS would show up. When they showed up to pick up the item that will allow me to get credit. Most of us have a job so how will someone be there to allow the return to occur. Also, they told me to repackage. Anyone ever tried to repackage furniture? Finally, when I posted a review about this product and experience, you got it. Amazon screened the review and would not allow it post.

    2 day shipping rarely happens. Items are always on back order from a 3rd party. I can't remember the last time I actually received an item in 2 days. Most items don't arrive for a week. I think it is a scam and Amazon is avoiding sending merchandise in 2 days by using the 3rd party seller and backorder excuse. Amazon used to be a great company with quality merchandise, good prices and I actually received items in 2 days.

I had a missing package and informed Amazon.

    Amazon made the mistake of not obtaining a signature so they should immediately justify the issue. If I had any bad intentions what would I do differently? I would say no packages arrived, yet I’m an honest buyer whom demanded that a signature is required but the carrier which is "AMZL" is the same company didn't obtain a signature. I am out the money, I will verify any information by providing the order, tracking and every detail. This is illegal, the fact Amazon is large they think they are able to do what they want, it stops now. I am filing a report through agencies and much more.

    I have purchased thousands (literally!) of dollars worth of merchandise from Amazon over the last couple of years. I am just now waking up to the fact that a very large number of these items could have been purchased elsewhere at a significant savings --- even including shipping charges. Or in some cases, from local stores where I could have picked it up rather than paying any shipping charges. The pen refills that I used to buy at Staples for less than $3, Staples no longer carries. I have now found them on Amazon for more than $9. I checked the manufacturer's site, Zebra pens, and they still sell them for less than $3. I ordered a 9 cube open storage unit from Amazon and learned later, due to an error on the part of the re-seller on Amazon, that the unit delivered to me had actually been ordered from Bed, Bath and Beyond and drop shipped to me.

    (The shipping label showed it had come from BB&B, not Amazon. And I was able to find the order number.) It had been paid for entirely with some kind of bonus rebates the seller had accumulated due to high volume purchasing. What was also interesting was that the product was only rated with 3 stars on BB&B and 4 stars on Amazon - each with quite a number of reviews, enough reviews each that I believe should have equaled out the number of stars. I had actually seen the same unit on BB&B and dismissed it for the rating. I didn't realize that it was the exact same item that I ended up ordering from Amazon.

    I no longer blindly purchase anything from Amazon. I check for other sellers and the manufacturer when I can. I did provide my invoice number for the cube unit to Consumer Affairs for this review, but I am not tech savvy enough to be able to save the invoice or photo information into the file types they accept. All I can do is jpg or bitmap. So, I'm not listed as a verified buyer, but I did buy it. This is the product: Real SimpleR 9-Cube Storage Unit in Espresso by Real Simple. Sold by: JWD Products $79.11. BB&B was selling it for $10 less just a few miles from my home. When I tried to write about this in my Amazon review, it was rejected, even though I didn't mention BB&B or the specific product name or information. The pen refills I won't buy from Amazon, just giving people a heads up to check around.

    Amazon logistics is the worst shipping company. Prime shipping is a scam. I order from Amazon roughly once a week, at least. 99.9% of the time, the package is thrown into my yard, left at my side door off of a busy street, or not delivered on time. If my package is delivered by UPS, FedEx, or USPS, it's always placed where asked. I even put in my shipping preferences to place the package on the front porch, but Amazon Logistics has only done that once. Literally, once.

    I called yesterday about a package that was supposed to show up at 8pm and it didn't arrive. The first person I talked to said "We tracked the truck and it's in your area." The next person said they are unable to track the couriers and that she can only tell me that it was out for delivery. The person after that said that it would be delivered last night and I said "even though it's 2.5 hours late?" and she said "Hmm, let me refresh.... oh, looks like it's not coming, they just updated to say it was held at the facility." I asked her how that was possible even though it showed still out for delivery and she said "no idea, just is. Anything else?" This happens almost all the time. Why am I paying for a service that isn't reliable? Don't guarantee my shipping if you can't do it on time.

On Oct 27 Amazon sent an email saying the order had been cancelled "due to lack of availability". Well, the item is still available but now the price is $60 higher. I went through two rounds of emails with their abysmal customer service (Vijeta and Rashmi, who need to learn better English) and even asked if they could substitute an item that was a more reasonable $26 higher than my purchase price. Instead I got this response: "I realize this is frustrating; however we aren't able to offer any additional insight or action on this matter and any further inquiries regarding this issue won't receive a response." So in other words, Amazon jacked up the price of their micro SD card and then cancelled my order in order to make me repurchase it at the higher price. Really???

    To make matters worse, this is the second order Amazon has cancelled on me in the past two weeks. I've been spending thousands on Amazon but I think it might be time to start looking elsewhere if these are the kinds of games they're playing.

    After dealing with 3 agents on the phone about receiving a computer case damaged, I was only offered a refund because this item was out of stock. They wasted over an hour of my time before they did anything more, and then it was just an additional credit to get a slightly more expensive (not really nicer) case, but did not offer to upgrade the shipping though I told all of them how much I wanted it sooner. In addition, none of them listened to what I clearly told them. The first agent was pleasant but didn't really offer a solution I was happy with, citing policy. I called back and the next agent sounded like he didn't know how to access my order and even apologized my product didn't arrive that day and that it should arrive the next day after I told him it arrived damaged. I then insisted on a supervisor.

    The supervisor asked how I was doing and when I expressed that I was not doing well, they stated "Perfect." I even clearly stated how displeased I was with the service and why to each of them and the latter two were dismissive and apathetic. I love this product because it was not my first time buying it, but am considering canceling Prime after this experience. I feel Amazon should be required to offer customers that have these types of experiences the option of returning all digital media because I own too many digital products and regret that I purchased from a company that has no true concern about the customer.

    There is a point in choosing Same Day delivery, One day delivery and having two day delivery. That's the point of the Prime membership. Unfortunately they do not hit that mark. It sucks that I have to leave Amazon, Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime Now and Amazon Alexa after being a customer since 2011 due to carrier issues with Amazon Logistics. After persistent issues with carrier integrity, undelivered packages, packages delivered on public sidewalks and more, I am tired of hearing "we will put in feedback, we will request deprioritization."

    How can I have an Amazon Same Day order and Prime Now order where my Prime Now order is delivered just fine and 20 minutes later somehow we're "not available to accept packages." This system is flawed and $15 promotional credits do absolutely nothing when I'm planning a meal for dinner and meal prepping for a week. I have to get rid of the meat I ordered because part of the same day order was vacuum seal bags that I use to portion and freeze after seasoning. But, because of this reoccurring experiencing, I have to head back to my local stores which is a pain, but at least they will appreciate me.

    Customer Service

    Amazon Customer Service resolutions are terrible. I chatted with Amazon rep to authorize a return of a camera so I could buy a better camera. I asked the refund be given in all Amazon Gift card or at least the amount I initially spent on Amazon Gift Card (70% of it). They charged me a restocking fee of $305 and they took it out of the Amazon Gift Card balance. I had already paid my credit card off and no longer use the Amazon Store Card so I guess I will have to wait till they issue a check.

    Amazon lost a $4500.00 camera sale since they did not even put the initial 1051.72 that I used from Amazon Gift Card back to Amazon GC. Instead they took the restocking fee out of it and just gave me $672.00 --They could have done the right thing but the Supervisor wouldn't budge even with the chat transcript from Amazon. DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON. THEY HAVE GOTTEN SO "BIG" THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU ANYMORE. They forget the customers that helped build them.

    My wife and I ordered a Chromebooks for each of our daughters. Amazon subsequently canceled my wife's order because they said she had ordered more than one with multiple accounts. My wife only has one account and I have one account and we have two daughters. I communicated several times with Amazon about this and they keep saying my wife ordered two Chromebooks using two accounts. I asked to escalate the issue to a manager and Amazon reps refused. I would also like to point out that preventing children from ordering products is discrimination based on age.
