    Gaming ROG monitor - I sent it back because the first item was damaged, the item has been replaced with a new item and the changed item is defective. Amazon cannot refund return for the second time, it does not change with a product that runs smoothly in the item. I want an urgent solution and the value of the monitor is very high. I have been twice victimized and this experience is a very bad thing.

    Amazon forced us as sellers to use their fulfillment by declining to accept tracking numbers of certain carriers and when we finally gave in and signed up, on average 15% of our merchandise and gave us a hard time reimbursing us for the losses. In addition, siding with customers has its limits, but when a customer returned an item he used and destroyed Amazon reimbursed him with our money.

    I reached out to Amazon about two orders that I did not receive. The tracking number said they were delivered but they never arrived. The response I received from a customer service rep named Sarah, was not only unhelpful - it was confusing and incorrect. She only addressed one of the items even though they were shipped in the same order. She said she would issue a refund for one of the items but didnt even quote the correct price.

    I had stated I still wanted the items so she told me that I was going to have to reorder the item but make sure that it was Amazon Fulfilled (which the original order was) and then email her the order number after choosing the fastest delivery option so she could refund me that money. What!? I shouldnt have to do that. I WAS a prime member (I'm so aggravated and disappointing in Amazon I canceled it) I shouldn't have to do additional research or legwork. You're Amazon and I was a Prime member.

    Fix the problem! Resend the items. I don't care how you make it work. You should have made it work. I then called customer service and that experience just further frustrated me and wasted my time. She was not helpful at all and was contradicting what the other girl said to me. Please people just buy more stuff in stores because if we keep going the way we are physical stores will be gone and Amazon can do whatever they want. Side note, I had the girl on the phone cancel my Amazon Prime membership and issue me a full refund.

    Amazon double charged my order for one item. I'm a Prime member and I have been shopping with Amazon for years. This is the first time I have had trouble with them. When I went to my order page to see if a item that I had pre-ordered for a month was about to ship. Then I noticed Amazon said my card had been declined. I thought that was a mistake because I had just enough money on that card to cover the item. I have a disability. I don't work. I don't get much money. I don't have the money to waste. Amazon would not ship my item until they were paid, so I used another credit card. Then I found out that the payment on the first card I used (that they said was declined) did in fact go through. Amazon told me that was just a authorization check they did, but when they tried to charge my card for real, it was declined. That was not true. I called my bank and asked about the charge.

    The man who helped me confirmed what I already suspected that Amazon did in fact charge the first card and it went through. After they charged my card and it went through, the next day Amazon then tried to charge my card again 9 more times (which were all declined). No wonder if was declined. There was no more money on the card. Amazon already charged me and the charge for the item that Amazon said was a authorization check actually went through as a charge. Now two card have the same charge on them for the same item. So, I kept on calling Amazon and they all told the same as story. They just were trying to cover this own butts. They all told me the first card was just a authorization check that I was charge nothing because the card was declined. I told one rep that the charge of $28.26 was listed on my bank account.

    She told me that she talked to a guy in billing and he told her and tell me that it was a mock charge that the bank will drop it off my bank account in 3 to 5 days. Amazon told me that they just checked to see if the money was on the card. Well guess what the charge is still there listed on my bank transactions page. Today is the fifth day. So, Amazon lied about the charge being a authorization check. I called Amazon last night and the nice foreign lady I talked to found the mistake (she says) and I was refunded on the first card. She told me I should see the refund within 10 days. If I do not see a refund within 10 days I will file a dispute with the bank and I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint. It's very stressful talking to Amazon's customer service. It was a nightmare until I talked with the nice foreign lady.

    Amazon is a great website for getting products shipped to you online. They've incorporated recent technology such as Alexa, which has been VERY useful whether it be for keeping my young siblings entertained, or helping plan out my grocery shopping plan. I have not had any problems with Amazon over the last three years... At least I thought I didn't.

    Amazon has recently been denying my debit cards. Yesterday, they locked my account because "the bank would not release" my information. After doing further research, I cannot order, cancel orders, etc. They've requested that I fax in my information to consumer affairs (or whatever it's called). They've asked for my personal information. I feel this is a ridiculous measure to take!

    I ordered three surgical cushions on the Amazon site. The cushions were not usable. I returned the cushions via the website and telephone call to Amazon. A day after my refund request, a person identifying himself as picking up the return arrived at the house with a delivery uniform. He took all three cushions. On the website refund link, I was notified of a refund. Today I received, two weeks after the items were taken from my home, an E-mail from Amazon stating if the items were not returned I would be charged for two of the items. There is no E-mail link at Amazon for a customer complaint. The reason for the review is the instability of the Amazon system and its failure to properly track its refund returned items, and to provide an easy forum and method for the protection of the consumer. Receipt is not readily available.

    Ran out of ink so ordered cartridges from Amazon's "Same Day Delivery" on a Wednesday morning. Unfortunately, I forgot that they don't use reliable, major delivery services for same day items. Instead, "Amazon Logistics" was given my package and so began an absurd experience that has resulted in my not receiving any product at all.

    On Wednesday, they asked for directions and then updated tracking to reflect it was undeliverable as security precluded them being able to access my front door because it was a gated community. It is not. I live on a public street. Then a rep from Logistics kept me on the phone for 45 minutes "updating the maps" and promised two things: I'd receive my package between 8 and 12 the next day and she would call at 6 pm to confirm. Neither occurred. Mid morning they changed the status of the package as lost in transit (in their driver's vehicle, really?). More extended conversations and I was promised that it would definitely be on its way and received later today.

    Early that evening I call, spoke to Logistics, and got confirmation that it was on the driver's vehicle and that he was nearby. A couple of hours later, no package and they were leaving the deliverable flag on the tracking record. By this morning they had changed to status to delivered at 11:30 pm. Only problem? It wasn't. Not only am I extremely frustrated and disappointed at the abysmal service, I have to wonder? What did Logistics and their driver(s) do with my initial and then the replacement package? Who has kept this merchandise and does anyone but me care about this sketchy situation?

    I have a complaint. Amazon is now requiring that users sign up for ADDITIONAL video services to view their videos, each of which requires additional monthly fees, and in at least one case, MULTIPLE services, just to watch many of the films of a single director. The bottom line is that now we have to sign up with at least 2 services just to watch ONE film! And if we want to watch all the films of a given director, for example, we might have to sign up with 3 or 4 or more services! In the case I'm experiencing right now, if I want to watch all the major films of the director Eric Rohmer, I am required first to subscribe to Amazon Prime, of course (no particular problem with that), but then, to watch some of them I am ALSO required to sign up with Fandor, and for others with Sundance, each of course (I assume, as I have not tried to sign up with any of these others) with separate monthly charges!

    That is an outrage! It is a SCAM to get videophiles to sign up with NUMEROUS video services! It COULD be engineered so that videophiles would have to sign up with a different service to watch each film by every given director (or actor, or genre, etc.). I just want to shout SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! We must do everything we can to resist this trend, this ripoff scam being perpetrated by Amazon. I for one am buying DVDs on eBay, rather than submit to their criminal capitalistic coercion.

Immediately after I was referred to a site to get a 'free' trial offer that would cost over hundred dollars. No way to decline this offer. This all came about from an email from Amazon Prime stating my order I placed would be shipped in 48 hours. I placed no orders because the one and only order I placed with Amazon years ago had them placing me in Amazon Prime for $99 a year. Something I did not know would happen. Now this.

    Updated review: Oct. 1, 2017

    The day before this review went up I finally received my package, but no real thanks to their support department. For a company toting to be building the world's most "customer-centric company," they're missing a very important foundational stone that I've seen in most all successful customer support systems, which are dedicated support tickets. It is hard to get any traction in solving a complicated issue when a new person - who clearly has not received any information about previous correspondence - responds every time.

    The last two e-mails I sent in response, I went so far as to address them to the representative who signed the bottom of the e-mail I was responding to and quoted sections of their response just to try to provide that info myself, if not just receive the same individual, but it fell upon deaf ears (or blind eyes in this case, I suppose). Their last e-mail even requested a response, after offering to reship via their fastest means for free - which was two day prime that I already had - or continue with the cancellation and refunding of the order that was automatically requested when it was marked as undeliverable. I responded accordingly, and received a response, again from a different representative who acted like the first option had never been offered even though I have the email proof to say otherwise.

    I've been told my numerous friends that their phone support is far better, and to use it instead. I would hope that it is, because my experience has been that of talking to a brick wall.

    And, for the record, I just let the order be cancelled and reordered it myself after that response. I sent it to my PO Box after getting no clear answer as to whether it would be shipped that way. The closest answer I got was that they would put in a deprioritization request on my physical address to "reduce the chance" of it being shipped my them, but that it could still be shipped that way. I would also note that the request was only made for my physical address. So as I said, I took no risk and sent it to my PO Box instead.. and then it went via UPS instead. Fortunately it was a small enough package that the post office would accept it.

    I still very much like Amazon as a site, and I won't knock the platform itself, but as I said at the start of this update, their "customer-centric" model is laughable when it comes to their e-mail support. I will bump this to two stars on the sole premise that they did repeatedly try to compensate my issue, and I did finally received the package.. even if it was really all my doing.

    Original Review: Sept. 25, 2017

    Some relevant information to this review before I begin. I often have issues with having items shipped to my residence that are not the fault of the sellers themselves. Due to a number of circumstances out of my control, I have to have a PO Box in a different town than my physical address, and they recently decided to "update" our physical addresses without actually having them updated in GPS units or other mapping software. As a result, I have two half-working physical addresses in one town and a PO Box in another. If that sounds like a confusing mess, it is.

    Now because of that I often have to contact sellers to try to remedy issues with my products being shipped, either because UPS or FedEx can't find my house, or they get a package for my actual post office who often won't accept mail from outside carriers because their location is too small to handle them, or I give a physical address and it ships via the postal service (as was the case with this order), so it goes to the wrong Post Office and gets returned. Usually this is a non-issue for me at this point. I contact the seller, explain my situation, and we get things sorted out in a way that is mutually beneficial to me and abides by the companies policies. Not with Amazon.

    On the day I received my initial tracking information, I realized they were shipping via USPS to my physical address. According to the tracking information I have received it has not even left Amazon's possession yet, they've merely contacted USPS to notify them there is a package coming. Okay, fine, I go through my typical process of contacting the seller (Amazon here) to see about holding the package to change the address, or preparing for the item to be returned and reshipped to the appropriate address at a later date. Upon contacting them and outlining my situation in great detail, I receive an e-mail that basically amounts to "We understand your concern, we've contacted the provider and they expect you to receive your package by Thursday." Well I know I'm not going to get it because it's going to the wrong post office and is going to be marked as undeliverable, but I chalk it up to me maybe not explaining my situation well.

    So I respond to the e-mail I received and outline the problem again. I outright state that the package, as postmarked, is going to the wrong post office for me to receive mail, that I've dealt with this numerous times, and that it will be marked an undeliverable and returned to sender. I get the same "We've contacted the provider..." response from a different representative. This one tells me if I don't have the package by the date provided to contact them again and they will help resolve the issue. This was Saturday.

    Fast forward to today. The package arrives at the wrong post office, marked as undeliverable, and I receive the typical automated "Unfortunately, we're having trouble delivering your package to the address provided," e-mail. So, for the third time, I contact their customer support in direct response to this enquiry from the e-mail I received, this time only explaining that I have previously contacted them on this issue, was asked to respond if I had issues, and provide the new address to get it reshipped.

    Does the package get reshipped? No. Instead it is being cancelled and I'm having my money refunded. The only silver lining on this whole situation is that, as of yet, the price on all the items in my order hasn't changed so when I do eventually receive my refund I can just re-order it for the same price. This is, assuming of course, that when I finally do get my refund this is still the case. It also assumes that when I give them my PO Box address this time they ship it via USPS again. Otherwise, I'm going to unfortunately play this canned response merry-go-round a second time with them. I would hazard a solid, almost certain guess to say that I've had to contact every company I've bought from at least once regarding a shipping issue, and I've never had a company be less helpful than Amazon was with it. Hopefully I will eventually get my package.

First call the call center in Philippines would not help him. Said the order was not paid. Bank said order was paid and they tried to double charge. Long story short. He did not get order.

And the sad part about this story is after calling Amazon and they admitted my account was hacked into, they did nothing as far as giving my money back. Not only that but I have checked my account out and there is no mention of it ever been ordered. They destroyed all information regarding the order. They are crooks big time.

    Amazon locked my account on September 2nd and at the time of this writing it is still locked. Prior to this I had no idea there was an issue. They claim I owe them money because a charge was disputed. When I reviewed my credit card transactions I found that Amazon had charged my card three times for the specified amount on the day in question. Two of the charges were disputed by the credit card company. I guess they found Amazon's behavior to be suspicious because this occurred without any input from me. What this means is that the item is paid in full but Amazon is insisting that I repay an extra charge they made to my account. Until I pay twice for an item I ordered and received once, my account will be locked.

    When your account is locked you lose the ability to review your orders. You also lose access to the help pages on the Amazon site. So I had to get the contact number to call and attempt to resolve this issue by using a Google search. I called them on Monday (9/11/17) and talked to someone who offered no help and I was told I would be contacted within 24 hours by someone from their security dept. All I got was an email demanding that I authorize them to charge the money I DO NOT OWE THEM. They offer no other remedy to this issue.

    I called them again today (9/14/17) and received the same stone wall treatment and another promise to contact me within 24 hours. I paid for Prime service and they are denying me this service based on a false premise. They are cheating me plain and simple. I have reviewed my email. This is only one item for the stated amount on that day. There were three charges for the same amount made on the same day by Amazon and the credit card company reversed two of them. Three minus two equals one full payment.

    I would think that a company like Amazon could simply sum up the value of invoices and payment evaluate that there was no issue. I find the act of disallowing me from reviewing my orders or access help pages to be a nakedly hostile. I've been a loyal customer for more than a decade and this is the respect they show me. They given me no recourse or consideration on the matter. They are holding my account hostage until I pay money I DO NOT OWE THEM. This is extortion plain and simple. They have no morals. I've spent many thousands of dollars on Amazon over the years. Ending this business relationship cost them far more than the amount they are trying to steal from me now.

    Terribly disgusted about Amazon's delivery service. Apparently they now hire independent contractors to deliver for them, which up until recently I've always had UPS, FedEx, or USPS deliver from them. Today my packages were delivered in a private vehicle that didn't bother to pull into our driveway. Instead he pulls up in front of the road, 2 feet into our grass that we pay to have professionally taken care of, causing ruts and tire tracks in the grass. No knock on the door, just plops our packages in the middle of the porch for all passersby to see, instead of putting them behind the potted plants like UPS does.

    I take them inside the house and find out the packages and contents inside REEK of cigarette smoke. So much so that I would guess my packages were sitting in this person's car all night long. No longer will I purchase anything from Amazon again. Their delivery service is unprofessional and disgusting, and judging by all of their delivery problems that I've read about online, nothing will be done about it.

    I am so utterly disappointed in the way Amazon handled my situation. My husband is an Amazon Prime member which he pays annually for. He purchased an item for hunting that was originally priced at $119. The item was shipped from Amazon itself and the item was bent, paint chipped, and starting to rust!!! I called and spoke to a woman named Jesse who told me they can either refund the money and I would have to go through the hassle of packing the item back up and dropping it off to a UPS store and wait until the item comes back in stock (over a week when my husband was supposed to use the item this coming weekend), or they can give me only a 20% discount, but not on the new lowered price of $99.

    So in reality we would have paid $95 for a damaged product when the new one would only be $99!! I am beyond disgusted that Amazon cannot help more in this situation. It is not my husband's fault that they send out damaged items!! I will definitely be rethinking being a prime member and Amazon customer in the future. I am so disappointed!

My order was scheduled to arrive September 7, 2017. What followed instead was a series of maddening conversations and a package I have yet to receive:

The customer service rep would put in a word to the carrier and get me my order that day (September 8 - by 8:00 pm). I was excited until around 4 pm when I called to double check and was told that I wouldn’t be receiving it. Due to the weather conditions and the hurricane scare, the carriers weren’t available.

    While unhappy about this, I understood and I was more than patient. My shipping got refunded because of the mess. The hurricane was a tropical storm and everything was cleared up the following Monday. I gave it until Tuesday September 12 until I contacted Amazon again to check on my package. I was reassured and told that I would absolutely have it on September 14, 2017 by 8 pm! Except I received a message on my email informing me of yet another delay. And then I called again - I got a very unhelpful representative that spoke with uncertainty. Her sentences were full of “Um’s” and “Ah’s” as if she didn’t know what she was doing. And she proceeded to inform me that my package may be lost. The courier couldn’t find it. I may or may not get it. It may or may not be there. After all of this I had and still do not have any real answers from anyone.

    I emailed the company and was told that I should wait and see. But my shipping would be refunded as an act of goodwill. Except that’s already happened - so I take it as an act to simply write off my issue. Which I find highly offensive of a company I adore and actively use. I told all of the above to a representative named Kalyani last night (September 14) and they assured me that I would get it today (September 15, 2017). As an act of goodwill I would receive a $15 credit to my account too.

    I check the status of my order today and it says that it was delivered yesterday. I call and once again I talk to someone that is unsure what to do. He tells me that I need to wait until 8 pm tonight. If I don’t get it today then they will send out a replacement tomorrow. But I have to wait. Again. Someone tells me I have to wait. Over a week of waiting and no one can give me straight answers. My advice, find your stuff somewhere else. The emails, chats, or calls aren't helpful.

    My daughter ordered a book from your company on the 7th of September but found the book for a cheaper price somewhere else canceled the book with you an hour later. The problem is you took the money out of my account on the same day the 7th. Here it is the 15th and the money still has not been returned to my account. I am very uncomfortable with this because I have to keep checking with my bank to see if the money has been returned. 10 days is too long to wait for my money to be returned to me. You need to work on your return policy. You resource sales out then you should make sure the money is returned just a fast. The book has never left your warehouse. I don't understand why it takes so long for you to return the money. I not sure I want to continue doing business with you in the future.

    I'm done with Amazon. I went from buying $100k a year from them to now. Just so frustrated, I will seek alternative suppliers for my company’s needs. They no longer have a delivery guarantee and I just can't wait on items to show up when their new logistics partners feel like delivering them. OnTRAC doesn't work in Colorado! Maybe they do okay in California but they have never delivered anything on time and just plain lost packages most of the time. You call them and they have no idea where your package is or when it will be delivered.

    One time, 3 weeks after Amazon refunded my purchase and I re-ordered and received its replacement, some kid showed up in a rusted out Toyota and dropped off and broken up box in our lobby with my order in it. Nice representation for a multi-million dollar company. USPS well forget about your order being delivered on-time. The delivery date that Amazon gives you is when the USPS shipping partner gets the package to you! Plan on 2-3 days after that for the government employee to show up with your stuff! I used to love my Amazon but can't spend 2-3 hours a week in chats or calls trying to find out if my stuff may or may not show up on time!!!

    I really enjoy shopping Amazon. Almost always find the best prices and almost always free shipping. But the two day shipping that is promised as a Prime member? It's going the way of the dinosaur. I think Amazon should make it 3 day shipping and then send it in 3 days. Not 4 days, not 5 days or sometimes even a week.

    I must share my situation with Amazon because I can't believe what just happened and how they treat their customers. I have opened my account about 20 days ago and I ordered one item from their page. Everything was ok and my item came exactly as they said. After that I ordered two more items and they put my account on hold because of the verification my bank account. After I sent them my billing information about four times they closed my account without a reason. After that, I called them and told them the same billing information as first four times and they reopened my account.

    Now we are on the beginning again. I have ordered one more item and five minutes later I ordered same two items I ordered the first time my account has been closed (with the same card I ordered everything). Again they put my account on hold because of the bank account verification. The irony is that the FIRST ITEM was delivered and other ones were not (all with the same card). Since then they sent me same e-mail in which they say what I need to do to reopen it for dozen times and I replied on every one with all of my billing information.

    I have spoken with ten different Amazon associates about the problem and ask them where is the problem? They said I am sending good complete information, but I need to fax the billing statement from my bank. I went to my bank to print my billing statement and to check am I sending them good billing information. Bank associates confirmed that I am sending correct information. After I fax them my billing statement twice (last time directly from my bank) and sent them CORRECT BILLING INFORMATION they closed my account without a reason.

    I called them for the tenth time and they just said that I can't open any new accounts and can't do anything to change that!!! To sum up, they just told me that they don't give a ** for their customers and will do anything they want. They didn't even try to resolve my problem and treated me like an idiot, so I think they should just remove their customer service because they obviously can't and don't want to help their customers.

    I ordered an item from Amazon.com about 2 months ago and, despite the item being shipped to the seller at the seller's request, Amazon hasn't refund my money for the purchase. I placed order #** with Amazon.com on 7/21/17. On 8/21/17, I noticed that the item had been returned to the seller. I requested a refund from Amazon Customer Service. Amazon didn't refund the order or respond to my request, so I spoke with an Amazon supervisor on 8/23/17. The supervisor informed me that I would receive a refund within 24 hours. I called back 24 hours later and there was no record, I was told, of a refund.

    I placed 3 more calls to Amazon's support team, only to be told that I would not get a refund for the order that I did not receive. I was instructed to send an email to Amazon's "A-to-Z Escalations Team." I sent the email as requested on 9/1/17. By 9/6/17, I still had not received a refund or a reply from Amazon. I spoke with an Amazon supervisor, and was told that I would be issued a refund. On 9/11/17, I still had not received a refund. I spoke with an Amazon supervisor, who told me that Amazon won't give me refund. I was told to wait until 9/13/17, at which time Amazon would consider giving me a refund if I emailed their A-to-Z team.

    It's 9/13/17, and I've spoken with Amazon support, their A-to-Z team (by email) and their Twitter team, and I still don't have a refund. The most recent reason given for not refunding my order was: "...the tracking information below shows that someone at your address signed for the package." I confirmed for Amazon that the item was sent to the seller (returned to the address from which it was shipped) and that the signer was the seller. I also started a conference call with an Amazon Supervisor and a FedEx (the shipment's carrier) supervisor, where the FedEx representative confirmed that the item was delivered to the sender by FedEx at the sender's request. It's now been 8 weeks and I don't have a refund.

    Prime! What a tactic! I've been an Amazon customer since 2002, and have always found it to be an overall good and efficient business. However, I've noticed they've brought in more artillery to the battle of moving customers to their "PRIME" service. I had noticed that my last few standard orders had taken much longer than usual to even ship. Instead of a non-PRIME order getting shipped in a day or two, it's now twice as long. It used to be that if my order total was over a certain amount AND the items qualified, the order was eligible for free shipping.

    That still is the case, but now the orders are taking way longer to arrive. So, I (like others. I'm sure) decided to try Amazon Prime. When selecting PRIME, I missed the monthly cost part when I placed my order. (Hmmm... I wonder if that information was deliberately positioned so it would be difficult to see, rather than in big bold type?) When I received my PRIME account acknowledgment, I saw that my monthly cost was $10.99! So, after being forced by their deliberately slow "other than PRIME" shipping to join PRIME, I have decided to cancel my $132.00 per year membership and shop elsewhere, or use standard Amazon and now plan ahead for the longer shipping.

    I can only imagine the barrels of money Amazon is making via PRIME. What a scam! Sure, businesses should make a profit, but this tactic is borderline unethical. Instead of continuing to streamline their business exchange process in order to attract new customers, and satisfy existing customers, they've moved to herd their millions of guppies into the "pay-me-more" corral. I suppose they're counting on the average Amazon customer being so persuaded by the useless junk they toss at you for the unbelievable low cost of only $10.99 per month, that they're blind to the scam.

    I have been reasonably satisfied with the overall service provided by Prime Amazon until recently. The shipping has for the most part been problem free and the customer response very good. I ran into problem with pricing partly as a result of not understanding product supply and pricing. I misunderstood that Amazon did not check for the lowest price by comparison to other providers of the same product. This was brought to my attention when ordering a rug cleaner Folex spot cleaner for rugs. The initial product page showed a price of approximately $36.00. Fortunately my wife was present and when I asked what she generally paid for the product was about $10.00 I questioned her (never question your spouse) when it comes to household prices.

    Switched back to Google, found identical product for $10.00 at Canadian Tire. Questioned Amazon and received an explanation that Amazon did not compare nor would it match Canadian Tire price. Tried in vain to explain very unfair practice as if was not for my spouse's presence I could have very easily ordered from Amazon. Explained it would be beneficial to have Amazon look into changing the policy to the benefit of all the thousands of individuals who use Amazon on a regular basis. The same reply was received from the representative over and over "policy could not be changed and no further discussion would not be helpful." Left with a request to have someone who is responsible for policy review contact me.

    When you know exactly what you are looking for, you can get some amazing deals... It might take a while looking for those deals because there are so many ways to find different deals on Amazon. Unfortunately the regular things are not the best deals, especially being a Prime member but you do get it quicker so that is pretty much a part of what you are paying for, along with the membership - I'm assuming so the value on most stuff, unless you get a "lightning deal" or something like that, you'll pay at least the regular price.

    I also have to say regarding customer service, that also depends on who you are talking to since not everyone knows everything & how to fix it. So there again, the best thing if it's a tricky situation is to go right to the upper level management & 9 out of 10 times they will make sure you are taken care of immediately, no second calls with team leads & that is what all upper level management is called, not supervisor, manager or anything else.

    I am preparing for the hurricane that is due to hit FL this weekend. I ordered several items so that they would arrive BEFORE the hurricane (Order # **). When I put the propane grill in my order, it said it would get here by Friday, but when Amazon sent the confirming email, it says delivery is expected Monday. If that's the case, it will do me no good, and also, I doubt it will be Monday if a Category 5. I contacted customer service immediately and messaged with Deepak who could do nothing.

    I'm not sure when I was checking out, it said Friday, which is why I checked out - if it had said Monday, I never would have ordered it. I know I can return it but it's a hassle and it's nuts right now trying to get supplies for the hurricane. More importantly, I've just wasted a day which is precious at a time like this when supplies are dwindling quickly to go out and buy one. I can't even begin to think of the many tens of thousands I've spent on Amazon. 2 day shipping is not really 2 day shipping, I think they don't think people realize this - but I notice rarely does anything come in 2 days. I find it disappointing and I am seriously contemplating canceling my Prime membership and telling everyone I know about this situation. I've already posted it on Facebook, people need to know they shouldn't count on Amazon.

    We have a home-based business and website that has grown quite a lot in the past ten years, selling also on ebay. Mr. retired early to take over the shipping department because good help was so hard to find. We had these experiences when we tried to sell on Amazon. We hired a girl to take care of shipping just 40 of our 3000+ items last September when we took a trip of a lifetime for a month. She didn't always ship things within two days. Lesson learned: Don't leave town thinking anyone will take care of your business while you are gone. No one cares for it like you do.

    We had one company take over an item, changing the ASIN and photograph to an item that is completely different. That was o.k. with Amazon. Our protests were ignored. That seller is still there. Lesson learned: Create a new asin for everything you import/create/design. Have your logo attached to ALL of your items. We called for specific help from the Amazon agents because we have imported some items that are exactly the same as what other sellers have. We were CLEARLY instructed to list on SPECIFIC existing asins. Of course, we had no record of this advice. It made other sellers upset and they reported us for breaking rules. We were even accused of ''planning to'' do something wrong, which we were not. We had ordered some competing products to take a look at them, packaging, etc., a common practice across all industries. Lesson learned: use a stealth account when you purchase from the competition.

    There is one very dishonest seller we see still on Amazon. That seller seems to have it figured out. Lesson learned: The worst bully on the playground wins on Amazon! It doesn't matter whether the accusation is true. Just make it and you are home free. Then Mr., new to the rigors of customer service in a female-dominated sector, sent the wrong thing to a lady THREE times! We paid for and shipped products to her FOUR times! She was emotionally involved. It was probably a gift for a child, and she made a complaint. Boo-hoo for her. She had loads of free stuff and was still out for blood... Lesson learned: some customers want to be unhappy.

    Never did Amazon once reach out to ask us what was causing the problems. Suddenly, we were kicked off the platform in a terse email. We have been unable obtain a response or explanation to any questions. No grace period. No help. Nothing. To top this all off, when we went to Etsy to try to sell we were literally told, in writing, that they don't want us because they think we would be constantly trying to break the rules! If that were true how could we have ever built a high, very high, feedback score on ebay? Etsy, too, has refused to answer our questions. The statement from Etsy made us wonder whether Amazon and Etsy are connected somehow in the backroom.

    Our advice to anyone out there thinking of selling on Amazon--create new asins for everything you sell because other sellers are waiting to put you out of business with accusations--even if you have specifically followed Amazon agents' instructions. Know going into it that the customers are aggressive. Costs of selling online are very high by the time you have figured in all of the fees/commissions charged by the different sites and inventory control software. Be willing to work 80 hours a week without a day off for months at a time.

    If we didn't already have a very successful business on ebay we might understand. However, we cannot understand Amazon's way of dealing with the problems we had. We think there should have been some way to prove our honesty and willingness to learn to do things ''the Amazon way.'' Selling online is no picnic. We learned that the worst bully on the playground wins at Amazon.

That totally defeats the purpose of the shipping that I chose, and will do me no good now since my friends daughter leaves town the morning of the 5th.

    I am Amazon Prime member. On 9/1/17 I purchased several items for an upcoming backpacking trip. Items were to be delivered by 9/6/17, in time for my trip departure on 9/7/17. On 9/2/17 I received notifications (via email, Amazon app) that the backpacking tent I ordered would not be delivered until 9/12/17. Not only is this the last day of my planned trip but is 6 days after promised delivery, 11 days after order date for what is supposed to be 2 day delivery (business day). I called customer service. I was told that the delay was because I was ordering either a large item or a fragile item. A 4-5 pound backpacking tent is neither. I then asked for a supervisor. He told me that the reason it would not be delivered as promised was because "You ordered too many items".

    I asked him if he realized how absurd it sounded for him (and Amazon) to be telling me that I ordered too many items. He told me that's what the computer said. He then told me I could order another tent and it would get delivered by when the original was supposed to be delivered and then I could return the first tent ordered. So his solution was for me to spend more money then return something and then wait until I received the refund. It is beyond my imagination that a business would tell a customer that because they made a large purchase, they would, in essence, be punished and not receive the full benefits that a membership package provides. Unfortunately I have now had to cancel my trip. I will be returning all of the items I purchased.

    First, off. This isn't a product review or seller feedback. This is solely about Amazon's customer service practices. I have been an Amazon Prime Member for 13 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on Amazon. I ordered this for my son for his birthday. In the first shipment, the blender pitcher had a crack in it. So, I returned it and re-ordered it. In the second shipment, the blender pitcher had 2 cracks in it. Very disappointing. We contacted customer service after receiving the second damaged product. The customer service rep that we spoke to was great. She did the unexpected and issued a refund, told us to keep the damaged product (donate, throw it away or keep it) and told us that she was going to send a third blender (next day) at no charge. At this point, I couldn't believe how great the Amazon customer service experience was. Fast forward 24 hours. No blender.

    We contact customer service again, and were told that there was no way they could send us the blender at no charge (Really? I have it in writing from your representative!). The best we could do is re-order the product. Let me add that, I would have been perfectly satisfied with a refund, or even if Amazon replaced the damaged merchandise for the second time. I am not the type of person who expects something for nothing. But that is not what happened. The reason that I am upset is that they promised to make it right, and then denied ever having said that they would replace the product at no charge. This experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I don't think I can shop at Amazon anymore. If experience has taught me anything it's that protesting with your wallet, is sometimes the clearest message to send. Do I think Amazon will miss my patronage? Not for a minute. Will I feel better not giving Amazon my business? Most definitely!!

    I had ordered 6 small charms as gifts for hanging from rearview mirrors. The order arrived in 2 days but all 6 charms were loose in a very large box. There was no packing or anything to secure these small items. The charms were small enough. They should have been placed in a small bubble envelope and not thrown loose in a box. My biggest pet peeve was there was no order invoice or any kind of paperwork included with the items. It took quite a bit of time just to even find a customer service phone number to call. The customer service lady was from another country and it was obvious that she only reads from a script. I was trying to find out why they no longer included any of the order information, sales slip, etc. She tried to explain but her English was not good enough to provide any explanation that made sense.

    The rep put me on hold for a very long time and came back and I could hear someone in the background telling her what to tell me and something to the effect that not all packages get sales slip and that I didn't need one. And I said that with these charms being gifts I needed to have a form so I would know how (and to whom) I could return the item to and she said another reason this packing paperwork was not included was because of the environment and wanting to reduce waste and that if I needed to return anything I could look up my order # and send the item back without charge. Again, no explanation as to how any of this is done which is why you include the order and return forms in the first place.

    You can bet I won't be renewing my Prime membership for 2018. Total waste of money. Oh, and one other thing to be aware of... When you're paying for Prime you will find many times the cost of an item under Prime might be more expensive than without Prime membership and that's to offset the cost of shipping which is supposed to be an included (and free) service so Amazon gets you coming and going.

    When placing an order with Amazon Prime they give you the date your order will arrive if you purchase within a stipulated time period. Even when you do exactly that, your order may not arrive in the stipulated time period set by Amazon. Talking to customer service is truly a waste of time. I was asked which time zone I live in (Eastern) and was told that they are in Pacific time. I don't know what the significance is regarding the time zone, especially since they are 3 hours behind my time. Still, if the order shows that it will be received on a specific date, then I expect to receive the item on that date. This has happened multiple times. Amazon needs to stop advertising 2 day shipping if they cannot honor their commitment. It seems like they are getting sloppy in their customer service.

    I ordered two small items on Amazon on a Thursday, 8/24/17 and it was supposed to arrive between 8/29 and 9/3 to a local pick-up location. The order showed that my items were in stock and ready to be shipped after the 1st day. However, on 8/31 my order still showed "ready to ship" - 7 days after I place my original order. I called customer service and the first person said they couldn't tell me anything more about my order, why it still hasn't shipped or where it was. She was so irritating. I asked how I can make a complaint and she told me either online or on the phone. I asked to make it on the phone and she transferred me to someone else who was able to find out the details of where my order was and submit a ticket to get the package on its way (the package appeared to be stuck in one of the delivery locations - possibly forgotten).

    I've been noticing a lot of negative changes in Amazon - prices not as good as before; delivery not as good; and I feel like they are delaying their shipping when it's free without the Amazon Prime. I feel like they are intentionally delaying shipments to people who get free shipping without paying the Amazon Prime cost... which is a complete ripoff!

    I purchased a pair of sunglasses and didn't receive them. The seller delisted themselves a week after my purchase and provided a fraudulent shipping/tracking number. Amazon never confirmed the validity of the tracking number. 5 weeks later I didn't receive my sunglasses so I phoned in. Amazon told me they couldn't do anything and that I would have to wait 10 business days for a response. Pretty much Amazon doesn't confirm tracking/shipping details and nor do they care especially when a seller makes a run for it! Great shopping at Amazon!

    Amazon has become a tyrant when it comes to being a non prime member. You might as well face it, if you are not part of the prime club, you will be harassed left and right with various tactics and schemes. The most annoying is that they will hold onto your item until the 5 to 7 days have passed and then ship it in two days. Quite bizarre, and causing me to go to walmart.com and get things in just a few days and cheaper than Amazon. Almost anyone now ships faster than regular Amazon, non prime purchases.

    Updated 09/09/2017: I have submitted a negative review of Amazon if you are no longer on prime, but now have found an even more disturbing piece of information. When I call to straighten out a problem with an order, I no longer get an answer, but am told to try another method, that their call waits are too long. When I block my caller id, I go right through as I did before. Pretty dirty tactics if you ask me. What else will they do to us non prime members, or are they doing that we have yet to find out. I will never go prime again after finding out what bullies they are if you don't. Ps...there must be a way to edit a previous review and add on more or change things?

    Like many people, I have been a devoted Amazon Prime shopper for years. However, recently the quality of service has declined significantly. Amazon was my default option mainly because of the convenience, but when my orders don't arrive when they promise, or they are damaged when they finally do arrive, it's irritating and very inconvenient. There was a time when a damaged product was replaced, no questions asked. Now you have to repackage and reseal it, find a UPS drop off location and hope that they get it and refund your money.

    There are a growing number of alternatives to Amazon and I am aggressively seeking them out! For the more recent incident, I simply went to the manufacturer's website and ordered it directly. I'm finding that I don't really need Amazon after all and, based on the number of complaints I see below, I'm guessing a lot of other people are looking for other options as well.

I encourage everyone to do the same, the process is simple and only takes minutes. I have been using gift cards to obtain balance on Amazon. All the cards I have used are cash purchased and I have physical proof of ownership of the cards. I have the receipt used to purchase the card from a store Authorized by Amazon. I have the card itself. I have proof of payment that I paid for the cards. My account had been locked several times for no reason and every time this happens Amazon sends an apology and reinstate the account.

    My account is now closed with 2600 dollars of my money in it and Amazon says I used an invalid gift card. I spent hours over the phone with them, sent them dozens of emails, shared proof that my business is legit and they kept repeating the same message. I have asked them to provide proof of what they are sharing but they ignored me, as their claim is false. I have communicated with their legal representative but I was ignored as well. I am confident I did nothing wrong and Amazon has no right to do that. I know dozens of people who had fell for this scam and most of them are quiet.

At that time Amazon owe me $12,363 and I was doing drop shipping and never saw anyone's credit card or any other payment. Amazon sent me a email saying they were not going to pay me, because I was a fraud, I have no idea what they are talking about, I wouldn't know how to do that if I wanted to. There is someone calling me all the time and threatening me, the man name Luke wanted my address. When you sell like I was all you do is place order and use their product, you don't even know how much you make until you complete order, Amazon also sent me a email saying that they were taking $35 from my personal acc. because of a card issue, I am telling you I never saw anyone's credit card.

    Money is one thing but when people start threatening you over something you know nothing about, then that a different story. Amazon thinks because they are so big that they can do anything they want, they think they are above the law. They wouldn't try to help these customers they would put them off on me so they wouldn't have to refund. If you can would you please help me. If you need to know anything about me do a background check. I am a member at our local church and I am the treasurer there, and you can call our local sheriff, Mr. ** and ask him about me.

    I am a rescue provider for the kittens of feral cats in my community. I ordered an activity tree for the newest litter of kittens I am fostering. I ordered it right away and assumed I would get it quickly because it was listed as available and fulfilled by Amazon. I ordered this item on August 17th. I do not constantly check orders because I am kept busy by the feeding schedule of the kittens. When I had not received my delivery by the 25th of August, I went online to check the delivery status. The message read "preparing for shipping". The delivery date had changed to January 11, 2018. I was appalled. I called customer service which was obviously located in another country. These poor people have no options available to them. I was told to place the order again then cancel the original order. WHAT? I was definitely upset by that response.

    I went to the Amazon site and sent an email to customer service to express my displeasure. Within a short timeframe I received a message of regret with the same instructions. Replace the order and cancel the original. I was also given the option to rate my satisfaction. I gave them very low marks. This is not what I have experienced with my Prime membership in the past. The customer service rep has always done the troubleshooting and fixed my problem. I went online and canceled the order, of course I was advised it may be too late to cancel the order but did receive a confirmation of the cancellation.

    I then received another copy of the exact same customer service response I had gotten a few minutes earlier. I guess they were giving me the opportunity to reconsider my rating. I ignored it. I do not believe Amazon is getting a true picture of the frustration being caused by their inconsistent delivery dates and incorrect information on their product descriptions. There is no way to contact anyone with any ability to help which is the purpose of customer service. My prime membership is getting me nothing but more problems to follow-up on. My time is just as valuable to me as theirs is to them. I am canceling my Prime status.

I agreed because they said they would keep me up to date. They didn't keep me up to date I had to call them. After calling several times they finally sent a email with a tracking number. When I checked the status it said it was delivered at 9.07 pm the night before and left at my front door. I couldn't believe they didn't send the email till the next day and there was no way the post man came on my front porch at 9 o'clock at night and we didn't see him and there was no check to be found. I called Amazon and let them know there was no check. They said they would find out what happened and get back to me. They never called so I called them only to get told they were still checking it out and would call.

    Still again I had to keep calling them only to get the run around until now after 3 months there telling me the check was delivered and cashed. I told them they needed to find out where it was delivered and who cashed it because it wasn't me. It's like they made this whole story up and I'm supposed to believe it. No matter when you call you can never talk to anyone that is able to give you a professional answer. I know when I called them to let them know I didn't get the check they should have put a stop payment on it but now they say it was cashed I told them they need to get the information from it and find out how and who cashed it.

So let me get this right you charge me asap when I buy the item, then you mess it up and send me the wrong stuff, and you expect me to wait on my refund. Unreal, poor business practice. As soon as I get my refund I will be done with this company, I will delete my account and be done with them.

    I work at an apartment community in Dallas, Tx. We have several residents who order from Amazon on a daily basis, including myself. Typically the ordering process is easy and you get your packages quick. Since hiring independent contractors to deliver these packages, the overall laziness is quite shameful. We have parcel lockers that our residents pay for for a reason. They know their belongings are secured and they can pick them up at any time.

    However, when they come to deliver the 10plus packages into the office and we politely tell EVERY SINGLE NEW CARRIER that comes in (because there is not a system set in place with delivers apparently) where to deliver them as well as their code... there is either the carrier comes back after being gone for 10seconds to say it's too full or so and so is not in the lockers (I work here... I would know who is or who isn't) OR my personal favorite... we let them know where to go and the code and they walk to our open mailroom and drop all of the residents' packages on the ground.

    Packages that people spent quite of bit of money on and trust Amazon to deliver these things to them. There has got to be something that is done to correct this issue. It has come to be an everyday thing and it drives us to only tell everyone how awful Amazon is when it comes to the delivery portion. I'm sorry with how long this is, but I think that if you are going to hire someone to deliver things they should not just throw tons of packages in an open mailroom or come dressed in their PJ's to present a well known establishment. I am clearly not the only one having this issue as I see several reviews across the nation that are having these same problems.

Amazon delivery agents have strange looking private business vans and they do not call or knock on the door, they just leave the packages in the porch. I have lost 2 packages already! FedEx delivery is also doing the same for amazon packages - they just leave them in the porch and it is gone by the time we realize and get it. I have stayed at home specifically because I was expecting a package and there was no knock, no call, nothing. I have to keep checking my orders all day long and rush to get it from the porch before someone steals it!

    This is a real headache as a customer. I do not want so much stress because amz can't get their delivery right. I have called amazon and reported this issue and the rep said the issue will be reported to the respective team. But the next order was abandoned in the porch! Amazon doesn't seem to understand that cheap delivery means customers pay the price by losing their packages. I have decided to just stop using amazon.

In general the sellers are wonderful to deal with and as long as Amazon just does its normal routine function, it's wonderful too. The problem is when there is a problem. The first thing most people do, me included is go to the FAQs and try to find the answer. I don't seem to be able to find an answer to the majority of my questions, at the bottom it asks if you found what you read helpful, yes or no. If you select no, then you can write down why it wasn't helpful and submit it. Most sites would then take this information and help you.

    Amazon takes the information and tells you that they will NOT help you or get anyone to help you, they will just contemplate your information. Eventually you may stumble across where you can send an email, live chat, or phone for help, I have done all three. They lie. You don't get help, you get teenagers who were probably playing video games and you interrupted them. The last thing they want to do is help you! They will tell you and promise you ANYTHING just to get you off chat, phone, stop emailing! It will be weeks anyhow before you find out, they don't care.

    The best thing if you have a problem is if it is a problem with the product or something similar, something the seller can fix for you. 90% of the sellers are hungry, eager, new startups and they need your business. Bypass Amazon and deal directly with the sellers if possible. If it is an internal problem I have found calling to be the best option, always. The last time I had a problem I met the best customer service person ever! I have no clue what she was doing at Amazon. When they sent out their follow up survey about my service I let them know that this lady should be the trainer for every customer service person they had and she needed a huge raise.

It doesn't matter if it says to expect it next Wednesday, it can take however long they want as long as the product takes 2 days to ship from the time it has left their facility. So, if they take a month to hand it to their delivery team, then expect the product in one month and two days- that's what your prime membership buys you. Seems like false advertising to me.

    I created an account with ConsumerAffairs SOLELY to publicly state that Amazon has the ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I wrote this review on their website for a gift that was never delivered and it took all of 10 seconds for me to get an email back that, "Your review could not be posted." So I will just have to do it here! This item (Graco baby dream glider) was registered for as a gift on my sister's baby registry and my aunt received email confirmation that it was delivered back in July. Well, it wasn't. Never was.

    And now a month later, after countless phone calls to try and recover the lost item with people who cannot understand how to spell my name, zip code, and don't know how to transfer calls with people who CAN understand, (which means you have to just hang up and call back) and many emails with snotty service representatives who tell us to return the item (which cannot be returned because it was never received in the first place), our status is STILL UNRESOLVED from Amazon. This item was over $200 and my aunt is not wealthy, but they aren't refunding her yet. Amazon denies responsibility for the problem, writing off to "third party vendor".

    The third party is nonresponsive, we had to contact them via email (there's no phone #) and wait for 2 days before Amazon would take further action. So we did that, and THEN Amazon tells us we have to file a claim with them, which they now tell us will be 1 more week for the 3rd party to not respond AGAIN, and then 3 MORE WEEKS for Amazon to issue my aunt her refund!! This is UNREAL that a company this sleazy can have achieved the size it has today. They are just keeping people's money in way that is dishonest and deceitful when we the consumers did absolutely nothing wrong. Cut your losses and shop local with people who actually care about your experience. Life is too short for this stress and nonsense! Will NEVER shop with Amazon again if I can help it. And find every other online venue I can to state the same.

    I am a Community Manager at an apartment community and for the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks Amazon delivery person left our resident's packages outside our leasing office because they were too lazy to deliver them to their customer's door. One delivery person literally stated that he is not delivering in the rain and that these Amazon customers can come outside our leasing office and fight for the packages. Ever since Amazon started using people off the street to deliver their packages the delivery service is awful. They are dressed unprofessionally and act rude. Also to try and resolve this over the phone is impossible. I have been transferred 4 times and didn't get anywhere and was not taken seriously.

    Amazon is amazing. For me, it's the ultimate convenience in shopping. I don't have to leave the comfort of my home and they deliver the goods right to me. And you can track the product online so you know exactly what day to expect it. There are some items I wouldn't even know where to find in stores or which store to go to but I can look it up on Amazon and usually find it. My pet food is cheaper on Amazon than in PetSmart and I don't have to carry the product into the house because they deliver it right to me. And such a variety of products - they have more variety than the stores and each product has reviews about the product so you can get the details and the general feeling about the product from consumers. Those reviews really do help me determine which product to choose. Amazon is one of the most convenient things about modern shopping.

    I purchased an expensive router, with Amazon as the supplier, with free shipping. I live in Southern California, which is close to Amazon warehouses. Shipping Details: Thursday August 10, 2017 ordered item during night. Friday item not shipped - expected delivery date not shown. Saturday item not shipped. Tracking showed: Shipping date: Wednesday August 16. 'Expected' delivery date: August 17 to August 19. Item on hold from Friday August 11 to August 16. SIX DAYS ON HOLD!!!

    I investigated changing the order and delivery alternatives. When reordering, there was an option for the item to be delivered SAME DAY for $9.98. I reordered the item (at 11:30 am Saturday) and canceled the previous order. Item is now 'out for delivery' at 5:50 pm on Saturday. Obviously Amazon is deliberately holding orders to penalize customers for selecting free shipping, and encouraging customers to pay for 'expedited' shipping and/or encourage Amazon Prime.

    Deliberately holding orders to make customers wait, so that Amazon can increase profit is deceptive (as they do not explain this when ordering), bad customer service, unethical, and manipulative. Suggestion: Use Amazon affiliates when ordering products, if prices and terms are comparable. Alternately use a more ethical alternate supplier, that cares more about their customers. Do not get bullied into Amazon Prime for $10.99 /month or $99.00/year. Purchase the subscription service only if you actually want it.

Very slow shipping took 9 days to ship from 90 miles away. Amazon waited to the last day to ship and it was in stock. I guess you have to pay a $100 to get good service with prime account. But not from any other vender. The item was about the same price all over the web.

I should have been charged the used price of $90.02. The deceptive nature of Amazon has made me infuriated. Like they don't already make enough money. If this issue is not rectified I will initiate a chargeback through Chase for the full price and I will keep the book. Shame on you Amazon. But you didn't fool me.

    I buy chiefly used books thru Amazon. They always arrive in a timely manner, are in better condition than advertised, and are beautifully wrapped. It is so easy to order from them! The websites thoroughly delineate the book, providing reviews and other information that informs the purchase. Thank you Amazon!

    I can't say enough about Amazon. It has a two-day free shipping and everything is well packaged. The website is easy to navigate and if they don't have it, then it probably doesn't exist!

    Buying has been nothing but perfect. However, as a seller there is a lot to be desired. I've been scammed twice (refund with no return of merchandise) and customer support non-existent.

    Amazon is a great site. I belong to Prime and Kindle unlimited. The site is really easy to use and navigate. I buy from them at least a few times a month.

    Prime shipping is a joke - false advertising. Ordered an item that said next day delivery (order by this time and receive next day). Placed order on Wed and expected it Thurs... it didn't arrive. Checked tracking and it says will receive on Monday... not even Friday. I called to complain and the rep tries to tell me (that's the suggested time) not even the true delivery time. I explained that they are false advertising!! I told them they need to take those promised delivery windows and change it to (best suggested time). I even typed in the item in again and it shows - receive by NEXT DAY. That's B.S. If I wanted to get that kind of response I would have ordered from eBay. You should not be showing a delivery window time if you can't guarantee it. This is also the reason I canceled Prime. I think I will just go back to eBay... with NO FEES.

    I've been a frequent customer of Amazon over five years and have never had bad experience with purchasing, customer service or even returning products. The availability of products are well noted in description and very informative. Before making purchase, I always research product beforehand then upon preponderance of evidence such as; quality, material, durability and value then browse many websites on price. Usually, I find that certain rare products can be found only at Amazon, such as Odorono (deodorant stick), Panasonic KX series phone landline. All in all, the above mentioned areas are the reasons why I continue to make purchases from Amazon.

    Amazon provides excellent products, services and prices. They make it very easy to log in, locate the product(s) you're searching for, and quickly check-out. The customer is always kept aware of the tracking of each item as it ships, and usually it is delivered quicker than anticipated.
