    Whatever you do, don’t buy through 3rd party sellers on Amazon. I purchased a media center. The quality is horrible. I asked for a return label and was told that because the item was not damaged or arrived late, I had to pay $535 in return shipping. I appealed it through it through the Amazon A-Z program and they denied it. I filled out a detailed review to warn other customers and Amazon denied the review because my experience was not pertinent to other customers. The seller of the media center has a 68 score. I learned very expensive lessons. Amazon screens reviews and is not transparent about 3rd party merchandise. Don’t buy from 3rd parties on Amazon. They will not have your back if you are unhappy with the quality. The seller is BVIUNTWO. The unit was $600. Trust me when I say that I am glad to have their merchandise out of my house. It’s junk.

    One month ago, an issue came up with the skill to Sengled bulbs. I reported this issue to Amazon, I was told a case was created, and that someone would get back to me. Initially it was 24 to 48 hours, then it was next week. Then it was the week after that. In three days from now, this issue will have been ongoing for an entire month. I called today to speak to a supervisor there since this was going nowhere, and I was told that now Amazon has made the decision to no longer carry Sengled bulbs. What does that mean to us customers that bought them? On Amazon's recommendation!

    It means Amazon has screwed us royally. I bought the Sengled bulbs on Amazon's recommendation. Now, the 15 bulbs that I bought on Amazon's recommendation, are now worthless. They do not work at all, not even with the native app, and Amazon will take no responsibility whatsoever. The very least they could do if they're not going to replace the bulbs outright since it was their recommendation, is they could offer a discount to customers who bought them before in order to replace bulbs that are rendered useless now. But they will not acquiesce. They offer nothing we're all just screwed. That's Amazon. Thanks for nothing!

    I wanted to share an incident that I've had with Amazon.com since April 22nd. I had bought a Razor gold gift card for $350 from Amazon. On a 22nd that gift card never works. It would load to 95% and then fail. Talking to the razor company they say the gift card is used. Talking back with Amazon they say the gift card is still unused anyway the point is I was out my $350. I've told Amazon I purchased a card from their site and razor said since they are a third party seller. It's up to them to resolve the issue. Many opportunities for them to help me with this. I've called their customer service so many times. On three different occasions three different people had assured me that they processed a refund. Calling in and talking to an account representative they said well they can't do a refund because it wasn't a private label card of theirs but that they could provide me with an Amazon credit. That wasn't really what I was searching for.

    I'm a senior citizen on social security and this gift card was supposed to be for my granddaughter. Anyway after many attempts to work with Amazon on getting this resolved they never have resolved it and trying to deal with them and their system every time you get online and talk with customer service you're talking to somebody different and I have to explain the situation all over again so I finally went to the better Business bureau and complain about Amazon which state contacted Amazon. Amazon came back through them and offered an Amazon gift credit. I still haven't received anything from them. I called back into Amazon's customer service. They told me to email this bbb.amazon.com and escalate the issues. I've emailed them four different times. I have not received one response. So my issue is I'm still out $350. God this damn company has not refunded or giving me anything in replacement of that. So I'll be warned. Dealing with Amazon to resolve issues you might as well forget about it because they are not responsive whatever.

    Been using Amazon for years, Prime member. They used to be great but have since became the worst possible for customer service and delivery time. 3 times this month orders did not show up on expected date, in fact not shown up at all, no explanation from Amazon and lied every single time we talk to customer service. Today my package was suppose to be here between 4 am - 8 am, didn't show so we called at 10 am. C-Service assured us it was on route and will be there before lunch, again no show. So we call back, C-S gave us a 100% guarantee it was on route and would be no later than 5pm, even gave us a tracking number.

    Upon trying the tracking number, it showed "NOT FOUND." Guess what - no package at 5 pm. At 7 pm we called back, this time C-S said they can't find it and have no clue where or when it will be delivered and that we should just wait. W-T-F, 3rd time this month and the lies just add injury to insult. Canceled my order with difficulty and they will be losing the hundreds of dollars my family gives them every month, not sure if the employees understand we the customers keep them working.

What used to be an overnight delivery is now 3 to 5 days with daily lies about no access to the property or no one was home. When I need a pick up because the item is late, it can take up to three weeks. Amazon said I have no choice but to use dragonfly so I closed my account.

    I purchased a PC tower that claimed to support my GPU and cooler, but it didn’t—even though I double-checked the specs. After spending $75 to return it, I was hit with a 15% restocking fee. Amazon claims it’s “buyer’s remorse,” ignoring that the product listing was misleading. They never contacted me directly and sided with the seller (KART IT) without investigating. It feels like Amazon prioritizes protecting sellers over supporting honest customers. Very disappointed.

I appealed and it was denied.

When I asked HOW? since I never had any contact with the seller, directly or through Amazon, they said they do not know. I talked to many agents and 4 supervisors but was not fruitful.

    I just got off the phone with Amazon customer service. I was wondering what happened to my refund for my return of a security system. Amazon changed my long term choice of having my refunds back to my credit card, now they are sending it to an internal gift card balance, yeah Amazon! I have been in control of my accounts and don't like companies changing the choices on the account to benefit them and not the consumer without notification, of course! They did it last month! Now, everything that is returned is credited to Amazon's benefit, the gift card balance.

    I was also told that the gift card balance cannot be refunded to you and does not expire! So if you never purchase anything else on Amazon, you cannot get your money back. My advice, stop buying on Amazon, cancel you credit cards off your account! When the credit balance is used, that will be the end until there is a class-action suit against companies committing this hostage situation with our money! The department stores don't commit this act against us, why is Amazon allowed to do this? The online companies in China give you a refund for a verified return, but not Amazon! This is BS ConsumerAffairs!

    I recently had a very disappointing experience with Amazon’s customer service. Two items I ordered were delivered to the wrong address. When I contacted customer service to resolve the issue, I was transferred multiple times from one agent to another. Each time, I had to explain the entire situation again, which was exhausting.

    The agents were not friendly, and they kept putting me on hold for long periods without actually helping. In the end, even though I wanted a replacement, they insisted on a refund . Only one item was refunded. The other one wasn’t, because I canceled it myself (since I no longer needed it without the first item), but they still didn’t issue a refund.

    1-Star Review: Amazon is Running an Organized Scam - Criminal-Level Negligence. I'm writing this review from pure fury after MONTHS of Amazon's predatory business practices stealing from me. This isn't just bad service - this is what happens when a trillion-dollar corporation decides customer theft is part of its profit model. Here's their playbook:

    1. THE DELIVERY LIE: Ordered **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, Order # **, and Order # **. Kindle(s)/[other items] on [date] - PAID IN FULL $2,000 or more. Tracking shows "delivered" but NOTHING arrives. Customer service robots claim "proof of delivery" when THEIR OWN DRIVERS FAIL. One package arrived TAPED SHUT WITH NOTHING INSIDE - this isn't an accident, it's FRAUD.

    2. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CIRCUS: Spent 5 hours being transferred between reps who all read from the SAME WORTHLESS SCRIPT. One smug representative TOLD ME TO USE A LOCKER like that excuses their criminal negligence. Another actually BRAGGED about getting her packages while refusing to help me. Supervisors "unavailable" 5 TIMES when demanding escalation.

    3. THE CORPORATE SHUFFLE: Filed FTC complaint (Case # **). Bank disputes met with Amazon's BULLSHIT "evidence" of delivery. Their legal department SILENT when demanded refunds in writing.

    4. THE BIGGER PICTURE: They INTENTIONALLY hide shipping labels (won't say if box screams "STEAL ME"). Empty box deliveries HAPPEN TOO OFTEN to be accidents. SYSTEMIC REFUSAL to refund for undelivered items = THEFT. ZERO accountability from Bezos's empire of exploitation.

    WARNING TO CONSUMERS: Amazon has perfected the art of taking your money and providing NOTHING in return. Their business model now relies on:

    Taking orders they can't fulfill.

    Faking deliveries.

    Stonewalling refunds until you give up.

    Banking on regulators being too slow to stop them.

    I DEMAND:

    Full refunds for ALL missing items.

    Investigation into their delivery fraud.

    Criminal charges for systematic consumer theft.

    DO NOT GIVE THESE SCAM ARTISTS YOUR MONEY. Every dollar you spend with Amazon is a gamble where THEY CONTROL THE ODDS. I will be pursuing this through small claims court and media exposure until justice is served.

    I used to love Amazon.com, but I’m noticing in the last year and a half the policies for returns and other things especially when they have sent a defective product has gotten sooo bad. For example, they have sent me defective products way more than once and when I call about that item either it being damaged or missing a piece, etc. they expect me to drive it to a local UPS or any drop off and I don’t live very close to any of those and as a customer that pays a membership and is a member of Amazon the whole point of Amazon is to send products so I do not have to get in my vehicle and go to the store or go to a drop off.

    I understand if I purchased an item I didn’t like it and they asked me to go drop it off at a drop off center. That is absolutely reasonable but when you send a defective product and then ask the customer who’s paying a membership specifically for delivery, of which there is no such thing as prime delivery anymore because they don’t even deliver things within two days anymore, how is that right to send somebody a damaged product and then tell them to go and return it?!?! It used to be they told you to throw it away and they sent you a new one at no cost or they would have a UPS person come and pick it up but now they’re charging for UPS to come pick it up when it’s not even my fault that they sent me a damaged product to begin with.

    This is what I have a very hard time with when it comes to wanting to stay with Amazon. This is horrible customer service and as of now I will be purchasing my items from local stores and no longer from Amazon as much as possible and maybe get to the point where I never use Amazon again because this is absolutely wrong and on top of it when you call about these things, the customer service all they do is repeat themselves it’s no longer genuine. If I could give this a -5 stars, I would.

Why are they telling me that I have to wait until June 4, 2025, for them to release my refund???

    Amazon used to be a good company to order from. Over the last 18 months though, deliveries have been late, incomplete, damaged, open and wrong more often than not. I find the same products cheaper in other places a lot and they also have free shipping in most cases. The convenience and savings they used to offer just isn't there. My latest delivery wasn't even shipped until a day after it was supposed to arrive. It was a Prime delivery of 5 items made on a Tuesday and nothing shipped until Saturday. When I tried to cancel the order on Friday, they said I couldn't. These were parts I needed for my business, I had to drive far and pay extra to get replacements on time. Now I have to find time to return these and wait 3-5 days for a refund after they get it.

    Unresolved Complaints and Lack of Accountability. Review: I have been trying to resolve an issue with Amazon's customer service for weeks, but my concerns have been repeatedly ignored. Despite formal requests to escalate my case, I have only received copied and pasted responses from the same representative, Meagan, who claims my feedback has been passed to "appropriate teams." However, no evidence has been provided to support this claim, and no action has been taken.

    I have asked for proof of escalation and the names of those who allegedly received my feedback, but these requests have been dismissed. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable for a company of Amazon's stature. I am demanding immediate reassignment of my case to someone who can address my concerns effectively.

    Amazon Prime membership is no longer worth the money. In the beginning we had Prime Video and music included in the membership price. Now you have to buy movies and purchase a separate membership to listen to the music you want to. Shipping was two days from date of order. Now, not only are we having to wait a week, but if an item says it will be delivered by a certain date they often change the date of delivery after you have already paid for it. And that’s if you get the item delivered at all. We have often had to call for a refund because the items we order are never delivered. Other companies including Walmart do a lot better.

    Amazon is hoodwinking customers. First they have customers competing for their Vine program by writing overly positive reviews in hopes of being selected. You have sellers trying to remove negative reviews or buy positive ones. I found webpages detailing how to legally remove negative customer reviews and sites touting 'I can get you 5-star reviews for your products '. Then yesterday when looking at my reviews, I noticed that all critical reviews of a seller had been crossed out by Amazon. This amazed me as Amazon insisted they shipped the products and were solely responsible. Yet I have an invoice that clearly states that Amazon was not the shipper of products during this time period.

    It appears like Amazon wants to deceive customers. Potential customers need to be aware that Amazon allows sellers to remove negative customer reviews, accepts (and solicits great customer reviews through the incentives in Vine) and even alters shipper information in order to bear the brunt of customer outrage at shipping issues. I would be highly suspect of all product reviews on this site. I would also be hesitant to frequent Amazon.com because of these practices.

    Refunds are very slow. You order and the product is not satisfactory for whatever reason. To make a return couldn't be easier. Simply take it to Whole Foods and drop it off. Amazon processes the return and gives you credit on your account. However they want to issue you a gift card, not a true refund to your account. When you try to contact customer service you find there is no phone published on their site. Once you find a number to call online, you get an automated response which is totally not helpful. Constantly asking to "speak to an agent" will eventually get someone in India or Pakistan. They are only partially helpful until you inform them that you will refer the matter to your Visa provider. They then tell you 5 to 7 days for a refund to your card. After you have already waited two weeks for the return to be processed, this is intolerable. The system appears to want to make sure you can't spend your money outside of Amazon.

    If I could give Amazon zero stars I would. Over the past 12 months I've dealt with tons of 1,2,3 party sellers, some have been great, and some have been down right terrible, but the company I find that's the most terrible is Amazon themselves, it's not so much the sellers, as for Amazon as a company. First of all when I make order from Amazon they're usually large orders, so usually with large orders comes some sort of returns. I made an order for some clothing, sweats, some under garments for myself, and shoes and a handbag. First off, I returned the sneakers and wallet, and handbag all together, but they wanted my license, and wanted me to send a photo of it… Like I was a criminal, my family and friends who order from them regularly never in the years of ordering from them have ever been asked to send their license, but they have me twice.

    I was sent wrong clothing items, and told they were right, and when I reached out to the seller, they told me they have been having issues with the fulfilment center at amazon, and sent me the right sweat pants which were reverse weave Champion pants, and we all know those are pricey. The undergarments they sent me gave me chemical burns, I did reach out to the seller, and the seller want me to try them again, I reached out through chat, and they wanted photos of my chemical burns…. No!! They're in a private place, so I call. I got this nice girl who actually spoke English, and she said I had to return the soiled underwear to Amazon, she said it was ridiculous and felt bad for even asking me to have to do that.

    So here I am with no dignity sending back dirty underwear. For who knows to smell them. I swore to myself after that I’d never ever order again but what did I get for my birthday but an amazon gift card…. Yay! Not, so I ordered some coffee cups, Minecraft magnetic blocks that were $70, a hobo purse and wallet, and other items…. Yeah so the blocks had a coupon, I submitted my order after using the coupon. I pressed after the fact. It showed on my invoice, but did not take the $70 off my order. I talked to a agent, she seen the mistake unfortunately at the given point she could not refund me the 40% and to come back when I received the order and I'd get a 40% in my card, and she'd make a note so I wouldn’t be hassled…

    Well…. With all devastation when I got these, these blocks showed two kids about the age of 4 playing with these blocks that looked decent sized, no, these things came in with tons of tape from the other customer that had them, who was probably just as devastated as I was, and these blocks were the size of marbles came in the smallest box, they are straight up choking hazards, I also order Minecraft Crocs charms and was given 2 false tracking numbers one for UPS and one for USPS, and delay after delay and I went to them with this information and amazon would not refund me, so I talked to a agent Marcos who was so nice and kind, who promised to refund me and i told him about the blocks, he’s like, "We will refund you $76.79, just keep the items on us, there’s been so much of a inconvenience already, your refund should be issued soon…."

    Nothing, so I go back, and it's a straight up fight… I sent them screenshots of Marcos conversation, I was treated like a criminal. I told them about the agent and the coupon because they said I used it when I didn't, they overcharged my whole order by like $90 than what it should have been. I contacted the BBB, and the guy basically called me a idiot and Mohammed, I asked to speak to a. Higher up, he would not allow for me to, and I know they can because I have before. I went through my order and added up like 20 times and every time I get the same. So check your invoices.

    So tonight I went on to start a return for a purse and wallet. Totals $64.99 together. Well they won't let me print my label, they're saying it's a 3rd party seller and they can't give me a label, this is a small company. It's shipped from amazon. They want me to pay to go to a ups drop off point, $6 for each item, but they want me to drive 2 hours to a ups store where it's free. Ummm I live in a rural area, it's never ever been a issue before for me to print a free label and return it to the ups drop off center point, know they want $6.99 a item. I've bought and return items from CLUCI before and never had a issue with this company, this is straight up Amazon being spiteful.

    Some sellers I do recommend on Amazon are, melandsyd. They sell these beautiful Australian leather boots that are literally on the same level as Ugg, for such a affordable price, and I almost own there hold shoe line, absolutely love this company so much, also a company called Project Cloud. They're another footwear company, and they're so kind and nice, just like Mel and Syd. They're upcoming small business, you can find both of them on Instagram, project cloud you can purchase off instagram, Mel and Syd I don’t think you can order any place but Amazon, but they're great to deal with as sellers, and everything came in beautifully.

    There’s a brand called Trendyqueen, know the seller won't answer back, however the product is very nice and similar to comfort dupes. LQQ sells an amazing 20oz coffee mug set… So your small business sellers are the ones that are great to deal with. But Amazon as a company no…. Check your invoices, check your credit cards, I was duplicated charged…. You do get some good workers who do their jobs, but the communication is just terrible and those workers get overpowered by the ones who don’t like to do their job, they rush though, sit down and really look at those receipts add them up. Screenshot everything…. The only way I'll order from Amazon is for some of those small business.

    If I'm going to order a name brand I'll go directly to the site so I know it's a true licensed item, I've been sold so much counterfeit stuff too. So yep…. The ups guy came to my house one day and he told me they have a contract with Amazon, so it's free for them to drop off items and pick them up from customers and technically they're not suppose to be charging customers for pick ups, and I should see what they do to the elderly that can’t leave their homes, they get high charges for their items to get picked up, he said it makes him feel so bad, and he hates delivering for them and they're rude to the ups drivers.

    I can go on and on. I've had tons of other altercations with them…. But this year it’s like the straw that broke the camels back…. Really! For real you’re going to charge your customer for a label for them to drop it off at a registered ups drop off site. But you want me to take it to staples that doesn’t do it anymore for free and I told her they didn't, like 3 times explained Kohl's is going out of business too… Like I told this chick they don’t do it. We are rural. The nearest ups store is 2 hours away. Like make it make sense. Idk. All I know is I feel like I've been treated like a criminal, and I have lost dignity. And this is completely not bias, but the foreign people they have working there are rude and mean…. They need more English customer service reps.

Moments after their determination of what they think is convenient for themselves, packages are stolen.

    Over the past 2 years I have had every other delivery stolen within minutes of delivery. When I immediately contacted Amazon, they say to call back 2 days later to report the items stolen, just in case they miraculously reappear. Then you call back 2 days later and they ask you why you waited to call, suggest your neighbors or friends might have retrieved your package for you. After that is answered. They tell you, they will give you a refund. Sometimes they offered replacements. Why would a customer order a product or products if they only wanted their money to be held by Amazon for 12-14 business days before receiving a refund.

I haven't reported any missing packages however with my last order, I was sent an email days after placing my order indicating that I would need to give the driver a passcode in person, not through my security system or through text. This is not acceptable. I pulled up the tracking information and it stated the delivery time of 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM. I had duties at church so I arranged for coverage to be home for my delivery. Also, after dark, as an older single female, I don't want to be face to face with someone I don't know. Later, I checked the tracking again and it stated the delivery time of 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM. The driver arrived at 3:50 PM just as I was coming out of the shower.

    When I saw him on my security camera, he first placed a package from Zappos into my parcel box and went back to his truck labeled 'Hertz' so I thought, 'okay, this isn't my delivery from Amazon, wrong truck and not during the delivery window'. Then my phone rang, an unknown number, which like most people, I don't answer so coming right out of the shower, I went outside to retrieve my package. What a terrible experience! Amazon already has it's customers jumping though hoops for a return with all the questions or having to go to a locker somewhere to pick up items, now this!

    The email stated this was due to 'high value items in the order'. Really, the total order for all three (3) items wasn't quite a $150. Are you serious Amazon! If you don't trust your drivers, don't take it out on your customers.

It says on their site if the delivery person has trouble finding you they will call or text. Most often I get products held or not sent to me saying incorrect address when it IS NOT. This leaves things up in the air and no knowledge of when or if you will get your packages.

    There is a place to mark that the object never got to you and I have used it three times…. I have never gotten an am sorry, a contact by seller or anything so basically I am SOL and have to repurchase at my own expense. Amazon used to be better in all ways but has been becoming increasingly worse to the point I just don’t like ordering from them anymore.

    Finally received refund.

    Original Review: March 11, 2025

    One of my orders was canceled by Amazon at the shipping stage due to a price change (the seller increased the price). I contacted customer service to find out what happened, and an associate advised me to place a new order for the same item, assuring me that Amazon would cover the price difference.

    Moreover, they wrote in the chat: "You can be sure that we will refund the difference, as this chat is saved." So, I placed the new order for the same item. For three weeks, I tried to get the price difference refunded, but no one ever intended to return it. Customer support just kept dismissing me. I believe the whole scheme initially involved an element of deception and a bit of fraud.

    As a seller Amazon is scamming me out of my product. They approved a product for me to sell then when I sent a large amount of the product they restricted my product and told me I have to pay them triple what it cost me to send it to them, to get it back. They allow tens of thousands of this product to be sold daily but restricted me from selling the product after they allowed me to sell it in the past, sell out and then send them more. When I sold them in the past I only sent a small amount. They let me sell them. Now I send a large amount and they restrict them and won't send them back without me paying an outrageous fee.

    I frequently purchase from Amazon. Recently I have purchased canned food and on two occasions it was shipped in a paper bag. Not surprising that it arrived damaged. Multiple large dents in the cans. I didn't know if the damage occurred during shipping or previously. Most recently the canned goods came in a box with a pair of shoes, no additional packing material to secure the items. I find this very disappointing, and I have not found a place on the website to address packing/shipping problems.

    I have been a Prime customer for years, which just adds to the frustration. Lately, their delivery and subsequent updates have been lacking. Significantly lacking. I have received FOUR different "updates" regarding my latest order regarding the anticipated delivery date. Now, I get weather delays and understand that you can't help Mother Nature causing havoc; but, that does NOT excuse what I've experienced. I have has my delivery date changed twice only to discover that the package hasn't left the facility for the PAST WEEK. I can't get a refund because the item has "shipped" so it's not eligible for a refund either. Amazon uses chatbots instead of actual customer service assistance, so you have to resort to this to air your frustrations. So, I'm out the $, don't have my order, and regret not using Wal-Mart.com instead.

    Amazon was billing me monthly for five subscriptions that I was unaware of. When you purchase something like a movie to watch, you will be billed monthly after that. I was "rewarded" with two free audio books and I didn't keep reading where it informed me that I would be billed monthly for audio books starting next month. So the reality is I was rewarded anything for free from Amazon at all. It was only when I went to my subscriptions that I realized I was being billed for five other subscriptions that I was unaware of. Looking at my bank statements I assumed that the additional charges were purchases because I was buying something from Amazon fairly often. Getting rid of the con artists.

    Order by Lauren ** All Amazon knows how to do is take your money. They don't take accountability for their mistakes. And I want to put on blast the EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE by these Supervisors - Cassie, Daniella and Alex. Daniella and Alex both hung up on me on separate calls - all they kept saying was there was nothing that they could do. I placed a large order for $76 and my form of payment was a Visa gift card. The order went through. After a few days, I learned that the order went to a Saved Form of payment on my account which was an actual credit card (not the gift card that I used). This was my mom's credit card. No one contacted me about this change.

    This was my mom's credit card. When I called in initially and spoke to Cassie, she stated that she could not fix it by putting the order charge back onto my Visa gift card. But she did say that Amazon.com would issue a refund credit for the order without me returning any items. All 3 of the Supervisors could find no record of Amazon.com notifying me when they decided to charge another form of payment. They did say it should have been done. I expected the refund credit that Cassie spoke about in a timely manner. After 10 days with no refund on my mom's credit card, I called again and spoke to both Daniella and Alex (separate calls).

    They both hung up on me when all I was trying to do was have Amazon.com follow through on the refund credit or change the Form of payment. They were no help at all and frankly just rude. Cassie did not follow through with the credit and Daniella and Alex did nothing but say "Return the items for a refund". For some items I did not have the packaging anymore to return the items (I was expecting a refund credit as Cassie was handling). Daniella and Alex had no response to me saying I was missing packaging after all this time. Everyone out there, stop using Amazon.com and buy elsewhere. This is a terrible company to use.

Due to this, I am still unable to pay my bills because I only get the last 4 digits of my card on the app and the reps are no help with this. It's been delivered to several wrong houses. Then I have to call again to cancel it and a prompt asks for my card number when I don't even have a card on me in the first place. The only reason I'm still with chase bank is because of the Amazon rewards card. Otherwise, I'd get rid of this bank immediately. Lastly, the app needs major work on its breakdown and when purchases were made so it's clear to the customer. When the prices are listed of what purchases I made, the list never adds up to what is due. Makes no sense.

While product reviews are questionable (watch out for low review counts with high star averaged), I'm continually impressed with Amazon's performance (shopping, order, bill, ship, email updates), as well as their shipping partners' performance (UPS, FedEx). Pay attention to whether the product ships from an Amazon fulfillment center, or instead, remote 2nd party vendors -- delivery experience will be drastically different between these two, even for long time Prime members. But in all fairness, 2nd party vendors are often just using Amazon for product visibility for selling purposes.

    This is insane! What kind of company puts this into their terms and actually still allows you to do reviews? In my opinion; The kind that want to only have fake, unreliable, bad product on their market. That's who. So from here on out - I will be submitting formal reviews for Amazon, and the product they sell via BBB, Trust Pilot, ConsumerAffairs, and other such places as I do not feel this is right. I feel that this is unethical business practices to simply inflate 'good reviews' for products that are being misrepresented and falsely advertised.

    I'll admit; I've been doing too much business with this unethical company. I think this lazy behavior of mine has reached its limit. Amazon; You make things easy - yes, but not easy enough for me to let this go. It's time for me to make a change - and I urge others to do the same as well. If your employees will not even work for you and go on strike - why should I do business with you either?

    Have used Amazon for years and have had to return a number of items, specifically using the Kohl's drop off locations. Amazon on many occasions has sent me their threat email "you must return this item or you'll be charged" for items I returned weeks prior. Although calling and settling the issue was a major inconvenience since it's their fault they can't track and log returns I always had the potential charge disabled or in some cases reversed because they charged me anyway. Now it seems they are not only blatantly re-charging you for items you've already returned but they refuse to reverse the charge. They admit the item is delayed on their end and still tell you you will be charged....FOR ITEMS YOU NO LONGER HAVE. It's a despicable policy and to boot they hang up on you! I hope Amazon loses big on the lawsuit against them about this very issue.

    I bought a sweater on the website. It had a small hole it in upon arrival. I washed it once and it unraveled. When I asked for a refund, Amazon told me to contact the seller directly. The seller accepted the return but did not pay for postage for the return. It would have cost more than the sweater was originally to ship it back. When I asked Amazon for help with the issue, they told me nothing could be done. Don't use Amazon. They don't care.

Found out on 12/17 it was lost so I called for a refund but was told it's not lost just delayed and I can't be given a refund until Dec 24. Today lo and behold I go on to check status and it states the package is lost. Yesterday I took a picture of the status that said if I didnt get by today to call and they will help me get refund so I did that today after seeing it says lost. Call and now I am being told I have to wait until 12/30 for a refund even though they know it's lost and I won't be getting it!!! So all I've been put through is lies with this company and this is just the most recent time!

They can care less about the customer. I have an email from an agent saying they will refund me the items and yet I have had to call 4 different times and submit 2 incident report and I am still not refunded. There is now an incident report to be filed at every problem there is. So I return an item, I got the refund, 1 month later I get an item. I got charge again because they dont have the item. It was return at Kohl's and agent see that but they dont see it scanned at return at the return facility.

    Back in the days, they saw the item was sent back and they refunded, now they want the incident report. So I have to spend and waste my time for their employee mistake. But I have no access anymore to the tracking number of the package because it's been 2 months. It's been deliver and returned.... So since that info is missing they are refusing to refund me. Tracking info isnt relevant to this issue since I return the item at Kohl's, agent are rude and many just hang out saying nothing was wrong....

We ordered it a week ago and had delivery set for two days ago. We got a window of 3:30-5:30 so we got rid of our existing living room furniture. After it didn’t arrive by 6, we called and were told they, "You will receive it tomorrow." Not great but whatever. We called the next day again and were told no deliveries were made that day because of a mechanical issue. No word the rest of the night one way or the other so we called the next morning. We were told there was no driver and so no deliveries were made. If you’re keeping track at home, that’s three different excuses.

    We were told, "You’ll get it seven days later" now that they messed up! We talked to managers and regionals and they got it set for this morning between 7:30-9:30. Again, not ideal but sure. 10:00 came around and we finally got an email that said, “sorry, there was a delay and your item won’t be delivered today.” I called in again and was told it never got loaded on a truck And your order cancel, Amazon should be embarrassed.

    Back in late September 2024, I ordered a watercolor palette bundle for around $45 separately. These palettes were approximately $20 and $29 apiece. I received my order two days later, which was incomplete. There was only one palette in a plastic bag. It appeared to be a return sent to me instead of brand new that I ordered. I immediately called Amazon to let them know that one of the palettes was missing. The service rep. told me she was so sorry for the inconvenience and would re-issue the order as soon as possible and to go ahead and keep the smaller palette for the inconvenience. I didn’t think much because they had done that before. OK I’m thinking that’s cool. I received my new order a few days later and everything was good.

    Well here we are in December and I have a charge on my bank statement for $47.73. I called Amazon to see what the heck was going on and they said, "Oh you never returned the items so you’re now being charged." I said, "Wait a minute. The service rep told me to go ahead and keep the smaller item that was delivered and everything was good" then they said, "No you were supposed to return it" and I said, "How can I return something that was incomplete?" They said there was nothing they could do about it. I asked to speak to a supervisor who was rude and told me the return window was closed in late October so they were charging me full price.

    I asked them if they could charge me for the $19 palette that I received. They said no. How can they charge me almost $50 for half an order? They were using the return window loophole which I didn’t even know existed.. I called back to speak to someone else and they kept giving me the runaround: “Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do for you.” I was livid. I asked again asking how they could charge me almost $50 for a $19 palette. They said there was nothing they could do again because the return window had closed and I never returned it even though I was told to keep it or throw it away.

    I looked at the records and sure enough it said that I received the wrong item so I had to return what I had received and I told them it was not a wrong item. It was an incomplete order! Again, they didn’t want hear it. The first supervisor dismissed me. The second one said, "Sorry." Mind you I spend thousands of dollars on Amazon. I am so upset right now I’m going to dispute the charges with my bank on Monday. It’s the principle of the thing. I repeatedly told them I would pay for the $19 palette that I received, but they wouldn’t hear it. How can they do this? How can they charge me the full price if the original service rep told me to just go ahead and keep the small palette for the inconvenience and now three months later they’re charging me almost $50 for a $19 palette after I had already paid for it in the first place. So bottom line is they have charged me almost $100 in total.

    Did you know you can be locked out of your Amazon account? The computer decides if you have accessed your account too much, and the computer decides when you can have access again. At least that is what I was just told by a very curt, somewhat condescending member of the Account Change Team. I wonder if the computer realizes almost every time I access my account I buy something? And that just today Amazon has lost more than $300 through my attempts at shopping that the computer would not allow?

    And just think! This is what the world is welcoming—computers, AI—telling human beings what they can and can’t do with their hard earned monies. NEVER before have I heard such foolishness or had this experience with Amazon. I have been a regular customer since before the pandemic. In fact it was the pandemic that encouraged me to shop Amazon more. Guess it’s time to get back out, shop local, and find some better bargains. And the rating of 2** is only because in my day of disaster with Amazon I met several nice folks in customer service who do their best to make this foul company look good.

Which then lead to the IDIOTS once again deciding there was unauthorized use on my Amazon account never once involving me in the beyond stupidity that further evolved from these total imbeciles forgetting that humans can actually be in contact with the other human that owns the account to verify that yes it is them using their own Amazon account. Which then after dealing with incompetent idiots who obviously have forgotten how to communicate I'm now being charged for items that they never even shipped. Why would that be, you may ask??

    Well, because unlike any other account I've ever dealt with they choose to outright lie to the account holder & make order information, including tracking numbers invisible to even Amazon customer service. The lie is when they tell you the tracking numbers were canceled. News flash you imbeciles. It doesn't take someone with half a brain to know that packages do not get delivered if tracking numbers are not on them. So obviously what did get shipped has tracking numbers. Then it falls on me to weed through all this incompetent pile of garbage they've created to contact my bank to figure out via screenshots from original order emails, what's shipped, & been delivered. How much Amazon charged me over that for items they never even shipped.

They were restored briefly then when I complained about this breach of security they wouldn't admit to the malfeasance and again deleted all of my reviews and blocked me from Reviewing. They even admitted and said they didn't want my business.

    Why should people buy on Amazon? Knowing not only is their personal information at risk but also their own content they posted to help others was systematically deleted in retaliation to a complaint?

When I asked to speak to her superior, the person who was helping me in customer service aggressively made it clear to me that her superior was not going to go over her, nor suggest anything different to me and that I did not need to speak to him, and immediately began to use an excessively aggressive tone of voice.

I have tried and tried that, and also tried and tried to explain it to the barely speaking English customer service employee, it CANNOT HAPPEN, Because, as explained to her over and over again, it keeps sending the verification code to my OLD NUMBER, and thus I CANNOT create a new account (EVER!).

    I again and again explain this to her and she states that I can just use my new number, NO I CANNOT, because it just keeps stating that I have a number already attached to that email, and thus, thus, thus, it sends the code to the, that's right, THE OLD NUMBER. And yet NO ONE at Amazon has the smarts to just open a computer screen and delete the old number and replace it (That is when you take something out and put something new it its place), with my new number. THEY CANNOT DO IT!!

    Paid good extra money for next day delivery. Amazon said it was coming on time. Late in the day I called to inquire about order, I was told it was sitting on the line in the distribution center, not moving, and unknown when I would get it. This morning, another day later, still not shipped, no delivery time listed on a next day delivery. I should have checked elsewhere first for my item, eBay, Walmart, Direct from a seller, maybe even Temu. This is a part for a heating system, starting to get some cold nights here in the northeast.

    My issue with Amazon all comes down to their delivery system. I've had mostly every order that I've place arrive after the promised delivery date. I didn't contact them on every order, but when I would reach out it would take over an hour to get connected to some that tried to help or say anything other than "I understand, and I'm sorry for your inconvenience." My review would be hire but I've hand the money to a neighbor and a family member who have order from Amazon for me with no delivery issues. I'm not sure why a delivery next door works but to my house always gets delayed. It's for this reason that I personally cringe when I hear the company's name.

Amazon claims the item was not delivered and charged my credit card twice... The tracking number confirms the return was delivered and signed for at the return center. I never received a refund, talked to (8) Amazon representatives with no success... They claim return center never received the item...and still no refund. Do not trust any Amazon representative..

    Credit card scam: Amazon recently sent me an unsolicited "Amazon Store Card." I did not request this or approve it being issued. Amazon then assigned debits to this card without my permission or knowledge. Instead of refunding returns to the original payment methods, Amazon issued a "gift card" credit. This means I am now charged to an account with a Bank I've never heard from for orders placed and charged to other accounts. This bank, SYNCHRONY BANK, charges 29.99% interest. I have to notify them in writing to cancel this account. In the meantime, Amazon can play fast and lose with any refunds owned to me. Fraud and bait and switch tactics.

We live in an apartment complex with call boxes to the apartment for them to call the customers to buzz them in. Certain drivers are being lazy and leaving packages by the call boxes.

    I recently bought a digital camera from Amazon. First, the ad was not clear that it was used. It said 'Old Model' but gave me the impression that it was still new, just an older model. The item ended up getting lost in the mail through no fault of mine and Amazon did eventually refund my purchase price although the refund was $0.29 short of the original purchase price charged to my credit card. This small amount may seem insignificant but if you multiply it by millions of users it amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars that Amazon is simply stealing from people.

When we went on Amazon it said packages delivered. No, only 4 were delivered. that wasn't even one complete order! BEWARE!

    The beginning of July 2024 I had placed an ordered of a pack of 4 denture cleaner. I received only 1 of the 4. I reached out to Amazon customer service, they said they would send the remaining 3. I received the 2nd shipment and again there was only 1. I paid $95.00 plus $5.17 tax for a pack of 4. I called Amazon customer service again and the gentleman told me there was an issue with the way the vendor had the item listed on Amazon's website so they would not be able to help with the missing 2 bottles. He explained to me the only resolution would be, I would need to return both shipments (2 bottles) in a box with the UPS call tag he emailed me.

    I confirmed and asked him if I was to place both bottles inside one box and using Amazon's provided UPS call tag he had emailed me. He said yes and after Amazon received the returns they would issue a refund. I wait until August 17th before I called Amazon Customer service again. This time I spoke with a gal who ended up telling me there was nothing she could do for me and informed me she was going to hang up. She hung up. I called back, asked for their so call "Elevated refund" assistance and spoke with a guy name Jon. I asked Jon if hanging up on customers is the way Amazon instructs their customer service people. He said no.

    Jon said I would receive my refund of $100.17 within 5 to 7 business days. To date I still have not been refunded for items I returned, Amazon received 7/25/24. Amazon's customer service is terrible. The fact that I paid for a product, received only half then at Amazon's customer service direct I returned exactly per their instructions, and I am still out the $100.17. Back in the day false advertisement used to be against the law. Issues between Amazon and their Vendors really shouldn't be an issue for the customer. As a business Amazon should be more customer friendly, have exceptional customer service and resolve issues the way they should be resolved. Not make their customers pay for a product they don't have.

    Lesson learned, Sometimes businesses just get too big they fail to care about their consumers. I could try to call them again, but their system and website really isn't user friendly in a situation like mine. Who knows which customer service agent you will get? I personally have better things to do than to sit on a phone, pushing the correct # then waiting for someone to answer, tell them the details of my issue and then potentially risk being hung up on again and definitely passing me onto some other Amazon customer service agent who will lie anyway. Kudos to Amazon. They certainly know just how to make money.

Then on July 4, 2024 on my suspended account that is on hold, tell me why amazon took it upon theirself to charge me $14.99 for amazon prime, and for the previous month of June as well, when I never signed up for amazon prime. Now for the month of August they keep trying to charge my card $14.99 and I have to decline.

When I asked her to connect to the superior she gave a reply which was not easy to believe. She said no superior available and she cannot connect my call. Again when I asked why is she so rude she simply said, "As the customer is not having any further concerns. I am going to disconnect the call." This is what she said thrice and straight away she disconnected my call. if you guys are delivering good products no one has free time to request for return or refund.

    I had to get on the phone with customer service for an hour just to get Amazon.com to let me use a single $10 gift certificate to buy one thing. I proved my identity to two different reps multiple times in multiple ways. The order completed, I cut up the gift card and put it in the trash. The next day I got an email from Amazon that due to "suspicious activity" on my Amazon account, they had canceled my order and disabled my password to log on to Amazon.com, and I'd have to call customer service again to change my password. I am done with Amazon.com forever.

    It's getting to the point with Amazon.com that going to them to purchase anything is now my 3rd or 4th option, if at all an option. Their customer service is by far the worse in existence, one notch above companies that simply have no customer service. Amazon does not offer the customer and confident buying experience. It is now 100% all about Amazon, self serving. Late deliveries are common. Poor product quality is common. Prime delivery is inaccurate. Lost deliveries is still common. The price of prime is equating out to just paying for delivery as their other features such as music and video lack a positive experience (I rarely use prime video any longer). I am one poor ordering experience away from canceling my Prime membership (after having it for over 10yrs!). And when I talk with people about this company, everyone is feeling the same.

    You buy an item which is presented by Amazon as refundable within 30 days. You return the item and the Amazon vendor charge me 97% re-stocking fee?? It's a SCAM. Shame on you Amazon!!! And when you send a complaint, you get the run-around ... You have to call here and robot answer. Have to send email to a different address??! We do not deal with this??!

    The ACP (Amazon Community Police) oversee product reviews. I received many warnings my review was unacceptable - but with no explanation - then all past reviews are deleted!! So why bother giving reviews?? I purchased 2 boxes of overpriced hangers at $31 a box. The box contained a coupon for "free" hanger dividers. Having trouble using the coupon, I requested help from the seller.

    Amazon accused me of violating the "RULES" asking for FREE merchandise. The Harvard Wokesters at Amazon did not fully read or comprehend my request. It's a coupon!!!! I received on free hanger divider for one box but seller would not send the second "free" item. For $180 a year, who needs this CRAPPOLA?!?! I would rather support Sam's, Costco or Walmart. By the way, the Hangers are $13 at Sam's and $15 at Costco. Amazon is too overpriced and not worth the "convenience." There once was a Woolworth. There once was a K-Mart. There once was a A.............Z.

    Why does Amazon get away with treating customers the way they do. Another day another package not delivered. Call they just tell you to wait longer. This happens so frequently now I have to tell someone I can't do what I promised because of them.

    Amazon used to be extremely dependable. They seem to be slacking now and the downside is getting hold of a real person is next to impossible. The last order the driver driver left the package in the middle of my driveway easily visible with another 10 feet. It could've been hidden on my front porch. I did the combined packages for one box thinking it would be easier for them further delaying the order but that was fine. Tracking said the package was out for delivery since this morning it would be there by 10 PM. 9:30 PM I'm checking and it says, "Your package is still coming today."

    10:15 PM I finally get a hold of somebody at Amazon and was told that my package may or may not be delivered and tomorrow is a holiday so if it's not it. Won't be here tomorrow either. What kind of answer is that? I don't want it sitting out in the middle of my driveway again when I'm not home. I press the agent and she finally sent a text to the driver and they had no intention of delivering it tonight and will not be here until Friday!! I've been with Amazon a long time and as their prices continue to go up the quality of service goes down.

    Amazon is beginning to fall downhill. They are selling bad parts on their site. You have to get insurance with EVERYTHING you buy. Cause customer service is HORRIBLE. If you buy something from their site and the product is no good. They will do nothing to fix the situation. They will tell you to file a complaint with the Attorney General. Tread lightly with them. I would never recommend Amazon to anyone. Shopping on Amazon is like a gamble now.

    Amazon's customer service has gone from bad to worse. Not only do you speak to outsourced customer service representatives now, but even when you speak to someone internally, they seem to contradict what their peers tell them, but do not resolve the issue. As a Prime member, I used to take pride in paying extra for their service. Now, I'd rather shop on Temu or Shein. While their products are normally of lesser quality, I have not had any issues returning items or getting a refund from them. No fuss. No muss.

    Far too many vendors have learned how to use Amazon to scam customers. It can take hours of correspondence and many weeks to resolve issues that should have never happened. Amazon has become too much of a problem to use because of the unreliability of its vendors and the drastic decline of customer service.

    I am a long time member of Amazon and I have been continuously been let down by their deliver service lately. I used to see "deliver tomorrow" and think, "that's awesome". Now I think, do I need to spend $35 in approved purchases and even after that I end up on the phone with Amazon arguing why I can't cancel my order that hasn't shipped and is three days late. Amazon service department solution is for me to wait for the item, then drive to a USP store and return, it when they don't expect it for five more days.

    Amazon has the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my 50 years on this earth. They constantly lie and give false information and when they are not doing that they either end your chat without helping or they are rude. I constantly have "delayed" orders that never show, as I do currently. I do not know how they allow their customer service to be so horrible!!

    Third party seller sent me a defective product and ghosted me. Amazon customer service did NOTHING and yet the seller is actively listing more items on the Amazon website. I am headed to my bank this morning to have the charges to my check card reversed. The word FRAUD must not be used in Mumbai as the Amazon customer service employees just don't want to understand.

    Will someone please do something about Amazon.com? What they are doing is not right and I don't see how it can even be legal. But everyone seems to be scared of the monster. They have stolen several thousand dollars from us. They say we were involved in illegal activity so they're keeping thousands that we legitimately earned selling legitimate products, and they know it. But they claim that we were selling drugs. They have zero proof, and indeed can't have any proof because the accusation is completely false. Any reasonable intelligent person who spent two minutes researching the product Amazon says is a drug would conclude beyond a doubt that it is not a drug.

    Please do something to help me get my money. Losing Amazon sales was 75% of my income, then them stealing thousands on top of that is salt in the wound for sure. This is an extreme hardship on my family, especially since the allegations are false and are apparently based on guesses on Amazon's part. Amazon has enough money, they really don't need to steal more! I am far from the only one. I see hundreds of stories like this, involving millions of dollars and merchandise (they also steal anything you have stored there if you're unlucky enough to have trusted them with your livelihood).

    I realize that everyone is either scared of Amazon or has been bought by Amazon (like the senator who squashed the bill trying to reign Amazon in a little). But someday someone needs to step up and start the fight against this supremely arrogant monster. I, for one, and not going to rest until justice is done and Amazon is forced to pay out all the money they are stealing on a daily basis.

    BOYCOTT AMAZON! 1) Disburse our money immediately with a 100% penalty for their false accusations. 2) Disburse to everyone from which they've stolen money and/or merchandise those funds and/or product with a 100% penalty for their false accusations. 3) Disburse to me $800,000 for the next five years of lost revenue. They really should disburse twice this amount as well.
