Amazon has good prices, many shipping options, and many many products. You can buy almost anything you need on Amazon and shipping for some items are free if you spent a certain amount. Shipping is too expensive and is typically only free when you spent $25 or more. This means if you are buying a small item for $10 or less you can pay half or more of the value of the item for shipping, which is ridiculous. But I've ordered from Amazon, many times for several years now. The overall experience is good but sometimes prices are high, shipping is too high or shipping is slow depending on the seller.

They have a wide selection of products to choose from and with many suppliers for the same item you can get the best pricing all in one place and shipping is easy and the prices is fair especially if you bundle your items into 1 box. But I would like free shipping. Also, some of the products are always on backorder but most of the items can ship together or you can choose to ship each alone but you'll pay more in shipping costs. But overall, It was great and the price were fantastic. It's always easy to find what you want to purchase. The website is easy to negotiate and the reviews are very helpful.

Order ID: **. So I had purchased Men's Cotton Track Pants (Pack Of 2). ORDER NO # Order Date: 6 May. Promised refund date: 2 June. Courier: INDIAN POST, Tracking #: **. Last update is on 8 May that product delivery was unsuccessful, now I am waiting from 6 May (Order date) till today 20th May, no product refund. So when I contacted via call they said to wait for 2 days, "we will give you a callback." No call. No refund. Then I contacted them again today and they just told me to wait for 2 weeks, so in total I have to wait for 1 month and 2 days (2 June) for my refund.

Amazon.com seems to have just about everything you could think of, including a great price. I recently found a pad that you put into the shoe that practically eliminates flat feet. My son suffers with it and amazon.com had them, at a price better than anyone else. Also, they ship quickly and I have never had any problems with them. I recommend them to everyone I know.

If Amazon does not have what you are looking for, you might as well forget it. They have everything! I have been shopping at Amazon for years and would never leave them. The only thing I do not like is the prices. I purchased a 12 pack of picture frames for $29 and later found the same set on eBay for $18 with free shipping. They are overpriced on some things. But if you have a problem or if something is damaged in shipping they will make it right by resending the item or giving you your money back. Their customer service is great. The person you are talking to is never in a rush, and most of the time in the US. I love Amazon.

I love the high volume of reviews, on EVERY and any item people have submitted personal reviews & explained the pros and the cons. Which is extremely helpful to decide on buys or not. I believe that a big appeal to attract more repeat customers is to offer free shipping to all buyers & perhaps buyers can earn free shipping as credits by using the site doing easy tasks. Overall Amazon is pretty good, however, I just wish the shipping fees were waived or rewarded at least after each 2 purchases/orders. The site makes millions in clicks, they can spew free shipping! I was satisfied but might use eBay next time.

I like that you can buy Amazon products from many sellers, which helps me get the product for cheaper. It also has a large variety of products and I really like Amazon Prime because I can get free 2-day shipping on products sold by Amazon. The only thing I dislike is that sometimes the Amazon website is hard to navigate. It feels kind of cluttered, and when I search for products, there is so much information that I feel overwhelmed sometimes. Also, some of the products' shipping charges are not clear, so I don't know how much I pay for shipping until checking out. But my overall experience is positive. I have never needed to contact customer service, and I like that the purchasing process is straightforward and accepts multiple payment options, but I would like it to accept PayPal.

I have always had positive experiences with Amazon. I've purchased several times during the year. Even during their peak season at Christmas, most items were in stock and arrived within a reasonable amount of time. I like the wide variety of items that can be found on Amazon. They also have great prices and free shipping if enough is spent. I especially like the reviews of the products. I find myself going to Amazon sometimes just to read reviews and not to shop. Their reviews are extremely helpful and have stopped me from making a mistake purchase a time or two. But I really wish the Prime memberships weren't so expensive. I would love it if they went to a method where you receive the membership for free by spending a certain amount of money each quarter of the year or something similar to that. It should be more of a reward rather than a service that you have to pay for.

I like that it is discounted for students and that they offer free shipping as well as the fact that you can order from third party sellers. They now also offer the ability to buy groceries and small household items through Amazon Fresh and Amazon Pantry which is very convenient especially in my busy schedule. The return policy isn't that great though. For some items, you can get free returns but other items it is hard to return the item and usually you don't get your money's worth. But I like it overall. They have a wide variety of products to choose from, offer free shipping which usually arrives at my house in 2 days, so it's fast and reliable with amazing deals during the holidays.

I like Amazon prime 2 day shipping, prime movies and tv shows, great selection of items for good prices available. All in one place to shop, plus you have the special offers for different sales during the year. The deal buttons are very nice to have too and the coupons they have available for use are also nice. I also like the warehouse deals. However, not everything actually shows up in that 2 day shipping time. Many times it takes 4 days to a week to show up. That gets kind of annoying at times. A few times items were lost and had to be reordered. That takes too long when you have to reorder and causes different types of issues to deal with. Plus its hard to get to the chat area to talk to someone about the issues. You have to navigate through the web site to find the chat option.

I like many things about Amazon. First off Amazon Prime. I like the fact I can get free shipping and on top of that I get the free services that it also provides. And the selection is amazing. I can get whatever I want and in as little as two days. The payment plans are quite good as well. But I wish they would accept PayPal as a payment. I have PayPal and at times it would be very neat to just pay with that instead of my credit and or debit card. Everything on the site is basically flawless, so I have no other complaints. They always seem to have items in stock no matter what you are looking for. I don't know about some of the more rare items, but I have not had a problem looking for an item. The checkout process is real easy and they remember more than one location, so that helps. I have never needed their customer service and that is a good thing.

Amazon.com's website is easy to navigate. Their processing of payments is simple and they offer many different shipping speeds so if you need your item quickly you can get it I believe as fast as one day. They also have an excellent return policy. Customer service is good but needs improvement. It's not so easy to get in contact with Customer Service without waiting for quite some time. But Amazon's product selection and prices are excellent, not so with the "Marketplace Sellers". The Marketplace Sellers do have items available that Amazon doesn't carry but some of the prices are ridiculously high.

Let me first start out by stating that I absolutely love Amazon and in my many years of being a customer, I have found them absolutely amazing with customer support. There are bound to be issues with the massive operation that they have, and I have seemed to encounter one. They decided to close Soap.com in April of 2017 and absorb them into their main site. I happened to have a bunch of gift cards from 2011 that I did not use yet (some used, some not), and they were purchased using an email address that was no longer valid since I switched ISPs in 2013. The gift cards were supposed to be converted to Amazon.com gift cards, however since the Legacy email didn't match my Amazon account that did not happen. The FAQ states to email or call Soap.com customer service, and so begins my journey.
I've emailed and called a total of 10 times so far, with only two of those communications resulting in the supervisors that I requested to speak to finding those gift cards and calculating the remaining balance I had left. The end result was to tell me to contact tax-escheatment@amazon.com and have them assist me with getting the balance. I contacted them over two weeks ago, with 2 follow ups and absolutely no response was given. Further emails were sent to Soap.com and Amazon customer service, but nobody seems to be able to assist. I just contact Soap.com yet again, and requested a supervisor and they took down my information again, and saw that I contacted customer support previously and found the gift cards, but then he told me they couldn't help me because they were purchased in 2011 and that's why I was given that Amazon email address.
After explaining that I am not getting any responses at all, he said that he would follow up and get back to me in 48 hours. I also asked him why it mattered that I bought the gift cards in 2011, and he looked it up and said that only gift cards purchased after 2015 were moved to Amazon, which contradicts what their FAQ states, and also doesn't make sense as they don't expire. He looked further and stated that my funds should be sent to the unclaimed funds pool for my state, but I had looked at that site in the last two weeks coincidentally, and there is nothing related to that. I cannot believe this runaround that I am getting. I am not going to state that this overall means I don't like Amazon, I will always be a loyal customer of them, however this really is a terrible way to treat a loyal customer that is simply trying to get exactly what was promised by Amazon when they absorbed Soap.com!

I love Amazon, just not the delivery services! About 85% of the time, I don't even get my packages. I live in an apartment, and when Amazon deliver my packages they ALWAYS leave it outside the apartment complex or in the mail room. I don't know why they ALWAYS do that! It pisses me off because the apartment office is only 1 buzz away, but that seems to be too much work. When I get notification that my package is delivered in a certain spot, I know it won't be there when I get home. We have about 100 apartment rooms where I live, so there's always people going in and out. During Christmas was bad, my neighbor brought one package up to me and said he found it sitting outside. There were about 4 packages that I did not receive. I hate having to contact Amazon to either refund me or replacing the item.

I have had a very positive experience purchasing from Amazon.com. I like the fact that with one website or app I can search and buy a vast majority of products. I have bought everything from clothes to furniture and books and DVDs. I also like that there are verified reviews from people who have purchased the products you are interested in so you can better make a decision about the quality and price before buying. I also like that you can buy used and second hand things from other Amazon users and that the sellers have ratings so you can be better aware of who is a reliable seller before you commit to a purchase. I have purchased items directly from the Amazon warehouse. It's easy to use their website and I never have a problem finding exactly what I'm searching for.
But even though I like the fact Amazon has a marketplace in which you can buy products from private sellers, I wish Amazon would better vet the sellers so you know you are not being scammed. Recently I purchased something from a seller that never delivered my package. Turns out that this "seller" was running a scam offering a product at a low price and takes your money and then you never receive your item. Instead you only get a message stating that it will be shipped soon. I dislike that Amazon.com has a plethora of these seller scams. I contacted Amazon customer service and they immediately responded and within days the matter was resolved and I was returned my money. The customer service team has always been extremely helpful and prompt in answering any concerns or inquiries I have in a very timely matter.

There has never been a problem getting the order correct either. Amazon is my go to shopping place. I feel like it saves me tons of money and time since I don't have to get in my car and drive. I go to the website first before heading out to the mall.
The only thing I dislike are the second party sellers. I often buy a book used or a product by a second party and at times the item has been misrepresented on quality.

There's never any discrepancy if the product is fulfilled by Amazon. However, I wish the vetting process to become a seller were more difficult. There are unfortunately a lot of scammers out there. The process to get your money back through a claim can be a pain as well. It seems to take forever and a day. Moreover, the customer service can be hit and miss sometimes, mostly miss when you're trying to get money back because of a scammer incident.

I have read other reviews and complaints about Amazon and they are having a big problem about the sellers in China. Most folks are NOT receiving their items same as me.
It seems that now Amazon is not being able to be contacted anymore... You cannot call up and speak to a real live person anymore like you could say a year ago about item problems. Amazon is now just like the site iOffer where you can pay for an item and never receive it and have no recourse to get a refund or get your money back!!!

Apparently the Chinese have figured out that they can take your money and send your item to someone of their choosing here in the USA and claim that the item was delivered!!!

Although they have expanded their product base over the years, I usually shop there for books. They are the best for finding any book on the internet and they have connections with book stores all over the globe. If I were to try and find something wrong with Amazon it would be that they have become so busy and interconnecting between their apps is difficult. You have to log in with each application even though the user ID and password work. It would be better if you had links between the different venues of Amazon.

Our family shops on Amazon on at least a monthly basis and almost all of our purchases on Amazon have gone very smoothly. My wife has begun purchasing there more frequently and making more significant buys. Product selection continues to get better. Delivery has been more timely and dependable. The customer service has always been good but it's exceptional now as the United States postal service even delivers to us on Sunday. We ordered a Green Bay Packers jersey for our son's birthday. We thought it was going to arrive late, but it came to our doorstep Sunday morning! The multiple outlets in 1 spot is very nice. The fact that you can price check and compare similar items in a quick and efficient manner is a big deal as our family is VERY busy. Not having to click to several other sites is huge. I feel comfortable that I'm not overpaying because any ripoff stands out like a sore thumb.
On the other hand, there are more major concerns when I use them. We trust that we are getting a good deal. It's impossible to absolutely prevent buying a "lemon." We had an issue in the past with a seller being less than honest and ethical and we didn't have much success getting refunded. This is the main problem with Amazon or any online provider in my opinion. Shipping time estimates are also misleading sometimes. We seem to get our Amazon purchases quicker when it comes from USPS than other delivery services. It is possible this is a mere coincidence. Other than those issues, we've had very good experiences with Amazon.

Amazon is the site I go to first when I want to purchase something. Shipping is fast and I've always received excellent quality products. I love shopping on Amazon and have preceded them to others. My experience with them has never been negative and I have also referred them to all of my friends and relatives. They have all said that they go to Amazon whenever they are wanting to buy something. They have never had a bad experience either. They, like myself. have also written positive reviews on their site for the products that are purchased and about the sellers. Customer Service is always been excellent in my experience and the sellers answer any questions that you might have. They've most of the time, sent a letter inside your package thanking you for your package.

Amazon is a fun place to shop. I can find anything and everything. Bought so much from them. I’ve bought a bed, two mattresses, stickers, computers, Funko Pop figurines, and my kids have bought books and jewelry. Fast and quick service. They’re also descriptive about what they sell. When I got my laptop, I wasn’t sure which one to get, so I asked questions and I got great answers from people to help with my choice. So, when I purchased it, I got it the very next day. I was so surprised and shocked. That is great business. However, I was supposed to get a peace sign charm and it never came from China but I did get credited for it.

I've been using Amazon.com for years now. I like that I can find pretty much anything I need all in one place. I can get clothes, shoes, pet supplies, cosmetics, even food all in one place and from the comfort of my own home and I have purchased tons of stuff from them. Of course there have been some items that I purchased that didn't turn out to be what I wanted, but Amazon.com has always worked with me to fix any problems I've ever encountered. They offer returns if an item isn't what I wanted and they offer great customer service. I've always had a very positive and wonderful experience with Amazon.com.

I always check with Amazon for the things that I need. They often have slightly lower prices for the same products elsewhere. The purchasing process in simple and their customer service quickly replaced an item that arrived broken. I love their Prime membership and its benefits. For less than one hundred dollars per year, I receive free shipping, special pricing on many of their products, access to stream movies and much more. Their customer service is great in helping get your order right if something is wrong.

My experiences with them have been positive, and they seem to run like a well-oiled machine. When the worst thing you can say about online retailer is that you don't like waiting three or four days to get a product, they are doing something right. While there have been mistakes, those things happen. No company is ever going to get things one hundred percent right. Even when there have been mistakes in orders, they have been resolved to my satisfaction. I like their shipping rates, particularly the free shipping options and product selection is very extensive. Also, the ability to choose among multiple sellers allows for some excellent deal shopping and selection. I've been able to find stuff that is difficult to find, and at reasonable prices (especially considering the items' relative rarity).

Given what they've done so far, I can not see how they won't keep going.

Until November, I praised Amazon to everyone. In November, I had suspicions that my account had been hacked. I raised concerns many times. I was basically ignored. I had accounts opened and closed without my permission. I went to the Forums and discovered that I was not the only one. Sellers now have a dedicated attorney to handle all the recent problems at Amazon. People have lost tens and hundred of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, I did not do Fulfillment by Amazon. I and Amazon conducted an investigation into my hacking. Both my security and Amazon determined that the hack DID NOT OCCUR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I will leave you to make your own conclusions about that. I have since listed my items with another company since I no longer trusted Amazon as a Seller. Then the bottom dropped out as a Buyer two days ago.
I rented a movie. How simple. The movie was on my phone but not on my BluRay. I called support. In the space of a minute on the phone with "service," my entire account disappeared before my eyes. It took hours to get the items that I had purchased to reappear in my account. Then somehow my Seller account information and my buyer account information were completely switched and I couldn't get into either account. I was told that this was because I had multiple accounts so a "representative" decided to solve the problem by deleting my current buyer account and all of its information. In the past two days, I have spent 15 HOURS on the phone with customer service and it still has not really been fixed and no one can say how any of this has occurred.
The two most common excuses at Amazon for their poor customer service and account issues are (1) blame the customer and (2) a "glitch." In the past 6 months, I have heard the word "glitch" so many times that I never want to hear it in any form from anyone ever again. I have 5 Kindles and have been a loyal customer since 1998 but I have finally had it. NO MORE. I will pay more to get services elsewhere. What happened to this company? I guess they are spending their money and energy on drones instead of customer service (which, by the way, is down again).

Amazon has a great variety and have excellent electronics They are also very user friendly with their tablet computers. The company is overall a very understanding and is very different from other corporate companies that I have done business with in the past. I would rate them as one of the best companies in the business for computer electronics. They also are a leader in their industry at everything from sales to customer service. I don't see why anyone would like to shop at any other company as I feel that they are the best at what they do for the average consumer.
One thing that I don't like about Amazon is the price of their prime membership. Their prime membership is very costly and it always seems to come due at Christmas time when people don't have a lot of money to spend. The other thing is that sometimes you get people on the phone that don't speak very good English and are hard to understand. I used to say that they had the best customer service because they didn't outsource any of their customer service. That seems to have changed as of late and I have been getting people that don't seem to understand English very well and based on this assumption I have found that they have given me erroneous advice in the past and have not comprehended the existing problem that I was asking help for. This is something that they should rectify in a very timely manner as this would cause a lot of frustration on the part of the consumer.

Excellent experience in every way. I have always received my products and at very decent prices.

I like the diversity of products in one place, competitive prices, consumer reviews of products, and fast shipping. I usually find what I'm looking for and don't encounter out of stock products. The products are as described on the site. Also, if I wish to send a gift to someone that may consist of two or three items, I can usually find all those items on this one site. If I have a problem with something I receive, their customer service is helpful.
However, it can seem overwhelming to find something there. There are a lot of products to go through even when I use search filters. Also, although Amazon prices are competitive, I can frequently find a cheaper price elsewhere if I look. And I don't like the fact that you have to join Amazon Prime in order to get free shipping. That annual fee always feels to me like I'm paying to shop with them. And now, Walmart's is directly competing with them by providing free shipping so that makes Amazon Prime even less appealing.

Someone used my email and Amazon account to order a small item with a gift card. I didn't order anything and wanted to know whom and how they got into my account.

I feel it was done by my disgruntled doctor (believe it or not) as I was forced to make a complaint against her negligence (I'm really not a complainer, it has to be really bad, and it was, as I feel this hacking was). It was the exact same time frame and she's the only one with my personal info.
I told them who I thought it was as I did my own detective work and discovered ties between the doctor and addressee. I think they talked their way out of it or bribed out of it, because all of a sudden they said there was no record of it. I saved the emails that said my order was on its way and sent that to them. They ended up closing my account and saying I used an insufficient gift card or some BS and that person goes unpunished. I'm just thankful I didn't have a credit card on file or I would have been ripped off. Please be careful with that site!!

I am writing this review because I cannot believe how totally unable Amazon are to do joined up thinking, to actually read and take in the information given to them and ability to follow through on a complaint, I think other people need to know Amazon are not perfect and when it counts totally let you down. WARNING ABOUT AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE - EVEN PRIME MEMBER AND PRIME ITEM. I WANT TO SCREAM!!! I waited in a caravan, on my own, on a very quiet site in the Welsh hills for a prime item deliver of a mattress from Amazon (placed on the 14th of April) until yesterday, when I had to come home. I suffer from muscular skeletal problems and also some times mental fog making life very difficult for me. I was in pain from having no comfortable sleeping place (hence the need for the mattress) and have appointments in the week this week, some I even had to remake after waiting there so long.
Those who know me know this was not easy for me. I told Amazon this, I have explained through numerous emails the why's and were for's of this. Today I got an email today saying they were going to deliver on Tuesday! After fires, forgetting to replace the order, recalling the delivery when it was out with the courier (no one knows why or how this was done!) and I had waited in all day, not even taking the dogs up the field or the rubbish to the bin in case I missed them - and once again I had to call them and ask why the delivery had been cancelled - they told me a lie and said the courier couldn't find the site - when someone at Amazon had cancelled it! Even my 78 year old Mom and a sat nav find it, and then being told it was out of stock, after five days of checking if it had been dispatched days of waiting, and only when I asked about it.
There were four orders, three can still be seem on my account details, which means no one would know there had ever even been a problem because the information, emails and contacts would relate to a totally different order. No joined up thinking and no ability to expedite this in any way, until now, when it is impossible and they were told this. Both Ian, my partner, and I have spent many hours doing emails, making calls and trying to sort this out, they knew I would not be there this week as I told them repeatedly I had to leave on Saturday and could not return for some time - and now they do this on me. It feels like spite and the want for me to cancel at the old lower price (now over 80 pounds more). What the hell is the point of communicating with these people when they take absolutely no notice and make it as hard as they can?
Non of the delays or problems have been caused by us, until now, and they knew I was leaving on Saturday and would not be able to get back. Looking on various sites it seems Amazon are useless if they give bad service. I wonder if the fact the price has gone up by 80 quid and the constant questions of "Do you want to cancel" have anything to do with all this. My advice is NEVER order anything big or expensive from Amazon. They may be great at small items and very convenient but what they have managed to achieve in customer service in this case beggars belief. It's like some track or route every individual follows where nothing gets tied together and no one can step off the track to change prevent the crash, only mess it up, spout platitudes and in essence, unless you get to the point where you contact the CEO's office - then when they pull their finger out they still manage to ignore all your information and cause even more problems.
They were told well before booking this delivery I could not be there so why on earth send it when you have been informed no one will be there after four weeks of waiting there in get discomfort? Hang just checked the item on Amazon the price has been reduced once again but not to the same price I ordered at. Seems prices are a yo yo game too. I can't add to verify my buy because they have raised the latest order on an Amazon gift card and not a record of my payment, as I said, there have been multiple orders raised for just this one item, every time they have a problem they wipe the history by raising a new order - madness.
I use Amazon because I have problems getting out, up until now they have never had a problem. The mark of a good company can be seen in how they deal with problems and from this experience they seem totally incapable of joined up thinking when dealing with a problem. I feel so let down and ignored - I have given truthful and complete information and been met with a wall of indifference, protocol, non follow up and even it seems deliberate actions designed to increase the problem not resolve it.

The first occurred when I ordered an item and received a totally unrelated item instead. That was irritating with having to ship it back and wait for credit to my account. But, today, I received an HP printer from them (a fairly pricey one). It would not print wirelessly or with the USB cord. 3 hours on the phone with HP tech support and still no printing. Of course, I ordered the instant ink card with it and used it during the setup which the prompts tell you to do. Now, I am out the price of the card and they are charging me for shipping it back, so I am paying for something that was defective and losing the card.
I called customer service (after spending 15 minutes searching the web for a phone number) and both the rep and supervisor I spoke with (after 30 minutes on hold) spoke English as a second language. The only response from the so called supervisor was "he would report my complaint". I have been a Prime member and spent a substantial amount of money with them and I expected better. I told them as soon as my credit is posted, "I will be deleting my account, cancelling my Prime subscription, and cancelling my auto delivery subscription." That didn't even get them to care at all.

The most likely cause for this AMAZON display of their attitude is that Amazon is never the cause of a problem and that it's up to the customer to invest much time to seek a remedy when it is Amazon's fault in the first place: Apparently one of the two books was not in Amazon's stock and Amazon sat on the order awaiting the 2nd book BUT it was Amazon that initiated the USPS tracking number and thereby let the customer waste time trying to track an order that never left the Amazon site!

I ordered a product directly from Amazon (sold by Amazon). A few days later the price dropped by $20 prior to me receiving it yet. I asked if they could honor that new price and they advised, "With the exception of TVs, we don't offer post-purchase adjustments." They continued, "I realize this is frustrating; however we aren't able to offer any additional insight or action on this matter and any further inquiries regarding this issue won't receive a response. We appreciate your understanding."
This response was due to the fact that I had requested my inquiry be escalated. They suggested that I could pay shipping to return the product once it arrived, then re-order at the lower price. This would of course cost me to ship back and probably cost them to ship the same product once again, since it comes with "free shipping". This policy makes no sense especially when the customer hasn't even yet received the product. Amazon's customer service response and general policy is not at all customer-oriented.

3 months ago, I tried to become a seller on Amazon. However I should have had a credit card, which was not clear in the terms and conditions. So I used my debit. So after I finalized my registration I got an error that I need to change my debit card to credit card. Since I couldn't I wanted to cancel the process but before everything I instantly was charged with 39.99 USD. Since then I contacted Amazon more than 2 dozen times by phone, every time they keep me on the phone to explain everything all over again, and then each agent gives me different explanations. Although they provided a case ID, it seems that there is no updates written on their side on the case so the agent knows what is the case about.
Since I didn't have a credit card the only way for them to make a refund was to terminate the account from their side. So now I can't do anything with that account but the emails I get constantly ask me to provide info through my account, which I don't have the access to!!! E-mails are auto-generated with no possibility to reply back. Even when I asked for an email to contact an actual person after 3 weeks. When I finally got a reply it seemed auto-generated again.

Then they said they attempted to deliver it the next day (Sunday) but sent me a notification that my "mailbox was full". The delivery was paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper and was never going to be placed in my mailbox so I don't know why they would say my mailbox was full. I called Amazon and they said they would have it sent out for delivery the next day (Monday). I requested it to be delivered to my door.
It arrived on Monday... But was left downstairs at the apartment complex office. Boxes are usually delivered to my door but every once in a while they don't make it upstairs... And it's always Amazon. I live in an apartment complex and things are hard to drag upstairs for me so I order from Amazon and pay for shipping (and a Prime account) so I don't have to drag large stuff upstairs. Today I had another delivery and went downstairs to get it (this one was small and not a big deal) and I saw about 12 Amazon boxes just left in the mail room. The girls from the main office at my apartment said Amazon will leave stuff in there because sometimes it's not worth the fight to tell them to take it all up to the customers' doors. Not acceptable. So many places ship items so I'll be looking into other options.

If possible, I would give Amazon, 0 stars. I ordered 3 red women's skirts from Amazon, all of which are too small. There was no packing receipt included with information on how to return or exchange the items-no paperwork for my order. I called Amazon customer service and provided the woman with my name, address (billing and shipping), my phone number, credit card information, expiration date & security code, as well as the UPS tracking number on the package. All of this wasn't enough. My current email address did not match whatever email they had attached to my name. I gave them my two current emails but neither one matched. I explained that it must be an old email that I no longer use and I don't recall what that is. I also explained that I didn't even log into an account when I placed the order and I didn't print out the order information (which I should have) when I placed the order. Not acceptable.
So, I asked to speak to a manager. The manager was extremely rude and also refused to help me return my items unless I could guess what email address they had attached to my name. I could not. Amazon was able to locate my order based on the UPS tracking number on the package that I was holding in my hand and my credit card information but because I couldn't "guess the right email", they would not allow me to return my items. I think this is one of THE most unfair business practices in existence. If I'm holding the package in my hand with the items I ordered and providing all of my credit card information, how does an old email that I never even signed in with prevent me from returning my items? I feel as if Amazon treated me like a criminal. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau.

This appears to have been a miscommunication and has been resolved.

In March 2017 I ordered 2 Honda EU2000i generators from Amazon. Their website pushes you to join Amazon Prime, which I did, and to get you to purchase and use an "Amazon" credit card, they frequently offer no interest promotional periods. I accepted their "Amazon Card", which turned out to be a Chase Visa, a couple of years ago but have rarely used it since the interest rate is 19.9%. However, since they said I would get 12 months no interest if I charged it on my "Amazon Card" I decided to do so. When the statement arrived, there was no mention of the grace period for interest. I emailed Chase and received an email response telling me the no interest promotional rate was handled by Synchrony. This made no sense because it was a Chase card, but I called them just the same. I got the response I expected, they had no idea why Chase would refer me to them since I did not have their card.
I then called Chase and they were confused, they do not offer a no interest period for Amazon.com purchases. They told me to call Amazon's customer service, which I did. As soon as I explained the situation, the person on the other end seemed confused and his responses made no sense. I requested to speak with someone else and he said he was transferring me to the US customer service department. A lady answered and I went through the explanation again. At this point, she tried to transfer me to Chase! I explained I had just gotten off the phone with them and they referred me to Amazon. She put me on hold at that point.
About 15 minutes later she finally returned. She told me their marketing and promotions department does not have a customer contact phone number. She was filling out a form to advise them on the situation and they would contact me within 1 business day. She read the information she was submitting, and she had it wrong. She finally got, more or less, the information correct and we ended the call.
This morning I received an email from Amazon customer service requesting the promotional claim code for the product I was purchasing. There was never a promo code, it was a message about a no interest period if I used the card. I replied to the email explaining this, yet again. They responded telling me "Since the Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card is issued by Chase Card Services, their Customer Service department is in the best position to help you." Again, this isn't a problem with the card, it's the Amazon website that made the offer. So, beware dealing with them on things such as this. No one that I have communicated this to has even made 1/2 an effort to understand what bothers me about this. As of today, I am canceling my Prime account, I will pay the Chase card in full, and I will close that account as well.

I recently ordered an item from Amazon, where Amazon is the seller. The item was to be delivered in two days as a Prime ordered. The order has been in "preparing to ship" status for 5 days now. This item is listed as "in stock." Customer Service cannot provide a reason why the item hasn't shipped, they cannot provide a possible shipping date, and because the item is preparing to ship, they cannot cancel the order as requested. I have cancelled my Prime Membership auto-renew and will not renew it when it expires in July 2017. I will not purchase from Amazon in the future. Absolutely no customer service at Amazon. Buyer beware.

Always had great luck with Amazon purchases and shipping until my most recent 2 orders. On 4/22/17, I placed an order for 2 Otterboxes sold by "Amazon LLC", both listed as "In Stock" and came with free shipping. Today is 4/27 and neither item have been shipped! Called Amazon and was basically told that because I was too cheap to pay for upgraded shipping, that they ship the "free shipping" items last. Well... thank you very much! Something has changed... and not for the good. This will be my last order through Amazon.

A hacker gained access to our account and Amazon shut our account down yet couldn't seem to log out all devices in our account which in turn let the hacker gain access a second time! They shut it down again, erasing all of our gift cards and refusing to refund them! I spoke with 5 different people there that would give me 5 different answers! Nobody would help me! Finally the account was back up and running for not even a week when they emailed me telling me I hadn't returned an item from 5 months ago and recharged me for that item even though I have tracking and a return receipt for the item!

Well yesterday I went ahead and decided to get Prime with Amazon then I went online and decided to order something. I need it desperately not realizing the Prime videos have nothing to do with the membership because at that time I seen that was a shipping fee so I proceeded to call this morning. I was talking to a lovely young lady. She indicated to me the video that I ordered through Prime has nothing to do with the membership. The video is $10.07 a month that is if you paid monthly which comes out to $120.84, $21.84 more. They want you to pay the $99 upfront for a year if you choose the monthly then they charge you the extra money. Personally I think that's stupid. They don't want you to have control of your money. If you are out they still charge you for the month and if you are to opt and paid $99 they'll reimburse you whatever money the month you opt of videos within the cycle.
Okay then I called and said Prime Membership. She said $13 a month which is $156 free shipping and videos. Free shipping, I'm paying $56 towards half of my shipping. I guess that's okay if you want to waste your money and it to use Amazon constantly. Their prices are outrageous. I compare them so what are they really giving you? Not much of anything. As a matter of fact the polls have indicated that they're losing business. I wonder why they do not did anyone deals and anything. Don't try to return some it takes forever because he's outside selling people who join them will give you a hard time.
I waited weeks for the money to return back in my account and then they try to bargain with you, "Won't be able to apply it to your next purchase." Why the hell would I do that now. I'm wasted more money. I may not purchase anything for 6 months. They need to straighten out that mess. Cause they going to have a lot of people moving out on them as far as buying anything or joining Prime video or Prime Membership.

I am a long time Amazon Prime member. I agree with others who have posted here that the service has deteriorated over the past 1-2 years. I would consider myself a "heavy buyer". As of late, I almost never get an order within the 2 day period they advertise. Orders routinely arrive 4-7 days after completion of the on-line transaction. Many other sites now include 2 day shipping and prices are often less than Amazon. Regrettably, I will be canceling my membership. What was once a great membership is no longer worth the $99 annual fee.
Did I mention I posted a critical review of their shipping service on Amazon and it was removed? That's censorship. Yes, a Prime membership does offer other services; video streaming, Kindle book borrowing, prime music, etc., but they are not of interest to me. We have Netflix and Spotify and other services which cover those services must less expensively. I have children who routinely need items FAST (outgrew soccer cleats, last minute play costume items, birthday presents for friends). If they can't meet the need for speed, I'm out!

Similar experience as with other reviewers. I ordered item from Amazon.com and cancelled it same day (even before it was shipped). I also contacted Amazon to ensure I would not have to pay. They told me it was guaranteed from their policy that I wouldn't have to pay. They still sent item. I contacted them again to pick up and they told me I wouldn't have to pay for shipping. Not only was I charged for item, I was also not reimbursed for item in full (they made me pay for shipping even though multiple reps told me I wouldn't have to). Contacted them every week for several weeks and was told I would be credited for the $110.00 in shipping. They didn't credit me. They also tried to give me an Amazon credit which I refused, because there was no reason for them not to return my money. The merchant, Build.com was who the product was shipped from. Both of them are crooks! I will NEVER order from either company again!!!

I recently received a format letter from Amazon that I had abused a customer on a discussion board. I contacted the customer service department to make sure that they had the right person. Many people on their board post their comments under "Amazon Customer." None of my posts were deleted, and more than one person posted a comment. One customer, however, made eight comments about my review of a novel. All of his/her comments kept saying the same thing. This book is plagiarized and that no one should read it. The book, To the Sky Kingdom, in its original format was written in Chinese; I would not know whether it was plagiarized or not because I do not read Chinese.
Amazon asked for customer feedback as to how they handled the situation, and I gave them a negative rating along with an explanation as to why I gave them that rating. Since then, I have received three letters from Amazon's Customer Service department telling me that my post(s) is "spiteful." Again, none of the posts that I wrote about the novel has been deleted by Amazon.
I finally sent them a copy of the entire transcript and explained to them that more than one person posted a comment, and I told them which two comments I made. They have refused to acknowledge that they mishandled the situation. A simple "we made a mistake" would have sufficed. I think that their conduct is reprehensible. Customers like me keep their employees working and their investors happy with big dividends. I cannot recommend this company to anyone, and I do not intend to do business with them again.

When you push the return button screen, it will take you to the page that says return which is auto selected by the computer and underneath that there are two options given where to refund your money. The first one is already auto selected by the system with fade orange color that is called Amazon Gift. If you do not notice that, your refund will go the Amazon Gift. Thus, unless you buy an another item, there is no way to get your money back since they are going to blame you that you made the selection and they can't do anything about that.
I have been a prime member of Amazon for years now and buying many things on Amazon. Mostly do not return. However, I had to return several items at this time. I was not careful enough to see that choice made for me by Amazon already before I click return button. Now I can't get my money back unless I buy items on Amazon.

Amazon used to be a great company. Sometimes you would get your order within two days, free shipping. Apparently they realized that nobody would pay for their "two day shipping program" if they continued to provide excellent shipping service. So if you pick "free shipping" then check your order everyday and it will say "preparing order." Now that preparation takes a full seven days. Once it is shipped regular, it usually takes anywhere from 2-5 days to get to you. I have gotten some things a full two weeks after paying for the order. So Amazon has lost a lot of my business to Wal-Mart (free 2 day shipping), and any other online sellers that seem reputable. You order something from a random seller, and they put it out for shipping ASAP, so you do not have to wait one week as an Amazon Penalty for not buying into their shipping club.

I ordered some moving boxes on 3/31/17. I placed an IDENTICAL order a few days later. The second order arrived as scheduled. The tracking number on the first order showed that the package label was printed, including the package weight, but for some reason, the package never reached UPS. I requested a replacement package as soon as their website would allow. Now they claim the moving boxes were not in stock, and that the manufacturer didn't provide any details on when or if they'll be back in stock. It makes ZERO sense that my second order, placed a few days later, WAS in stock, but my first order supposedly was NOT. The package HAD to exist at some point, because they printed a shipping label for it, including the package weight, which they would not have known if the package didn't exist.
They gave me the choice of waiting an indefinite amount of time to see IF the boxes came back into stock or a refund. I got a REALLY good deal on these boxes, which I need quickly, as I will be moving soon. Obviously, I need the boxes more than I need the refund, but apparently Amazon couldn't make the great effort of picking up the phone and calling the manufacturer so they could give me an approximate delivery time. A week? A month? Six months? Who knows? They refused to answer my very simple question and stopped communicating with me completely, leaving me no feasible choice but to file for a refund. I hope the refund arrives without further issues.
I will not be renewing my Prime membership when it expires, nor will I order from them again in the future. I am disabled, without transportation, and cannot go scrounging around for used boxes. Yes, other companies sell boxes, but their price is double or triple the price of the boxes I tried to buy off Amazon. As you can imagine, this has left me in a terrible bind. Amazon, you have lost a customer who, over the years, has spent literally THOUSANDS of dollars.

The Amazon Warehouse sent me a used version of a camera lens which was described as "Like New" but what I received was a lens someone cross threaded a filter on and then tried to sell to someone else and it obviously was not inspected by Amazon before it was shipped. One would think it would be safer to order a used item fulfilled by the Amazon warehouse, but that is obviously a false assumption. Once I realized what had happened, I figured no worries because Amazon has an excellent return policy. Well after Amazon has received the item and has had it for 4 days, I was just informed the refund could take 2 weeks by customer service despite their written 7 day policy on the Amazon Website.
The whole conversation I just had over chat support with their entry level support representative and "support leader" once it was escalated was deplorable. They provided written evidence where they said despite the written online policy of 7 days, to not contact them until it's been more than 14 days before I was refunded.

Any brick and mortar store would be facing lawsuits if they treated their customers like this. Pictures of the item taken fresh out of the shipping package is below.

By this time my frustration was growing so I contacted an Amazon representative to speak with via a chat session. I spoke with Tushar who recommended that I order again from a different vendor and he would expedite the shipping for me. So on April 4th I ordered the machine for the third time from seller "Christina3373." This time Amazon was offering me an additional warranty for the sewing machine. The price was good so I accepted it. Two hours later I received an email that my order for the sewing machine was cancelled. Reason for cancellation? Technical problem, the email said. However, the warranty for the product that I could not get was shipped out to me!
I was beginning to get very angry at this point because something did not seem right about all of this. I again contacted an Amazon representative via a chat session to complain. This time I spoke with Shweta. This person assured me that I would receive the sewing machine this time and to please re-order. So I ordered a fourth time from seller "My3Kids." Shweta said that she contacted this seller and that they indeed had some sewing machines available to send one to me! Two days later I received an email saying that the order had been cancelled. Reason for cancellation? Technical problem.
I sent messages to a couple or so of these sellers too, and not even one of them ever responded to my messages. Either these vendors do not actually have the product to sell, or they have them but decided they did not want to sell them for the low prices they posted. All of these machines were advertised as NEW CONDITION, not used and not refurbished! Either way appears to be fraudulent to me.

I ordered and received 12 cans of Cento Tomatoes. 11 of them were dented at either the top or bottom seam or both. USDA website says safety of food inside such cans has been compromised and should not be consumed. They were double boxed. Outer box was flawless, inner box showed signs of wear and tear, but no sign that could explain how the cans got dented. My first attempted review was 1-star because almost all cans were dented. Amazon rejected it but said to try again after reading their guidelines. So I read and could not find anything which said one could not comment on product defects, but altered my second attempt by giving the product 2-stars (It was more important to me to let fellow Amazon shoppers know the cans were seriously dented than to quibble over "stars".) It too was rejected. They said I had reviewed the seller, not the product, Reviews of the seller are to be posted in a different spot and they gave me the URL.
Despite the fact the seller could never have known of the problem without opening the factory sealed box, I looked at the URL. It would not allow me to post feedback of this particular seller, presumably because the seller was Amazon itself. No problem, I would never expect a seller to open a factory sealed box. This one happened to be glued together at the flaps, no less. I would be alarmed if I received such a box with the glued flaps not intact. So I opened a chat window. The person at the other end said the matter would be directed to "Communities". Communities wrote me that my review was about the seller, sticking with the original boilerplate.
Basically I really like Amazon. But as the old proverb goes: "When you see one termite you can be sure there a plenty more where it came from." In any case, this is one case in which they absolutely stonewalled it with an objection that simply does not make sense. The product, not the seller, was defective. They did not want that comment to see the light of day. Shame on them. But understand my 1-star is about the way they are manipulating "feedback", not the company as a whole. It is a good company, assuming practices such as this do not become overwhelming.

I brought a used book from Amazon, for $18, and found out the total cost $60, so cancelled the used book order, within the hr, and got email confirmation, and also, cancelled online. Zoverstocks do not answer customers emails UNTIL they say... 'a couple of days', but, DO ship the product and send you an email within 12 hrs! (I would have liked a confirmation of cancellation instead!) - I buy books online, first time ever, I've been charged $40 for post/hand charges! for overseas, for a small book. It is 2017 not 1720, an electronic age, Zoverstocks obviously, do not reply to cancellations, HOWEVER they DO send you an email, for telling you the used book is shipped - when they totally ignore your email for cancellation (remember, order was cancelled, within the hour, after ordering the book, which is acceptable).
So, how can they not keep up to date and reply within a normal reasonable time to a cancellation, BUT, can reply to you and tell you the product is shipped? Is this illegal? I mean, to take money out of your account, when they have been emailed an hour of purchase, that the product is cancelled? And send you an email 12 hrs later saying the book is shipped to you. The used book, was noted as 'processing' when I cancelled the order. I have copy of email Amazon sent to Zoverstocks for cancelling and that is timed within an hour of my purchasing. Amazon should be accountable for letting Zoverstocks on their site, to sell books to people, with getting back to people 'within a few days', is an extremely bad policy. I can only assume that Amazon agrees with this 'will reply in a couple of days time', satisfactory. Also, it took 40 mins on phone to get Amazon to send to me the email they sent Zoverstocks of cancelling my order.
Glad I pursued all this, as have proof, twice, of cancelling the book, did it also, online. Cancelling within an hour is acceptable, but Zoverstocks ignore that, and just go a head 12 hrs later and send you an email saying the used book is shipped. I encourage people to take their money elsewhere if possible, as these two Companies have lost the customer service you get from other online sellers. Come on... It's an electronic age, 'reply in a couple of days', is totally a shame in my personal opinion. They get your money! And you are left with a big problem... I will never buy again from these two Companies. Zoverstocks priorities are wrong, email first confirmation of cancellation, not email product is shipped after 12 hrs of cancellation. It's a sham? There are heaps plenty out there now, that give you better service. I encourage you, to give your money to sellers who appreciate and practice good customer service.
You may not have had a problem with these two sellers, but, this is what happens, if you do, check it out, Zoverstocks do NOT refund - is this against the law? To take money out of an account, when the order was cancelled an hour after ordering? There has to be some legal standing here, somewhere, for the customer? I have proof that an email Amazon sent Zoverstocks, a copy, that Amazon sent to me, showing the time, and also have proof of cancelling on my account within the hour. Anyone know a place to take action? To retrieve my money, taken out of my account, when order was cancelled, and they were NOT given permission for the sale?
Surely sellers are accountable for not cancelling orders, and yet manage to email buyers having shipped a product that is already cancelled... Hope someone can help with email address to get my money back besides these two companies online, as they have not handled this well and do not have my best interests at heart... I have lost all confidence in them totally. Much appreciated, thanks... from Avid Reader.

After years of disappointment lately with Amazon, they've managed to keep their record intact yet again. I just bought a solar panel, paid the extra $16.99 to receive it the next day. I track everything down to my keystrokes when I correspond with them anymore. 5 days later it may get here... but the refund for the shipping isn't posted and doesn't show pending. The refund for the "lost" product they indicated would happen hasn't posted and isn't pending either. This has happened 18 times now in 11 mos. with orders shipping by UPS who never makes consumer deliveries before 630 pm and doesn't deliver on weekends. Hey, that's who gives Amazon the best deal obviously. This has happened 2 times with USPS products, and once with FedEx. I've spent just over $27K with them in that time frame as I'm a business out of my home address. I've spent $71k in the last 20 months and well over 100K total with Amazon.
There are LOTS of opportunities to have things go wrong just based on sheer number of orders... and they have. But, when I get guaranteed dates I hold them to that. They now hear from me within minutes and guess what? It MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! They have now broken through a 10% failure to perform as promised with my orders alone. They promise "next day" and ship UPS? They pulled their corporate phone #s. They offer $5 credits or an extra month of Prime? If they did what they said they'd do, hold their delivery agents accountable and take care of problems courageously they wouldn't be getting dogged like this. But... who else has DRONES?! Seriously. If we let them hide it's our own fault.
I stumbled across Wikibuy without trying. It takes longer but it gets here when I'm told it will, usually much sooner. It compares directly to Amazon Prime, including tax and finds the lowest price.

It doesn't matter who the carrier is, it's always on time or early, delivered during daylight hours and even on weekends.

I called Amazon regarding this purchase (of an Acer laptop - listed as NEW by seller Silicon Depot) due to the fact I was given a broken product. The issue was a hard drive failure that slowly manifested over time. After about 4-5 months, the laptop was unusable. Typically the seller offers the warranty after 30 days, and on electronics like laptops it is almost always one year. I contacted the laptop manufacturer (ACER) and was told one year warranty. The manufacturer has online warranty claim on their website via serial number. I used the serial number of my supposedly new device, and the MANUFACTURER listed the warrant as expired as of 2013.
The seller, Silicon Depot, had already registered the warranty under their name (or their customer's). That means the laptop WAS NOT new, but was used either by the company Silicon Depot, or it was a return which they repackaged as new. This is FRAUD from the seller which was facilitated through the Amazon store. I tried contact the seller, Silicon Depot, but they do not have a website listed on Amazon. I tried Google to find them, and I can find no contact information, website, email address, or website registration records for a company with this name. They are a ghost. I believe, based upon my experience, that this company is defrauding the public and hiding behind Amazon storefront to facilitate their fraud. I cannot believe Amazon does not qualify their vendors better than this upon accepting them into their program.
I called Amazon and explained the situation. I was PROMISED a full and complete refund with no restocking fee and NO SHIPPING CHARGES. I was lied to by the Amazon representative as my refund was not for the full amount, but in fact Amazon had deducted both a shipping charge and restocking/late return fee. I am appalled that Amazon representative lied to me and further that they allow fraudsters to sell on their store without offering any support for Amazon account holders. Instead of fighting Amazon for an additional $80+ dollars, I simply just cancelled my Prime Membership. Further, because Amazon straight out lied to me, I will be writing a full review and putting it on every online review site I can find.
I simply cannot stand liars, including big corporations who employ them and hide behind return policies that benefit scamster sellers and screw their customers by giving them no recourse on issues. Forget Amazon. I will shop locally and give my local vendors the benefit of my money, even if it costs more. I cannot fund a company with highly suspect ethics that employs liars and further hides unscrupulous sellers.

I contacted with customer service representative after 15 days. He was very rude, and not helpful. After one month passed I contacted again. She was kind and told me they will send with priority shipping with no charge as excuses which was ok.
A couple days later I noticed that price was increased, shipping was the same but custom charges increased. Our government did not increased custom charges so someone on Amazon changed it to charge priority shipping so I contacted another customer service representative. He claimed state charges. This I told him, "it is turkish custom not the state" and they charge 18-20 percent however Amazon changed this 15 dollars to 21 dollars without notification.
I told the customer service to contact related department to complain. He told me no such department and close the chat by himself which was very rude action for Amazon too. Orders late, customer service was mostly poor so if somebody read this such as Amazon central department managers or who has authority about it, let me tell you something I bought many items and shopped years I have never seen such thing.

Abandon hope if you value free speech entering questions or reviews on Amazon's products, particularly if they reflect badly on their paid suppliers in terms of pricing or delivery. Off limits are any shortcomings you would care to report about a supplier's poor delivery. I attempted to report false advertising when the ad boasted immediate 3-4 day delivery and then unilaterally changed the terms and the product was ultimately received more than a month later. (If you note the product's origin is China, take delivery promises with a grain of salt.)
Also forbidden is an attempt to advise other buyers of a supplier's price increase. A bug screen purchased for $19.99 was suddenly available at the staggering price increase of $25.99. Under questions, I asked what the justification was for such a substantial price increase. The supplier responded that his $19.99 price was available merely by scrolling down under "other sources". This proved false. Such remarks and questions will be unceremoniously removed by Amazon and you will receive an email advising of their action on the grounds that your contribution failed to meet their "guidelines". Delivery problems must be reported separately among the maze of Amazon product reports. And comments regarding suppliers' pricing or comparable cheaper availability is also apparently forbidden or at the very least discouraged.
At least the freedom remains to review honestly and in detail regarding a product's performance or lack thereof, problems assembling, operating and effectiveness are still permitted and can be excoriating in nature. Fake reviews still are prevalent, it seems (although disclosure is often encountered that a consumer received the product free or at discount in exchange for a review), so you wonder whom exactly to trust. Amazon can be extremely disloyal to the consumer in a number of respects.

Amazon Prime seldom gets an item to me in two days, selection of Prime movies is abysmal, and most importantly, quite a few items are no longer the best bargain around.

Amazon once stayed away from charging state sales taxes, but now embraces them voluntarily and enthusiastically because of its overt liberal political stance -- and the chance to charge vendors for its required tax software. Additionally, Amazon has a record, documented in media in several countries, of not treating its employees well through overt supervision and inadequate pay -- which fuels Amazon's desire for more undocumented workers.

So, I need a decision from Amazon to decide what to do.
This is what happened. On March 4 (00:36 p.m.) - I purchased in Amazon and received my "Order Confirmation". So, I considered everything was OK. No intervention should be done. On March 5 (00:36 a.m.) - Amazon sent me an e-mail asking me to send them a fax with extra information. They also informed that my account was blocked. But I noticed this problem only 18 hours later when I checked my e-mail. On March 5 (6p.m.) - I received the e-mail, collected the information and answered by e-mail 3 hours later.

I am going to travel to New York today and the time to solve all this problem is getting extremely short. I need a decision urgently.
