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.

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.

Their customer service strategy must be to be totally incapable of providing any help, frustrating their customers into giving up and stop wasting their time rather than resolving any issues so Jeff Bezos can save some money.

Negative stars if I could. Well, here we are after years for standing up for this company. To preface, and I don't care if it's tacky, I'm a single dad and a small business owner. I've spent A LOT of money on Amazon keeping my businesses going. But the largest purchase I've made they totally took advantage of me. I paid almost 2400 for a new addition to the business and it was a total mistake. You see, if you pick an item, and clip the coupon, and then have to wait a day to pay they will remove the coupon while also showing you that you only have minutes to place the order or else it will come in later. They got me. I had clipped the coupon that would save my business 220 bucks. That's a lot for a small business who is scaling up.
I have a business account and a personal account and have ordered multiple items to keep both going from them. It's the principle at this point and I'll waste money ensuring none of my business helps them. They took a coupon I had already clipped out of my cart and used greasy salesman tactics to ensure I paid that money in. Now I'll spend forever in my free time showing just who they are because I stood up for them FOR YEARS.

I purchased a membership to Amazon Prime and now suddenly no items are Prime eligible. I have to scroll down at least 10-15 search results to find Prime eligible items even with the Prime eligible toggle on. Furthermore, I purchased a prime eligible product and am now being asked to pay for return shipping because it is a third party seller. I thought free returns were part of my membership? I thought two day shipping was part of my membership? When did amazon quietly remove all of this, and why is no one else in the US noticing this? I live in NYS and there are almost no prime eligible items able to be shipped to my address. I even searched amazon brand items and can't find prime eligible items.

Amazon discriminates if you have ebt. They gave me the runaround for 2 hours on their customer service chat with absolutely no resolve. Even though they advertise that ebt sign up and membership are discounted. I was not allowed to sign up. They kept sending links that didn’t work, connecting me to different people that would ask me the same questions again. In the end they cancelled my membership basically because I’m poor. Over the years I have spent thousands with Amazon with no issues but with the inflation I can no Longer afford things that I used to. As a single mom with 2 kids I’m trying to save wherever possible. Amazon makes so much money and it’s disgusting that after all the money that I’ve spent over the years with them now I’m being treated like garbage because I was forced into getting ebt.

I had tried unsuccessfully for two weeks to order Boost Infinite sim cards through Amazon but was always unable to complete my order. Tried multiple times through Amazon's customer service to rectify the problem but they were never able to help. Spent between 2 and 3 hours on the phone with their customer service and then kept being told that they had escalated my problem to the next level and someone would be in touch with me within 24 to 48 hours but no one ever contacted me.
Finally on May 6, I was able to get the order placed on my own. Originally the cards were to be delivered on May 7th but I never received the order until May 10th and then only one card was delivered even though Amazon showed that both were. On May 10th, I returned the card via UPS and Amazon received it on May 15th. They issued a credit for the card that I did not receive but for some reason they were delaying the credit for the returned card until May 31. I called customer service again to find out why the delay in issuing this credit and was told that there was absolutely nothing that customer service could do for me.
Today, May 31, I checked on the status of my credit and it has now been backed up to June 3. At this point, I contacted my bank and opened a dispute on the charge and they immediately issued the credit to my account. It would seem that as Amazon continues to grow, they care less and less about actually providing any kind of customer service with that whole department seemingly being done from offshore with people who barely speak intelligible English and then they have no power to do anything to solve issues. I have been an Amazon Prime member for several years and have become quite disenchanted with their service over the last year. There have been many orders that were not fulfilled when they were supposed to be and countless deliveries made to the wrong address.

When I began using Amazon, I was excited but now that there is a problem with a recent order, I am realizing what a pain it is to deal with a 3rd party! I ordered one item. I got a message from the seller and they said, "Sorry we are out of stock" and I need to cancel the order. Well, the seller said it was shipped according to Amazon, despite showing them the email from the Seller. Amazon said I need to wait until after the Estimated Delivery Date which is in July. WHY?? Why would I need to wait. I have proof from the Seller they don't have it and they asked me to cancel. Then I tried to reply to the Seller and guess what...they no longer are tied to Amazon, but somehow they are still selling on their site?? Still after 20 minutes of talking to their CS, she hangs up!!

Amazon needs to change its management team. They failed to provide 2-day delivery and keep the money until you call for a refund. The customer service DOES NOT pick up the phone, and you get transferred multiple times by automatic voice. It seems AMAZON DOES ALL DO NOT ASSIST its customers.

The Amazon gift card policy is horrible. Currently you can't transfer any kind of gift card balance to another person, not even a spouse or family member. Also, you can't download the balance into your bank account either, zero exceptions, ridiculous! My wife and I both had Amazon Prime accounts before we were married, then just started using her account for Prime, no reason for two. In my account I have a gift card balance that's been there for over a year, and they won't transfer it, and I won't spend it to pay more and have to pay for shipping too, so it will sit forever in my account. One would think Amazon would want that money, and probably millions of other dollars that are being held hostage as well. If Amazon would let people transfer the gift card money to someone else, they would spend it and Amazon would make that money, such a dumb policy!

There seem to be two weights and measures for setting up shop with Amazon.com. One for the local (read: **) people and one for the international (read: **) sellers. I recently helped someone local setting up an Amazon Seller’s Account. What a tedious, strenuous experience. Lots of documents and information required: driver license, proof of residency, bank and credit card details, business address, description and references, verified phone numbers and email addresses, name of business owners, company representative, nationality, etc…etc…etc… I understand, Amazon is protecting its brand and wants to weed out bogus operations to protect itself and sellers, right?
(1) impossible to contact the seller directly, no information about the seller is listed. Only the name is provided (let’s say ABC).
(2) contacting the seller is only possible through the Messaging Assistant who states: “I send your message to ABC”.
Since no response from seller is received, I contacted Customer Service Support for help getting in contact with the vendor directly. And here it gets juicy. The Agent also did not find any contact information about seller ABC. Agent escalated the question higher up to a Lead Agent who came back empty handed. No information is available about company ABC.
How is that possible? Since I experienced personally how though the vetting procedure is to set up shop on the Amazon platform and all the verified contact details that needed to be provided before a sellers account can be opened, here is a third party vendor (read: **) company ABC selling on the Amazon website and nobody knows how to get in contact with them.
In the meantime and that because of the staggering complains about their faulty product(s), company ABC changed its name into XYZ apparently without any scrutiny by Amazon. That way, company XYZ does not need to reply to complains about products it did not sell. They keep selling same unsound products using same templates on the Amazon portal. It’s obvious that the screening by Amazon is non-existing. Corporate greed towers above buyer’s protection. Permission is given to Chinese companies who can distribute their cheaper but faulty products to us and unaware Americans are left behind holding the bag. Time to wake up people! Buy local (read: American)!

Amazon has forbidden me from writing any more reviews because they don't like honesty.

Most of the health supplement products are a complete joke with ingredients that do not do what they claim They do frequently those ingredients will kill your dog or cat or even if you're taking this supplement. I could talk for hours about the horrible products on this website and the many reviews I have written which they have rejected because you're not allowed to say bad things. You can give them a one star review but God forbid you give them the truth.
They also seem to be in an unholy alliance with JD Vance who evidently can't handle negative reviews of his horribly racist book ** elegy, so I have been slapped down for pointing out the poisonous ingredients in dog treats and human foods and for criticizing the book of the US senator who no doubt has some kind of deal going with Amazon. His book Is an atrocity of racism and ethnicism that should be pulled off the shelf of every library in this country, but Amazon won't even let you give it a negative review. Interesting arrangement they have there. And if a Company completely screws you over you're not allowed to mention that.
In other words only nice words are allowed in Amazon reviews which means all of their reviews are utterly worthless. That was already evident because pretty much everybody opens the box and says cool and write a positive review without even knowing if the product works or is deadly or not. Using my medical knowledge I am trying to warn people about the more deadly products they have on their shelves but now they have blocked me so people are going to continue to die buying products on Amazon from horrible Chinese companies that include all sorts of hideous ingredients.

Forced me to start shopping on eBay more. If I'm going to have to wait 3 to 5 days then I might as well get it on eBay at a cheaper price. There has been several times have to send an item back due to the receiving the wrong product.

I was pleased with Amazon Prime in the beginning but now over the past 2 years it seems like they have problems with everything. I ordered some stage clothes I was going to wear in a show I was playing with a band in LA. I selected next day delivery as a Prime member and now it's over 2 weeks later and still no delivery. What really worries me is that I pay my card down to 0 every single month. It's an Amazon-secured card with $1000 limit. The past 2 months I paid my balance off in full as I always do, but these last 2 months they claim that I need to change my payment method because my payment was declined! They took the money off of the card but won't send my items. I find it odd that they only do this with the expensive items. The little 20 and 30 dollar items get delivered but not the ones over 100 dollars. This is no less than stealing.
They are keeping my money and trying to double-bill me with another card when the items have already been paid for. They disconnect calls when I try to get ahold of customer service after they put me on hold forever. I no longer trust them and will be taking my business elsewhere. I also read that they make it impossible to cancel Prime memberships and keep charging you monthly fees. I'm going to cancel all my cards I have on account and be done with them. They have really gone downhill and are no longer trustworthy. Why a multi-billion dollar business would resort to these scam tactics is mind-boggling. People like myself won't tolerate it and eventually leave. Don't they get it that you can't treat customers in this manner and expect to keep them? Obviously not.

I placed an order with Amazon on March 24. I received the order on 29 March but the order they sent me had a wrong item and the package. I called back the very next day wanting to return that item. I was told that the item could not be returned but they were going to issue me a refund. I contact them again on April 4. The issue still was not resolved. When I contact them on April 14 I was told none of my information was on my account. I was very disappointed because I went through several representatives, trying to get the right person to help me with my account. I was disconnected. Several times had to call back.
Each time I did not get the same person so I had to repeat the same information over again. Each time I was disconnected I’m repeating the same information and I cannot understand the language that the people are getting. The foreign accent were so heavy I could not understand what they were saying. I had to ask over and over again. "Please speak slower. I cannot understand what you’re saying to me." This was a very, very, very, very unsatisfactory experience for me and I’m going to close out my Amazon account. I will not be ordering anything from them and I would not recommend Amazon to anyone.

Amazon preaches about ethics and transparency, especially when it comes to their reviews but little do many realize they actually delete reviews that unfavorable on THEIR products. They do this by using their review policies in their favor. I bought what they claimed were dimmable light bulbs to replace those that burnt out, their light bulbs did NOT dim after installing them, Amazon sent a blanket response, stating they tested the products and it worked as intended, then they removed my negative review. If the bulbs don't dim after I install them, then they don't dim! It's as clear as that!! And Amazon is not allowing the consumer to objectively rate the products based on their use and in doing so falsely rate their products to entice more sales.

Amazon increasingly the last few years, breaks or loses packages in transit while it's still in Amazon's possession, causing them to return it to themselves without ever having attempted delivery and then want you to pay more to re-order because of loss or damage they did in transit i.e. because of their incompetence.
They do refund what you paid, but it takes several days to get your money back and you have to reorder, now not only having to wait longer to receive, but often the items will have increased in price. There is no option to have them simply send again what you already paid for and never received & you are SOL on having to pay more now, when it is 100% their negligence that caused the items to get lost or damaged in the first place & and never attempt delivery. They even cover up for themselves on their losing or destroying your package and never delivering.
1.) The customer's order will say lost in transit, UNTIL they issue the refund, But then magically changes to say Buyer refused delivery. I've waited weeks past when should have been delivered, with it saying might be lost, your only option is a refund or you'll be out the money and waiting forever, but whenever you accept a refund, well now YOU refused delivery.
2.) When it says damaged in transit & being returned to sender (Amazon), then after they refund, all you can see then is a notice that will say there's a few possible reasons for the refund, most listed will be the customer's fault, and it doesn't specify which caused the refund.
So they never leave a recorded way for you to look back and see the number of times they have never delivered your items THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOURS, BUT BECAUSE THEY KEEP LOSING THEM IN TRANSIT OR DESTROYING THEM IN TRANSIT. And I'm talking about still in Amazon's possession, never even handed to USPS or UPS, yet won't give you the option to have them send it again, WITHOUT HAVING TO REORDER AT A NEW HIGHER PRICE!!!
Stop increasingly losing and damaging packages I order and never delivering them or let me choose to have it sent again when you lost or damaged it and never attempted delivery and at the same amount I already paid. Just send it again!! You are the one who caused it to not get delivered the first flipping time! Not Me! I shouldn't be repeatedly financially punished for your incompetence!

The issue I encountered is quite simple - Amazon is collecting Import fees on products below the tax Threshold. They claim the product gets free shipping but then they collect a tax, that is not going to be collected by customs, which is higher than the original shipping fee. Once being called upon with the customer service - started a chain of two weeks moving me from one rep to the other which none could help. Until today. 43 min on a call and the supervisor couldn't help and transferred me to wait for an answer from the same department that didn't help twice before. My guess is that they don't want to help/solve this problem, because it makes a nice free profit.

So, who is responsible for such an idiot? Does s/he know that every customer has the tracking history to read and knows every step of the upcoming delivery? The customer service is still good, but they can do nothing as it is a local issue here in Charlotte area, NC. I just cancelled my membership and will be looking for a better alternative.

Issue with mega online retailer Amazon and their refusal to refund me for a camera that I purchased in November 2023. The camera was a Christmas gift for my daughter. Unfortunately, it was defective and had to return it. We followed the Amazon return instructions, taking it to a local UPS store. We have a receipt from the UPS store for the return of the camera to Amazon. Amazon has confirmed they show the item was returned at the UPS location. However, after almost two months I still have not been refunded.
I've called and spoke to multiple Amazon reps. Each time I'm told that I will be refunded within 2-5 business days or my refund is still in process. My refund was denied and told to submit an appeal to the denial of refund. I submitted the appeal (as instructed by the Amazon Cust Service supervisor). Was told once I did that, I would receive a response within 72 hours. Never received any response. Two weeks later I contacted Amazon again and was told once again that I should receive a refund within 5 business days. I asked the rep to send me that in writing, which they emailed. It has been 5 business days and I still have not received a refund. I called again this evening and was basically given the same response.
My "refund has been processed, but it is stuck in 'Billing and Payments". Told I should be refunded in a couple days and I will receive an email within 48 hours from today/this evening. The other issue is Amazon representatives have never told me why I was denied to begin with or what is causing this lengthy delay in refunding me. I also corresponded with a rep of Adorama, the 3rd party seller of the camera.
Have an email from 3rd party rep, apologizing for my inconvenience and said he contacted their liaison to process the refund as soon as possible. Told me to allow 1-2 business days for an update. As of today, still no refund. It's been almost two months since we returned the camera. Bottom line, I am a consumer who bought a camera from Amazon in good faith. After determining it was defective/did not work, we returned the camera. I am stuck in 'refund limbo' due to either an issue with UPS and the 3rd party seller or issues between Amazon and their 3rd party seller.

This is a honest review, we have been buying thousands of dollars from Amazon for many years. For years it was great, in the last 2 years nothing but problems and worst of all is if you try to return some junk non-working Chinese junk they sell you. They tell you a refund will be issue in 30 days, WRONG. If the item you return is over 1,000 dollars good luck. You have to call again and again to get your money and sometimes it can take 2 months. The other option is to file a chargeback. No longer buying from Amazon the way we use to, we buy only if we have no other options, if you shop around they are other retailers that are 100% better. And if you have a return you can take it to the store and get credit the same day. I will no longer recommend this company to anyone.

Amazon website does not offer customer access to inquire for items purchased, then cancelled. No icons appear to inquire about refund in a non-refund received issue. Thus, 3rd party is not involved in spite of Amazon billing me for an item not provided by seller. Refund not forthcoming.

*After an hour of online chat and a phone call, the item should have been replaced NO CHARGE, especially since I gave explicit directions. Instead, they refused to.
I wrote another negative review on social media as well, detailing I work directly in CUSTOMER SERVICE for a multi-billion dollar BIG BOX retail company, and would fire someone refusing to replace product not delivered. The simple truth is Amazon is deleting ALL negative reviews, especially customer service and defective products. That is defined as tampering.

This is the second time Amazon has rejected my reviews for stating that something was shipped to me broken and me getting it fixed was an absolute hassle. I see other reviews that say this all the time, so I do not understand why this is inconsistent. Amazon does not allow feedback about sellers to be public, which greatly reduces Amazon's credibility. For example, Etsy allows this which helps customers decide who they want to do business with. This matters.
Amazon says they want feedback about packaging, but does not provide a way to leave that feedback. In other words, a product may be great, but if the seller and/or the delivery affect the quality of the product, people should know that. But, Amazon actually says that this information "won't be relevant to all customers". This policy reduces Amazon's credibility and continues to expose more and more their deceptive ways to allow reviews to be unreliable.

The only option available was to extend the subscription. I tried to leave negative feedback but it was not allowed. I will not buy any more subscriptions from Amazon. My only option is to dispute the charges when they show up on my credit card statement.

Two years ago I returned to the US and had to go through a process of updating my telephone number in their system because I couldn't receive the text for security to log-in. Now, all of a sudden, their system defaulted back to the old overseas telephone number. Here I am back on hold waiting for customer service to reset everything. Their systems suck!

Amazon Prime is nothing but a fraudulent practice. I have had many items purchased in the past and they were good about their 2 day shipping. Now, they can't deliver packages on time and they have a million excuses. Here is one from the agent chat today, "We do our best to ensure that all of our customers' orders go as smoothly as possible. And 1 day or 2 days shipping will starts once the order ships out." Nowhere is this made aware to the customer. This is all after I ordered a dehumidifier that was guaranteed to arrive on Saturday January 27, 2024. Amazon didn't ship it out until 11:50 PM the night before and this was because the item was not in stock, or so that was their excuse, but the item was in stock when I ordered it. Then I was promised by 8 different agents that it would arrive by January 27, 2024.
Now it is coming on Sunday January 28, 2024. It didn't matter to them if the product was needed for medical reasons or not. They don't care about the customer. I am tired of Amazon's lies and fraudulent practices. Time to say goodbye. Don't order anything from this company. I am going to stick with Walmart plus. They have way better customer service and they care about the customer. To Amazon you are nothing but a number and some more money in Bezos pocket. Stay away from Prime.

I've been Prime Member, own Amazon visa card. I recently purchased an item on Amazon. Unfortunately, the delivery was over a week late. I canceled the order for a refund. Due to minor difficulty on Amazon's system, 30+ days to wait on Amazon to get back to me, they never did. I contacted via phone and Chat for over 10+ times as this issue been dragged out for almost 60 days now. I had a lot of patience and put on my best behavior for service team. As you get better service when you're being nice, nobody want to deal with rude customers. But each of the representatives would stated that they already "submitted the concerns" and incident reports to the specialty department. "They'd get back to me in 24-48 hours". But they NEVER did each time, they kept lying to me. For a trillion dollar company like Amazon, I get better service from a brain dead, crackhead in the back alley at 2 AM. Very disappointed. As I had really high praise for Amazon as a business.

Lately I have had a lot of problems with deliveries from Amazon.com. In the beginning we had no issues but lately it has been a hit and miss if they deliver to the front porch. Maybe it depends on the driver's mood. The latest delivery happened yesterday. The instructions say to deliver to the front porch. When the delivery happened, the message was, "Your package was left near the front door or porch." I have a picture of where the package was left in the driveway next to my car on the ground by the garage. The garage is about 75 feet from the front door. I had to walk out there in the rain to retrieve my package. Maybe the driver didn't want to get wet. I would think Amazon would provide rain gear. This is just one event of several incorrect deliveries that I have dealt with Amazon. I might add if the weather is bad or rainy then deliver it on another day if you don't want to get wet. I might add Customer service or Dispatch is no help with this problem.

AND, he even had the irony of leave it right under screen he is supposed to use to open a locker. Even when the instructions for carriers are right under the screen he just did as he pleased; and this is not the first time. I can just say, Amazon's carriers used to be great at following instructions, well, not anymore. Nowadays, if they could, they'd toss the packages like a newspaper boy in the mornings.

Amazon used to have top notch customer service and reliability but what happened?! The lack of reliability in delivery and packaging the last year or two drove me to cancel my Prime membership. What really infuriated me was they continued to bill me for several months after and promised to provide a credit which they did not do. Eventually I used my email proof to have my bank cancel the charges. Many items are not packed properly or at all and arrive damaged. Heavy ones in particular. Most frustrating are orders that are in stock two hours from my home that are scheduled to be next day delivery get shipped several states away and disappear or at best arrive incredibly late. I believe Amazon has become too large to manage what it is they promise to do well.

I became an Amazon Prime member years ago to receive the benefits of fast shipping and easy returns...boy was I wrong. Shipping is average at best, and returns are never easy. Customer service is a nightmare, and if you think that talking to a supervisor is going to help you, you are grossly mistaken. Here's an example...I purchased a trampoline for my niece and nephew for the holidays. But after hearing from a friend that their daughter was injured on the same model, I decided to go with a safer option. I tried reaching out to the seller to find out how to return the item, but I never received a response. So I reached out to Amazon for guidance with the return.
Ash, the supervisor, told me to print the label on my Amazon account page and attach it to the box. Then they said to take it to UPS and pay for the shipping out of pocket. I was told to take a picture of the receipt and attach it with my reply to their email. They said the refund would be processed with my original payment method at UPS. They also promised to call in the morning to confirm that all went well with the shipping. I paid $379.55 in shipping!!! Needless to say I have not received my refund, nor did I receive a phone call or any follow up email.
Since then I have spoken to 16+ representatives, 8 of them Supervisors. Each one giving more empty promises of refunds and follow up customer service. One supervisor, Van P., promised that the refund would be processed 3-5 days from when we spoke...that was 16 days ago. And the last supervisor Dianne P. promised me this..."Hello James, As we discussed, I'll call or email you everyday 10:00 EST regarding our conversation about the update"...That was 3 days ago and I have received no calls or emails. They all keep acknowledging that the original supervisor (Ash) messed up, but no one is fixing the problem.
The idea of calling Amazon again and spending another hour on each call is sickening. Amazon is still holding my $379.55 and I don't know what to do. The fact that I pay extra as a Prime member to receive horrible customer service and to have my money for lack of better terms "stolen"...is disgusting!!! Don't waste your hard earned money or your valuable time...Amazon Prime is not looking out for your best interest at all!!!

This is not a review for the product per se. This a review on the horrible, frustrating, lack of competence from Amazon and their team. Also a review on how crap their Alexa service and ecosystem is. I invested into the ecosystem with speakers and smart devices that can be controlled through Alexa. I added a ton of speakers and smart devices with routines that help me run my household conveniently. Unfortunately I replaced my phone as it had broken. When I received my new phone, I signed into my account only to find that I had no devices on my account. No routines. Nothing. I checked my wife’s phone to see if she still had the routines and devices and she did. Here is where the incompetence comes in with Amazon. Amazon tried to convince me that the devices were registered with my wife’s account without checking anything on my account. I told the representative that my wife doesn’t have an account.
My wife doesn’t even know how to email. She doesn’t even know her own email because I set everything up for. She is technically challenged lol. I then told the representative that she was a liar and was trying to get off the phone with me as to not deal with me and the issue because according to a bunch of sub reddits and internet articles, this is an ongoing problem for about 5-6 years now. I then proceeded to ask my echo which account she was connected to and she clearly said my first and last name and said that it was my account that she was connected to. The representative then had no choice but to check the serial numbers on my echos to see which account they were registered to. The greatest part was that the representative said that they are not connected to that account. She then asked me if I had another account that it can be connected to. I only have one account and my wife literally signs in with my credentials.
Well I sign in for her because remember, she is not tech savvy. I then told the representative that having another account would be impossible as my iPhone stores passwords and emails. So I proceeded to checked my passwords in settings and lo and behold, one account, one username and one password. She then told me that I can simply setup my devices again and will return to normal. I told her that in order for that to happen, you would have to come to my house and do it for me because I refuse to. I did it once already and it was time consuming.
I would have reset a ton of devices, spend about an hour setting up routines and devices all for a foul up that has been going for years by the not so great and powerful Amazon. I will be finding ways and will dedicate my time to write negative reviews and will use my influence to make sure people do not invest in such a crap, amateur, buggy excuse for a service. Google best and even apples home is much mor stable and a hell of a lot more reliable.
P.S. I had a dinner party today and wanted to put some music with my guest and ended up spending literally an hour and ten minutes on the phone with them and an additional 45 minutes just trying to figure it out on my own. Stay away! Please believe me it will frustrate you if you accidentally sign out or delete the app. Just do a quick google search and see thousands of people experiencing the same problem. IT IS COMMON AND INFIXABLE!

Once I got my order history back I thought I was done. That only took me a dozen hours on chat/phone calls to get that resolved. Now I realize they removed my address & payment info. I couldn't resolve this, so I had to chat w/ Amazon again. 3 hours later with no explanations they call me & ask for verification (billing address). Really? You deleted that.

It seems Amazon has changed quite a bit in the last few years. I live in a very rural area, hours away from a UPS store and thirty minutes from the only drop off location around. I am a Prime member and purchase from Amazon frequently because shopping options are limited where I live. I suspect this is true for many rural Amazon customers. The cost of Prime has increased significantly, while benefits are being altered or restricted. I am constantly only given a return option that is free only if taking items to a UPS store. Also, some items are returned with a QR code that no one locally, not even the UPS driver, can read. I also feel that Amazon is manipulating customers into dropping returns off at affiliated businesses, such as Whole Foods Market or Kohl's.
If "no longer wanted/needed" is selected for the reason for return, no free return shipping is available even for Prime members. Amazon hides information on how to contact a live customer service person as well. Prime has become almost useless for me. Amazon should value its rural customers and do more to ensure that Prime benefits apply to all members who pay the increasing membership fee.

I was as well suppose to hear from them about receiving a gift card in place of check refund that never happened as well. I doubt very seriously I will ever see that refund.
It is my understanding that the Federal Trade Commission has received several complaints regarding this same issue against Amazon Prime. It is insane they can just deduct money from your acct not even ask you if you want the subscription then when you contact them and tell them no, they do everything in their power to keep you from getting a refund and then have the nerve to try and get you to buy the subscription at a reduced rate. I did not want it to begin with, a reduced rate won't change that Amazon is a bully. They stomp all over the consumer. So as of now long story short, I will be invested in 14 to 16 weeks if not more in order to get back the 144.87 they took from my acct if I ever get it at all. Run people, don't buy into the hype, they can not be trusted. If you too have experienced the same issue I suggest you file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against Amazon.

Amazon used to be a good company, but now are the worst on the planet!!! In fact, 1 star is way too good for them. I would rate them - (negative) 5. They hijacked a retailer-purchased gift card, that I uploaded into my Amazon account, by locking the card and locking my account. They wanted proof of purchase, which made no sense but I provided anyway with not only the card but the receipt for purchase. However, that was not good enough as they kept asking for proof with a different tender than was used. Serious red flags!!! And after several attempts were made through several customer service agents and management with no resolution, as nobody had the authority to help restore my account and gift card balance, I tried calling the corporate office.
Unfortunately, their call corporate center staff have no authority or ability to escalate calls or transfer to executive leadership. Everything has to go through their customer service, which has no ability to provide effective customer service. The purchase was early 2023 and I have tried for all these months to get this resolved.
Lesson learned!!! Amazon has lost all credibility and respect is zero!!! I do not suggest giving them your business!!! However, I do suggest voicing yourself to warn others of their horrible business practices. Like I and several others are doing. I also saw other customers voice a bad review of their practices mentioning a class action lawsuit. Sounds like this may be the best recourse.

As other reviews have already expressed. The quality of customer service and delivery has declined in recent years. More times than not, my orders as a Amazon Prime member are late more than they are on time. I have even had orders that state 'out for delivery' and by the end of the day, I get a notice saying the order is delayed. Several times I have had items that could be delivered the next day, but if I order multiple items. If I wait an extra 2 days they will ship all items together. Then after those extra 2 days.
The original item that I could have had delivered the next day, ends up being 2 or 3 days beyond the original 2-day extra wait. When contacting customer service all they basically say is if it doesn't arrive by a certain date then contact them to cancel the order and get a refund. So again, as others have also posted, why have a system that tells you if you order by a certain time you will have delivery by a certain date and hardly even stick by it. Why should we bother to continue paying for Prime service when we are not receiving Prime service.

I have been shopping Amazon for years. Each year they get worse regarding service. I am disabled, and rely on delivery to home. When you have Prime, they promise you delivery by such and such date. When considering an item, they give you how much time you have to enter item into cart and complete checkout to guarantee delivery by the date they show you. This has been failing terribly. I have to have major surgery tomorrow. I ordered a charger and cable, it wasn't what I wanted, but if I ordered and checked out within 8 hour window they showed, it would be delivered today. Not now, nope. They didn't even SHIP it until today, Wednesday, and I won't receive it until Friday.
When I called to speak with someone about this I get the runaround. Those are "estimates." I state, that's NOT what we are told when we pay for our prime dues, and that is NOT what that "delivery by" date before we place it in the cart says! The word "estimate" is not in there anywhere. Every year, their policies change. They want you to review the items one buys, BUT you cannot say anything about the seller, or mention other things pertinent to the item. It's like if you don't say what they want you to say, they will not post your review (all reviews have to go through their reviewers). They don't hold to their policies. The things I have been told they won't post my review however are in other recent posts by others, but not their "featured" reviews on products, which in my opinion seems to be when reviews are not posted if it is negative. They keep changing things. Like prime movie. Now, we have to pay not to see ads. Really?
They snuck in new terms on the Kindle services as well a few years back. This is my last year. I'll not renew. I hope people stand together against this. Amazon needs to remember, they are where they are because of people buying from them. To me, they are more of a disservice, and to justify their greed so blatantly, is a disgrace! When is enough enough? They used the excuse of covid for delayed shipping for nearly 2 years. But did you see them refund anyone for the service they guaranteed for your prime dues? Nope.

To become ad free, it's additional 2.99 per month charge, or 36 dollars annually to your subscription fee. This is ridiculous, many pay for streaming, so they are not bombarded by ads. Other streaming platforms give their product for free, in place of ads..Completely understandable. But greedy Bezos wants both the advertising revenue and additional fees paid by users. With this additional fee, Amazon is now more costly than Netflix. Before you know it, Netflix will follow soon. Amazon is driving away users to other platforms. Amazon already charges for add-on channels, certain movies etc., etc. When an individual can jump over to TUBI and get it for free, but with ads.

I have used Amazon Prime for many years and it seems like they keep changing their offerings and not delivering on service that was paid for with the prime subscription. It has been nice to have free delivery on a quick basis but recently their delivery times have been excessive. Over the years their high price for prime was offset by their movies and content but recently they have very little to offer and if you want to watch more movies you need to pay extra for other streaming services and now they are raising their prices to watch what little they offer for additional fee to get rid of advertising.
For the annual amount they charge for prime, I can afford to pay for reasonable freight. I have found that Walmart offers the same service without a membership fee unless you go with their Walmart+ which is only necessary if you want quick shipment. They currently are shipping about the same a amazon with no shipping charges.
I currently have a paid annual membership with Amazon and whenever I am purchasing I always double check their prices with walmart and they are very close or lower. Unless amazon gets their act together I will not renew my membership and keep shopping both amazon and walmart. I hope amazon get the message that they can't keep charging for Prime and not give the value or service.

I had to shop at Amazon for Christmas 2023 because I live in Tennessee and my grandkids live in Florida. A box with only about 119$ worth of items DIDN'T show up in Palmetto Florida. We’ve had a lot of problems with the Palmetto post office so I called to let Amazon know the box didn’t show up. They told me to call the police and that was that they hung up the phone on me. When I called back they hung up again. Now keep in mind I paid over 1000.00 this holiday season with Amazon and they had still several orders not delivered yet. The items I purchased said sold by Amazon and delivered by Amazon but that was a lie even though the website said that they are allowed to use “partners” to deliver!!
Knowing I had several delivery problems with Palmetto Florida post office I made sure the items I chose would be delivered by Amazon I thought!! But not the case and then when post office didn’t deliver again and couldn’t find the box I am out 119$ and Amazon hung up on me.. So I then canceled the last few items that had NOT SHIPPED yet and Amazon wouldn’t return my money again!! Another 85$!!! Unbelievable so I have cancelled my Amazon prime which I’ve had for over 6 years also I had paid thru PayPal and so pay pal took out 168.00$ and then amazon also took out the same amount so I was double charged for THAT so watch your accounts. They’ve probably been doing this a while and I just didn’t notice but because it was Christmas and I’d had problems with that post office I noticed and they got caught. NEVER again. I do not enjoy losing money to big corporations or being hung up on either.

They become one of the worst customer service ever. Never was that bad. They gave me a hard time to return an item after return period (which is a month) and after hours of talk they refund me a restocking fee as promotional credit which is useless because the only way to use it for is items which is sold and shipped by Amazon which is very few. Looks like they are marketing very well for walmart plus, I do not know what is the benefits of being a prime member.

They told me the drill press that I ordered would be here this Friday. I purchased it based on this. Now they're telling me I won't receive it till at least another week later. It was very important for me to receive this on time things. I run a small business and customers depend on my work. As far as Amazon being Dependable they are not. The products they sell are very poor. I should have known better and went and purchase it at Home Depot or Lowe's. I have since canceled my Prime membership and deleted all my list. It's more convenient for me to purchase it someplace else when I can pick it up in the store and not have to worry about receiving a package that has been damaged or the product that is broken inside due to shipping or just poor handling with Amazon. I'm absolutely positive if everybody reads all the reviews they'll find that they're having the same issue. I have regretted ever doing business with Amazon.

Please keep in mind that I do not enjoy leaving bad reviews. I remember when Amazon actually had a great relationship with their customers being able to call them and speak to a live person right away. Lately I have come across multiple sellers who are deceivingly selling products on the Amazon website claiming that they are new and discovering something else. I purchased the phone which I was told was brand new according to the seller. When I got my package I discovered that the phone that I had bought was actually a phone that had been renewed.
I know this because I have owned this phone three times in the past which was the LG V60 thin q. You could tell that the phone had been renewed because of the chips around the bezel that hold down the screen. Also functions would not work right mainly biometrics. When you bought this phone new the Biometrics worked perfectly. I called customer service to report the seller selling used items as new. They could care less they'll just keep doing it.
I have had to send back so many items to Amazon because of faulty advertisement and sellers being greedy and deceiving and when you notify customer service they don't care. They figure they're so big that nobody would dare challenge them. I mean why else would you not correct the people that are doing deceiving things with Amazon. Money money. I really feel let down by Amazon they're just another business out to make a book and they don't care who they screw over. sorry to sound so negative but I have really had a horrible experience with them. I will be closing my Prime Membership never to buy anything from Amazon again.

I bought a floral arrangement for a friend at a cost of 119.00. They said it arrived days before it was supposed to and claim it was placed in my friend's mailbox. That would be impossible due to size. Amazon said the order was to "an outside seller" which meant I can only leave a messages with them. Amazon will not refund me. Since a customer has no way of knowing they are "an outside seller" when placing an order this seem ilegal or at least morally wrong.

UPS finally helped me resolve the delivery issue. UPS actually sent a rep to open a closed facility and she found my package. I was then able to go pick it up. I'm not sure if it was all my calls to UPS or if Amazon helped. I'm happy with the outcome. Amazon also went above and beyond and gave me a full refund for the item purchased. WTG Amazon!

I think that Amazon has gotten so much business that they no longer care about their customers and whether or not their customers get their deliveries or not. I ordered a new Laptop on December 14th. It was due to be delivered Sunday December 17th by 10pm. So I took off work Sunday to make sure I was here for delivery. After I got off work I got a message that the delivery would be on Monday the 18th by 10pm. I had specific delivery instructions on where to place my delivery in my absence because I could not take off again. The delivery was made but my instructions were not followed and the package was placed in front of my front door visible to the street and sidewalk. I never received the packages which means they were likely stolen.
Amazon refuses to replace the purchase or refund the purchase which means I am now out of $570.00 and with no new laptop. Had the driver followed my instructions this problem would exist. Why ask for delivery instructions if the driver is not going to follow them? This is highly unacceptable. Due to an Amazon Driver's error I have to eat $570.00? Why is that? How simple could it be to follow delivery instructions to avoid these kind of issues? What else can I do to address this injustice? I paid for the products, shouldn't I get them? I could almost understand if I did not have any delivery instructions included. But I did! I need help with this. Derrick **, Glenwood, Illinois.

So I ordered some stuff on line for my business, and paid for it... But didn't get a confirmation email... But that has happened before. I've got 3 orders now on the way from different places. And this one still hasn't even been sent out, according to my records. As I log in and got closer and closer to the original transaction. When I got there. It turned red and said I need to update my payment. That it had not been paid for! As far as I can tell all that happened right when I clicked on it. I received no emails to that effect. Nothing went then to my spam file... And to make matters worse, It actually did charge me... And I can't get ahold of anybody to let them know. It's fifty bucks... Enough to make me mad, but not enough to charge the windmill city of denseness... I've had good luck before. I guess I was due?? What exactly are they doing?
I have deadlines and things I need to do, and they can't even confirm whether I paid without my traversing the digital gauntlet, sneak into the lions' den just to see a little note saying "your business is important to us. So important you need to pay us again! Nice job finding the room. Most don't. You're ALMOST THERE! just one more time, and this time, we GUARANTEE! YOU’LL HEAR SOMETHING!"... The thing that bothers me is I've been waiting here for several days, now two business days in a row. When someone hits the BUT button, we need to KNOW if there are problems... Not have a pop-up when we navigate downtown Tokyo to the place we ordered it only to have a sign pop-up saying, "You didn't pay, and what if you did!?" There's literally no place I can write. I guess the bank will handle a chargeback. Abandon all hope... Etc.

After I posted this review I decided to write a letter to Amazon headquarters. Three days after I sent it I received a call from headquarters. The gentleman on the phone said he was with an executive review team and that he reviewed my experience and that the credit card charge for the mattress I did not order would be removed.
It is unfortunate that I had to waste many hours on the situation; however, I sincerely appreciate that Amazon finally listened to me and I have resumed using Amazon again, albeit with more caution. In fairness, they ultimately did the right thing.

On September 25, 2023 I ordered a Queen Nectar Mattress for my daughter's NYC apartment. When she put it on the bed she realized it was a King Mattress. I called Amazon to arrange to return the King and have a Queen sent. The woman I spoke to at their customer service told me that they didn't have a way to pick it up because it was out of the box so it couldn't be shipped. I explained that getting it out of the apartment was going to be a huge hassle and that since it was Amazon's mistake they should figure it out. She apologized, told me there was nothing she could do & that maybe I could get a charity to pick it up and that she was sending me out the Queen that I ordered.
Goodwill told my daughter that maybe they could take it but she would have to bring it in. When my daughter called Nectar to ask them if they could pick it up they said they would be happy to but when she said I bought it from Amazon they apologized and said they could't assist. There was no way that she could get that huge mattress around NYC. She eventually found someone to drag it down nine floors and get it out of there. Three months later Amazon is charging me for the King mattress that I did not order and they would not take back. I have been an Amazon Prime member since its inception but I am cancelling it. The customer service is non existent and I have now been ripped off for seven hundred dollars for their mistake.

I have been shopping with Amazon since Amazon basically started. Never had any issues with them until the last year with returns. I have returned several products and had to wait over 30 days to get a refund for a product that Amazon had in their return center within days of initiating the refund. Not only are they doing this but they are doing this to consumers who have their credit card so that they can obtain interest on those products before they refund you. Another way that Amazon collects millions of dollars.
In the last few recent months they are now refusing to refund for products that are returned, unopened, and just sent back due to change of mind but I have had to literally file Disputes with my credit card companies just to get my money back and a process that is lengthy and just plain ridiculous. When customer service explains why they aren't refunding you for a product you sent back and they have the answer is appalling. "We don't have to!" What kind of customer service is that?? It's now to the point where I have had to file so many Disputes with my credit card/bank that they will no longer process anything coming from Amazon. Which is a relief.

As Amazon has grown they’ve gone downhill significantly just like a lot. Only caring about money and how fast they can shove out products. They’ll hire anyone and it seems people who are lazy take jobs here because they get away with it. Repeatedly within the last couple of months I have paid an additional $2.99 for same-day shipping and I never get my item one time. I am probably owed at least $20 at this point for same-day deliveries not delivered within the specified timeframe if not more. I let customer service know, and their response was they are sorry it won’t happen again. Their response to everything is always that they are sorry it won’t happen again, and it always happens again. Which is another thing that repeatedly happens now that I live in a condo complex. We have a package room with a package locker inside which I paid for the package locker services.
They are too lazy to deliver the packages to my door most of the time and instead take them to the package room, but they don’t put them in the locker as they are supposed to. They literally just throw them in the room for a complex of hundreds of people and I have to spend a half hour out of my day searching for packages when I paid for a service that I could easily type a code in and have a locker pop open and retrieve my packages immediately. Of course, as previously mentioned, I contacted them and their response was they are sorry it won’t happen again. Repeatedly happens. Literally, just throw the packages in there and the boxes are often broken open and products inside broken and disheveled.
Last month I received an AutoShip box which was giant and had like 10 different products inside. The box was busted open and there was trash in it and a half empty Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee cup. Disgusting. Multiple of the products were also damaged. I’ve received literally an empty package of air, my friend ordered a card game and literally received a dildo.

Amazon has the worst delivery drivers I've ever experienced. Not only do they do the bare minimum, but they have no consideration on making sure packages are being delivered properly and securely in the Amazon HUB lockers. This is not to bash the ones who actually go above and beyond for the company. These are the ones who are dressed in regular clothes who are trying to make a quick buck. This should be a huge concern for Amazon because eventually this billion-dollar company will see a financial loss due to the overwhelming demand on refunds or reshipment that never seems to make it due to the lack of work ethic due to these workers. Would really like to see a change in this company.

I have rarely REQUESTED a refund from Amazon, but I have had refunds OFFERED to me by Amazon Customer Service when I have made contact regarding a damaged or incorrect item. None of these previous incorrect or damaged products have been my fault. Sometimes they have asked for me to send a photo of the incorrect/damaged item, and I have done that (they did not ask this time). I do not want a copy of my ID out on some 3rd party's system, where months from now I find out they had a "breach" and personal data may have been exposed.
I am disappointed, but more than that, actually disturbed, that Amazon thinks it is appropriate to respond to a customer who was sent an INCORRECT ITEM, with an accusation of "unusual refund activity" and a response that is essentially - 'sorry, if you aren't willing to provide more personal information, then we will not correct OUR mistake'.
