    Recently Amazon has gotten worse and worse about packages being late or lost with no explanation. Just recently I had a camera completely disappear in shipping somewhere in TN (not even my state), they even delivered an empty envelope that had never been sealed. Twice in the past 2 weeks I've placed an order for products that stated they would be here next day (Prime member) just to check the progress the next day and it's changed to over a week. They've become so unreliable I'm going to have to stop using them. They have good prices but you cannot plan on receiving the items anywhere near when they advertise, if you even get it. They make good on things in the end but who needs the headache and hassle of this happening constantly?

    They will still even with Prime send your packages thru a 3rd party vendor and they will show up later than if you just ordered it standard. Did you ever think someone is waiting on those car parts so they can return to work? If I wanted my package sent thru UPS I would of got it from eBay.

    They are the worse when it comes to shipping. Placed an order 10/23 for delivery on 10/28. They did not ship until 10/26. There is no way it will arrive tomorrow, not be USPS. It is not even in El Paso and USPS will not make a special trip. Thanks for a ruined birthday Amazon. According to tracking USPS has not received it. They don't care. You have no one to contact. You finally find the link to get to connected to customer service which is nowhere here in the US and then when you contact them - they never understand what you want. I have returned to shopping with Walmart and use Amazon more sparingly. I miss the Amazon of yesteryear when they cared about the customer.

    This review is after multiple issues with items I purchased on Amazon. To make the long story short, be very careful, and don't leave your card information on your profile. I had an issue w/ a table and amazon told me to deal with the third party; third party is not solving the issue and Amazon doesn't really do anything to solve the issue, but sending messages to third party. Amazon says they are not responsible! The other issue is that after returning an item, I was charged again by the third party by mistake (really!) without any notice! furthermore, I've had couple of items with status delivered which I never received them; when I called amazon, they said the item was lost in transit!!! Be careful. Most people don't really follow up and they are not aware of what's going on. This review is after being on call with amazon for a long time and I'm very frustrated, angry with a severe headache. Thank you.

    This is in reference to the way Amazon is handling an international "wishlist" purchase and shipment. There are many reasons why someone would want their personal information hidden, and that should be respected. Up until recently, Amazon appeared to be doing just that until the last 2 shipments, one in Sept 2022, which was somehow resolved by someone at Amazon and did not care to divulge how, and now with this Oct 2022 order & shipment (Order # **).

    First, I was hung up on by the last Amazon CS agent. I know I kept calling, hours and hours of time, over 6 days, trying to figure out why the shipping on the order was so messed up. Sensing Amazon was behind this all along and confirmed by Amazon CS agent Colin M, I continued to press my case with no resolution, the shipment is still stuck in a DHL "Clearance event" (DHL tracking numbers: ** & **). Something is definitely wrong with the way Amazon has set up international shipping with DHL and maybe other carriers as well. All I know is from April 2020 to Aug of 2022 we never had an issue with shipments, using Amazon, from the US to Romania. And now we do. We checked the EU regulations and nothing changed that would affect our orders to Romania.

    Also, in the last month (Oct 2022) we have used other shipping companies besides DHL, using different online companies, rather than Amazon, with ZERO issues. Something stinks and it is coming from the halls of Terry Av N. We were told by Amazon, that there was nothing they could do. We were told by DHL.ro that Amazon needed to fix their waybill. In the meantime, I am out $250, my family is without the blankets and gifts I sent, the shipment is in limbo for however long ..., and all we can do is wait for DHL to send the shipment back to Amazon so I can get a refund? - if I can get a refund. Amazon is so huge, I doubt this will go anywhere. But I will post to as many sites as possible.

    I have never been so angry, upset, and disgusted than I am now with Amazon. It was Amazon’s doing giving this item, a Nespresso coffee maker, a second life but without any proper inspection. More so, this item was not in the “original manufacturer’s packaging” as it should have been, but rather delivered in a distressed empty box of DIAPERS. The product itself was nicked and filthy. Several USED PODS were found outside of, as well as INSIDE of the coffee maker. Lastly, it did not contain all the contents as it should have been. Do note that there WAS NO disclaimer indicating that any items may be missing. Amazon has now officially tainted its’ name in my eyes. My family cannot believe what has happened, more so, the health hazard of receiving a product of such in this horrible fashion. How can an item be received / ACCEPTED in this fashion by the original owner, let alone sent back out for a second life in such disarray???

    Amazon's customer service is terrible. There isn't good contact info, getting out of the automated system is hard, and what I find on my account on the computer isn't the same as what the reps see. My default address has changed twice when I had items shipped to other addresses while I did not change it. Orders are late, and reps are not helpful. I was hung up on twice and put on hold for an inordinate amount of time. Finding out any info about a time sensitive order is a nightmare. I've had several orders shipped by USPS that said there was an inadequate address while the address on the site is correct with detailed added info. The system needs improving badly.

    I ordered some socks in August because I knew I would be needing some and it was a good price. I used a few pair of them and when I grabbed for last pair, there were shards of broken glass in the bag. Had I pulled out all socks like I normally do, my fingers would have been sliced open. I contacted Amazon since this is a pretty serious problem. I didn't request a refund, I just wanted to let them know. The snarky customer service rep said there is nothing they can do because I ordered socks 2 months ago. We are talking about shards of glass in a product they sent to me.

    I had made a purchase from Amazon.com using my debit card. When using this card, there is a chance that a double charge of my purchase is placed on my card, but I am usually refunded the double charge immediately. However, this last time, the issues I dealt with exposed fraudulent behavior when it comes to customers' transactions. When my card was double charged and not immediately refunded like usual, this prompted me to contact customer service. Carolyn B., assured me that my double charge was refunded, and I would receive it within 3-5 days.

    On the sixth day, no refund, so I called customer service again where Trudy-Ann, M., had assisted me. This time, I was reassured again that my refund had been issued, however, it takes 5-7 business days. Whatever, I can wait. However, on the 8th business day and still no refund, my first call was to my bank where they began to tell me that they have no pending refund from Amazon. My next call was back to customer service asking what the issue was. Now as this is my 3rd time calling Amazon customer service, I am quite frustrated by this point. I begin explaining, AGAIN, to Christina R., my issues with this double charge and receiving my refund from it.

    Again, she assures me that the refund was issued but it will take 7-10 business days. WHAT!? Why was I not told this from the beginning, and it would've saved all this hassle and confusion. So, I waited, and on the 11th business day, guess what, NO REFUND! I call my bank, still no pending transaction, so I call Amazon customer service for the 4th time. I explain the situation again, but this time to a Mr. **, P., who then checks on this issue. You all would not believe what he proceeds to tell. He then tells me that there is no record the refund being issued back to me from this double charge! NOTHING! Thankfully he fixed the issue for me and immediately issued me refund, that I will have to wait another 7-10 business days for.

    This experience tells me a couple of things that are currently happening amongst the workers processing our payments. One thing it tells me is that some people are stealing from the customers. The second thing it tells me, because of the different levels that this issue was escalated to, that there is a group of individuals working together on this to try and cover their fraud. I have learned in life that if something has happened to me, 9 times out of 10, they are or have happened to others.

    When purchasing through Amazon.com, I would be cognizant about ensuring they are not taking more money than they should and then giving you the run around about it. Check, and keep calling if this is an issue that has/is happening to you. There is a good chance someone is lying about your money. Just hope this helps people be more aware. I still make purchases from this company, just because of how quickly I can receive my orders. However, I keep an eye on my bank account for the next couple days after my purchases.

    Don't buy laptops that ships from Amazon. They will allow you to fill order they know they don't have sufficient stock to fill and then have you strung along for weeks with fictitious delivery times and dates. After several attempts and 2 cancellations. I made a third attempt and made order for Lenovo laptop 9/11/2022. It is now oct 2nd. The answer was insufficient stock. They should not string customers along. If you know you don't have sufficient stock let the party know rather than lying to them that they will get product in an established date. This is by far the worst online purchase experience and would never recommend laptop purchase through amazon. Period.

    I've about given up trying to watch movies or listen to music on Amazon Prime. They charge to rent or buy movies that are free on TV even though they charge yearly for Amazon Prime. The movie selection that is free is sadly lacking. It's mostly horror, murder or mayhem. Even much older movies need to be rented or bought. As for the music, so much was available but no longer unless you pay extra for the privilege. Music I listened to under my Amazon Prime just 6 months ago has been removed unless you pay extra. I won't pay extra for substandard movies or music I can get free on the radio or TV and soon I may drop Amazon Prime completely.

    I've been an Amazon customer for 12 years, and a Prime member for about 10. Until now, I've had few problems with the company. I'm not a serious reviewer. Over these years, I've written a total of 96 reviews for products. (This nowhere near matches the amount of product I've bought from them, I just don't write reviews for everything I buy).

    So, yesterday I get an email from Amazon telling me that they've detected one or more of my reviews violates their terms of service and should this continue, I could lose my ability to review products on Amazon, and that "I should consider this my first warning". They then provide a link to the "terms of service page". The problem is that they don't tell me WHAT reviews they may be talking about, or WHAT the violations are.

    Although I am not a serious Amazon reviewer, I always put thought and care into my reviews, trying to make them fair, even finding something good to say if I have to leave a bad review. I don't believe I've broken any rules, but that's not really my problem. My problem is that they don't tell me what I supposedly did wrong! If they told me, "Hey, this review about the hammer you bought violates terms X and Y", I would be fine with that. Their company, their rules. But it's apparently Amazon's policy to play this game where they tell you nothing. So now, why should I ever bother writing a review again? They basically just spit in my face with this email that gives me my "first warning" but can't be bothered to specify what I supposedly did wrong. It's Infuriating.

    At first I looked for an easy way to contact them about this but wound up in a maze of options, none of which seemed to be appropriate. I did some Googling and learned that MANY people have had this problem, and especially, had their reviews taken down for reasons they will never know. Many have been shocked to find they are blocked from leaving reviews at all. These people HAVE contacted Amazon over their deleted reviews, and very few seem to get any real answers, just computer-generated responses. (A few got their reviews reposted). Many of these people are serious reviewers, having written hundreds of Amazon reviews.

    I'm just furious and disgusted over the situation. Thank God I didn't write hundreds of reviews the way other people have. So I deleted all 96 of my reviews, and will never write another review for Amazon. Just a heads up to the folks out there putting great effort into carefully writing their Amazon reviews: You could be wasting your time in the most frustrating way.

    I purchased a product and I was sent a different formulation instead. When I tried to contact Amazon about it, the system only allowed for the option of a “refund upon return“. I was seeking a replacement and did not want the inconvenience to have to go to another location to return this item if I was not the one that made the error. The seller did not allow for a way to receive the item I ordered and send me some sort of packaging that I could just leave outside in my mailbox to return it.

    In addition, Amazon has the ridiculous policy that telephone customer service (which is almost impossible to find hidden in the bowels of their application) would not even help me with the item because I was told I had to wait 24 hours after delivery to receive telephone customer service about a delivery. Very frustrating and annoying. I spent many thousands of dollars through them and when I asked for a credit for my time, they offered me a measly five dollars. I can’t wait for someone to beat them at their own game and do it better hopefully.

    I've been a Prime customer for somewhere between 7 to 9 years now? Weekly in fact. As a small business person since 1995, and one in hospitality, I deal with human beings of every personality type, many nationalities, backgrounds, etc. What it makes you in the end, is a very fair person who because one is also the target of unfair reviews, you develop a sense of propriety and how to manage issues or turn lemon into lemonade. To this day, Amazon has never attempted to discuss lemons into lemonade. They just like to keep you sucking their sour ways of not dealing with something or admitting they're in the wrong, and ignoring you with just citing vague company policies.

    So the matter at hand is that I've always left constructive reviews, and rarely have said anything critical or disparaging about a product and as a filmmaker who has actually made a documentary film, I give just as much fairness to filmmakers when reviewing shows or movies I've watched on Amazon. Which is why it made absolutely no sense whatsoever when they cut off my ability to leave any reviews of any kind. And perhaps the ultimate hypocrisy of their system is that with every delivery, they want me to leave reviews about their drivers? Or if I've had other issues with products, and there's been some sort of customer service interaction, they want me to review that? Makes no sense.

    Now bear in mind I've contacted them over and over on this issue, but each and every time, they've never satisfied the original problem with any explanation or any other possible path to recovering or restoring our client to client relationship. Instead, they just want you to bow to them and keep on paying them to be disrespectful of yourself and insult your intelligence through and through. Welcome to corporate America.

    I’ve had far more negative experiences with Amazon than positive. Every purchase feels like a gamble, yet oftentimes there’s no viable alternative and all I can do is leave it to luck. It first started with damaged product, which has happened on at least 3 separate purchases - sometimes repeatedly on the replacements. These were all books and console game discs, which are small in size and easily affected by mistreatment during transportation. Speaking of shipping, why the unrealistic ETAs on the product pages? While my goods have a poor track record when it comes to consistently arriving on time, I don’t think that’s the fault of the hands on deck, aka workers who are physically making it happen.

    A lot of products boast a free next-day delivery for prime members on its page, but oftentimes it’s nothing critical for survival and proposed shipping schedule obviously does not factor in any sort of cushion for possible delays. I’m honestly unsure why this is the default and not an option. Amazon as a company is promoting an unreasonable expectation, and I’m sure everyone’s heard of at least one horror story about employees receiving unfair treatment while making it happen.

    Then comes the issue of customer service. Sometimes there’s language barrier, which is concerning on a few points. Part of me wants to think that job opportunities for non-native English speakers and/or overseas residents is a positive thing. I really do. However, this creates a few issues. From an ethical standpoint, not only is the motive behind these hires questionable based on rumors of employee treatment, these people now have to customer support for folks who are at times angry, and about issues that they may not even fully understand. Sometimes with a language barrier.

    As an example, one of my shipments were horribly delayed and eventually cancelled without notice by Amazon - this was after multiple days of contacting customer service and being assured that the product will arrive the next day, in a week, etc. Turns out there was a huge weather issue that no human could do anything about, which wasn’t local to neither myself nor any of the multiple attendants I spoke to but absolutely affected the distribution route. Obviously all they could do was feed me false promises (whether they knew it to be false or not, I wouldn’t know) while I kept getting effectively lied to. If that’s not setting someone up for failure, I probably have the definition wrong.

    What’s worse, this isn’t even the first, second or third time something similar has happened. Like I’ve said, my experience with Amazon is more negative than positive and there have been plenty of occasions where the answers I received were untrue or any sort of opacity and accountability were just nonexistent. As a footnote, the order cancellation by Amazon took incredibly long to receive my refund for some reason as well for some reason with, of course, no explanation provided. In summary, I feel that Amazon’s operations are unfair to both consumers and employees alike. I do not want to support nor promote this company based on my experiences, should this be their continued course of action.

    In about March/April 2020, Amazon sent me an email accusing me of abusing my account. The email stated they wanted to understand the reason of my usage. I tried to send an explanation (I started purchasing much more frequently in reaction to watching YouTube videos on latest/essential emergency prep items available on Amazon.) I kept the items I liked and returned items that had poor quality or didn't match the photo and/or description posted on the website. When they sent the email, I discontinued making frequent purchases and only made occasional purchases (once or twice a month). Also, I contacted Amazon before making any further returns and offered to send them photos and referred them to their own customer feedback reviews as evidence that I wasn't making anything up or being unreasonable. Their return explanation options menu was limited, making it difficult to specifically communication the issue.

    There were also issues with some of the Amazon drivers on some occasions stating they "Handed package directly to resident" which was absolutely untrue. A number of items arrived damaged, wrong item or used item sent, etc. I also experienced an issue with the post office misdelivering some of my packages. I made a complaint to the Postmaster General, they opened an investigation, confirmed some items being misdelivered and resolved the issue.

    A few months later, Amazon locked my account (June) without an explanation. I have called their customer service several times. Their reps said they don't know the reason and that the account should be working. They said they would escalate the issue to their security department. This led me to believe the issue was something technical in nature. I received emails from them on at least 4-5 occasions stating the account had been restored - but when I checked, the account still didn't work.

    On each occasion the process was repeated (they notify their security department, I receive a restored functionality email a few days later but the account still didn't work). Their customer service said there is no one else they or I can speak to and I would have to wait for a response from the security team. They would not refund my money for the inability to use the account for the 2 months. The customer service rep says they can't give me a credit/refund because they can't get into the account. I requested a supervisor that spoke with me for a few minutes, then abruptly hung up on me. I filed a complaint with BBB and Amazon nearly immediately (a few hours later) retaliated by closing my account and saying they would not respond to emails. In their response they still didn't give any specific incident or item(s) I was accused of abusing and stated their algoritim was proprietary and they would not reveal how it works.

After placing the order on Amazon (with indicated order window), the delivery day was not met and updated to after it would have been delivered by the supplier.

    It has happened several times in the last 2 years that Amazon's did not deliver within the original indicated delivery date. I cancelled the order with Amazon and ordered from the Supplier.

Later that date I received a bizarre email about the account closure and aggressive demands to submit pay stub, (apparently if you're unemployed, you can't shop on Amazon), utility bills (if you don't pay bills, the Amazon shopping is also prohibited) and Id.

    In addition, it mention my mother's name, who is currently lives in Ukraine and a Ukrainian refugee who lost everything during the war there. So Amazon, had the the nerve to investigate and close my account, because I was an American citizen living in New York with Mom being a Ukrainian refugee and still living in Ukraine. Is Amazon.com and Putin are partners in war? And all Amazon's campaign to support Ukraine are just fake? In this case, I can only say "Get lost Amazon".

    Hackers stole my two credit cards info from my Amazon.com account and made small monthly non-traceable "digital" purchases of Netflix and Frndly. One of my credit card companies stated this is a known problem with Amazon.com hackers and is common since most people don't look at small charges on their statements such as these $6.99 and $10.95/month charges. For obvious reasons, the stolen card numbers are typically not used for purchases that involve items delivered to a physical address. I recommend people, at a minimum, go into their Amazon account to check for unauthorized digital purchases: click Your Account - Your Orders - Digital Orders.

    I have been a long time customer of Amazon and its audible partner site. About 5 weeks ago for no reason given both of my accounts were locked out. When I called the customer service number I get no answers and an given a statement that they must contact a different department but they can only do so by placing a ticket. So this happens the same way every time I've called. Then I get an email that they decided to close my account without reason.

    I called back and tried to ask to speak with this department that decided to close my accounts directly and not a single person supposedly has a direct contact in any form. The last customer service agent I spoke to was uncaring and very unhelpful. Due to this terrible customer service I lost my gift card on Amazon and around 22 books on audible and 4 credits I paid for that were unused. They didn't offer to pay me back nor did they give any options to fix my account. To say that the Amazon customer service system is broken would be an understatement. If anyone has gone through this and knows a way to fix it I would love to hear it.

    Overnight Amazon deleted my 10+ year old account with all my data, orders, subscriptions, listings, credit cards, Prime membership, without notice and without my consent. In addition, I have purchased several protection plans that I will not be able to use, if necessary, as I no longer have access to the invoice for the insured product. I can't cancel these plans either, as I don't have access to my account.

    All this means that in addition to the annoyance I'm having significant financial losses with this failure of Amazon's systems. I repeat, I didn't cancel my account and I didn't even receive an email confirming this act. My history just disappeared from the face of the earth. Should I have confidence in Amazon's security? Customer service is simply chaotic as everyone says something different without a resolution. I think I'm talking to Canada, where I actually canceled my account a few months ago after finding out I was being charged for a membership I had canceled. This solution was suggested by Amazon's own customer service and that it will not interfere with my US account.

    To reenter the system, I created a new account with the same email, but without history. I have pending, paid and undelivered orders, subscriptions and other histories and I do not accept the customer service version that it is impossible to recover the account. I did not request the cancellation of this account and I need it reinstated. I've always been an unconditional fan of Amazon and I buy all the company's products. However, an event like this shakes confidence in the institution.

    I ordered 4 roof top air conditioners from Amazon. The order was supplied by Amazon reseller RVSupplies. On the order page it was mentioned full refunds if returned within 30 days. I attempted to cancel the order within 4 hours as the project has been cancelled. Amazon said the supplier reject the cancellation since he accepting return within 30 minutes!! from order. This is unheard of. How Amazon accept such lousily supplier. So, the order has been shipped to me. Then I found out that I need to pay for the shipping back ($150 per item....times 4. That is $600 out of my pocket... and I didn't even saw the order). After I got confirmation of the returned then I got a message from Amazon that the supplier will charge re-stocking fee and also claimed some damage done to the UPS return shipment.

    1. As Amazon customer for 20 years I expect Amazon to provide superb service, to provide me the customer peace of mind, to be responsible to whatever they supply whether direct or indirect and to honor the terms of the order, in this case "full refund if return within 30 days". But in fact there has been SMALL print on the supplier website or 30 minutes cancellation, re-stocking, and customer responsible to shipping back if cancel the order. At the bare minimum Amazon was supposed to provide this information on the order page in bold... and not expect customers to read the fine print on each and all orders .... I ordered from amazon around 90 products within the last 90 days. Amazon is favoring this reseller on me the customer. I no more trust Amazon. I use them as my sole online supplier. No more!!

I live in Washington State and am surrounded by Amazon warehouse and still can't get a order and if you call the offshore phone centers they can't help and you can't truly review amazon as a business.

    I have been ordering from Amazon forever it seems. I just purchased 2 Honda Generators and a lot of accessories for them. Some of my orders to my home are for thousands of dollars and I get a little nervous when UPS drops my generators without ringing the doorbell! That’s not AMAZON'S fault of course. Amazon does a fantastic job of speedy, very easy ordering on their website. The site is a work of art in that it just works right every order I place! I love Amazon and I think Jeff Bezos is under appreciated!

    Talk about how easy it is to return….say a pair of shoes that don’t fit right….just put them back outside your door and they are whisked away back to Amazon and you are refunded immediately! Amazon prices must be scrutinized and compared to get the best prices. But I pay less than I would in person at the stores with Amazon Prime 5% back, discounted prices on top of that and free shipping and really fast delivery times! FANTASTIC. I saved hundreds of dollars on my Honda Generators, what a pleasant surprise! Plus I can buy extended warranties on my generators, accessories and extended run fuel tanks etc etc.

    Thanks to Jeff Bezos for developing online shopping to such a high degree of integrity! Love it! That Prime membership, comes with free movies, music wow! I can just go on and on.

Then the replacement broke the same way the first one did only it took a few days past the 30 they allow you. So now I could no longer return to Kohl's, although they said I could, but Kohl's couldn’t process the code they sent. When I drove the twenty miles to return it there. Then they were also going to charge me a restocking fee.

    I didn’t feel that was anyway to treat a longtime Prime member. Meaning prime tv and the works. So, I said if this is how it’s going to be just cancel my account. The tv sucks anyway. More and more you have to pay to watch anything good in addition to the fee you already pay. So they did as I asked BUT IN THE MEANTIME I had a couple of orders in the works and one was incorrect when I received it. When I tried to login I could not. When I phoned They said my order number didn’t exist. Basically calling me a liar. I guess the Amazon charge in my credit card that I’ll dispute is a figment of my imagination.

Came home 4 days later with the items completely smashed and glob everywhere with pieces of glass and 3 out of 5 people (including supervisors) wanted me to mail that back in order to get a refund. They wanted me to commit a federal crime by mailing broken glass intentionally to them. A local officer I called even said to them that I am not allowed to do that. They then wanted me to go wading through dumpsters to take pictures of the items. This was not even 50.00 worth of stuff and I already have covid and this is how they treat you! We did find one small bag with some of it in it so sent those pictures but they won't do anything since it's not all 3 items. It's a disgrace and I can not believe how low they have sunk!

    I am not a heavy user of Amazon. Mostly because the quality of goods that aren't from a big brand supplier are questionable. I recently had my amazon account hacked and amazon proactively locked down my account but not before allowing one of four transactions progress to shipped. This resulted in >$1000 being charged to my account. Amazon are not taking resolution of this seriously as my financial institution have determined amazon should be responsible for the refund. It looks like amazon would prefer to make revenue on cybercrime and fraud than support their customers with timely, clear and relevant management of these cases in stressful times. It appears amazon sees more profit in supporting organised crime and probably facilitating money laundering or financing terrorism than it does in legal businesses and legitimate consumers.

    After multiple calls to Amazon and opening an investigation through American Express I was issued a credit. Amazon followed up with a call. It should not have taken all of this but in the end I only lost my time and some sanity for a few weeks. I would not say I won't use Amazon again but my orders will be limited to lower cost items and I will do my due diligence to check reviews and ratings of any seller. Most likely I will stick with orders sold directly by Amazon and avoid third party sellers. I have had good experiences as a whole with Amazon so this is an outlier.

    I purchased a $ 2,200.00 camera through Amazon prime. I thought since this was a prime order that Amazon would cover me if anything went wrong. Bad mistake on my part! Turns out the seller was a complete fraud and they sent me a cheap kids bag of some sort. No camera. I immediately called Amazon and set up a return. I tracked it each day and confirmed delivery to their returns department. After over 10 days I still have not been refunded. I have called Amazon every day and they are no help and will not refund my $. I also reported as fraud and American Express is investigating. This has been my worst online purchase experience ever!

    FYI, the seller ripped off many other Amazon customers and has a 100% negative feedback. Amazon knows this but will not back up the customer whatsoever. I estimated over 50k in stolen money from various customers. It's really unbelievable. Also, Amazon deleted all my return information from my account. They also delete any negative reviews that I post on Amazon. Luckily I have documented this information well and still have copies. Stay away from this company. Since management was changed it is complete crap show. Buy direct. I have had great experiences with other online sellers and my prime account will be no more!

I can’t find it in the mailroom and the Amazon van guy I flagged down said he didn’t have a delivery for me. Their customer service tells me that it was marked delivered by mistake and I would get it next day with the 2nd shipment. Well next day the 2nd shipment is marked delivered but doesn’t say where and nothing is here. Customer service chat was atrocious!

    I drove down to an Amazon customer service center and spoke with 2 supervisors. They could see by GPS history that my 2nd shipment was delivered a mile away from me to a different apt complex. The other, they say delivery wasn’t attempted and it was simply marked as delivered. I went to this other complex where they said it was but it wasn’t there. Mine wasn’t there but there were several packages there that belonged to people from my complex! After explaining things multiple times to their customer service and being asked to file reports for them to “investigate”, I am so fuming mad that they REFUSE to refund or replace. Horrible horrible garbage company. I WILL get my money back regardless, thankfully, I used a CC.

    Like many on here, I decided to cancel my Prime membership after 20 something years. It's clear that Amazon has no concept of managing their supply chain and are so deceptive to customers, it's amazing how they get away with it. They increase Prime membership yet the majority of product takes several days or delivery AND if you find the same product with 2nd day delivery, it's marked up significantly higher than the same product with several day delivery. So, we are paying higher cost for membership and then higher cost for product to take advantage of the membership. Go to Walmart - less expensive, better product availability, 1-2 day free shipping. Amazon is horrible!

    While Amazon is a good company, they presuppose, with their "topics and answers" list that they are so a great company that they know everything that the customer needs in response to an order question. Should an order be late, as in my case, (after promising a certain delivery date if I ordered a product by a specific time slot), my options for recourse with the late order is to wait an additional 3 days to see if the product arrives, and only then I may choose to cancel if I desire to do so.

    As a Prime member whose pays yearly for their "2 -day delivery" promise, this is woefully unsatisfactory, especially when the onus for shipping details on the order is pushed by Amazon into MY LAP to follow up directly with the shipper to find out why the shipment that THEY arranged with him is late!! They effectively "shield themselves" from customer inquiries into such orders by not providing any direct live web interface method with their company. This fact will weigh heavily upon any future decision to continue my membership with them!!

    I've been Prime member for that past 18 years (since 2004) and I just cancelled my membership two days ago along with Amazon Store Card due to overall experience at Amazon.com where you no longer can trust Amazon as company or their Customer Support that has been outsourced to India. Let me explain why. I don't know if you've noticed over the past few years (5 years) Amazon products quality in general dropped drastically from being best place to shop to a place that start looking like China retail site.

    Amazon has been caught posting an insane number of fake reviews for their products. I received many products marked as "Brand New" that were either open-box or renewed items. My problem that you no longer can rely on reviews, as they fake and don't represent actual product quality. In the past 3 years I've returned more products than in 15 years combined, just imagine that for a second. Their customer support has been outsourced to India and other countries where representative literally don't care about your problem.

    Amazon Store Card experience become final nail in the Amazon coffin. I will never shop on Amazon again but let me also explain on what happened. Amazon Store Card mobile app and online site are literally not functioning properly. After making a purchase transaction is not getting reflected on your account for up to 5 business days, that's the whole week guys! That's doesn't stop there.

    When you try to make a payment, your payment is not appearing as pending transaction for up to 3-4 business days, where app still showing your balance as unpaid even after confirming that they successfully received your payment. Again, it doesn't stop there. They are using Synchrony Bank that falsely advertising everyday 5% cashback with qualified Prime membership. I've never received any cashback. Next when you cancel your account due to not properly functioning app, Synchrony Bank will report your cancellation to all main credit agencies that will hurt your credit score.

    Amazon other products like Amazon Prime Movies become total garbage selection, where if you want to see some decent movie, you have to rent it, buy it, or subscribe for another service. Amazon Music is another money-making machine that on top of your Prime membership on every single use will try get you subscribe to Amazon Prime Unlimited service with crappy sound quality, and if you want HD audio quality you have to pay extra. If you don't pay attention for everything you buy at Amazon, you end up like me literally spending thousands of dollars per month. I AM DONE WITH AMAZON! Amazon become like eBay where you get 50/50 chance of getting what you really want and at the end you also end up paying pretty insane price to get all of the Amazon-paid services. From best online retailer you've become TOTAL GARBAGE COMPANY with ** services and customer support. GOODBYE AMAZON!

    2). DO NOT USE OR TRUST AMAZON and their Sellers, they are running a fraud scam.

    I like most others would leave less than zero stars if possible. Over a month ago Amazon decided that someone was ordering items they shouldn't be - and shut my account down. All items were me - they were gift cards to Amazon for a program we are doing. They canceled all. I was in Mexico at the time - not sure if it was the location that freaked them out. I have explained over and over and over and over that it is me. They refuse to turn my account back on. Every time I call, I'm told that there is no email or phone number they can give out to "said department" - CS has to generate an email with them. CS doesn't even have a phone number to them. Right. They've emailed a couple of times with a format email telling me I have to get a new account, because they deemed someone hacked into mine and placed an order. IT WAS ME!!!!

    They finally send an email saying if I really want to get back in, what I have to do - starting with resetting my password. I've explained over and over that I get a notice every time I try to do this - saying they've closed my account and they won't allow the password to reset. Not only did my Prime renew days before this happened (NO ONE has offered to refund this, so I would have to pay for it again - even though I've asked). I have numerous items I have to return and now can't because I can't start the return process. To say their CS is beyond the lowest most pathetic thing I've ever experienced is putting it mildly.

But this was second times happened to me and Amazon still didn't fix this common issue?! Amazon an average sale is $950 million a day, let say 0.5% fall in this error = $4,750,000; if 95% of customer didn't bother to check their statements = $4,512,500 was overcharged by Amazon a day!

    Amazon will not know this error unless customer called to compliant, then they just refunded the overcharged! But why it is so hard for Amazon to fix this issue? Was it very hard? No, I'm an IT professional, the programming is so easy to fix it: If warehouse received return item = No; then charged customer back (this is what Amazon code now). Should change to the following: If warehouse received return item = No; then if return received in UPS = No; then charged customer back else = report to UPS missing items.

    As you can see, the programming is so easy to fix such logical errors, but why Amazon still didn't bother to fix it? Because Amazon can make over $4,512,500 a day without any penalty, so why not? If this is not call scam, then what should it called?

KDP is now shutting out authors from Kindle who have been on KDP for years and now closing their accounts, creating lies as to why you are cut, with no proof. There is no allowance for fixing unknown mistakes, or providing evidence as to why KDP is closing their accounts. They just send an email stating you can no longer submit books, receive royalties, as KDP will confiscate them, sometimes thousands of dollars owed authors, all of their books gone from Kindle, and they can never open another account again. This doesn't make sense whatsoever. Have out of control robots taken over???

    It seems Amazon is going off the deep end experiencing more problems than ever, especially now with employees wanting to unionize, despite getting better wages and benefits than they could get in another warehouse job. Authors Beware, you can be cut from Kindle for any reason, but they will make up reasons without proof. There are other places to create books, that I am guessing won't cut you out or steal your hard earned royalties.

They continually said they would be "delivered by 8 pm tomorrow". There was no tracking info, just that it was being sent from an international mail carrier. I didn't make it an issue until things I had ordered started showing severe damage or just never showed up.

    I utilized the chat feature online which continued sending me from seller to Amazon and back again. I sent an email and received a response telling me they were so sorry and they were reimbursing me for the 3 signs. They said not to bother sending them back, as it was their way of making things right. I was thankful and once the signs finally showed up, I returned to the product page to write a review. The shipping and tracking were less than reliable but the signs were great quality and couldn't have been more perfect.

    Logging in a few days later, I noticed I had a message from Amazon. They had shut my profile down and erased ALL reviews I had previously shared. I thought it was a mistake. I utilized the chat once again and was ASSURED that the problem was fixed and my account would be reactivated within a few days. FIVE MINUTES after the conversation in chat, I received an email stating that they were holding steadily by their decision to suspend my account and suggested I read their policies on review etiquette.

    Overall I am satisfied with my experience at Amazon, but two areas of major improvement needed. First is the product reviews and pricing. There are thousands of positive reviews for so many items, and it's clear that the reviews are bogus or not really associated with that product. There needs to be a way to only view products sold by Amazon directly, because many market sellers way overprice items that can be purchased cheaper elsewhere (like Walmart, Target, etc). The second issue is they make it too difficult to get help when there's an issue with an order.

Despite them showing returnable, refundable and replaceable, you also do not have access to the traditional amazon A-Z guarantee hence returns are a problem.

    I bought a bed topper for a good sum of money and it is entirely too soft. I previously bought one that showed the actual seller I was granted a refund without return in April 2021). They come compressed and as such in a small box. There is no way you can return a fully expanded topper in the original box and amazon could/would not supply a box. They suggested I sell it on Amazon (I have no box to ship it in and am unable to handle it being physically handicapped and homebound. What makes that an option for me?)

    They also suggested I contact the original seller (lucid) but could not give me an address to write to and told me to use my search engine! Note there is no guarantee they will help me as I did not buy it from them). I am a decades-long Amazon customer and have had a fair quality of life because of it. This new change has hampered my ability to obtain my daily life needs. How sad this world is becoming and now my only resource for most of my needs is problematic.

    The annual membership for Prime is ridiculous. I refuse to pay it anymore just to get free shipping. How does Prime free shipping with that kind of annual fee make sense? I have moved so much of my business the past few years to Ebay, which has some better prices at times and lots of free shipping options. And delivery is surprisingly fast. I will still do "some" buying at Amazon, but only when I am able to accumulate $25 worth, which isn't that often. Also, I don't get as many PERKS with Amazon gift cards as I would with any others at my local grocery stores.

    I pick Amazon over other online vendors quite a few times because of their promise to get items to you fast. I have to say that promise they have just seems like a lie to me now. Very little if anything I have ordered shows up on time! Then I have to say this other scam they have almost seems criminal to me. They say "Get it tomorrow if you spend $35 on qualifying items". Not only am I paying more than eBay prices for certain things, I then have to buy two of them so that it is over $35 to get it next day. Of course it doesn't show up the next day and it says on the shipping update that it won't show up for 4 days.

    Here is the part I think is criminal. So I go back to Amazon to see if I could get the same product I ordered from some other seller delivered tomorrow. So I see the same seller selling the exact same thing and there is that promise again of having it here by tomorrow, if my order is over $35? They know it is not going to show up on time but they still scam you out of the $35 order and promise it the next day!! This has happened enough to me to realize it is not a fluke event. It is standard operating procedure!

    Amazon sells convenience. But at what cost. To be fair, most of my products arrived on time and were very good. Prime shipping is a scam. You pay for free shipping by paying monthly for Prime. So, for this reason, many Prime products are shipped Parcel Post Ground USPS. This is literally the slowest way to move anything. Amazon does many things well.

    Here is why I deleted my account, and will no longer use Amazon anything. If you review a product, and they don't like your review, they will flag your account to delete all your reviews past and present. They will then prohibit you from reviewing anything you buy on their site. As an American, I have a problem with a vendor taking away my right to speak on my experience. I purchased that right when I bought your product. My reviews were never vulgar nor offensive. Amazon simply didn't care for the rating. That simple. Cancel Culture in this country is our demise. Amazon is part of that practice. For this reason, I cancelled them. I also feel Amazon is responsible for the many small businesses in America going under. Leave your home. Talk to a neighbor. Buy some local honey at the flea market from that little old man that's been there 30 years. Cancel your Amazon account. Stop the suppressive giant.

    Hello there. Here is my summary of events that happened and the reason why I’m disputing the charges from Amazon in the amount of $xxxx. Amazon offered me a return label through their website on 11/11/2021. I printed it out and brought my AirPods pros with their packaging to UPS for shipping using the Amazon provided label (Also on 11/11/2021). Amazon received my package on 11/15/2021. I received an email Nov 23rd that “the returned item we received was incorrect”. They did not include any item name, description, or reference number.

    Confused, I wrote them back and also called them to see what was going on. Through my calls with the “Customer Service” department (which they completely differentiate from the “returns department”) I was informed that the shipping box I sent back to amazon had an empty package inside. I assumed it was some sort of mistake and I could talk with them to get to the bottom of it. After countless emails and phone calls, I was told that it wasn’t that the package was empty, but the wrong item was in the package and they “disposed” of it. What?? Is what I was thinking. After much more back and forth through emails and phone calls, I was told, no, the package was in fact empty, and then again it was the wrong item in the package, and then that the package was empty and then that it was the wrong item in the package and then again that it was empty... this loop never ended and I’ve never gotten a straight answer.

    Customer service told me they can only read me some basic notes from the returns department and then I need to respond to the email from the returns department and they will get back to me. I was told this again and again and I responded to the Returns Department email again and again asking for them to look into this and clarify exactly what they are saying happened and provide any information they can about this. They basically stonewalled me and continued to send me a generic email saying “if you would like to appeal this decision, please reply to this email.” I replied again and again and again. I couldn’t get them to talk to me at all. I asked for clarity. I asked for them to investigate internally and provide me any information they can. They wouldn’t respond directly to anything I ask, or requested. I also asked them to start a claim with UPS so UPS could start a claim and investigate as well. They didn’t respond.

    I contacted UPS directly and attempted to start a claim to investigate this and was told that they are happy to do so, but Amazon has to be the one to request it since they are the actual customer of UPS. (Amazon hired UPS to ship the return.) They said Amazon had not contacted them in any way. I called back into UPS multiple times to see if I could start an investigation other ways and was told again and again that they are happy to do it but Amazon would have to authorize the claim for investigation. I even requested they look into simple fraud and I reported it as such to them. They said their hands were tied and they could do nothing unless Amazon authorized it. Meanwhile, Amazon continued to give me generic response after generic response and nobody would respond directly to my questions.

    Finally I got someone from Amazon customer service on the phone who said they would “be honest with me.” They said their hands were tied and it was entirely in the returns department’s hands. They said they thought there was ZERO chance that the returns department at amazon would authorize a claims investigation with UPS. Obviously I was very frustrated with all of this and looked into it further. I found that my drop-off receipt showed that my package weighed .9 lbs and the delivery receipt showed that it weighed .6 lbs. I pointed this out to Amazon through emails and phone calls. I also pointed it out to UPS. I filed a police report in Brooklyn for the police to investigate as well.

    I am beyond frustrated that someone stole the headphones I returned using Amazon’s vendor and Amazon not only is keeping my money, but they refuse to investigate it internally or communicate about it OR authorize UPS to investigate it which they are more than willing and ready to do. Something very fishy is going on here and someone stole the headphones or threw them away and refuses to take accountability or look into it. Bottom line: I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated with Amazon and their lack of any real customer service or reaction to them or their vendor losing my return and them keeping my money.

    Although many posted reasons for Prime delivery failures appear reasonable and fair, I feel they’re more like making excuses for intentionally not complying with the Prime-Delivery agreement we members originally signed up for. Over the last few years I noticed a slow progression from their original 2-Day delivery to 3-Days, then 4 and now as long as 7 to 10 days! This is what many call a scam, or a con, but at least it's a Bait & Switch. Who needs to pay extra for Prime Services if they’re going to renege on their agreement with us and consistently deliver Prime products late as if they were on the standard plan?

    Besides do you know that according to Amazon’s own shareholder data, Amazon collects $3,000,000.000.00 dollars in Prime Membership fees every year! That’s right…. $3 Billion Dollars a year without delivering on what they had agreed to do with our money in the Prime Membership contract. There should be a rule that every time Amazon fails to deliver on their Prime Membership Agreement, (minus sincere reasons) they must post a membership-fee refund or credit for that entire month! Then you’ll see how fast they’ll STOP playing games making excuses for being continuously late... heck they're being paid enough!

    Although Amazon's support was extremely limited when my item was not delivered, all of the agents that I spoke with were nice, well-mannered, patient and acted professionally. It's not their fault that they are limited in what they are able to do. After all, they are not able to contact logistics directly.

Destination is an Amazon locker that closes at 11 PM. My package has been in my city since 1 AM on the promised delivery date and it cannot be inside the Amazon locker by 11 PM??? Very suspicious!!! I can no longer trust and rely on Amazon.com. I Spoke with 5 different agents and not one of them could get a hold of Amazon logistics to find out what really happened. Amazon customer service does not have a way of contacting their logistics/drivers other than ONLY BY EMAIL. All that customer service can do is say "I'm sorry."

    Been using Amazon for years. Since Covid company has gone downhill fast. More mistakes less customer service to impersonal. Website no longer user friendly. Stupid automated computer trying to guess what you need. Refunds became a nightmare. Delivery times are inaccurate. Used to order get fast on time delivery with a smile. On the rare occasion there was a problem a human went over and above to right the wrong. Now mistakes are a given and good luck getting thru to a human. If you do be ready to battle for a proper resolution.

    Examples are packaged liquid, in box with other items, shipped where the spray pump squirts out every time the box is shaken or lid wasn't screwed on tight enough. Now drive 45 mins to UPS to return a half empty bottle of Shampoo in order to get a refund. Bet your sweet cheeks I am sending it back in the same wet dripping box it came in and no I didn't tighten the lid. Seller sends 1 item instead of 4 you ordered and paid for 3 weeks late. No problem. Spend 20 mins online going thru the robotic response. Finally get a CSR who sends seller a message with 48 hrs to respond. 48 hrs later call back and you're told, "We will send seller a message with 48 hrs to respond". Repeat 48 hrs later. Check on orders get delivered today. End of day states delivery next week. Not what was advertised. Too bad we will change the status again tomorrow.

    Leave instructions to leave pkg at the gate. Come home and if it was delivered it's in the porch and your dogs are running thru the neighborhood. My favorite is it was left at gate, on porch or near mailbox. NOT 20 mins later you find it in the horse pasture. Or better yet it's frozen goods and you're going to have a friend get them in the freezer while you're at work. Come home since no delivery stated to melted ice and food thawed. Blame Covid, lack of employees, upgrades to system whatever you want but went from a solid 10 on a scale of 1-5 to a minus 20 in under 2 yrs. So disappointed two day delivery went from getting it in two days to getting it two days from shipping (which might be weeks) to you may get it, you may not. The convenience is gone. Will trade Prime membership for gas to drive to Walmart from now on. At least it's in my hand and I can speak to a human to get a problem resolved. So sad how much this service has deteriorated.

    I had a number clicks by a competitor on my ad for Baby Cakes a Very Tiny Heroine. Clearly they were trying to use up my budget. I asked Amazon to investigate and told them that until they resolved the issue I was pausing my ads with them. I never heard back and they have charged me for these fraudulent clicks. Google is on top of fraudulent clicks. They remove them before I have ever raised the issue. Not so with Amazon. Atay away from their advertising as competitors will just click endlessly to use up your budget and you will have wasted all of your money and Amazon could care less as they still get paid since they won't investigate, or if they do there is no follow up with the customer.

    I'm reporting my 2nd claim about this company as my account got hacked again for the 2nd time. This company seriously needs to be rebuked like Wells Fargo did and other companies like that. Amazon is a terrible company. So many customers get scammed and hacked. I don't see how they are a service. Do not do business with them! You will eventually get hacked and Amazon won't do anything about it. I'm finished doing business with this company if you can even call yourself a company allowing hackers to breed in your company like flies on poop.

    On Dec 29,2021, I was seeking assistance for an item I ordered on Amazon. A very nasty, snide, downright rude "rep" by the name of Vishnu responded in a very negative way. HR is not a good "rep" or customer service person for this company. I had purchased an item in a certain size because it's the usual size that I wear in all clothing, I couldn't fit it so I sent it back because it still had the sticker on it in order to keep it sanitary. I then purchased a size larger and it still didn't fit but this time the sticker was removed and coming off. So I wanted a refund in order to purchase another design. I didn't want to send this one back due to it already being worn during trying on.

    Vishnu responded with "FIRST OF ALL (which is already a disgusting tone) you ordered and chose the size so it's not on our end. It's on your end (which I agree I did choose this size after first trying the usual size that I fit, found that this product runs smaller than usual so be leery before purchasing on Amazon to begin and end with). It was very deeply disturbing the response that I received from someone who is supposed to represent a company/business in a professional manner. He was very unprofessional and so hope that he/she is reprimanded and really is fired to be honest because they really made me feel like a devalued consumer. I do not want to do business w Amazon anymore due to this very unpleasant experience. I recommend if anyone ever gets Vishnu, request better customer service. Hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else.

    Placed an order For M11 in exchange for Resmi Note 9. The exchange offer was good. It was supposed to be delivered on 26th Dec. At 17:19 got a message that address incomplete. I received 4 Amazon deliveries on 26th December at the same address. Called customer care. They assured delivery will be completed next day. Next day two deliveries with same delivery agent was marked. One was mobile and another item. After calls got the number of delivery agent. On contacting him he flatly refused that he has any mobile delivery for me with him.

    Called Customer care in afternoon and was told that order handed over to some other agent. In afternoon got call from Amazon and a customer care agent and She enquired the health of product to be exchanged and also how old it was. In evening Amazon again called and gave number of same delivery agent as given earlier. Called him at least 15 times. He didn't lift and after some time got same message address incomplete.

    It was now clear Amazon did not want to deliver the order and was playing with my time. I called and requested Amazon to specify whether they will deliver and again got same old reply. Finally I cancelled the order since I then I called back Amazon. The tone of the agent indicated that Amazon wanted the same. Felt really cheated by Amazon.

    I have had numerous issues with Amazon not upholding their part of the terms regarding my Prime Membership. Specifically the 2 day shipping/arrival guarantee. I can not begin to tell you how many times I have had to contact the member services staff only for them to be uncaring and unprofessional about issue resolution. Sending emails to jeff puts me in touch with their Executive Relations staff. Most of the time it is a waste. They come up with almost every excuse in the book as to why they can not honor it. Sometimes going as far as to actually blame me for not knowing the terms.

    Their solution has always been to offer me a Amazon credit (which in its own right is a joke because you can only use this credit for items sold and shipped by Amazon themselves.) No, I do not want your useless credit. I want you to honor the terms of your membership agreement. 2 day shipping means that you, Amazon, must select the proper level of shipment service with UPS that will guarantee that I will receive it in 2 days. That is what your 2 day shipping guarantee means as it applies to Prime Members. Otherwise, what is the point of having a Prime Membership. NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY in this company understands that concept. The last correspondence I received from them about this issue even said, "further inquiries won't receive a response."

    How would that make you feel hearing that if you were a member? If you said "not valued," then you're not alone. If Amazon treats their Prime Members this way, then maybe all these horror stories I hear from their employees and ex-employees are starting to sound true. I can just imagine what it was actually like for the employees who had to endure or parished in their warehouse in Illinois that they didn't provide tornado shelters for. I'm willing to bet the stories being told about that are true. Amazon USED to be a great company. Not anymore and it seems that Bezos probably doesn't even care anymore. Well maybe he will care when there is a class action lawsuit against him and his company for not upholding their end of the terms in their Prime Membership agreement.

Customer service explain to me that it would take up to 14 days for me to get my money back and on the product it says 2 days so I need my money so that I can reorder my daughter-in-law something and because of Amazon she's not going to have anything for Christmas from the boys....

    Today, 12/12/2021, the Amazon driver once again delivered our package to the wrong house. When I called Amazon customer service to ask how I could file a formal complaint, the CSR agent would not give me any information. Not an email, form link, nothing. Why? Because I did not have the email address of the person who ordered. Never mind that I had the order number, name and physical address, I must have the email address. I gave my email that is linked to my Amazon account, but no, not good enough. Please tell me why having the sender's email account is relevant to filing a delivery complaint?

And then disconnects the call! So I get an email with RETURN instructions and a delivery date of 1/13 which isn't what I was told and is over a month away!

    I was a Prime member from 2002 until December 2021. Prior to November 2020, the service was exemplary, and I never had an issue. However, since the pandemic, I've had nothing but problems from Amazon Customer Service and delivery. Drivers have dumped packages and perishable groceries in public areas around my apartment complex, thus leading to theft of multiple residents' property and shady characters casing the area. They have also made rude, bigoted comments to people with disabilities who have issues with transporting packages from said public areas to their apartment buildings.

    As for me, I have worked with Amazon Logistics and several members of the Executive Customer Service to absolutely no avail. About half of the time, the drivers have actively chosen to ignore clear directions and/or do not speak fluent English, so they refuse/cannot communicate. I've been told that it's not their problem and they have refused to assist whatsoever, even when I have caught their representatives changing the entry directions without my consent. If you live in Broomfield/Interlocken, you're better off buying from Walmart or Target. Delivery is spotty at best, and the drivers are xenophobic and rude. It's not worth $150/year.

    I have two Amazon Prime accounts all being used by my immediate family and we never had problems. Generally speaking, I only purchase off Amazon if I really need something as I’ve decided to no longer give Amazon more of my business for two reason: 1) I became a seller on Amazon and it was the biggest nightmare of my life and 2) they have banned my regular buying account from ever posting reviews.

    While there are decent sellers on Amazon, nearly 70% of them are sellers from China whom Amazon still allows to harass buyers, allow them to continuously post fake reviews, fake their metrics, fake their ranking and overall, sell cheap quality products with ugly branding. They’re all the same products but with different logos and a gibberish name. Sellers from China do not pay high duties like USA sellers and they also do not pay taxes or contribute to USA’s economy! This allows them to siphon money, cutting off the middleman and offering customers poor quality products (with poor quality control) at low prices which many customers now are accommodated to so retailers cannot compete. The sellers are foreign millionaires while USA-based sellers on average, making $10k a year with a lot of work. These foreign sellers are also aggressive against honest USA sellers.

    Selling on Amazon was a complete nightmare. It was complicated and extremely expensive. It was much easier to invest in a different business model. Advertising fees are high, Amazon’s selling fee percentage is high, everything is confusing and poorly done. Seller support is a nightmare and they have too many bugs. If a customer decides to rip a seller off, the seller is out of pocket for the entire item. Amazon has full control and very rarely actually help sellers (who are the ones that make them money). You will pull your hair out dealing with anything regarding selling on Amazon! Once your product drops below 4-stars, it will barely sell, which shows that 4.5-star products are not truly rated honestly. They’re faked because Amazon doesn’t let you sell with low ratings so many sellers fake it yet Amazon punishes fake reviews.

    Amazon will ALWAYS be run by Chinese sellers and will always have counterfeit products and fake reviews. While Amazon has tried to crack down on this, they have banned numerous innocent buyers from contributing reviews due to the poorly implemented bots that flag anything you’ve done unintentionally. I’ve been permanently banned as a buyer and reaching customer service was a nightmare as they always give canned responses or won’t tell you what you did wrong.

    I can no longer write reviews, my previous reviews for the past 11+ years have been deleted, I can no longer ask product questions and my entire family was also punished. Ironic, as Amazon offers a Vine Reviewer program, where Amazon incentivized reviews to get their OWN branded product ranked high. This Vine reviewer program is also available to sellers but you have to PAY then give away your item for free potentially getting a few Karen-like buyers who will give you a poor rating because they didn’t like your product or they give 5-star ratings for high-ticket items that they didn’t pay for. Extremely shady!

    Stay away or lower your contribution to this company. They’re an aggressive monopoly. I’ve never been treated so poorly as a merchant and a buyer and trust me, I sell on a lot other platforms with very few problems and I buy on other websites where they don’t flag me like I’m some sort of criminal. Don’t let some “amazon guru” tell you selling on Amazon is easy money, it’s not. If it was, they wouldn’t be selling a course about it. Adding to the fact they treat their employees poorly. Amazon overall is a bully and I hope more people will see it and stop buying from them!

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy M12 and after receiving the delivery of the product I received detergent soap instead of Samsung Galaxy M12, and the customer support team is giving the same reply every time. “Sir our investigating team has investigated the whole incident and they come to the conclusion that we have sent mobile phone only not an detergent soap”. This was my last online order and from now will prefer to support more retailers rather than these fake online platforms.

    Amazon has horrible customer service when it comes to return where we purchased from a third party seller on Amazon website. First of all, when you call in amazon customer service, he/or she whom answered can only give you their first name (without any tracking number or case number). They will promise you that the return was process, but after a week, there was no email from the seller. In which I have to call Amazon the second time to raise up the same issue. They said everything is recorded in their system but, it was never true, because the second amazon representative was clueless and saw no note was written down.

    I have shopped on Amazon for years, and spend quite a bit of money monthly on their products. I pay for prime, for the 2 day free shipping. In the past 2 years, this has become a joke. I NEVER receive my items in 2 days, in fact I rarely receive them in a week. Some of them take 2 weeks. I have recently been ordering more from Walmart because I receive my items in 2 days (free shipping), and no extra fee. I have complained 2 different times and nothing has been done. If they can't get items shipped in a reasonable time, they shouldn't charge $130/year for free 2 day shipping. I've also received the wrong items a couple of times in the past few months, then I get to go to UPS - 30 minutes away - to return. Extremely disappointed.

    I purchased a product on Amazon for $495.00 and 3 days later I just happened to look at it again and the price had dropped $75.00, I called the support line and was told only that they do not do price guaranties! But not that I could return it for reason: 'better price elsewhere'. I was very disappointed as honoring price change refunds within 3 days of purchase is generally the norm at local retailers I deal with. So I decided that I would just return it and go buy it locally to not support this unfair practice and when I saw that there was an option to return it because: 'better price elsewhere' I took that option for the return. Amazon makes you pay the shipping when you return something for the reason 'better price elsewhere'. This cost me $18.53.

    After trying to find the item locally with no luck I decided to just go back to Amazon and purchase the item again for the much better price. So the lesson for me is that Amazon won't tell of this option when you inquire, but it is there, I sent the item back and that cost me a little but the better price more than made up the difference and I laugh now about how expensive this has to be for Amazon to handle the return item and the new shipping labels all over it, get it back into their supply chain and to send me another item, it would have saved Amazon and me much more to honor the price after 3 days and just refund the difference. This is a bad policy and a lot of people are getting ripped off due to it as Amazon will not volunteer the information about how to return the item for: 'better price elsewhere'!

    I purchased a product on Amazon from a company called Ontebo with the order fulfilled by Amazon. I returned the item as it wasn't what I expected according to the description but after the purchase I received a letter in the mail from the seller. It offered a $15 gift card if I submitted a 5 star review on the product. I purchased the product based on reviews that I now know were inflated which is not right.

    When I submitted my review about the offer of free money for a good review Amazon would not publish it as it wasn't entirely about the product. I was only trying to warn other consumers not to trust the reviews but I guess Amazon didn't see that as a valid reason to post it. Amazon should be doing something to protect their customers from purchasing items based on reviews that have been placed because of "bribes". This is the second time buying through Amazon that I've received offers of free products or money only if I were to submit a 5 star review.

They have the correct address and have delivered to the correct address in the past. I have called over and over and they claim to have corrected it only to deliver to another wrong house. I am astonished that a company as big as Amazon with as many employees as they have that someone cannot get this right. And it is absolutely pointless to include delivery instructions because the drivers pay NO attention to them. Something as simple as Google Maps will bring you to my door.

    Purchased storage Master Jumbo Vacuum bags to store comforters in May of 2021, however did not open sealed package until end of October 2021. Purchased from Amazon "Like new, but damaged package." Cardboard container came with approx 2" square hole punched thru bottom. Opened package to use jumbo bags to store freshly laundered comforter sets. Purchased electric vacuum pump to facilitate vacuum process as hand pump very difficult to use. Vacuum sealed four of eight bags; two of the bags re-inflated immediately. Bags did not hold a seal. Tried another 2 bags, neither held a seal. Tried the last two, both still sealed as of this writing. Called Amazon this date, explained circumstances, was told that 30 day window for return had passed but that I could remove sealed contents of the four working bags and return them with defective bags for a partial refund. You do the math - Amazon expects me to pay for and return defective product at cost to me.

    For years I have purchased birthday, Christmas, Mother and Father's day, and Hannukah gifts and other items well in advance of holidays, expecting these items to be free of defectives or that Amazon to replace or refund as part and parcel of good customer service.

And when pressed that the media will be contacted they came back saying 'occult' violates AUP. What does that even mean? Occult just means hidden. So they're literally making up stuff and this is coming from a multi-billion dollar organization. So they have left us no choice but to let the world know what they're doing behind the scenes.

    -late delivery
    -many issues with defective batteries
    -waited another two months for new scooter and another defective battery

    -this company refused to provide us with a FULL refund as advertised - defective products are fully refundable and also carry one year warranty. They only returned $900 from $4600 purchase.

    Their customer service is in China and you cannot call them. They are mixed up on their batteries which have a defective design flaw. The instruction manual states the batteries need charging at least once a month. Well, that's impossible when it takes two months to deliver them! The most disappointing is they lie and say they will provide a refund and do not honor their defective items. Amazon has now pulled the products from sale. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS RETAILER!!!

    On Thursday, October 27th, 2021 I purchased a $100.00 gift card from Amazon.com that was supposed to be delivered on the same day along with other items. Everything else arrived except for that. On Friday 10-29-2021 I checked the tracking on Amazon, they said that they ''attempted delivery at 06:28 a.m.'' that is false because I was awake. No one rang the doorbell or knocked on the door. I've contacted customer service and I've been given the run around saying that it will be delivered on Saturday, no one delivered anything. They delivered another order that I purchased but not the gift card.

    The gift card is to be given as a gift for someone else. Customer Service relayed to me each time I chatted with them via Amazon Chat that "they would arrange a report to delivery management to review the conversation and this issue for each report they receive will be investigated and the appropriate action will be taken." There has been no follow-up or when to ''truly" expect my order.

    They have delivery drivers that falsely state they've attempted delivery when they have not, and what I don't understand is why they won't just didn't leave the gift card package on the porch like they've always done the previous times? Even the other gift card I purchased on Thursday they left it on the porch along with the other orders as they always do. I pay for an Amazon Prime Subscription that does not deliver, they claim that I would have my card on two specific days and it has not been delivered. I feel that they're giving me the runaround and playing games with me. All I ask is to receive what I've purchased and if unable to deliver on those promises then they should clearly state that. They have taken $100.00 from me which is for a gift card and will not deliver my item and something should be done about it.

    Amazon makes fraudulent claims when it comes to paying customers receiving their packages but does not deliver. They will pretend that you will receive your items that you've ordered as promised by giving you false hopes by stating that "the order is out for delivery and you will receive your order today" then after 2 1/2- 3 days after they've gotten your hopes up with empty promises from waiting.... then they will say "we don't have any updates on the status of your order, will give you a refund." I do not want a refund, I just want my order as promised. That is Amazon's way of skirting responsibility. I used to brag about how good Amazon's customer service used to be, not anymore. The Customer Service has went downhill, and I'm not going to continue to pay for Amazon Prime that doesn't deliver on their promises, but instead recants on what was said.

    I used Amazon as always to send a package that was a gift for a friend. I rarely have issues outside of an occasional rep not knowing what they’re doing when they try to help you, or a postman is in over his head around the holidays. My problem here is Amazon using its own tracking service. It was never good and screams yes Bezos is cheap as hell and wants to fly more anatomically shaped rockets into space. The problem is you cannot track any item shipped by them all of a sudden. Their tracking app says you need to log in. It says go track it from any app or site associated with them. You do that and there’s nothing but what you already know on your order's page. This is shady big time and incompetent.

    I asked several agents to locate the package or merely give me updates through text or update their info. I cannot even find it on any site that says they have their info. This is unlike any normal carrier service. At least let me see current statuses of the package. This is normal with every shipping service even the pathetic DHL or UPSMI. Regarding logistics or parcels app they redirect you to the Amazon site. Useless and obvious misdirection because they don’t update packages anymore or dont know how to properly set up a tracking website or app.

    Each agent either misled me about this or didn’t know themselves. Two outright lied to me and another was as confused as me being why he issues me a refund because he knew it would be late. This never happened before, even with their crappy personal shipping. In the past, I was able to track even their packages on a site but now nothing. USPS and UPS which they usually use fine as usual tracking wise save for an occasional non updated scan but info is up. Here you get a tracking number vaguely saying shipped from Amazon and that’s it. No status updates of where if is, nor updates you can receive. Nada.

    This needs to stop and is quite alarming. I was issued a refund that was quickly rescinded by another agent who conveniently said the other agent was at fault and gave me a promotional credit only because of the other agent caring and feeling bad for the mess. He said it’s out for delivery so all you can get is a courtesy credit. Tracking says nothing but shipped by Amazon and shipped. No updates? Out for delivery nada on their useless order page. Was fine before when using USPS or UPS but with their shipping info you get jack except what anyone would know in their standard order page that now conveniently is never updated. Why?

    Essentially, It’s now lost when it was supposed to be delivered Friday and they say Sunday now but do not know where it is and won’t even let you attempt to find it. Unacceptable and shady. Another misleading agent covering up for their horrendous personal shipping and now it says on my order page hours after his lying messages that if one wants a refund do it on Sunday if it doesn’t arrive. In other words, they seemingly already know it’s lost.

    Thankfully I received promotional credit but a gift for my friend on her birthday. Being delivered evidently is impossible now even when ordered 4 days before it was to be delivered that day. Fix this mess and next time use USPS or UPS like the rest of us do. Logistics or whatever you used (which you don’t even exactly know or will not say) is a disaster. My one star is for the agent that issued the refund because he knew they messed up. Total disaster and feels like a sign of things to come. For Xmas, order early and pray.

    I’ve been a long time buyer from Amazon and I have never once had such a horrible experience with customer service! I purchased a gaming PC in January from a 3rd party seller that I later learned was damaged. Contacted the seller and the manufacturer and never got any responses so I contact a rep to request a partial refund acknowledging that I was past the 30 window. The rep approved the request and sent me the label and the shipping instructions. Seller tries to deny it stating they’d send the pc back if attempted.

    Pc gets sent back while I’m at work and is received on the 9th of September. It is now October 11th and the seller has not issued a refund or returned the PC like they said they would. I Contacted the seller and another rep who told me that I could file a claim and receive a partial refund if the seller didn’t respond. They even offer a refund from another order as compensation.

    When they didn’t respond two days later, I contact another rep and ask to go ahead with that claim like the other one stated. They tell me that I can’t because it’s past the 90 day mark and tell me that regardless I shouldn’t have sent the item back. So that warrants me losing $565 AND the item that I paid for, even though I received authorization to do so? Okay. I told her that the first rep that I spoke to told me that I could which she doesn’t acknowledge. She tells me that all she can do is email the seller and ask them to either refund me or return the PC. I ask her what my options will be if they don’t, and she says “there are none. There’s nothing you can do because you shouldn’t have sent the item back”. It’s been four days and like I predicted, no response from the seller. I’m not even sure she actually emailed them. At this point, I’m sick of being given the run around.

    And I find it funny that ANY time I try to bring up or question why I was given approval by other reps, or ask why and how the refund request got approved, also by an Amazon rep, if I was never allowed to do so, nobody wants to answer the question or acknowledge what the previous reps said. They’re fully aware that they’re scamming people and it’s honestly disgusting. Once I get this resolved, I’ll be sure to delete my account and never make another purchase from their site again.

    I have been shopping on Amazon since 2012 and have enjoyed shopping there until now. Amazon recently informed me that there were unusual activity* regarding my reviews and they would remove them. I then contacted Amazon and asked them to clarify and give me more details as I was absolutely dumbfounded by their accusations. Like most Amazon customers, we write product reviews just to help others to make informed purchase decisions.

    To my surprise, they refused to provide any specific information and seemed to escalate the situation further. They replied: ‘As a result of your inquiry regarding this action, we reviewed this case and our decision thoroughly and have come to the same conclusion. We will not restore this account's ability to contribute with Community content.’ What it meant was they removed all my previous reviews and banned any future ones. What really disturbs me is Amazon accusing me of wrongdoing and violating their community guidelines that I had no idea about but refused to provide any evidence or information.

    I then appealed my case again and sure enough they sent me this: ‘The email you received on 09-29-2021 was sent to you in error. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.’ They said they would restore my account's previously contributed reviews but as of this moment they haven’t done that. I am truly shocked by Amazon’s ‘strong arm’ approach that they could accuse anyone without providing any specific details, even though they weren’t sharing any information with other parties but me. This incident has caused a lot of confusion and frustration on my part. Customers who take the time to write reviews deserve better treatment than aggressive form letters sent out by what seems to be a robotic customer service centre.

    Anyway, I am done with writing Amazon reviews and will better make use of my time.

    * What does unusual activity mean?
    -- Elements of the account indicate a relationship with sellers, publishers, or other reviewers on the reviewed products.
    -- Reviews and ratings were posted in exchange for compensation, such as gift cards, product refunds, review swaps, or free or discounted products.
    -- The account requested free or discounted products in exchange for reviews and ratings.
    -- The account was created for the primary purpose of writing reviews and ratings that violates our policies.

    -- An unauthorized party may have accessed this account to write reviews and ratings.

    Note. Amazon has a program called Vine Customer Review of Free Product which the vendors provide people with free products through Amazon (eg. Sony X90J 65” tv retail for $1898 ca) to write an honest review. Guess what? 99.99% of the time people write four/five star reviews for free products. It looks to me Amazon is breaking their own rules by giving free products to customers in exchange of positive reviews. Shady business? You tell me.

I was given an option of gift card or refund my credit card. I chose gift card because it would've taken several days to receive the credit back to my card. Normally, if Amazon delivers the purchase, everything is fine. However, if they use a third-party shipper, i.e. DHL, FedEx, I might get it about a week to 2 weeks after ordering. Overall, I will continue to use Amazon. I use them mainly because they have products that I can't find anywhere else and a better prices. As a prime member, shipping is free. Years ago I would recommend Amazon to anyone. Now, I'm not too sure. Customer Service should be improved.

    These days anything you buy from Amazon comes from a 3rd party and this is how amazon plays the games of no returns or credits, amazon started good, but now, they have to pay for Jeff out of space ideas!!!
