    I am disabled, they said they would pick up a big heavy electric mop for me that I ordered and didnt work. They said twice it would be collected and it wasnt, and then said they wouldn't, they hadn't even come to collect it, and I had hours of messages back and forth trying to sort this out. I've cancelled my prime and my account, they don't deserve my money.

    Purchased patio furniture from Amazon. Not knowing it was a 3rd party seller. Ordered it on August 16 2020. Only received 1 box of 3. August 29 2020. Have not received the other boxes. Contacted Amazon customer service about the problem. They suggested A to Z claim. Which I did. Amazon has still not corrected to issue. I am still out over $777.00. That is what they say the A to Z claim is for is to receive full refunds from their 3rd party seller. That's a flat out lie. They keep saying it's still under review. For 2 months now and there is no way of contacting them. Their excuse is that it will penalize their 3rd party seller which they refuse to do. But yet I'm the one that is penalize. I'm the one out the money. I will be take my shopping to Walmart. Same online shopping just as cheap and free shipping with no subscription. Better customer service. Amazon won't even let you post a review about their 3rd party seller. Buyers Beware.

    Amazon provides little to nothing other than free shipping for its Prime members. Let's start with Amazon TV, anything really worth watching is going to cost you a rental fee. The rest of the movies are "D" rated. Everyone brags about same day shipping or next day shipping. In fact unless you live in a big city you wont get same day or even next day. I have had Prime for 6 years now and only 40% of the time do my packages show up when they are supposed to and never same day. I have paid extra for next day shipping and it actually took longer because the shipper didn't actually ship package for 3 days. Since they did ship next day (3 days after the fact) Amazon does nothing about it.

    The reviews? Mostly fake!!! Amazon is very protective of its sellers, if you have a bad experience you better write a very detailed acct and leave out any words that might get flagged. Even then Amazon will most likely Delete that negative review down the road if the customer complains enough. The return Policy is pretty good but Ebay's is Much better. In fact, since Amazon has gotten so popular most of what you purchase on Ebay is all free shipping and expedited shipping just so they can win over their customers again. The biggest Plus for Ebay is their sellers Try to give you the most for your money because they live off the feedback score. Ebay does Not sensor its feedback like Amazon!

    Someone stole my bank info in Amazon account to order goods. Once I found out I immediately tried to contact Amazon many times to avoid my money has been gone from my bank, but they were keep saying that I need to contact bank. After many emails and phone calls to protect my data and money, in the end, all they could do me was just account blocking nothing more. Long story short, with this insecurity, I could not use Amazon account anymore, so I ask them to delete my account. It has been 2 weeks, but they are keep dragging the action (Not deleting my account /data), not sending me the confirmation of cancelation. If you are lucky enough to use Amazon without any problem, it would be nice. However, once you have a problem like hacking, the situation will be really miserable.

    Recently I bought a laptop off of Amazon availing their exchange offer for an older laptop. The exchange form asks for the laptop's manufacturer, model, CPU information, and an attestation that the laptop is in normal working condition. On the day of delivery, the exchange is rejected by the delivery agent stating that the laptop is damaged. On inquiring further, he does not have a technically satisfactory answer on the nature of the damage as the laptop is working perfectly fine. Amazon didn't send a qualified agent who can verify the device's condition and rejected delivery with no answer whatsoever. So beware, do not use Amazon's exchange offer. They do not have qualified personnel to inspect devices and will reject delivery using any excuse at all.

    Since then I have dealt with Amazon many times and have had no issue with returns of handling problems. Prices are very good and find it saves me a lot of time shopping. The free next day shipping has changed so don't count on that. Also can't trust all the customer reviews, some can be phony setup by the merchant so do more investigating when looking to buy. Just keep in mind when buying check to see if there are any up coming sales/deals.

    I have a business (Beverly Hills) and I have a home (Los Angeles). Simple so far, yes. I want to order from Prime Whole Foods delivery and have the order delivered to my home address (Los Angeles). But going through the sequence of steps to do this, even when starting out with specifying the correct delivery address, the app is selecting the foods from the wrong Whole Foods store (Beverly Hills) which is typically understocked, and then sending this highly substituted order to my office address (Beverly Hills) instead of to my home.

    When a selection link is presented to change address, it only shows the Beverly Hills address instead of a number of other addresses that I know I have on Amazon. I have wasted hours at this point trying to make a home delivery order in order to save time, and have instead wasted over 2 hours. I talked to 2 people who couldn't help me, and referred me to the wrong numbers. Online Chat with another individual who couldn't help and also gave a wrong number to go to. I can't believe that Amazon online, which in most ways is one of the most sophisticated digital systems on the planet, is so completely lame in the Prime Whole Foods delivery. I do appreciate Whole Foods, but I am in a category with Covid-19 in which I have no inclination to actually drive to and enter their store to shop. I hope this communication makes its way to someone who can correct the absurd shortcomings of Prime Fresh, and Prime Whole Foods.

    Amazon-pr@amazon.com-this is the email that you can reach out to, if you need to submit a complaint even though all of the agents that I spoke to told me that there is no such thing. My Account was locked 15 days ago. I went through the process of submitting the paperwork that Amazon asked for and even called the customer service desk on Monday 8/3/20. The agent that helped me explained the situation and submitted a “form”. Once the form was submitted I was told that an account specialist would reach out within 24 hours. I waited the 24 hours and got no call or email from the account specialist. For the most part that is the game that I’ve been playing the last four days. I call an agent and they submit a “form” then they tell me to wait 24 hours. I called yesterday and the agent that I spoke to now tells me that I have to wait until Monday before I might hear something back from the specialist.

    At this point I was frustrated and requested to speak to a supervisor. I spoke briefly to a supervisor who told me that he was escalating the call. I was on the phone for 50 minutes and either the call dropped or I was hung up on. I called back and spoke to another agent for 20 minutes before I was hung up on again. I called back a third time and I was finally able to speak to a supervisor who was knowledgeable of the situation. She took the time to explain that the agents should not have continued to number one tell me that someone would call me within 24 hours because right now they are taking longer than usual. Number 2 they should have never kept submitting the “form” every time because when they do I lose my place online basically.

    She was very helpful and understanding. What is the most frustrating part is that I have spent close to 5 hours on the phone trying to resolve this issue. I should not have to spend this much time trying to figure out where the problem is. At this point I am done, like I told the supervisor I am done. I don’t want my account back. I no longer want to use Amazon music. I went back to Spotify yesterday. I don’t even want to be a prime member anymore. The only thing that I am asking for is for a refund for all of the movies that I have purchased with my amazon account. Don’t bother on trying to unlock the account. I no longer want it at this point.

    Maybe if anyone that I spoke to had been upfront about the wait time it would be different but the fact that they kept telling me to call back everyday and kept giving me the run around really pissed me off. The common answer that I got from all of your agents except from Susana (supervisor I spoke to last) was, "There is nothing we can do," really annoyed me.

    Like I mentioned above I DO NOT WANT MY ACCOUNT BACK AT THIS POINT. ALL I WANT IS A REFUND ON THE MOVIES THAT I PURCHASED WITH MY PRIME ACCOUNT. I do have all of the receipts and emails from the purchases that I made. I also have a 5 dollar gift card on my account that I no longer want. If you can reach out to give me a resolution that would be great. I no longer want or wish to keep calling everyday or every other day just to hear the same thing from your agents letting me know that there is nothing that they can do.

    I have had an Amazon account for years!! It sure would be nice and beneficial to know exactly which review(s) are supposed to be so "unusual", and that are supposed to be the problem! I haven't even written any reviews for a month, probably more. I can't even remember the last time I wrote a review or for which products. All reviews have to go through an approval process by Amazon before they are even posted "live" on Amazon, so why weren't any of these "suspicious" &/or "unusual" reviews "red flagged" and "kicked back" during this initial approval process? To me, this entire supposedly suspicious and unusual review blocking of my account seems very suspicious to me. After years of buying and leaving reviews, with zero problems on Amazon....then BOOM, suddenly, I'm just blocked, no explanation, Amazon doesn't even bother to notify me about any of this.

    I have left a few unbiased reviews for a free or discounted product offer, that a seller has included an offer/promotional card or label on their product to do so for the product I ordered from them. However, I have always disclosed this information in my review (just as have a lot of other buyers have done on product reviews they have left) and all of my reviews, no matter what I was offered or not offered have always been true and unbiased! I, myself rely on honest, accurate and unbiased reviews from other customers for products they have purchased on & off Amazon. I would never leave a false, untrue, biased, or inaccurate review, never!

    There are already too many false, fake, and biased reviews out there for products &/or scammer sellers on and off Amazon! That is another reason why I disclose in any review I write, if a seller has "solicited" me to write a review (because I feel this is somewhat unethical) and in fact, I will leave a more critical review for that product. I have several of these offerings right now, that I have not reviewed. If this is not allowed on Amazon, then why doesn't Amazon penalize and block the sellers and their accounts from being able to sell their product on Amazon?

    Why is the buyer/customer being penalized? I have seen so much of this in other customer reviews for years (obviously it wasn't/isn't a problem because all those reviews are visible and have not been removed or blocked by Amazon)! It seems like 80% of everything I have purchased in the past year has come with some sort of solicitation included....This is a Seller problem and not a buyer problem! Buyers have Zero control on what a Seller includes with their product when it's shipped out to them! So again, why would Amazon be blocking Buyers?

    One more thing I Just found out and would like to bring to everyone's attention! I just looked and every single product that I received a solicitation card with the product or solicitation directly on the product itself, and that I still have the solicitation info for was Fulfilled and Shipped directly from/by Amazon! If this is against Amazon policy it would then seem that Amazon needs to get their own "house" in order and stop penalizing their paying customers for solicitation material that their very own Amazon employees are putting in the product packages before shipping them! I have canceled my Prime account and other Amazon subscriptions and will not be placing any further orders through Amazon. As I am sure Amazon wouldn't want to have any further business relationship, with an all of a sudden, "suspicious" and "unusual" buyer.

    I’ve been a customer of Amazon.com since its inception. I LOVE the fact that you can go to one site and get almost anything, from groceries to books, to obscure items that are hard to find. I’ll continue to be a customer so long as the competitors are more limited, BUT I do find myself spending more money at competing sites these days. It’s becoming more and more clear that Amazon is more concerned about the bottom line these days than the customers. Let me share a few examples:

    I’ve been looking for some high quality face masks. Obviously, N95’s are being reserved for front line workers, as it should be. The next best thing, KN95 masks, are made in China. And while there are factories in China that make masks that meet all the guidelines of the FDA and most medical institutions, there are no rules in China that prevent OTHER factories from making masks in unsanitary conditions out of substandard or even toxic materials. Over the years we’ve seen toxic pet food and toys and even human dinnerware come out of China, so I’m not buying ANYTHING made there unless I can verify its quality. Amazon is no help there. There are masks on the site advertised as meeting FDA or NIOSH standards, but if you look at the government lists of companies whose products qualify, they’re not on the list. Amazon apparently doesn’t do much to verify claims about its products.

    Also, they no longer allow people to email customer care. For an issue like the above, I want to express my concerns, but I don’t want to spend time on the phone or on hold, or be glued to my computer on chat. Even when I’ve tried to bypass hold times by signing up for a callback, I’ve gotten the call only to wait on hold for a customer care person anyway. I also don’t like chat—sitting at my computer waiting for someone to read and reply to my comments, especially when I just want to drop a comment and then check in later for an acknowledgement, and no actual conversation is necessary.

    Apparently Amazon has decided that email is less efficient FOR THEM, and their customers can just cater to their convenience. And then there are just petty unnecessary annoyances, like today I got an email from Amazon.com saying I qualified for $3 off certain select books. I am an avid reader so I clicked the link to find out what books were available for the discount, only to get a notice that I DID NOT qualify for the discount (and yes, I did verify it was legit Amazon before clicking the link, and I have two-step verification set up). Why did I get the email, then? Why did they put me through the hoops only to deny something they offered?

    Long story short, while Amazon is still a great resource for lots of things, customers are having to put up with more hassle these days with fewer recourses to address their problems. The people, when you finally reach them, are still great, but Amazon itself doesn’t seem to be as user friendly as it once was. Normally, I’d actually email these comments to them first, but... well, there you go.

However, trying to have my item shipped to an Amazon Jelly Bean locker is difficult if not impossible. I want my order shipped this way to prevent "porch pirates" from getting away with my package. When I wrote a review on the product I ordered, I gave them a 5 star rating, but mentioned in the review that I was not happy with the Amazon Shipping Dept. and they refused to publish it. Apparently they do not want any disparaging remarks made about their company. That defeats the whole purpose of a review. There is no credibility in a review where anything negative is filtered out. I spent about 2 hours looking for a way to contact them by phone or email to get my problem resolved, but to no avail.

    Smashed DVDs and CDs. Torn, warped books. Clothes that has obviously been worn before. Paying extra for SET TIME delivery and items not showing up. Drivers who do not follow instructions. Where do I start? I pay for Prime. Delivery ends up taking longer and longer each order... Why do I pay for Prime? Drivers just throw packages on porch as far away from your door as possible. The prices keep going up and down throughout the day on every item in my cart. Amazon will not allow you to review their horrible packaging (which is basically just throw an item in a flimsy envelope) and actively tries to squelch bad product reviews.

    Ebay is not perfect, but the mailman at least puts my item in my box. And the Seller is held accountable through Ebay's Feedback system. Be it poor packing or lying about a product. Why pay for Prime... Amazon always has an excuse as to why your item will not arrive when promised. Stop promoting political agendas and start doing your jobs. Ebay literally offers all the same stuff! And who cares about your crappy TV service?

And then you receive orders from China (seeds) of which you take to your local County Agriculture Office. Well you get the picture.

More than 2 weeks had elapsed with no credit appearing on the credit card used for the purchase, so I called customer service. It turns out that returns aren't credited to the card used, but to an Amazon gift card. Subsequently, I asked to have the gift card balance transferred to the credit card on file and used for the purchase.

    I was told this was not possible because another purchase had been made. This was true and the payment method specifically chosen was the credit card on file not realizing there was a gift card much less one with a balance. According to Amazon's customer service representative Amazon uses the gift card first even though I specified my credit card and because they had, they wouldn't transfer the gift card balance to the specified card.

    I'm very disappointed in their shipping, I pay for Prime, and expect to receive what I pay for, I can accept 3 days. Why is that EBAY can get 4 huge truck tire to my door in 3 days, but Amazon can't send an eye bolt in 30 days? Or Secondipity can't send a huge miter saw in 2 days to my door, but Amazon can't get a pair of crocs to me in less than 30 days? Yeah, Covid19 is flaming, but it hasn't slowed anyone else down! Order lost, order delayed, missed multiple shipping dates, package delivered, not received, it's ridiculous, there is no excuse, they should have had a contingency plan in place for such events.. Period! I'm going back to EBAY, they have everything Amazon has, and most time cheaper.

    Fed up with Amazon late shipments. Been off and on with good to crappy service for over 2 years. This time around packages are just sitting in warehouse, but indicate as lost. 1 of 17 arrived 2 weeks later. All others are still 'lost'. The issue is they do not re route packages when road closures or other hazards exist, they just keep them in warehouse, and dont report updates on them. There is mystery into why the systems indicate a package is lost, when it is just being held in a warehouse. Amazon does not reroute packages when they are in a flood, or storm or a fire. They just will have them sit. No indication of effort to reroute.

    I am in a fire area a few towns away. I still get USPS packages, FedEx, and UPS. They figured out ways to reroute packages to another town first. They gave me indications of where my package is. I no longer believe Prime service has any true value. I would recommend people try to figure out how not to need Amazon Prime, and to drop this crappy service as soon as possible. Even on one of the packages that I requested a refund on I had to wait a week and a half for item to appear to ship and be routed back to seller before refund was granted, even though the package was said to be lost in transit. Amazon needs to communicate better with us, and keep its word to our guaranteed service we are paying for.

    I will start by saying we love Amazon overall and we bought over 60,000 last year. Typically we like them because they are fast, dependable and we hate to shop but lately since COVID the orders get slower and slower and we have an enormous Amazon warehouse in my backyard. Here is an example. I bought a floor polisher on September 14th and it said free delivery by September 17th. OK, three days, we pay for two days but I can live with three days. Then I just look and now it says that it will arrive on September 23rd and then if you look at the product again it says it will be delivered by September 20th!! REALLY, WHAT AM I PAYING FOR???? I thought we paid to get two day shipping. Blame it on COVID, SURE, UPS still has two day delivery!!!

    It's not just this order. We wait for items probably an average of over a week and I am getting ready to shift my online business from Amazon to either Walmart or Target. When I call to complain I am put on hold for very long periods and when they finally answer I get the "we are so sorry for the inconvenience" Then they offer to credit my account 10.00. I don't want the ten dollars (I wasted more than 10.00 worth of time on hold). What I want is SERVICE THAT I PAY FOR!!

    Amazon, after not replying via email nor their 3rd party vendor by email who I bought a desktop computer through, finally took my phone call. I purchased a desktop which did not work right; it was very slow almost at all times. I asked for a refund and vendor provided me what I paid less $340 with no apparent reason explained... even though what they shipped me is exactly what I shipped back to them. Now, a month later, Amazon after finally taking my phone call, is investigating and has advised it will take at least another two weeks or perhaps more to provide me an update. Why would they take a $340 amount out of what I paid when I returned everything to vendor, you've got me. Nothing EVER advised to me about the reason.

    Amazon associate I spoke with on 9.15.20 seemed to be appalled/amazed/understanding, yet she told me clearly 'you may or may not receive the remainder of what you paid from us.' Why would I have EVER bought a product like this, essentially defective and returned to Amazon's vendor especially when nothing was ever mentioned about fees for returning defective or non-working products, you've got me. I would have never gone to Amazon had I known they'd sell me something of poor quality, then provide me much less than a full refund. Buyer Beware of AMAZON and DELCA ELECTRONICS.

    NOTE: there are many very good companies, much smaller than Amazon, that do an even better job than Amazon. Amazon is okay but, on average, you're dealing with a corporate mentality... Kind of like 'average' government mentality...where you have to push and push because, if you don't since much of government especially Federal is so blase/average/typical/less than truly caring, you won't receive decent, again 'decent', services otherwise.

    Be careful. Amazon is charging on the customers cards fraudulently. I called them to complain and then I found out that the reason the customer cannot see the charges is because they hide them on the archive section. They are also posting 5 star false reviews on their product using the customers' names. It's a big scheme. Check your bank and credit statements! Also check orders under the archive section.

    Want an account with Amazon? Easy! Blink your eyes three times, flash them a credit card--and--Voila! You are IN! Want to cancel your Amazon account? Easier said than done. There is a TWELVE STEP process you have to go through to cancel an account. And, if you make the teeniest, tiny mistake during that process, you have to start all over. Plus, once you make contact with Amazon via phone, chat or email (one of which you must do), and if, for some reason you are disconnected, you have to start the 12 step process all over again!

    Why doesn't Amazon allow you to simply cancel your account? Because Jeff Bozo (nee Bezos) will do anything to squeeze as much money out of you as he can, and if you are not a customer, well... There are hundreds of online merchants who have lower prices. Do some research, check out: Walt-Mart, Target, eBay, etc. etc. Do yourself a favor, quit buying from Amazon.

    USED to love Amazon, for over 10 years even, until they didn't love me back when I had ONE legitimate issue in ALL that time. Someone hacked into one of my "Amazon-associated devices" as they said yet they won't tell me which one nor will they tell me the IP address either of course. The fraudster bought over $1,000 worth of equipment using my credit card on file and because the order was made from one of my devices, Amazon says it's a LEGITIMATE order that I AM RESPONSIBLE for paying!!! WOW!!

    Of course I called my credit card company to dispute this right away and as soon as they took the funds back from Amazon, only then did Amazon even respond to me about the issue. And the response? A DEMAND letter which they now email me every day saying to let them know which of the cards on file that I'd like MY purchase billed to and saying they have closed the account until I pay for MY fraudulent charge!!! I even got a police incident number for the fraudulent order just to help prove my case that I DID NOT PLACE this order and NEVER received the merchandise! It wasn't even shipped to an address I've ever heard of!!!

    By the way, the shipping address it showed their driver RELEASED the order to wasn't even a valid address but they didn't bother to call me even though my phone number even shows on the shipping address!! So, if this ever happens to you, might as well kiss your Amazon access goodbye since they will hold it hostage until you pay for YOUR fraud. In their eyes, if it's on your device=you made the order. Unbelievable and a new low for money-hungry Amazon- they obviously don't value the HUMANS behind their customer accounts AT ALL.

    I ordered items and selected a particular payment option. Yet for some reason the funds were taken from another listed account and not from the account I selected. I contacted Amazon immediately upon discovering this (within minutes); several times regarding this matter and other account issues. I was told that the items were canceled and would not ship and this was a financial "hold" on my banking account. Meanwhile the other concerns I had would be escalated.

    Days later my bank noted this as a "posted" transaction. Later that day the items arrived. Each of my concerns were met with an escalation. Each of the escalations were followed by a generic email, only 1 of which addressed my specific concerns; with no option to communicate with a live agent. I should not have to ship all of these items back and reorder later. The billing dept should use the correct banking acct I selected. It will cost them more for me to ship theses 13 items back, me to reorder, and for them to reship them.

    Lesson learned: DO NOT STORE YOUR BANKING INFO WITH AMAZON. After receiving your items, delete all financial info. DO NOT EXPECT A LIVE AGENT OR A SPECIFIC RESPONSE WITH BILLING AND ESCALATIONS. All of my escalations were followed by generic emails that are sent to millions of other people. The only thing specific in the email is my name. Issues still not addressed or resolved. When you call back to discuss the generic email, the agent escalates your concerns. Your escalation is followed by another generic email that still does not address my specific concerns.

I am definitely not calling them again, you have to explain your problem twice (once to customer service and once to logistics), and all they do is amend the written instructions and have the driver call on the very next delivery.

Then you call customer service who credits the money, offers you a 10$ credit then requests all drivers to call when delivering. I get a call at 5:55am and a text saying cant deliver again, most people are not up at that time.

Then after it ships amazon NEVER keeps to their promises, and ships my items as much as into three different packages!

    This is very frustrating 'cause I use a shipping company and I have to pay for the amount of packages I get. I message amazon then they sing a different tune telling me it’s not possible to ship in the same package, fine but stop making false promises and letting me think everything is planned out. And why can’t everything be shipped in the same package anyway? Just hold the other items till the one remaining arrives. Very disappointed in Amazon.

I know COVID has ruined a lot of things since the initial outbreak and Amazon has been trying to stay there for us but the company and service is really starting to become disappointing at this point. Monthly payments use to be cheaper and deliveries were a lot faster. At this point I pay more a month now to receive a package at the earliest in a week. For the past 6-7 months my packages have taken several weeks to receive IF I even received them. I have had to have a few refunds because I had packages take over a month and I couldn't wait any longer.

    Today I had an issue with a package so I got on to my Amazon app to chat with a customer service representative. After the representative explained a few things about my delivery I took the time to explain the issues I have had the past few months with receiving my packages. I don't necessarily want money or credits. I want my packages to come in a timely manner otherwise what's the point of paying for a prime membership that I am not actually receiving. After explaining my hardships to the representative he offered a monthly payment to be refunded to me just out of his kindness. I requested a survey and gave him a great rating and right after doing so I received an email stating my membership has been cancelled.

    Now my mom has been with Amazon consistently for MANY years now and has built a great relationship with amazon and definitely gets a lot of perks like being sent samples just to try out and give reviews was s which is great. So, I have been trying to be consistent and build my relationship with amazon and not miss any payments so I can build that relationship and maybe have some additional benefits at some point. Now, after having my membership so long even with some struggles to ensure I am able to make those payments while we are in the middle of a pandemic, the representative cancelled my membership instead of d of just giving me a refund or credit on my account. After having so many issues for half a year this really adds the cherry on top.

    There is no way to reinstate my membership and now it looks like I am just a new customer and after everything I have been through with amazon this is just so upsetting. It makes no sense to be punished in a way because of a stupid mistake an employee of Amazon has made. If they have the ability to cancel they should have the ability to reinstate a membership if issues like this happen and with amazon being so advanced, they should have the ability to do so. Honestly, with everything I have been through with Amazon the last 6 months or so, I am not sure what can turn this around. I will tell you refunds and credits is not something that makes me happy and I am not sure amazon is really worth anybody's time anymore if this is the service they provide when they advertise the complete opposite and use to provide such a better experience.

I live on a military base and for some reason the Amazon carriers do not have access. They could access the base if they are driving a commercial vehicle, have the Real ID and pass a background check.

I have had to cancel orders, wait on a refund or place another order. Now, when I place an order I have to select a Prime Day, which is typically a week out from the order date and hope that it will be shipped USPS. It is ridiculous that Amazon will not fix this issue.

    I have contacted Amazon several times regarding this issue and they will not change my account to non-priority shipping. If Amazon did change my account, I could receive my orders via USPS again. I can't wait to move to a more populated area, so I can cancel my Prime Membership. So sad to cancel, but Amazon doesn't care.

    It is so frustrating to receive a confirmation order or ship email, or refund email, with zero information about the product in the order. The only information you get is an order number. This is ridiculous. Every other company online gives some clue about what the product is you ordered in their email. And many show photos as well. It's really cumbersome to find your order with the order number. You have to go down many layers, and then back all the way up to find another order.

    I hate it. Now I order from Walmart, or Chewy, or Kohl's, Bealls, CVS etc. just so I can receive emails with useful information. Then if I want to search for my last order of blue jeans, I can just search my emails. But not with Amazon. They are so behind the times. It's getting just too frustrating to order from them. I buy only online, and I have tons of emails.! I need them to be useful.

    I ordered two Sealy pillows from Amazon on August 7th, given my Prime membership (which is a completely useless word now, including the videos, that are just as useless to me) the pillows were supposed to arrive on August 10th. On August 13th, still haven't received the pillows, I contacted Amazon to find out why the shipment status said "UPS is ready to accept the package". Their customer service gave me four different versions and reasons for the order not having arrived, I kept at it.

    It took three more days and three more phone calls and chats to find out that the pillow were lost in transit. The way amazon "corrected" this issue is by filling out form and requesting a refund for me, which I still didn't get. I got a runaround every step of the way and at no point did they even attempt to try and fix the problem by shipping pillows from elsewhere, even though they have them, they're on their website, available for purchase. Their Lasership service loses and damages my packages, their customer service takes weeks to process exchanges and refunds.

    I would also like to mention that their chat-based customer service is completely useless, they're rude, inattentive and completely and utterly incompetent. I've bend shopping with Amazon for well-over a decade but, based on the mishaps that occurred this and past year, I am now forced to re-think my shopping strategy and find a new retail outlet.

    Flawed return processing- inept customer service. I order from Amazon a half dozen times a year and for over a decade had no issues and no returns that I recall. On July 28, I returned two moth traps thru UPS store purchased for wrong type of moth. Immediately received email saying one refund was being processed and other would be upon receipt of item. I left for a cross-country trip. Thirteen days later, second refund had yet to be processed. UPS said to call amazon and they would take care of it.

    Spent 40 min on phone- first with a rep who could not help and escalated me w/o giving details to a supervisor with whom I had to start from scratch. She could not help at first and I became quite agitated over the ridiculousness of the situation- especially after she asked me how UPS had shipped the items. (How would I know that!!) After I became entirely frustrated, she finally used her “resources” a second time to confirm the product had been received Aug 3!! Then she said it would take up to 10 business days to refund. Yes, I exploded and threatened to write a complaint letter, after which she “found” a way to refund in 3-5 days. Ok. 40 min of incompetence and aggravation....

    Original Review: Aug. 13, 2020

    To Whom it May Concern, Why is Pearson Vue providing such poor customer service experience, LYING and DECEIVING their online proctored exam CUSTOMERS? Especially wrong during this Covid-19 pandemic, where they are making loads of money from us... It’s ABUSIVE, we need better and more online proctoring options from Amazon… If anyone has had any experience with anything similar, please escalate and push through social media, also go to consumer affairs and other consumer agencies. He are the many faults this Pearson service has:

    I scheduled an exam to take on August 7th and did everything Pearson asked me to do. I was ready for the exam on August 7th, followed all the proctored instructions, including having cables attached to my computer. 20 minutes into the exam Pearson Vue APPLICATION DRAINED MY BATTERY, which was at a 100%. Prior to the exam. I had to plug in the power and reconnect, I thought it was over, since it took at least 5 minutes to get back on. But the proctor understood and allowed me to resume my exam. This was probably the only positive experience from this ordeal…

    But things took a turn, as I am past my 50+ question, I hear my kids in the background and they usually open the door to my office, my office to hi or something. I looked for the chat but it was gone from sight (FAULTY APPLICATION DESIGN, chat should be always available and visible). I ensured that my office door and myself were in the camera’s view at all times and scrolled my seat back to put the lock on the door (I did not get off my seat and I was in the camera's view at all time. The proctor (a different one), just revoked my exam, I tried to explain to her my intention, but she was just RUDE. So isn’t ironic that Pearson Vue does not cancel my exam because of their FAULTY APPLICATION DRAINING my BATTERY and it took approximately 5 minutes to get back online (I was completely out of site then…), but they will if I pull away from the computer (still insight) for a couple of seconds...

    The same day I called Pearson Vue customer service and spoke to a representative about this NASTY EXAM taking experience. I spoke to a representative called Matt or Max. He spoke to his supervisor and they said they will reschedule my exam and that I should wait for an email. A couple of days later, NO email with the confirmation of the exam rescheduled. I called again and actually spoke to the same rep. named Matt or Max. He again spoke with his supervisor and this time not only did they say I would get an email with the reschedule, they also even gave the date and time August 17 at 11:30 am I would take the exam.

    I checked a couple of days later and still no email and I checked my AWS account and the exam shows as invalidated. This time I used Pearson Vue chat support and they told me that they had changed their mind and invalidated the exam and will not be rescheduling the exam and if I wanted to talk to a supervisor I need to call the support number AGAIN or escalate to Amazon. So now this is beyond the exam, Pearson Vue LIED to, and DECEIVED not just its customer, but Amazon’s customer as well. This is something else now.

    I spoke to a representative named Ruby and she just echo the same as the chat representative did and told me if I want to escalate to go to Amazon. Pearson Vue must be making a lot money from us to not care and delegate responsibility to Amazon for their FAULTY APPLICATION DESIGN, RUDENESS, NASTYNESS, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, LYING, DECEIVING, WASTING CUSTOMER'S TIME. Btw, this is in reference to case #**.

    I usually have good experiences with Amazon. But this has been bugging me for a long time. Earlier this year, I noticed that I was missing some books on my Kindle. I went to my cloud and they weren't there either. Contacted Kindle service and explained the situation. They just gave me instructions on how to download books from the cloud. I told them I know how to do it, but I'm missing the books that I purchased. Again, they gave me the same instructions. Then they say call them which I couldn't do that because of the quarantine or use one of their links which didn't work.

    I went back to all my purchases (and didn't include all of them), created a spreadsheet and sent it to them showing all the books I purchased but are missing from my cloud. Again, they gave me the same instructions. Then they said they wanted to talk to try and understand the situation. How cIear could I have been? I told them I give up. I lost over $500 in books. I mean, couldn't they go to my purchasing history and put them back in my cloud?

    I bought two different products from Amazon. They shipped them in one package. Both products were from China. I found them from another online website too much cheaper (5$ vs. 14$). When I wanted to return the product, I was expected to pay the shipment for one package. But it was silly. They reduced the shipment payment from each product separately, i.e., 6.5$ for each. It means that even for returning the product, they made a profit (the real price of the product was 5$, they sold 15$, when I wanted to return, they deduct 6.5$). I decided not to buy anything from Amazon. I believed that their approach was not moral.

When I contacted Amazon customer service, they advised me the Fire will only run Amazon apps purchased through their store.

All I had to do is become a Prime member. So thinking that I'd get faster services and delivery I became a Prime member hoping my package would be delivered the next day like it advertised. 4 days later no package. Nothing. I was so furious I just didn't want the item anymore. I ask online support where was my package and if it wasnt gonna be a one day shipping then why do they advertise it. They tried to buy me off with a $5 promotional credit. Really $5. That just made me more furious. I then asked why am I being charged for services that I'm not getting if I knew it was gonna take this long to get my package. I would of just ordered it regularly.

    Amazon then tried to buy me off with $10 credit. $10 really! I was more furious and decided I want to cancel my prime membership and order and want a full refund and they told me I had to wait 3 to 5 days for my refund. Really. How much more will Amazon make me have to wait. Wow. From my personal experience amazon is a scam. They sucker people to becoming prime members for the same services as a non member.

Now it’s worse, I never know anymore when our orders are going to be delivered and tracking is never kept up to date. Amazon says it’s the US Postal Service who’s to blame but dang it I’m purchasing from you. We’ve been an Amazon Prime customer since 2012.

We don't have a printer and right now our UPS store told us that printing a label costs $8.

    On 7/9 before 1pm, I placed a large order with several items through my PRIME membership. On 7/13, the day the items were due to arrive, the largest item did not arrive and when I called to inquire AMAZON had no record of my order AT ALL. After 3 reps ON THE PHONE and 1hr later, I am told that an email relating to lack of inventory was sent ON THE DAY THE ITEM WAS DUE TO BE DELIVERED approximately 5min into my call with customer care. So AMAZON tried to cover up their mistake when it was so clear that the email was sent after I brought the missing product to their attention and not once before that.

    So basically, AMAZON advertises items that are not in inventory and market their items intentionally to charge you and mislead you. I was jaw dropped that a whole item was removed from my order unbeknownst to me and that I was only advised on the day it was due to arrive which was approximately 4 days after I placed the order. incredible that AMAZON felt this was an appropriate response. AMAZON had absolutely no resolution it was basically "too bad for you".

    On 7/23 before 1pm, I am ordering another item but just the one in this order as I needed it for next day use. All the way through the order my screen is reassuring that I will receive my order tomorrow and even have up to two hours to make this decision. After I placed my order I receive the normal notification stating that I placed the order but conveniently, the order now states it will arrive 7/27. So yet again AMAZON schemes to get your money. When I called to escalate I was fed so much policy jargon I completely lost it.

    AT THE END OF THE DAY when we as PRIME members especially, place orders online, we expect them to arrive as promised, not to mislead us with HUGE PRINT that states it can be delivered next day with the words "GUARANTEED DELIVERY" in all CAPS and in GREEN FONT but in super micro front beside it is the word "details" in lowercase and parenthesis. Do you know that Amazon's resolve was to state that despite everything on the webpage stating this item would be delivered next day, "THE little details OPTION WOULD CLARIFY".

    So as any concerned and hard working consumer, I cancelled my membership as well as my 11 family members due to their very own similar experiences. AMAZON can no longer be trusted to deliver items as described and as promised. NOT TO MENTION THAT AMAZON NO LONGER VETS ITS SELLERS AS COUNTLESS TIMES I've had fake products sent to my home. These items are usually not even half the quality so we as PRIME members sit tight for 2-5 days after our money is collected to send us anything but what we ordered.

    COUNTLESS REVIEWS ON AMAZON WILL SUBSTANTIATE THIS CLAIM. Simply go to amazon.com (even if not a member) and search for any basic household item like a lotion or soap.. Read the reviews under the brand you typically by in your local store and you will see HUNDREDS OF THESE CLAIMS. Now that people are being honest, AMAZON and its sellers refute the reviews! I gave a 5 STAR REVIEW for a facial toner that went up in price from $20-$50 and I noted this in my review as well. The seller disputed the review! At this point, it is abundantly clear we cannot rely on amazon's integrity nor its sellers to be forthcoming and honest in their business. I no longer support Amazon or Bezos.

Amazon better figure out who they let sell on their website. So I order another pool, and actually they sent me an email stating that the product would be here sooner than expected, which was one week.

    One week came and still no pool, so I inquired about it and they quickly charged my account and then send an email that my shipment is delayed.... What in the rip off hell kind of business dealing is this? And even better I request a cancellation.... then they send me an email stating that they cannot cancel it because it’s is probably shipping now, and when I check on it it show that it is delayed and has not shipped.

But their screwed up tracking system WILL NOT TELL YOU THIS. After having to call on many packages UPS claims to deliver to you, to find this out

    It seems that ALL TRACKING SYSTEMS SUCK. None of them are even close to delivery times anymore. They weren't that good before pandemic, and now they just suck at it, so much for the automated systems.

    This company is all about lies and manipulation. Their expected arrival dates are a lie, and their tracking system is fake. They make it up themselves. Just check the tracking number with the real carrier for yourself, and you'll see. Whatever you order, you can count on it being late, or not arriving at all. At that point they'll patronize you to death. Anything to maximize their profits, and screw the customer. I will definitely think five times before I EVER order from Amazon again. To top it all off, they don't let you leave a bad review either. Sharing the truth with the public is not allowed. Just more of their lies and manipulation.

    I purchased headset "Jabra headphones" from amazon.com and paid in full using my Credit Card. They did not deliver anything and I am sure they cheated us and they might be taking this kind of money from millions of users and not giving them anything, by doing this, Amazon collects large sums and uses for stock buying etc. They are insisting and pushing us to go elsewhere to get resolution, go to Sheriff's office, police station, take down badge number, contact details of office, and they might need his family details too before Amazon can make a common sense that no one signed the package, amazon doesn't know if the person who received the package was male or female. No signature taken and property is a house where everything registered is a must sign like we see in movies. Amazon doesn't have common sense? NO!

    Before ordering from this site you should know two main things, the customer support you will receive is prewritten from a script and not based in US. Also, they have a no price matching policy, no price adjustment policy for that they themselves sell. The fact that a company this large does not do that is very disappointing. Another to be very aware of is the price gouging. They are notorious for that and rarely take action to remove disgusting items like blue lives murder shirts.

    I received a delivery from Amazon 11 July 2020. I found the picture taken by the idiot Amazon driver interesting because you'll notice that the package is oddly placed to the right of my door. Why? Because this very unprofessional and disgusting delivery person had taken the time to perfectly center the package on top of a large dead bug that came from the woods behind my apartment yesterday. This bug is easily over a 1.5 inches in length and 1 inch in width. There was no way this bug was not seen by this **. This act was intentional with the purpose of being disrespectful and offensive. This is the poor level of professionalism that Amazon allows its jerk delivery staff to display with no repercussion towards its customers.

    Amazon locked me out of my account. The only thing I have done different is I used a different browser...Firefox rather than my usual Safari...to sign in. I usually don't even have to sign in since my passwords are stored. It stated I entered an invalid password...I didn't. The customer service team rarely speaks clear English so it is hard to understand them. Yesterday, they said I would be locked out until today and today they said it would be another 24 hours...no reason given. Their website asked for a verification of a credit card...but it wasn't a current card and was one I had shredded, so I didn't know the expiration date. If they had asked for one I have used recently it would not have been a problem.

    The customer service is not efficient and their techniques are not good. I have been a weekly shopper for years. They also asked what the last couple of items I ordered were...I order online all of the time...I had no idea, though I could have given them dates and charges from my credit card which didn't seem to interest them. Really a nightmare to spend money with them once locked out for no reason that they will state. Beware!!

    I had the worse experience with Amazon today (July 9th 2020 12:56pm). I've been a Prime member for a number of years now, maybe since they first introduce it. Lately I've spent thousands of dollars in the last twenty something orders. But for some reason lately my packages haven't arriving on time or as expected. So I decided to to call customer service and inquire. To my surprise the customer service representative was not nice and very unprofessional. So I've requested to speak with a supervisor. This woman was even worse. She refused to give her full name or some sort of ID, only goes by is Linda (who knows if she's telling the truth).

    So I've tried to explain my situation but her attitude and tone of voice taken me aback. I got no satisfaction about why my packages were late. So I asked her what is the point for me to have prime service if I can't benefit from it? I was under the impression that it should be two days shipping. To my surprise she said it two days from the date of shipping not from day of purchase. While I was going through my orders, some took two weeks and more before it was actually shipped out. She told me for some them it was even earlier than expected. So why I'm complaining? And the ones that got lost it has nothing to do with Amazon. My goodness. Some please explain to me if it's okay for a package to take so long to ship and I don't have the right to inquire? What madness is this? What about the missing ones? So I decided to cancel my membership and demanded compensation. Of course that went nowhere. Only the service being cancelled.

    I asked Amazon to contact a seller for me because no one can reach them. Because they sent me a sink with hot/cold lines that were not connected and with no instructions on how to. There seems to be no way without taking the faucet apart. The reviews have multiple complaints about the illegible instructions and no one to contact but they continued to allow them to sell on their site. Asked a question under the product and the answer I received is that it should be connected...I just wanted them to reach out to the seller to see if the faucet could be exchanged for a proper faucet. I tried to provide pictures of the faucet and instructions and I was provided an email by an Amazon rep that does not accept external emails. The only thing they will do is schedule a pick up for a refund...so I have to repackage it and wait for a refund and find a new sink..great customer service.

    I was initially told that I would not receive a full refund due to the pick up...but after being passed between several reps (oftentimes they will simply disconnect if you do not type fast enough) they stated that I would receive a full refund however I simply don't believe them. I also requested that they "vet" their clients or at the very least the reviews of the products on their site because I came across another product and the reviews for it were for another similar product but an entirely different brand. Also upon further checking the reviews for the sink (the first reviews were good but for all I know they were for another sink) it is clear that the instructions are terrible and the seller cannot be contacted. Oh at the very end they provided a link to contact the seller as a resolution. After.I.stated.that.they.could.not.be.contacted.

    So over the past week or two I've ordered about 7-8 items, out of all of those none were delivered on time. Most of the items I needed for work which only crippled me financially till they came. I read the expected dates, I look when they actually shipped so I can have a grasp when they're actually coming. EVERY single time they were delayed in the warehouse, scanned & shipped "Supposedly" not moving for days sometimes a week. "They were shipped from the truck to the docking bay"....(I used to work at UPS. I know how it works.) Then we all get this message. As it stays at the warehouse saying "Traffic delays". "Now expected June 29-July 7th". "We’re very sorry your delivery is late. Most late packages arrive in a day. If you have not received your package by tomorrow, you can come back here the next day for a refund."

    What's the point of having "Amazon Prime" if they can't keep their contractual obligation they made when people signed up for prime? "Two day Shipping Speed". Some items were offered as "The same day" which some of my packages were. You'd think they would address this with Covid going on. I'm not saying it's going to be what they promised but some notification like prime will take about 3-4 days long than expected due to Covid. On the the video portion of prime, yes there are some free tv series and movies..that most people don't want to watch..You can pay half that on hulu or something and watch several more season for free..2.99 episodes when it isn't included with prime...FYI Google charges half that.

Three hours later, a tenant knocked on my door with my packages. He said they were just laying in the lobby (unattended) along with other packages. He was delivering them because he would have wanted someone to do the same for him (my hero!) This is not the first time an Amazon driver has done this to me and other tenants.

    2. Prime TV. One of the reasons I signed up to Prime was to watch "Suits" on TV (I know I'm sad), it used to be Free and part of the Prime package. I watched series 1 to (partway to) 3 and loved the series but now Amazon Prime want extra money to watch any more suits. So they hook you in, then make a charge. It's a bit like saying the delivery will be free, but when the Courier gets halfway to your house then suddenly want extra money before making the delivery.

    3. The sound quality is very poor. There is a delay between sound and picture - Checked it with a friend and he has same problem. So when actors speak it's out of sync.

    Amazon does NOTHING to protect their customers from hackers nor do they keep their promises to refund the amount hacked from your account. You are promised to be contacted by the fraud department within 48 hours and you call them back NINE DAYS later to get the same empty promise. The entire time, they have yet to refund your money. You set up two point verification, same day get hacked again. You change the password, you still get hacked. They offer no blocks on purchases, no ability to transfer your video purchases to a new account to protect you, you either take the loss and cancel or keep getting hacked.

    Since outsourcing, or as they call it re-contracting, their shipping has become an excuse. Order a tablet, your bank account is charged, on the day it's promised it never shows. You check the order, it says indefinite arrival date because it is out of stock despite the website saying it was in stock when you ordered it. You call support and they say they are not responsible because the shipper hasn't restocked the item, and they have no control if it shows in stock or not. You cancel the order and wait 96 hours for a refund then go downtown and buy it off the shelf for the same price. If it weren't for the loss of all the video purchases on the Amazon Prime Video account, Amazon would be only a bad memory. If you haven't signed up, then DON'T.

When most people think of 2 day shipping, they expect their order to arrive in 2 days. Well, I'm sorry to say that this isn't the case. Here's one example.

When I got an email saying that my product would arrive on 7/5/20, I was really confused, I mean the only reason I didn't go to Petco or Petsmart is because I knew that I had 2 day shipping from amazon. Why was my order going to arrive 10 days after I ordered it when I pay a subscription fee every month for 2 day shipping? When I contacted Amazon they told me that the 2 day shipping starts after they obtain the order in their warehouse. Honestly, I probably could of got it faster without using Prime.

    I use Amazon.com often, and 99% of the time, they do an excellent job. With the volume of business they do, it is understandable that occasionally problems will arise. Recently, I ordered a twin size bed, which is a bulky item and more pricey than my normal orders. It had a delivery date of two weeks later (most of my orders I receive in a few days). When the item was not delivered on the date it should have been, Amazon's tracking info stated I would have to contact the delivery company, which I did. They never received the item from Amazon. So, I went to Amazon directly and found that the item made it to my city, but not to the delivery company. It was marked as lost.

    First of all, you don't just lose packages. Loaders sign for them, unloaders sign for them, and there is a driver or pilot in between. If the package was damaged in transit, or even if it did become lost or stolen, they should have reached out immediately to determine if I wanted to replace the item or get a refund. In talking to Amazon Customer Service, I chose to reorder the item, but I asked if I could have it sent like an Amazon Prime service with expedited delivery for my inconvenience. This doesn't sound like an unreasonable request under the circumstances, since I now have to wait another two weeks. They could not do that.

    In attempting to reorder, they said they were having problems reordering the item, so I would have to get a refund. That's not a big problem, but I've already received the mattress that belongs to this bed and a replacement would be better. At the very least, they could have maybe offered a $50 gift card or something to keep my business, but they did not do that either. So my refund was processed and I returned to the seller's page and reordered the bed - without any problems in doing so. Again, I will have to wait two weeks to see if that order makes it through. I just think that as big a company as Amazon is, they could handle problems a little better than this.

    I have been an Amazon Prime Member for years, and up until recently, it was my favorite Company for on-line shopping. However, during the devastating COVID 19 Pandemic when corporations scrambled to put rigid safety requirements in place, while continuing to make customer service a priority through “SHelter-In-Place” employees, Amazon failed to step up to the challenge and instead turned their back on me and many of my friends and family members.

    Prior to COVID 19, Amazon's Customer Satisfaction and Service was outstanding. Once the restrictions started, Amazon’s Customer Service was no longer available, phone contact was discontinued, and emails went unanswered.

    Despite this change, Amazon continued to accept orders and ship increased volumes of essential products, while leaving many customers without recourse in resolving order problems, delivery errors, or ability to return items. As of this date, 06.24.20, Amazon's customer service phone number message still says they are not answering calls. Their CHAT option is now with a computer, and does not seem to be able to solve problems or offer solutions.

    I spent two months trying to reach Customer Service at Amazon using numerous communication methods, When I finally got a response from a real person on Amazon's On-line "Call-Me" function, I explained to the Customer Service person that Amazon delivered my shipments, (as well as many of my friend's shipment's) to the wrong addresses, they delivered items previously cancelled, they charged me for subscriptions not ordered, and left me without a way to reach anyone regarding these errors.

    I explained that I have kept meticulous records, with printed proof of my timely order cancellations, including two large,multiple-item orders that were subsequently delivered to the wrong person in the wrong State. I stated that I have photos, screenshots, and cancellation receipts that support my claims. I explained that during the past few months, Amazon charged me for subscriptions not ordered, and denied me the previous on-line function of returning wrong items on the same day received. I offered to email or mail via USPS, over 26 documents proving my claim and my right to a refund from Amazon. I did not receive the products or services that I was charged for. I explained that the person that received the shipments in error, called me and we both tried to return the items to Amazon on that same day, but only one item was eligible for a return.

    This Supervisor told me that the person receiving the wrong order, (that Amazon refused to return or refund), “should ship all of the items from Colorado to Nevada at their own expense, as they weren't supposed to get them”. She then reiterated that all of the mistakes were made by me and I was not entitled to a refund. Frustrated, I requested to be transferred up the chain of command. I Spoke with 3 supervisors, each one denying Amazon’s responsibility, and none willing to allow me to submit my plethora of proof. I received condescending remarks and their refusal to provide the name of a manager, director, or even a corporate address to allow me to submit my complaint, supporting documents, and request for a refund.

    I was told to email Amazon Customer Service. I explained I had already done this twice. I was then told, “well, at this time, customer emails are stored and not read." After two hours on the phone, I told the 3rd Supervisor I had spoken with that due to their lack of accountability, false accusations, and decline in Customer Support and Service, I will be cancelling my Amazon Account. I was told, “I just did that for you”. I am disappointed in Amazon and their negative change towards the customer, especially in light of all the positive changes made by other corporations during the COVID 19 crisis.

    Credit Card security. I have an active Amazon Account. Recently, I was sent a message by a relative that said that she was making a purchasing using her Amazon Prime account and my credit card information popped up. I have never logged in to her account and she has never had access to my card. We live in different states and I don’t see her often.

    I contacted Amazon multiple times and the last was with a supervisor named Matt who told me that what I described can not happen and did not happen. I asked him if he was calling me a liar and he did not say no, became rude and told me that there is nothing else that Amazon would do. He refused to send me to a superior of his or to the accounts security department. It was very frustrating and I will continue to hate this experience. Hope my information is not shared with someone I don’t know/trust. Will be shutting down my account.

    Today I made the big mistake of wanting to shop from my desktop, rather than my phone. I have been a Prime member for years, and have not changed my login information in some time. Today it wouldn't accept my login and locked me out after only two attempts. The security question was NOT one I picked; it was verifying the expiration date of a credit card I no longer have. So I call customer service, and they're using Covid-19 as an excuse to bail out on customer service. I've called Verizon 6 times during the past week (don't ask lol), at all times of the day and reached a person, so don't tell me you can't at least have your call center working from home.

    Anyway, they were not taking any calls, so after I dug around for about 30 mins, I found another number. It's 800-388-5512, btw. I tell the rep what is going on and she immediately begins assaulting me with a barrage of questions. She asks me what the last 4 digits are of the credit card I have on file, which I don't know so I have to go get my wallet and all of that. I give her the number, and she says, "Do you have any other automatic payments or subscriptions coming out of this account?" Like my Prime account, or my checking account? Naturally, she had an accent and the line kept distorting, so I was having a lot of trouble understanding what she wanted. Exasperated, I half-yelled, "I don't know it's Amazon Prime and I get it on my TV too!"

    Then we move on to what my last 3 purchases were, which I didn't remember all 3. So now I have to get into my Amazon app, look it up and tell her. More unnecessary questions followed. I gave her: my address, my phone number, my old password, my credit card info, my last 3 purchases, and she has the audacity to tell me she's going to put me on hold and see if I (and I quote), "pass the test to reset your password." Excuse me? Test? I gave you everything but a blood sample, and you're going to put me on hold to go ask The Wizard of Oz if I can get into an account I set up in the first place???? Now I'm fuming.

    She then puts me on hold for 6 minutes, only to come back and tell me I failed my own identity, "test" and she cannot remove the security question or reset my password. I ask for a manager and she tells me they do not have an, "escalation department." So I ask her who decided I am ineligible to access my own account, and she goes, "I submitted it." She couldn't tell me who she sent it to or why I, "failed." She DID suggest, however, that I spend the rest of my day calling back and, "trying again with other people." UNBELIEVABLE. So, I hang up and call right back. After waiting on hold for 18 minutes, I hung up. Since then, I have let myself cool down...and have decided to cancel my Amazon subscription.

    Why am I LITERALLY paying money to be treated this way? There is nothing Amazon offers me, now, that I can't get anywhere else. Sometimes the 2-Day shipping applies, sometimes it doesn't. I ordered a deck of cards one time and it came in a box big enough to put a microwave in. The individual boxes the items come in are always damaged, and now with this idiotic fiasco, I'd be the idiot who continues to give my money to a place that doesn't give me my money's worth! The lack of regard Amazon has for the very people who have made it what it is today, is astonishing.

Packages keep getting attempted after 4:30pm, and after multiple times being sent back.

    I reach out to Amazon and each time a rep assures me they have made a note for the driver and it wont happen again. but it does. Over and Over again. However, today took the cake. I reached out about the 2nd delivery attempt (on a package that I already contact them about the day before) after hours. The rep apologized and said she would alert the local center - whom did call to notify me that they would be sending the driver back out TONIGHT! Yes, on a package undeliverable because the business is closed! There are no words.

    The product was a Pandora charm in the form of a Ruby colored heart shaped stone with a Silver Micky Mouse character attached to it, it was perfect as a present for my wife because of the color as her name is RUBY and with the Silver Micky Mouse character very fitting for our 25th wedding anniversary. The item arrived in the time quoted for delivery which was perfect as our Anniversary was November 19th. My wife was thrilled with it and has worn it on her Pandora bracelet along with other Pandora charms I have purchased previously.

    Last week we noticed the Silver Micky Mouse Character had fallen off and cant be found, this is the only Pandora product that we have ever had an issue with, their products are normally good quality which is why we always buy original genuine pieces. We wrote to the vendor Karat24 who informed us we can either take it to a Pandora shop for repair with a receipt for proof of purchase or post it back to them, The nearest Pandora shop is 150 km from our home in a city we never visit, Karat24 didn't offer a pre-paid postage label so posting it from Spain to them in Germany with some secure postage is also not a practical solution for us because of the cost we would incur only to have a Faulty Purchase rectified, the item was not sold at a discount or reduced price, I could have bought it cheaper through another outlet online.

    However I always prefer to buy through Amazon both here and in the UK because I have confidence in the delivery times and customer service so was happy to pay the extra but there is no way we would consider paying extra to have the product repaired or replaced as it should be covered under the 2 year warranty, a warranty is worthless if it costs a disproportionate amount of its value to claim on.

    I made a review on Amazon, the review was mostly positive regarding the delivery and product, the only negative aspect was that it came apart after some months and I gave it only 2 stars. I received an email from Amazon to say it wouldn't be used because it didn't comply to its review policy, that was totally wrong, it did not break any of the rules or guidelines, the product had 100% 5 star reviews, my review would have changed that and I believe thats why it was not posted, if I didn't breach your review policy then would you please explain how, what part of my review didn't comply. The only conclusion that can be drawn from your refusal to post my review is that Amazon manipulates sales via the review process, encourages sales of some items by creating the impression that every purchaser of that item is 100% happy. Your observation and comments on the above would be appreciated.

    Finally, someone who cared here in United States resolved this problem and unlocked my account helped to restore all of my Prime membership account extras.

    Original Review: June 13, 2020

    First, I’ve been an Amazon customer for 10 years and have ordered numerous items. However, I thought my credit card had been compromised and Amazon charges were part of the dispute totaling $35.90. I canceled my card as I felt it was compromised and Amazon has closed my prime account entirely, no Fire stick, prime video, photos, music can no longer be accessed. I immediately responded to Amazon about these unpaid items authorizing payment from another card, but like others have said they ignore emails and have robotic like responses from customer service stating they can’t help me to get my account back.

    I got another auto email demanding payment and I have reply over five times to charge the other card and unlock my account. I have called customer service five times and get a different story every time. Extremely frustrating and I think the people in customer service enjoy getting the customer angry and upset.

    I have been a prime member for close to 10 years. First, about 18 months ago my Amazon account was hacked. At Amazon's request I changed my email address and password. All was well until about a month ago when I was forced to change my mobile phone number. When I attempted to log on my account went back to my old email account which was not secure. In fact amazon did not recognize the new address. I spoke to several customer services reps and explained that I needed to update my mobile number and remove the old dated email address.

    The 2nd person I talked to said he was filling out an incident report and that someone would contact me in 24 hours. That was 2 weeks ago. I spoke to the last rep over a week ago and she told me that she would personally call me back in 72 hours this time. That was 7 days ago. So in 3 efforts to get a situation resolved the only thing Amazon has proven is that they care not for loyal customers and to prove it they will lie to you repeatedly. Anyone reading this should be beware of Amazon and how little they care about your security. Report Card..."F".

The issue that I have experienced was: I had ordered Lenovo Chromebook C340 11 Inch from Amazon and the description of this was: (Intel Celeron, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC, Chrome OS) - Platinum Grey. But in the product detail it was saying: Processor (CPU) Model Intel Core i7. This was not correct and hence I enquired Amazon to tell me what exactly is the processor because if it's Core i7, I should surely be interested. I have received email from Amazon before I placed the order stating that this is processor type Core i7. The item was hence ordered. And now it is delivered and I see that the processor is not a Core i7 but much much lower than than being Intel Celeron.

    I have told Amazon to look into this and since they mis sold me a Intel Celeron Chromebook saying that it is a Intel Core i7, please provide me with a Core i7 Chromebook in the same price since it is not my fault. I confirmed it from them and then only placed the order and I have the proof for the same as emails from sales reps and management. (2 emails). Now Amazon just turns a deaf ear and says that they can only replace an exact replica of the same model!!! How does that help. I still dont get what I paid for which was as per the advert on Amazon! It occurred on: 11/06/2020. This meant that I am totally shattered and tired chatting over and over to them. I am really down in moral and dont want to talk to them again!

    I have been a loyal prime customer for so many years and they dont have the simple courtesy to look into the matter wearing the customer shoes. I was even told that "you can please look into whatever avenues you have to solve this matter" when I said that I have to then complain this mis selling to my bank. At least they can refund the whole price of the item I bought and I keep the item OR Provide me with the Intel core i7 Chromebook with 2 in 1 touch screen facility as this one and exactly as the advert states, without any extra charge. I look forward to your prompt response on this matter. As recommended by Trading Standards, I would like to keep a complete record of my case, so please reply to this email address.

They cannot seem to keep their records accurate regarding their customer account information. We have repeatedly gone over with them the account they should have for us as we are paid on that membership through next January. We have repeatedly reviewed with them the monthly account that they should not have for us, yet they continue to show that account and that they will charge our credit card for that account when it expires the end of this month.

    Over a week ago now they promised to issue a credit to our credit card for a monthly membership charge for this account yet they still have not done so and trying to contact them by phone to get this corrected is impossible as they have no telephone customer service. While they have good prices for the products they sell and good delivery services, their customer service is just awful. Beware if you need customer service help from them.

    I recently received an email in regards to my account on Amazon.com in which the company claims that all I do is much purchases and return them which I hardly ever order but since this pandemic, I've had no choice but to order from them since Best Buy is closed and Target is a little off in the distance. My ordeal started with an order I made for a CD/DVD binder that allegedly holds 400 CD's. I needed this binder to store some of my jazz CD's that have been sitting in a box in my closet for a long time. My order however was not only delayed but it never got here and as a customer, I have a right to complain especially since we're talking hard earned money.

    I complained to inquire about the order because on their site it said and I quote "IF YOUR ITEM DOES NOT ARRIVE, PLEASE CONTACT US IN TWO DAYS" and that is exactly what I did. I followed all the instructions they gave me. I filed a complaint and what was done was done. I'm writing this primarily for the simple fact that they like to send threatening emails threatening your account even if you follow their guidelines for your orders. Mine was that they would review my account and this is not only time I was threatened about this matter.

    About a year or two ago, an agent threatened myself personally and my account through their chat and I had to get a supervisor to talk to because he closed the chat after refusing me to connect me with one. After a long hour or so dealing with this supervisor, I was still upset that this matter was not resolved positive. Regardless my account was in good standing then because I rarely ever ordered from them soon after that incident and the way I was treated personally. Now, due to lack of options to get items I would normally would prefer to buy in person, I've had no choice but to order from them.

    What irritates me most is that once I got the email, I immediately contacted them about this email. I wanted to file a complaint about the matter and they told me that my account was fine. Yet, I didn't believe the agent who told me that and requested a supervisor when proceeded to tell me "that I misunderstood the email I got and that it was sent automatically by their computer system as "Account Specialist"." So basically the computer is the one threatening me according to the supervisor I talked to. A threat is a threat no matter who writes it and it is a shame that a company does not own up to their own mistakes but also a misconception about one's account on their site.

    Yes, I have had problems with their deliveries and dissatisfied with how their products arrive thanks to shoddy packaging for CD's and movies. I mean who hasn't had problems with their shipping methods which also include their workers leaving them in areas where other people can steal your items which has happened to me in the past. The way I see this email, it is a basic threat that if I make another complaint about anything, I could have more problems in the future with them. Which is definitely not fair and I stated that to the supervisor.

    As a customer I have every right to complain if the items are not to my satisfaction or to report a problem like everyone else does. I had to get the supervisor to state this on the record about my account because I wasn't going to tolerate this anymore. I still firmly believe that someone from their Customer Service or Account Specialist division sent the email and did not sign their name because they don't want to get reported to the company for threatening people with false allegations. Which is cowardly and horrible because its customers like myself who keep them in business and without us, they wouldn't be in business.

    After a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the matter and I still not very trusting about it, the supervisor wanted to give me a credit towards a future purchase, which did not happen. Why offer something if you're not going to give it to the person for their trouble? Am I right? I try to be accepting of a situation but when you're threatened by a company that depends on me as a customer to make their money, that leaves you with a very sour taste in my mouth. They offer you something and then they won't do it like the credit. It's appalling that an agent or supervisor would do that and pull the rug from under you.

    I have been extremely careful of late and have been in the past when I have ordered because like eBay, I've grown extremely distrustful of companies like this not giving customers the best treatment possible especially in customer service. eBay is still worse with Amazon not far behind in my view. That's why I suggest for customers like myself not to trust what they say and always follow up on every matter possible because either way, you're the customer and you're entitled to the best service possible from customer service to receiving the item to your personal satisfaction. It is your right to let them know if there's something wrong and not get the runaround like they try to take you on. It's not right that they still don't want to take responsibility for things that are beyond the customers control and when the issues start with them from the word go.

    The customers don't ship to themselves or handle the items to ship to their houses. Come on. I wish it was that easy but it is not and they have no right to threaten anyone or for that matter, tease you in fixing a matter and they don't. I hope they start correcting their customer service because it is still lacking in consumer confidence. Especially mine.

    I told him about the "offer" his associate made, and he ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE WAS AWARE OF IT AND THAT HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP ME FOR FREE!! I asked if he was going to report this, and could not get a straight answer. He kept me on the phone for an hour, and was unable to resolve the issue in any manner, and many times I had to repeat myself over and over, explaining the issue very slowly, asking after every few words "Do you understand what I have just said?" to which he replied "Yes", but when he finally re-stated what I had told him (for the hundredth time), he STILL could not understand the issue, which was simply that I was noticing that numerous reviews under several books about Donald Trump were being deleted, and that I suspected the people doing it were either using illegal software that was openly being sold on the internet to allow anyone to delete anyone else's Amazon review.

    Although I explained this many different ways, in small doses, referring him to exact reviews as well as the exact search results, he was never able to repeat back to me what I had explained to him, even though he kept assuring me that HE WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE (that he did not understand). It has never been resolved, and it is still going on to this day. The other even more troubling issue related to this I have repeatedly reported to Amazon Customer Service through "Chat" and through telephone, is that I have IDENTIFIED possible Amazon Employees who may be changing and deleting positive customer reviews of books that are critical of Donald Trump.

    I have repeatedly pointed out changes, deletions, and moved reviews of these types within the reviews of multiple books that, if made by Amazon employees, would be very easy for Supervisors and Managers to track right to the person at Amazon who is doing these things. I even trapped them multiple times by writing positive reviews for critical books about Donald Trump that have been DECLINED as "not within the guidelines of Amazon", when they were absolutely within the guidelines.

    I even kept making them so very, very much within the guidelines that: 1) it was impossible for them to be considered "unpostable", and 2) when I added a sentence such as the following to the review, it was THEN POSTED within hours - what I added to the review was "Ivan, I think you are messing with the 2020 election, and you'd better post this review or eventually someone at your job is going to catch you.", and even when I pointed this out point blank to customer service, and they said they read it, nothing was done about it!! They did not do what they said they would do and have a manager get back to me to verify that my earlier posts were within guidelines and had been declined by an employee for no discernible reason - until I said that they were going to out themselves to their own management! Then the review was posted WITH my warning intact!

    It was obvious to me they were certain that they were less likely to be caught by other readers of the review, than by their own manager if I somehow was able to get SOMEONE in Customer Service to report this misbehavior. However, the Customer Service associates I spoke endlessly to about this, and also sent them copies of the unposted reviews that were DECLINED simply because they said something like "Positive Reviews of This Book Are Being Declined Illegally Either By Amazon Employees, Or Are Being Illegally Deleted With Illegal Software Available On The Internet (to which I gave the site addresses). Amazon is being hacked constantly by either its own employees or "others" outside of the company, and I can't get ANYONE to do anything about it.

    It is very difficult for me to believe that the hours of "chats", phone calls, copies of bated and/or declined reviews could not make it past the Customer Service associates UNLESS THEY WERE TOLD TO IGNORE THEM AND NOT REPORT THEM UPWARD. I believe that Amazon is a major source of 2020 Internet Election Tampering, and I have provided AMPLE evidence to Customer Service to no avail. They keep me on the phone for up to 1 to 2 hours making me re-state myself, and then repeating it back to me, saying they understand and putting me on hold, but always repeatedly telling me to stay on the line and they will get right back to me with some sort of explanation as to how they will proceed.

    They NEVER give me an explanation, and begin to behave like everything we had agreed on only minutes ago, was now completely incomprehensible to them - even when I copied and pasted their earlier "chats" to them, showing that in their OWN WORDS they said they completely understood me, reiterated my words back to me, and stated they would come back with a resolution. I have stopped bothering, because it is clear to me that this company knows it is being used as a stomping ground for Election Interference for the 2020 American Presidential Election, and they have no plans on doing anything about it. It is RAMPANT.

    So, is that ENOUGH information to substantiate my claim that Amazon Customer Service, contrary to other comments on this very site stating they LOVE this company and give it 5 stars up in a circle? I'm stunned that so many people say it's just great, when everyone I know has also stopped contacting Amazon Customer Service for ANY complaint because they get a big run around, just like me, and there is never any resolution.

When I questioned the practice they locked me out of my account and used my gift card savings and wiped my account clean.

    A few weeks ago, I left a review for a product & seller that I was displeased with, the Doggy Bathroom. The seller stalked and found my personal social media accounts and began harassing & threatening me. I contacted Amazon's customer service with the issue and they assured me (I have screenshots) that they have a no tolerance policy for sellers contacting/harassing customers outside of Amazon. They said that there would be an investigation and that the seller's store would be removed from Amazon.com in about a week. They also said they would contact me with the final decision & next steps when the investigation was over.

    It's been over a week. They have not contacted me. & The seller's store & products are still for sale on the platform. Seeing a company like Amazon, who claims to put their customers first, sit back & blatantly allow their sellers to harass and bully their customers is truly disheartening, disgraceful, and a true symbol of Amazon's regard for their customers.

    I used to love Amazon. But they have been heading down hill fast. For the last 6 months, they’ve been adding various streaming add ones without my consent. They would refund me immediately when I contacted them. But this was happening every month. I’ve seen a lot of other people complaining about this same thing. And after encouraging my friends to check their bank statements, a lot of them discovered that amazon added services to their accounts too. They’re flat out stealing money from people, and hoping they won’t notice. Sadly, most don’t. So I canceled my Prime membership because of this. I only had it for two day shipping anyway.

    Speaking of 2 day shipping, I haven’t gotten any of my orders in the last year, in less than 5 days. Which just encouraged me more into canceling prime. As if this wasn’t bad enough, now I recently ordered something, and after 5 days, they still haven’t even shipped it out yet. I think it’s time for the free market to run these thieves out.

    Very bad shopping experience with Amazon during the COVID 19 quarantine season. I ordered a Pfister faucet on April 21 at a deal price. Two weeks later, I received a deck plate. I returned the wrong item and asked for a replacement. Three weeks later, I got a deck plate again. On May 10 I contacted Amazon regarding the issue and found out that Amazon intentionally sent the wrong items twice because Amazon does not want to honor the deal price. The Amazon customer service asked me to return the deck plate a second time and re-order the faucet at a higher price and promised Amazon will do a price match later.

    Amazon then created a fault shipping information for the new order, letting me believe it will arrive on May 22. However, the faucet never arrive. On May 27 I contacted Amazon again and was told I will be refunded. Through the whole process, I only see cheatings: sending wrong items, asking to re-order the item and promising to do a price match, creating a fault shipping information. I had to go to the post office twice to return the wrong items during the quarantine season. What is Amazon's business ethics?

    I am concerned about Amazon's payment process. For past orders, I was charged separately, one time, for each item. It was a hassle but the total amount paid was the amount shown on the website. On my last order, my card was charged twice for the same item. When I called customer service, the first representative did not help me and sent me a very unprofessional email. So, I asked to speak to a supervisor. The woman that I talked to told me Amazon always places an initial charge for the full amount to be sure the money is there. That charge is supposed to "go away." Then, the company charges a second time for the full amount, which is the actual payment.

    My card company stated that both charges are actual charges but that one charge is not delivered. This means that Amazon actually billed me twice for the same item and that I have to wait until the charge drops off (in this case, 30 days) to be sure the company did not collect both payments. The Amazon supervisor told me that my card company is wrong and the first charge is not an actual charge. She also sent me an email stating that I was completely wrong. I have kept both emails as proof and I'm waiting to see if the charge actually drops from my card account.

    You really have to look out when buying from Amazon. They want to trick you into buying into Amazon Prime, and you have to read the fine faded print carefully to avoid signing up unintentionally. They tempt you on every order with a garish display about free shipping. Reject that initial offer! Once you're signed up your card will be billed automatically until you discover it and go through the hassle of cutting it off. This company does not provide product descriptions adequate for you to understand what you're buying. I had to cancel my last order because it wasn't clear whether I was buying a dozen pencils or just one.

    When I buy something from Amazon, they take the full amount out of my account and then give it back and do it over again. This happens a total of 5 times (occasionally three). The invoice charges me a certain amount but they take the money out of my bank account in increments and since taxes are charged on each item, I have a really difficult time knowing for which item they are withdrawing money. One example is they took $158 out of my account after I made an order for that much, then they put $72 back in and then took it out, put it back in took it out, put it back in and then took it out.

    I have been buying things from Amazon for years and this is something that has only started in the last year or so.

I’m old, 100% disabled American veteran and in the Covid 19 compromised immune system category which is the self-quarantined population. Like many of you, I’m working from home. When a piece of equipment fails I usually run to BestBuy, Staples or OfficeMax and have a replacement in 2-3 hours. The only online purchases I make are with Amazon as they have driven away the local printer cartridge business. On May 7, I ordered a Logitech keyboard and mouse from Amazon and it arrived late May 20 and it didn’t work. Very frustrating, after spending 13 days of dealing with a broken keyboard. The only instructions were printed schematics on the box, basically no help.

    I called Amazon; they used to have a great customer service help desk. Not anymore, Covid-19 made it disappear and it will not return, as Amazon is only about profit. I spent 4-5 hours on the internet looking for help and gave up. On May 21, I called BestBuy, placed my order and 3 hours later it was ready to be picked up.. I brought it home (curb side delivery) and had it working in just 10 minutes. It is a better keyboard and only cost $2.78 more! (I have free shipping.) Amazon is growing by leaps and bounds. I heard yesterday they hired 150,000+ new employees while BestBuy and I suppose all of the local retailers are struggling. Be careful, Amazon is likely to be our only source of the things we need. They even own Whole Foods, how long until we get all of our groceries from them? Amazon already sells everything except prescriptions, and that is only a license away!

    Updated on 05/23/2020: Per current Amazon standard, they ask the consumer to deal directly with the seller which is a very strange way of doing business using the internet. Anyways, after exchanging tons of messages with the seller about a shipment that was due to arrive on May 12 (today may 23), his final input was that he refunded the money. When I asked him when the refund was made, he stated that I need to approach Amazon as it seems that they hold the refund for 4 to 5 weeks. His input was not valid due to the fact that I was faced with similar problem with my very first order and the refund was made within 48 hours. Did ask the seller that he must advise Amazon to refund and credit my card. All this going on and not a single message or interference from Amazon. Pure waste of time and efforts. Hope that this will not drag on forever. In the meantime, glad that I canceled my membership..

    Original Review: Last April have placed few orders, around 9 items, on Amazon. One was rejected by customs and presume shipped back to the seller. One item never delivered and therfore Amazon decided to cancel the order. Only 2 items were received. The biggest handicap is that as a buyer of the product, we are asked to deal directly with the seller. A pure waste of time and effort and most of the time such seller has a very negative attitude. All this going on and not a single interference from Amazon!! Two items should have been delivered on May 12 and yet till date ie, May 21, nil received. When I approach the seller, the reply is: not to worry... They are on the way...

    On the other hand, while all these kind of communication with the seller going on, Amazon's famous tracking order system, which is a tool for the buyer to make a follow up on all his purchases, is still showing inaccurate data ie, still my two orders will be delivered on May 12...weird.....!!?? Will be canceling all the orders and have asked all the sellers to credit my Amex... I will not pay for anything that will not be delivered and/or delivered late.... Bottom line: will not go through such bad experience again...

    I have used Amazon for several years and always did so because of one thing, I felt I could almost always trust the shipping dates. Now I have noticed a trend on Amazon of showing dates that are a week to weeks out because, I assume, of Covid 19. What I find distressing and has caused me to purchase elsewhere is that the shipping dates are not even close to when you will really get the product. They keep telling me my purchases have been shipped but please allow another 7 days. I have had this happen for up to a month past the date it was supposed to be here. In addition they eventually tell me it was lost in the mail so to speak. This sounds like they just wanted to keep the sale as long as they could, and the money, even though they probably knew they could not get the product. So now I don't purchase there anymore.

So I eventually needed a new phone charger so I ordered that, same exact thing happened. Never came. I was sent off to 3 different post offices after it said ready for pick up, nobody could locate the package. I am done with Amazon. They are in it for the money and do not care about their consumers. I should never have my money tied up in services I am not receiving. I know a lot of people, and best believe they will not be ordering from Amazon anymore. They do not care.

    Amazon allows fraudulent sellers to misrepresent their products - In 3 occasions recently I have experienced receiving products that vastly differ from the product descriptions. I find nowhere to report these vendors on Amazon, who don't seem to care a bit about vendors ripping off customers. Likewise I boycott Whole Foods now since Amazon bought it, as service and quality has gone way down there as well.

    Don’t answer phone. Orders getting cancelled after waiting for weeks. If you don’t have an item don’t take my money then when I complain I don’t have it yet you cancel my order?? Don’t buy from Amazon/China/??? I guess I will start shopping local Again! Buy American. Buy local. Maybe Covid 19 came in a Amazon package?

    I ordered a product. It was scheduled for Sunday delivery. Received notification I had been delivered. Went to retrieve it. It was not there. Tried to contact Amazon. Told I could not use phone contact. Had to use website. There was nothing on the website to help. I am now out the product and the money. I hope trump does get Jeff Bezoz and Amazon closes. This is a horrible way to run customer service. I am a senior citizen and a veteran, shame on Amazon.

    I have shopped on Amazon for years. They used to be simply amazing with great pricing and an easy to use search bar. Sadly that is no longer the case. When I type in a product I am looking for I now get endless "sponsored" products often completely unrelated to my search. You try and filter and it only gets worse. What truly infuriates me though are the "hidden products" that will never show up in your product search unless you type in a very specific title or use a link found elsewhere. This is not accidental as these products are generally either "sponsored" or Amazon products only. Is it unreasonable to expect to be able to search for and find those items I am after? I have begun Googling items first now instead of beginning with Amazon to evaluate pricing and get a legitimate search and not a fake/manipulated one.

    I gave Amazon the review I gave it because three items in a row I’ve ordered have been used. I ordered a fabric dresser, there was a piece missing, and that was used. I ordered a pair of slippers. The right slipper was worn down on the heel and a hole forming on the side. Those were used. The other item I ordered was a bathrobe to fit a child when they were adult sizes. So, I’m not sure what’s going on with Amazon. I asked the chat agent and he said he’s been getting a lot of complaints.

    I understand shipping being slowed down from Covid but wow did y'all completely forget how to do it? I made 3 orders and only received one. To report it only gets me being argued with by your personnel and having to fight for a refund! Get it together!

    I got a bike through Amazon from a company. I gave my review on their poor after sales service and Amazons too and stated my issue with the bike that was poorly dealt with. Amazon refused to post it and removed saying it wasn’t acceptable. Please see the review sent. “I can’t say I like or dislike the bike. The supplier Leon Cycle Customer Support after-sale service is terrible. I only heard back from them after contacting Amazon through chat. They don’t answer calls or email. I received the box tattered and torn and like an open product.”

    My email account was compromised followed by my Amazon acct being used by someone else who then locked me out of my own account. I have had numerous contacts with Amazon for a month now and still no solution. They will not restore/investigate my account issues. Numerous times they have a recording saying they aren't taking calls!!!! Really!!!! You will take my money for Prime and if I want new service they will respond. But not help a customer who orders at least 3 times a week!!!
