“Amazon went above and beyond.”

I ordered a sink which was supposed to come with a drinking water faucet. The sink arrived without the drinking water faucet, instead it had a soap dispenser substituted by the manufacturer who failed to update the ad. I called Amazon customer service and in about 5 minutes they gave me the $280 sink for free and I bought the water faucet for $32 That's above and beyond. Amazon is a fantastic company.

“Shipping is expensive”

Basic reasonable service for all customers spending their hard earned money on this site? No. Amazon literally looks for ways, to penalize those who don't have their prime" subscription. Also would have just gone to walmart had I known this would happen. Placing a simple order for non custom items, then having to wait a week before arrival is unacceptable.

Pathetic customer service, originally ordered around thanksgiving and got multiple updates on the delivery dates and never received it. I was promised that a replacement will be sent to me at no cost in Dec last week and the pattern repeats, as the order has just the label generated with nothing shipped out yet. Horrible call center reps after numerous transfers and digging into this order they are not even cancelling the order and returning my money.

Offered a promo for downloading their app and signing in for the first time with it. Did just that and I got a notification stating that my promo was denied. Contacted customer support and was informed of certain other "criteria" that was never initially stated. Went up to an alleged supervisor and he didn't solve the issue. Asked to speak to his boss and was denied. Have screenshot proof of the entire thing.

Tip for consumers:
The manufacturer substituted a soap dish for the drinking water faucet. I asked Amazoncustomer service for a free $32 drinking water faucet. They refunded the $280 sink and told me I could keep the sink for free but I would have to buy the $32 faucet. That's above and beyond.

A $280 sink.

I received a package today from Amazon that was atrocious. Why would a driver leave such a package on my doorstep. You want to know why because he didn't give a damn and calling Amazon to report him is like pulling teeth you have all these international customer service people who can care less of what you are complaining about. I'm going to think long and hard before ordering from them. Had to be a crack head

Out of 6 4k uhd blu rays I bought 5 where used and re shrink wrapped, and purchased directly from Amazon.i tried to leave a review about this on amazons website and they repeatedly got taken down!

They are literally re shrink wrapping returned movies and selling them as new! If I was a lawyer I'd start a class action lawsuit.

Tip for consumers:
Order movies from best buy same price and actually brand new

They hire morons. I tried to update my expiration date on my credit card it's an Amazon card the work flow say to click on expiration date select date and voila but it doesn't work. So I got on the phone with miss India who had no clue after trying everything I decided to delete the card and put in the new card and To my amazement it updates the card so they need to remove the workflow that doesn't work so customers are not confused it's apparently a bug. The other times I've called to complain on a problem like the damaged dog bed I got,you can't ever speak to some who doesn't read off a sheet of paper total idiots not sure I want to continue my relationship with this company it's going downhill like their stock.

Amazon is an incredible online marketplace that provides an unrivaled purchasing experience. The platform's extensive product range, cheap pricing, and quick shipping make it a popular destination for shoppers worldwide. Amazon distinguishes itself from other online retailers by its user-friendly design and great customer support.

Writing reviews of a product has to be perfect for this company or they will email you threats. Avoid this company at all costs. 1 star is entirely too many.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use Amazon, they like to threaten customers via email.

"Customer service" is a farce: computers giving you multiple choice responses, people for whom English is not the first language (and are hard to hear when you're hearing impaired), asking the computer to connect to a person doesn't work, etc. If you have a problem with delivery the computer tells you to either wait 48 hours or check with your neighbors. Is that help/service? Doesn't work for me.

Tip for consumers:
That I would get better service from the local Staples

I bought a gift on amazon.com.au via VPN since I'm based elsewhere. They "detected suspicious activity" on my account and froze my account across all amazon platforms. Now I had to provide evidence that it was in fact me, who ordered (which I did) and promised to review within 1-3 days. It's been a week and my account is still frozen. And no one answers my multiply query emails either. I can't use the customer service, because, guess what, you have to log in to use it.

Wow - can't believe how terrible amazon.com has become. I ordered a product - the tracking number on the website said it was "delivered by amazon" but it was not. I spent well 2 hours on the chat and a phone call with them telling me the item had been forwarded to a "freight forwarder" and I was to contact them to find out where the package was. BUT crucially, they did not know which "freight forwarder". How am I supposed to follow up with a mystery company. Beyond ridiculous.

Anytime any where amazon has you covered. They provide an excellent service to all of your buying needs. I literally can say they have excellent return agreements and just over all speedy shipping. Most places do not ship as often and quickly as Amazon. Amazon is my number one go to site for clothing and pretty much any need. The site is eye catching and will get your attention to them lightening deals. Just such Amaze-on!

Good n convenient online shopping platform with a variety of product choice for nationwide shopper. For international shipment I opt for eBay as its communication platform between buyer n seller is more structured and effective than Amazon.
Reason is although Amazon has very good customer support but if you contact the seller, the seller is not as responsive as the eBay seller. Otherwise I will give 5 star here. Amazon has prime shipment options and in general ship very quickly. Transaction is always trusted and reliable as in case the seller don't ship Amazon would refund right away. What else is good for Amazon is when you need to return the items you can just drop off to the designated Amazon drop off locations instead of paying $$ on shipment

Tip for consumers:
Perfect for nationwide shipment

Amazon has been going downhill for a few years now but today it's absolutely ridiculous wit the constant separate deliveries, broken cheap products imported from China, 3rd party sellers who won't answer when there's a problem. The site is a complete joke these days and I'd love to see some other company take over Amazon's spot. A company who respects their customers and has good delivery.
I wanted to do an update to this review and let everybody know how Amazon is now dealing with packages that are not being delivered. Where I live, we have an extremely bad problem of Amazon, delivery, drivers, leaving our packages in the public lobby, or even outside of the apartment building where people would walk right up and steal it. Things that are chained down get stolen so of course a shiny Amazon package will to be stolen. This is still happening so much so that I have included special instructions not to leave packages in the lobby as they will be stolen. Despite leaving instructions and warnings for Amazon delivery drivers, most still leave it in the lobby where it gets stolen. I had this issue the other day and because the delivery driver messed up. I had to wait two days before I could even inquire about getting a refund or my package just re-sent back out. Amazon wouldn't call me about this, no, I had to call them. I am the customer after all, and I am chasing them around for mistakes that they have made on their end, but yet I am being punished as a customer because of their mistakes. I had to wait 48 hours before I could speak to anybody concerning a return and then after 48 hours I was able to either ask for a refund or have it resent back out, which is going to incur more waiting time and therefore being punished for Amazons mistakes. I was taken aback when I found out how many hoops I would have to jump through to get my product re-delivered or refunded. All because Amazon delivery leaves parcels in public lobby and parking lots where they get stolen. Like I said, in the beginning of this review, Amazon has gone downhill extremely quick and at this rate, I can't expect them to be doing very well in six months time. Hopefully changes will come about that will be the best regard for the shopper.

Buy local

Made one large purchase of several items, Amazon breaks it down in multiple orders which is very confusing and done this way to add extra fees I believe, than one order gets cancelled for whatever reason and I'm stuck waiting on a refund, can't just resend item have to go through the whole process of reordering and repaying, I will never use this company again!

Tip for consumers:
Horrible customer service, unable to understand broken English of staff.

I am keeping this review short and sweet. I often have many bad experiences with retail companies and their poor customer services, but Amazon always comes out on top. Their excellence in customer care makes me favour shopping on their site over anywhere else.
The shipping times are super fast and even on a Sunday too. I have never had any issues with opened or stolen packages from the couriers. If items have been faulty, the incorrect size, or not to my taste, it is free to send back on a majority of items.
The products are packaged really well and I re-use all the boxes to store or ship things.
The staff hired to take calls are very charming, knowledgable and empathetic. I cannot fault the company or suggest any ways to improve.
No other company can compare!

I have ordered multiple items from Amazon throughout the years from all over the country being delivered from all different parts of the world BUT New Orleans Louisiana is absolutely the most worst place to get any items delivered. The drivers are incompetent and will not read instructions plus will have an attitude when you ask them to do so. If you live in New Orleans, good luck on getting any items delivered. Whoever the regional manager is, should be replace by someone that can perform better leadership.

My wife and I love hazelnuts, and from time to time, she would buy a four-pound bag under the brand name " We Got Nuts " on the Amazon website. The last bag she received was a big surprise. All nuts tasted stale, and many were bitter, rotten, or covered with mold. She wrote to Amazon asking to send them back, and Amazon refused to accept them. After that, she wrote a review describing the poor quality of the product. Unfortunately, Amazon declined to post her review, saying that it was misleading.

Don't purchase from amazon.com they're just a bunch of thieves! They won't provide you a refund for a lost product for 6 weeks after the purchase date! No notification that you have to wait 6 weeks to be reimbursed when you place the order! Just a bunch of lying thieves! Save yourself some frustration and make your purchases anywhere else but amazon.com

That you have to wait 6 weeks to receive a refund for a purchase that didn’t arrive

Extremely disappointed in Amazon ethics! The box arrives with obvious signs of being opened (picture) previously. Even of a portion of the box label had been removed. Once I opened it, original packaging was missing and it even included an instruction manual (picture) for a completely different cooker!

This was a primary ad, not an "other sellers" or "used" category ad. Nowhere in the ad did it say open box / used or anything else to indicate anything less than class A merchandise. Completely unethical and without integrity.

BE VIGILANT
