Customer service has gone downhill
August 16, 2023

Customer service use to be awesome. Since 2013, customer service has gone downhill. Hopefully Amazon decides to replace them with AI customer service. ChatGPT based interaction would definitely be more helpful. Human customer service at amazon are useless.

Terrible approach to packaging
August 8, 2023

Amazon loves dropping things on your doorstep at any random time in a rainstorm without notice. They will ship countless plastic item already wrapped in plastic, into another wasteful large plastic Amazon bubble wrap sleeve or envelope. Yet when sending an unwrapped paper products such as a paperback book, they will stuff it in an oversized brown Amazon paper envelope and toss it on your uncovered doorstep for everything to get completely destroyed in the rain without ringing the doorbell. Receiving a 'delivered' notice the next morning reveals the ruined item's arrival sometime the previous evening. I did an Amazon search for 'common sense' and they had none in stock!

What used to be a great online retailer
July 22, 2023

I was initiated in Amazon in their "books only" days and appreciated all the books. Then they started selling all other items. The initial experience was exceptional for the first few years. Then deterioration began. In the last few years I seriously questioned that my loyalty might be misplaced. In the last year the customer experience just seemed to get worse and worse, now I'm at the point of looking at walmart.ca first, local stores second (only because I live in rural areas and going to any brick and mortar stores is a half-day drive), and Amazon last...

A few days ago, I was looking for a cat tree for my kittens, on the check out page, it showed that the delivery was only 3 days away. I placed the order, as soon as it shipped, the delivery date got pushed to 7 days... I consider this deceptive. Chatting to online agents (3 of them) of course yielded no results and call back from the phone (3) agents were a complete waste of time (all 3 had "connection issues" and one appeared to have child care issues as a poor infant was crying with ear piercing force, overpowering the speaking voice of the mother). Now I'm done with Amazon.ca.

I made it known many times to the Amazon office, that if you are delivering to my home, ALWAYS PRESS THE DAM BUZZER or KNOCK. That's put right down on their screen for their delivery instructions. Their people are too stupid to learn how to read, so they DROP THE PACKAGE ON THE EDGE OF THE TOP STEP, and skuddle away like the little termites that they are! In the meantime, people are getting their paid goods ripped off on a daily basis, and Amazon couldn't give a $#*!. What type of an organization does this? Secondly, many of their items don't tell you when they will be sent out until days after you have purchased the product. The management at Amazon are brain dead. They don't care about anything except that bi weekly check that they don't deserve coming in. I hope this company folds!

Would give 0 if I could
July 11, 2023

They have religiously delivered my packages to the wrong address; now after having my tires slashed I placed a rather expensive order for prime day sales in which they lost. It was a signature required order and they delivered it to the wrong house. They won't issue my refund until I waste police resources and have "an officer investigate where the package is". Absolutely ridiculous that you make a mistake and then refuse to help when it's a $200 order of cameras and equipment. I've cancelled my prime membership and removed the app; I'm done with Amazon.

Dog$#*! service and poorly integrated
July 7, 2023

Delivered package to the wrong address. Courier provided a photo of my package in front of a door somewhere in my (large) apartment building (conveniently shooting the photo beneath where it displays my unit number on my door). When I open my apartment door (not one minute after receiving the delivery notification) - no package. Contacted support immediately who apparently had no way of contacting the Amazon courier who was currently in my building and preferred to refund me (3-5 business days) and have me re-order the same items (1-2 days). They would prefer to cover the cost of my whole order and make me wait 9 days total to receive the items than just give the courier a 10-second call while he's literally in my building.

Horrible return service
June 25, 2023

Ordered about $1200 worth of stuff returned 3 items now have to wait almost a month to get the refund. Horrible service. They are admitting they have the products I returned and are telling me I need to be patient.

2x item
Purchased delivered on wrong place. Give me only $10credit on the 2nd wrong delivery location and then issuing refund when Inwas charged on my credit card. They are hiring courier delivery who is giving away other people's order. So frustrating!

Refund service is terrible
June 12, 2023

Customer service is the worst. All they do is copy and paste answers for you concerns. I swear it's not even a real person we are talking to.
I had a resent refund of 700. Because Amazon sent me the wrong package and I have to wait 30 days for refund. Can you believe this $#*!.

Poor customer service, same on Amazon
June 10, 2023

Worst experience, placed an order more than 2 weeks back and still it says pending delivery date. Wehn called customer service they want me to cancel it and reorder with an increased price or wait but they don't know when it will be available.
Basically, they want to charge higher. Shame on Amazon.ca

Horrible website
June 3, 2023

Ordered two ps plus cards and they cancelled my account making me reset my password, stuck in camp with no data but only wifi, have no wifi calling to accept texts for the 6 digit confirmation code. Why not have an actual person to chat too online instead of having 4 generic questions that do not assist anyone in this position.

Tracking
May 29, 2023

Amazon needs to revise their tracking system. I never obtain accurate tracking info. I have ordered two items from Amazon and both say "left carrier facility" two to three days ago but no update since. This happens far too often and I don't seem to get my packages at all lately. Amazon has really dropped the ball.

I have made many hundreds of orders and I'm not impressed how I'm promised a refund and it isn't in my account or my credit card, no refund! Also get run around from sellers and amazon both are rude to top it off!
Some products are complete junk and some knock offs.look for products in brick and mortar stores and cheaper too that way!

Very poor customer service
May 18, 2023

I would give them zero stars if I could
I tried to call today as my items were not delivered and I got items that are not mine, the girls put me on waiting then they hang up
I could not believe that I pay membership for prime and they keep increasing their memberships then you get this level of customer service
I would say their customer service does not exist
