Amazon Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from frequent delivery delays, inadequate customer support, and challenges with returns. Many customers report frustration with unresponsive service representatives and convoluted processes for refunds and account issues. While some positive feedback highlights the convenience and product availability, the overarching sentiment reveals a decline in service quality and reliability. Customers express concerns about counterfeit products and a perceived lack of accountability, suggesting a pressing need for the company to enhance its customer service approach and improve operational efficiency to restore trust.

I had an order sent to my daughter that was to be delivered tonight. The delivery inatructions were to go in the door, up the stairs and leave it at the first apartment door. The driver decided to leave it at the beer drive thru which was closed because its sunday! He never sent me a question about it, he just did not deliver it! At my own residence my instructions are to leave it in the screen door since we have a lot of package thieves in the neighborhood. The drivers just throw the orders on the front porch in plain sight of whoever goes buy. I planned on spending hundreds of dollars on christmas gifts through amazon but now i dont know if i will.

I have ordered product, I had one time deliver with Amazon prime. But I always wonder with how I can deal with canceled orders. Sometimes, I was charged and got cancelled order but I did not get back.

Fake Amazon Reviews
November 6, 2020

Don't rely on any reviews of products from Amazon. The reviews all originate from paid advertisers. The reviews are all skewed to their third party product providers. It's sad that you can't trust a company that provides a good service to provide product reviews that are reliable. A lot of reviews "trick" you into buying inferior products at inflated prices. You could do yourself a favor and review the product on an independent site and then check prices on sites other than Amazon.

As a long time AMAZON customer I am quite disappointed in your response. You would lose a faithful and frequent ordering customer over a $17 credit to my account! I will be sure to mention that when I post a review of how AMAZON treats it's FAITHFUL customers!

Im usually happy for businesses to scale but not at the expense of recurrent customer frustration. Customer Protection groups need to step in to curb Amazon's disregard for customer complaints which have fallen of deaf ears. Their 1st line call centre staff are poorly equipped to solve any customer issues. They're only able to (via some ticketing system) write to Account Reps who are the ones supposed to be equipped to profer any tangible help. These Account Reps who are supposed to acknowledge and address customer problems within their own prescribed 24-48hrs never get back in touch with the customer. This has been my personal problem which has gone on for a few weeks unresolved. Amazon is virtually exhibiting monopolistic tendencies that the world should be afraid of. Too Big To Give A Damn!

Been waiting for a tent for two months. They deliberately lead me to believe that it would arrive on the 30 of oct. It did not. Now it cost me over 200.00 and they will not give me back my money. Paid with a gift card and i have no refund. This is the 2 of November. There is not phone number to call anyone and i found a *******810 number but no one answers. I will never do business with them again. Other items were of poor value and some were even missing parts. I'd rather do without.

Always on time
October 26, 2020

I find it very helpful even in these unprecedented times that amazon is keeping up with its delivery on time for prime members. I got my last package on time and i am happy about it. Go with prime if you can.

Some people have negative reviews about how there are fake products on amazon which is not a lie. If it seems too good to be true then it probably is and you should choose something else. You need to know what you want and its price range. Apart from that I have not noticed anything else wrong with amazon. I love it

Utter frustration
October 24, 2020

Long time Amz shoppers and WF since 1994. Needless to say it's been an adjustment to Amz owning it. Now with delivery I'm just about done. The app is clumped together with regular Amz making it hard to navigate. I have the hardest time finding my shoppers completed list. They never communicate replacements or ignore requests. I get notified of items out when the person is already checked out. For the entire summer of 100+ heat they did not notify me of delivery completed so perishable groceries say in get for 1.5 hrs one time and 2 hrs another. Not a text, knock or doorbell. I hate shopping WF now. I make a point to not shop here except for very specific items that are just here. It's just too stressful and headache inducing otherwise. Hate it just hate it. They ruined a great company.

I love the fact that when I shop on amazon I get to choose the same product from different suppliers. I can then compare to see which one is better or call all of them and let them tell me the specifications. It's a great online show and I enjoy using it. They Also have some great discounts.

Sorry not sorry
October 19, 2020

Customer service says sorry but isn't. Strongly recommend checking all other sources before buying through Amazon. They were great in the beginning but has dropped well below the acceptable level of a store where I spend my money.

A very good store
October 18, 2020

This is a very good store to get pretty much everything that you can think off. I had always known that amazon existed but I only came to use them like a few years ago and I have never regretted my choice. It has a lot of reputable sellers that give good products.
