I ordered a pack of eye drop bottles and I received a message from Amazon telling me that the carrier they use, which is APEC require that I provide my citizen ID and my Chinese name! Then on the same day I received another message from ECMS which says that it is a logistics provider saying that this is required by Customs in China. I don't understand why I need to provide my personal ID for buying just some eye drop bottles and why my Chinese name is required. I have ordered goods from Amazon quite a few times and this has never happened before. This is an infringement on my privacy. I am not going to provide them. Unless Amazon changes this, I will stop buying on an Amazon.com.
I ordered from my Tide button my husband bought me and I got it in a day. I didn't think it would get there fast, but that's Amazon I guess. Loved it, can't complain!
**EDIT: We have Prime, so we get it faster because we pay extra, Thought I should add that!
Amazon is great for finding lower prices then normal store shopping in your local area. With all the competition it tends to drive the price down. Try sorting your filter by price and set it to low to high. Find the lowest price for the product you desire.
Technical problems on Amazon's part and my order did not go through. I called later but they said they did not get order and had no idea how much the firestick was selling for on that day. I just googled it and found out how much they sold for on prime day.
Very very fast shipping! I am so pleased with my cloth. Customer service is great! Use the Amzon for several years, never disappoint!
Terrible Delivery Service from prime. Deliveries left in the front garden and lockers that don't work. Reviews mentioning this are blocked by Amazon.
No bad experience at all... very good company they try to make sure u get what u paid for and if u need a refund they help
Wow I never thought I was gonna meet such site that deliver with no effect. I'm so happy to meet such website.
The site's functionality has really improved over the years. It has become really easy to use. I really didn't appreciate using it as a seller due to their policies, which is why I gave 4 stars. I haven't sold on years as a result, but the buying experience is generally positive.
I love Amazon so much. I have shopped on Amazon since the year 2000. 18 years of happiness. I've only had to send things back a couple of times and only got the wrong order a couple of times. I order hundreds of items every year. If I were asked to name some of the best things in life, Amazon would be one of them. If they are taking over the world, they deserve it. They did it right.
Depending on where you live its different but for me my packages are always early. I've been using Amazon for years and never had a problem with it. You can get anything from Amazon also
Probably not cheap but delivery is good & ordering is easy & choice is good. Access to films & TV shows is a benefit. Very time saving because you can find what you need & have it in your hands the next day. Problems are not common but difficult to resolve. I recently ordered a 10 item offer, received 5 & all queries were unanswered.
Amazon is awesome for ordering products you normally can't get in your country! Sometimes products are quite overpriced, which sucks.
I consider Amazon to be the best choice when it comes to online shopping.
Not to tell I'm in love with their Kindle! It takes reading to a brand new level.
Amazon used to be this amazing company from a customer standpoint, but now that it has shut down most of its competition and continues to grow, the company is starting to tank. Prime is no longer Prime as you're paying more for it and receiving less. Two day shipping is a lie, it's more like 4 or 5 day or whenever they feel like it shipping. Returns are more difficult to make and their product pricing is steadily increasing. The media and entertainment portion is a joke. This includes both the tv and music portion. I have increasingly found better products and prices fro other companies and I am seriously considering cancelling my Prime membership. After all, what's the point if you're paying for shipping by paying a higher price and receiving it days later than the "guaranteed" delivery date?
Absolutely luv shopping with Amazon, the selection of products the prices are Amazing. And how fast I get what I have ordered is WONDERFUL.
I cancelled my Prime membership after being told that I wasn't meeting the Community Guidelines for writing reviews. Two days later they restored the privilege. Two days after that, the revoked it yet again. I'm done with this company. I never been treated so badly. They never offer a valid reason for their decision. As others have stated, Amazon used to be a good company but when you get so big that when one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, then it's time to leave.
I did a order via gift card and I got closed account due to a not showing invoice of gift card.
Why?
Answer: I concur with all of the above answers except about the kindle. I have contacted Amazon via phone and they were very helpful.
Answer: Bought a hair dryer for my daughter in Melbourne. Arrived no probs.
Answer: Try Walmart! They deliver food too, and they accept EBT as well. I am switching to Walmart now because I ordered food from Amazon Fresh on 4 different occasions, and never received my groceries. I am disabled and I live alone, so I need delivery service to be reliable and dependable. Clearly, Amazon Fresh is neither reliable nor dependable, which sucks.
Answer: I have never shipped or had things shipped to or from Australia. Sorry
Answer: This problem began when Amazon Market Place started up and when I saw how bad it was with sellers selling at 3 to 4 times the full retail price at other online stores, it was a hint for me to stop supporting Amazon Market Place. If its sold by Amazon, I might buy it but I do my utmost to find a lower price so I don't have to buy it from Amazon. More often than not Bestbuy or Staples has it for the same or lower price. Bought an Asus RT AC 5300 from Bestbuy for 500 Canadian and it doesn't sell for less at Amazon. Returns are no hassle 30 day returns and no shipping just take it to a local retail store and that saves the wrapping and shipping.
Answer: Yes I do on the items I purchase and also through google and sitejabber
Answer: It takes longer if you don't pay monthly for Amazon prime.
Answer: The shipping cost is in the listing if that's what you're asking. If you click on new/used, it will be below the cost. If you have Prime, most things are free shipping.
Answer: You answer on the actual question I believe.
Answer: The above answers are good - I agree that a personal contact on the phone is best. - Go to 'Your Account', then click 'Let Us Help You' -then click Help - Then 'need more help',- then click 'Contact Us' - fill out the 3 steps and choose 'more no norder questions, - then clock on phone - from there it will direct you (how long the wait etc and they call you back)
