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.

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 shop for some things at Amazon. (Very Few). Their prices on a lot of items is ridiculous. For example, I've seen items that cost about 20.00 and you can get that same exact item at Walmart for 1/2 the price. I know Amazon is trying to take over the world, but you will never run Walmart out of business.

Great Prices!
December 18, 2017

I ordered quite a bit for Christmas. I was comparing things with overstock and amazon beats them out every time. You would think overstock would be a lot cheaper but it isnt. Even when a sale is offered its overpriced. I was looking at echo s and the one I was looking at was $100.00 more on overstock. It was the one with the picture screen. So, next time you are planning a purchase please compare the two prices.

Viva Amazon!
December 15, 2017

After being ripped off by 2 other on-line companies within the space of 2 months I can only but highly recommend Amazon. I have shopped on-line with Amazon for over 10 years and their refund and/or return policy give buyers the assurance that what is advertised is what they get. The only reason I have not used them as often as I would like to is because of the current Rand/Dollar exchange rate. Otherwise I would be shopping up a storm.

Since Amazon went to outside contractors Amazon cannot and will not honor the delivery day they specified. I waited 2 days at the house to make sure no one took the packages off my front porch. When Amazon was using USPS, FedEx or UPS the shipments were always on time. Now that they use their own couriers, nothing gets here on time. I canceled the orders and rescinded my Prime membership and will be going back to Ebay.

I have to walk 2-1/2 blocks to my mailbox, and I have health issues, so it is not good when I am surprised by big, heavy box waiting for me.
I pay good money for Prime for the convenience. USPS is very inconvenient.

Completely in love
December 13, 2017

I love the variety of options Amazon has to offer when u looking for a particular item. Not all things are top quality but read reviews and you will get a good idea if its a item worth buying. Over all I been using Amazon for about 8 years now and I love it... And yes prime membership is the best you almost always receive your items on delivery date.

My first go-to bookstore
December 13, 2017

I mainly purchase books from Amazon: US, UK, France and Germany - the range is magnificent for a specialist like me who likes books on watercolour and archaeology. Prices are often discounted and generally lower than most chain retailers in Australia with their HUGE mark-ups. Very easy to search for books by subject, including new releases up to 24 months prior to publication. Postage to Australia is very fast and low cost - well done Mr Bezos

EVERYONE ON AMAZON NEEDS TO STOP USING USPS AND ONLY USE UPS OR FED- EX. USPS IS AN INCOMPETENT, UNRELIABLE BUNCH OF IDIOTS WHO ALWAYS SEEM TO LOSE MY IMPORTANT PACKAGES AND MAKE TRACKING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT FOR EVERYONE TO STOP WITH THE USPS MAILING METHOD. I WOULD GLADLY PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR THESE PRODUCTS IF I KNEW THEY WERE BEING SHIPPED BY UPS OR FED- EX

I use to go to Amazon for everything. I would save a ton. If I made a mistake they would help me and refund me promptly. Recently I have had some troubles with them. Refunds never refunded and items sent damaged to the point I was cut open not knowing the bottom of an electronic was cracked which led me to the hospital today due to an awful infection I got from the unit. Amazon wouldn't replace the item even though it was covered in my blood and returning it would expose others to blood borne pathogens. I discarded the dangerous contaminated unit and Amazon refused to help me remotely. They offered me $5 gift card for my troubles and I never got that even. So sad I loved Amazon
