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.

We received a gift card for our wedding. One month later we attempted to redeem the credit and were told that someone else already had. We did not authorize this and had no idea. Spoke to 5 different customer service people that explained there is nothing they can do. They have a deeply flawed system and dont believe their own customers, so the gift was just wiped out. No offer of credit or even to discuss it with fraud prevention, just wanted to get us off the phone. Now my wife is crying.

I know that this company destroys many small business but at the end the strongest survives. But they are ahead of everybody in prices and availability

Have been a loyal amazon customer for years. Always happy until now. My account was hacked a couple of months ago so it was temporarily suspended. Have repeatedly called customer service to get this reversed to no avail. Never send e-mails or return phone calls as promised. Amazon is convenient, but I can make my purchase directly through vendors. To bad amazon has gotten so big they no longer need my business.

EXCELLENT

I got a Harman Kardon receiver system from them, will attach pics. My seller was very courteous and the product was delivered a day before the promised day. Everything works as advertised.

Amazon Customer Service
November 4, 2017

Amazon Customer Service is terrible. If you want to contact someone to get more information all they do is copy a link to their help section of their website, they state they cannot help in their department and place you on hold. The next rep then does the same thing, offers you a link to their help section so that you can read and research for yourself. ***Poor customer service***

Of all of the buying and selling websites I have ever used, Amazon has always been the most reliable service. Buying Amazon fulfilled is extremely secure. Amazon support has always helped me. Selling on Amazon is a pleasure as well.
I have had to return a few items over the years and Amazon was always helpful.

Great selection
November 4, 2017

In my dealings with Amazon I have always found a large selection, good quality and fair prices. The standard delivery is also quick and efficient. The packages are delivered right to my front door.

Many times I have ordered items and they are supposed to be guaranteed free 2 day shipping. Some times it takes 3 days even 4. Amazon doesnt want to hear it.

I love shopping and ordering from Amazon. I have order tons of things from Amazon and out of all of them I think I have only had to return one thing that I had ordered. They made it so simple to return my order. Everything gets to me fast and I like that.

Amazon is amazing! I can put anything in the search bar and find a whole list of options to choose from. I shop Amazon at least once a month if not more. The prizes are reasonable and Amazon Prime gets my orders to my door in two days.

This is a great site. They are so dependable. They stand behind their products and services and for only a few bux a month you can get free shipping. I have shopped for years now and then and have always been satisfied

Amazon is the best!
November 1, 2017

Amazon has LITERALLY everything you need. I been using Amazon for several months and I am so pleased! Most of the things that I purchased came earlier than I expected. I will continue to use Amazon. I recommend anyone that needs anything to shop here.
