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 appreciate that more business are getting competitive with the quick-shipping and multi-department offerings, but nothing beats Amazon. We very easily make up for the prime fees every year with the free one and two day shipping and streaming services. The one-day shipping has helped me in a pinch multiple times, and their customer service truly cannot be beat! And no, I am not an amazon employee - just a busy mom who doesn't have time to shop and appreciates a company that still makes customer service a priority :)

Love them!
October 2, 2017

Great customer service. I had a shipment worth over $100 of items stolen off my porch. I called Amazon, they immediately re-shipped everything at no charge. I probably buy 100 times a year from them because there is no easier or more reliable way to shop.

I buy from Amazon and not from E-bay because they will not at all work with you, I bought 2 items from e-bay they sent the wrong item both times I sent them back at my expense and they refused to reimburse me. So I do not buy from them.

Amazing
October 2, 2017

Have used Amazon for quite a few years now, they nearly always turn up on the date provided, quality is always good. It makes my life so much easier than having to walk around shops for hours on end looking for what I want. Great for everything...

Amazon has made my life so much easier by letting me purchase items that I wouldn't be able to find in a normal store where I live. I love amazon and the app and know you will to!

My family has used Amazon Canada to place numerous orders. Some of the products are sold through Amazon some are sold through other vendors. We try to make sure the products we order are done through Amazon because they always back the products. Anytime we haven't been satisfied with an order we have contacted Amazon and they have always fixed the problem right away without any hassle or wait. We have always been very happy with how fast we have received our order or received a refund for an order we weren't happy with. 99% of the time we have been very happy with our orders but knowing the refund or exchange process is so simple makes us always feel confident placing an order plus the prices are amazing!

I have been an avid prime member for some time now but I am so done. In the last two months they have apparently lost two if my shipments and are unaware they have until I call asking where my items are.
I pay for prime to have them hear on time... they were supposed to arrive 4 days ago and I gave it a few extra days and called and they said 4 out if the 5 times are just sitting on the shelf and one got lost, okay cool well why hasn't anyone told me that as I am sitting here waiting for them!? Also the customer service knows nothing, the supervisor said she had to leave a letter for the people who actually ship the things off a shelf, a letter are you kidding me your a billion dollar company and still only communicate by letter to them!?
I don't know why I wasn't informed, I just don't get it. They seriously have no communication, she said this does not happen often well like I said it's happened twice in just two months and I'm over it and them. I was so shocked that supervisor knew nothing. Needless to say we are supposedly getting our money back. Good, I'll take it elsewhere.

Amazon Awesomeness
September 30, 2017

I work with another businessperson who purchases all her items through Amazon. She introduced me to the site by saying that she trusts Amazon to put her credit card there and know that it's safe. She has access to everything she needs for her Belly Casting Business, her husband's Yachting Business, my Calligraphy Business, and at prices we all agree with; we don't get it unless we can get it at Amazon! Safe, secure, easy, accessible, reasonably prices, endless options and varieties of items to choose from. I personally like the 'Related' items associated with my current search.

Amazon is the best

Cheap prices and only rivals Costco in discounts for items. We buy a lot of items on Amazon when we don't need to buy items in bulk.

I'm like other people in the world who shops everything in Amazon, every single purchase went smoothly until the last one, I ordered cat litter with my student prime membership, It does arrive one day later, but the time I assemble it, it's already broken, I sent complaint about it, complete with proof picture that it's broken. Apparently, they won't accept it just because I spend less than $50 or I used the free prime membership. So basically I couldn't warn another customer that the products are not good just because I didn't spend enough on that website? Enough said this is the last time I order something on Amazon.
