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.

Best Stuff
September 13, 2017

Every order is shipped when promised and they have a wide variety of goods so that just what is ordered is received and if mind is changed they refund when the ship label is scanned; well before received at their warehouse.

Product always arrives as promised and in good condition. The quality of the product is backed by money back if not satisfied or sellers responsibility address and number.

Great for almost anything
September 13, 2017

Use Amazon often. I have started buying cleaning products, laundry soap, toilet paper. Awesome to buy at a discount and shipped to my door. Prime is worth every penny.

Going Downhill
September 13, 2017

I've been a bit disappointed with Amazon. They grown so large that they've lost any personal customer service. Also, they offer Prime which is not worth the money, as most items don't arrive in the specified period. I dropped it. Some merchandise is not as advertised, and the quality Inexpect is not there on many items

Once you join amazon prime, it is difficult to go anywhere else. For the seller, Amazon will not give you customer's phone number or email, which is a disadvantage.

I ordered all my grandchildren's Christmas gifts online, Everything was delivered as promised, items were 'clearance priced' but not junky or 'abused' returns. Exchanges were made because of sizing, but all items were easily exchanged, and we even received two bonus gifts (that matched the girls clothing), for free!

No Problem shopping
September 12, 2017

So far Amazon has shipped my items within the time period promised. Returns and refunds have been easy. I get notifications if item is on its way, delivered or delayed.
I'm happy

September 12, 2017

What else can you say? It is Amazon :) You order, boxes arrive like lightning speed. We shop from them for over 70% of the items we use. If we were in their area that we could use their fresh food services it would be closer to 100%. Yeap I drunk the kool-aide :)

A OK
September 12, 2017

Maybe I'm weird but Amazon has never given me any reason to complain. I've been a customer since 2005 and have yet to have a bad transaction. I did have an order that seemed to take forever to arrive but when I checked on it, it was coming from South Korea. Since then I've paid attention to where the Amazon partner is located.

Undoubtedly, Amazon has changed the way people buy their products, as the company satisfies the needs of almost everyone. Now, we see that Amazon is involved in each and every activity of human beings, since it sells books and a wide range of electronics. Recently, the company announced its acquisition of Whole Foods Market, consequently many argue that the online retailer will also change the way people buy their food.

Best Place To Buy

I've compared prices from a lot of stores to Amazon prices and I've seen prices for Amazon be lower by like 200 dollars compared to a different site. Amazon is insane when it comes to low prices.
