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.

Great company
September 10, 2017

I turned to Amazon when I needed to replace the case for my phone. Verizon had discontinued it. They had it! I also ordered a muscle cream that my late husbands mother had sent us. I'm glad they had it, it works wonders. Nice to know they are there.

Can't live without Amazon!
September 10, 2017

Being a Prime member at Amazon has so many rewards!
I will often remember or realize there is something I need and I immediately go to my Amazon app to 1)see if they have it, and 2)check the price. 9 times out of 10 I am able to get what I need at a good price!

Wicked!
September 10, 2017

I love Amazon. I'm a prime customer and order lots of things from the site. My only issue is the courier they sometimes use. Amazon logistics, they deliver things to my neighbours constantly even though my safe place is my front porch and even when I'm in and waiting for them, they sometimes just knock once then go to the neighbour.

As I said I order lots of things and get constant deliveries for that reason I put a note on my door saying please do NOT deliver to neighbours. Yet these amazon logistics delivery guys do but then again most of them can barely speak English let alone read.

Who Doesn't Love Amazon!?
September 10, 2017

Amazon is my go to website for anything that I don't have at home! Love that I get to see the cheapest version of things and the reasonable prices, and the expensive prices. Because they have EVERYTHING! And to make things even better, I'm not an Amazon Prime member but certain items qualify for free shipping when you've spent a certain amount on those items. Love free shipping! Amazon will probably always be my go to for everything!

Amazon sells anything and everything that you can everything that you could dream up and you will be given options as to as to which brand or seller would work for you based on reviews, price point and when it can be delivered to your home.

Every company should run their businesses this way. Relentless focus on customer satisfaction and designing a platform and UX that other companies want to follow.

It Needs More Stars
September 8, 2017

I order through Amazon very frequently & I've never had a problem. The prices are always the same or cheaper, delivery is fast & I can get things delivered that I can't pick up by myself. Customer service is great, they are friendly, they solve your problem & they never rush you. Love Amazon!

Gone are the days when amazon.com valued its buyers! HA! Your purchase will be held hostage until you PAY UP for shipping- where the *real* (free) money is! I wish I could share my screenshots of their supposed tracking information- USPS states "September 7,2017, 9:13 am Picked Up by Shipping Partner, USPS Awaiting Item, ETNA, OH *******/ September 7,2017, 5:14 pm Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item ETNA, OH *******/ Your item departed a shipping partner facility at 5:14 pm on September 7,2017 in ETNA, OH *******. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date."

On Amazon.com it shows, "Latest update: Friday, Sep 8 6:49 AM, Shipment arrived at Amazon facility Kenosha, WISCONSIN, US"

The order was PLACED SEPT 3! Since yesterday afternoon (Sept 7) the "tracking" has displayed "Arriving tomorrow by 8 PM"; today is the 8th- STILL says "tomorrow".

So what, they're right next door to your place; you asked for free shipping, you're getting punished and WILL wait. amazon.com is reflecting sketchy drop-shipping behaviors- sellers can post what ever they want and charge what ever they want[ $40. For shipping an eyeliner? SURE! If buyers are willing to pay it, and you pay for that posting. So WHAT if it was floating around in sewage?! amazon.com doesn't monitor nor regulate the safety of ANY item unless it is being stored at their physical location- and even *then*, who knows? amazon.com is BLOWING YOU OFF! As of the date of this posting, you will be able to find amazon.com offerings locally in most metropolitan areas for LESS than on their website. Embrace Walmart. The time wasted awaiting that item for $2. Less online would be replaced with the satisfaction that you get to PERSONALLY inspect your item(s) before purchase, and time IS money. amazon.com- go ship to Nigeria!

Can't say anything bad about Amazon. Just that they need to make sure that they have their Amazon Prime set up in such a way that customers do not mistakenly pay for a service they may not want.

Mixed emotions
September 7, 2017

I think Amazon is gonna change retail in a way we cannot understand. It is good for the consumer, that is without question. But, in the end, will it be good for our economy (business'), and our culture? I have my doubts.
