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 love Amazon because they provide excellent customer care and are true to their word with their shipments.
One can find just about anything on Amazon.
It is well worth visiting this site.

Mostly great

Would earn a 5 star if they vetted the products sold on the site better. Customers must be diligent and critical about purchases

The most dependable shopping experience there is. On the two occasions there was a problem, Amazon took care of it immediately. Doesn't get any better than this.

OK

I ordered a Fully loaded kody box from one of their sellers and never received it the closed my case before the arrival date. So I was screwed out of $49.98. Does not seem like a lot to most folks but when you are on disability it is.

My amazon prime order was late... very late. Finally, after a week of waiting in agony for my important package to arrive at my front door, I decided I have had enough. I grabbed my laptop, and furiously typed, "Amazon customer service," into the google search bar. As I sat on hold for about two minutes, I thought, "wow, I hope this all works out in my favor!" Soon enough, a nice young man answered my prayers. He could not fix the fact that my order was lost, but he did help me very much. God bless.

My program was about to begin and neither my college nor local/online bookstores had 2 of the required textbooks in stock.
Amazon had an excellent source for the books; not only was ordering simple and quick, the prices were competitive, and I was granted access to free online chapters until I had the book in-hand. It was super-easy to check on my order, as I was regularly notified of the shipment status.
As an added bonus, I was able to use Amazon's student shipping offer to save me $!

It's like "Money in the Bank", shopping at Amazon.com not only gives you the same products & quality, but at better values. Combine this with Amazon Prime to receive free shipping and the best program streaming available; never been happier!

I live in a small town, 100 miles from the nearest shopping centers. We have stores here, but their selections are limited and expensive. I know that I can find whatever I need or want on Amazon. And, since I am a Prime member, most things arrive in two days. Don't k now what I would do without it!

A good site

I have bought a pair of shoes to match my bridesmaid dress. The price is lower than local store and quality is acceptable. Shipping is fast! A good site to buy!

Amazon allows false advertisement from third party sellers. While Amazon has always treated me very well when purchasing from them, they still allow other sellers to cheat you.

Bunch of Bull$#*!
August 20, 2017

First time using Prime. Baught 1500$ worth of stuff. Amazon charged each order 2 times for a "pre authorization". It ended up taking 4 business days and lots of arguing over the phone to get the 1500 dollars they were holding for no reason back. Not cool
