Many customers report frustration with unresponsive service representatives and convoluted processes for refunds and account issues.

I have purchased ecodot free of charge yesterday, but now customer service is saying it is an error. How can be Amazon making mistakes like this. I, m prime member and they should recheck all promotions before releasing to their website. I spoke to Scott - customer service supervisor and he is being very rude and simply saying it is a mistake and had cancel my order. They should honor what we have purchased through online. Im no longer trusting Amazon. Simply saying, it is online CRAP.!

I love Amazon, I love Prime - I just hate the fact that a retailer is becoming so big that it will soon take over. My shop small and local guilt sometimes takes over when I run to the computer and place an Amazon order.

I have never had an issue returning merchandise to Amazon, I've never received a wrong order or a damaged order and I've been a customer for years. So I am here to stay as Amazon takes over the earth.

I do not want Amazon drones though. We do not need to be distrubed by hundreds of those noisy bests polluting our air:-)

I have shopped with Amazon for years and every time there has been a problem they have provided exceptional customer service. Most times there is no problem, just fast delivery of what was ordered but when very occasionally something goes wrong they are great always fixing it. One thing that I especially appreciate is the person on the phone has the authority to make it right - reship it or refund it or whatever is needed. It has never taken more than one call to sort a problem out and that really stands out as how it should be done.

Good Service
August 18, 2017

Prompt service in delivering items and if a mistake occurs, Amazon sends out return mailing labels without hassles.

Ordered Eclipse glasses on Aug 1 - Aug 1 people! Here it is Friday before eclipse and updated shipping date is Aug 24 (WTF!?!?). To be clear these were not glasses affected by the recall - so no points on that one Amazon

Maybe they weren't prepared and didn't know that an eclipse was happening on Aug 21?

To be fair I have usually received everything I order as expected but c'mon eclipse glasses with almost a 3 week lead time? They kept giving me updates and like a fool I kept believing them (first it was the 7th then by the 11th then 15th then 17th) they even showed the nice little bar that the order was on the way - ha ha!

Not sure what else I could have done - maybe ordered them 3 or 4 months ago? No one has any now so really screwed - again thanks Amazon appreciate it!

So son and I are SOL - was really looking forward to this event.

I'm not going to stop shopping at Amazon (they know it, I know it) - but really really really disappointed on this one!

The best for me

I buy nearly everything at Amazon. Fast and good. It's true that they do not always have the best price but at least they are fast.

I been shopping in this website for quit a while, and they have very good to me. I have shop for clothes, movies, beauty products and some furniture, and all very decent things. Amazon; tells you and accuracy when is coming, reviews of the product, new or used, different kinds of shipping method, and you even track your order. Many different kinds of thigs you can look for.

It used to be that Amazon had what I wanted and at the best price. Either they have dropped standards or everyone has caught up. I still shop there but they don't get all of my money now. I bought a Samsung tablet yesterday and beat Amazon's price by $100.

Need I Say More
August 17, 2017

Fast and furious. It is the first place we think to look for fast, dependable service. When we return items, they process the credit as soon as the item hits the mail, not when it hits their receiving dock. Wow.

Bought a package of SALIMBENE ESPRESSO COFFEE on Amazon.com It's supposed to be the best espresso in the world, at least according to a blind tasting of all kinds of espressos in Europe by CREMA magazine. I am always on the look out for a good espresso and this one is by far the smoothest espresso I have ever drank. It's the most expensive one, but I have to admit it is the best one I have ever had.

Who doesn't use Amazon
August 17, 2017

If you are an Online shopper Amazon is a staple. Their return policy and willingness to help with bad retailers is one of the reasons I use them often.
