I may not always find specialty items at Amazon but, if I find what I want, service is quick and delivery, even with free shipping, is reasonably fast,
I love the books and I give reviews on ARCs that I receive. I order Bio Freeze, Black Mask, and Black and White skin lightener for wounds on my legs from bilateral knee replacements. The prices are excellent!
I have been a prime member for years and always get my items delivered in a timely manner. However, when there are third-party sellers occasionally, there may be a delivery issue but Amazon will fix it promptly.
Excerpt from Brent H. 08/05/17;
"... they dont prioritize deliveries like pre orders to ship on time... "
Which I had read just after realizing I have never ordered any product from any vendor or manufacturer, when it was stated as a 'backorder'!
So I cancelled our order. And over the next 50+ hrs reviewed the posting and noticed...! Within 20 hrs Amazon dropped mention on the product posting that the product was sold and fulfilled by them, leaving pricier seller options...! Last time I chkd it had come back stating, ' shpg within 1-2 months' Up from 3-6 wks! But is still listed under their promo' units, 'amazon choice... available to ship immediately' catalog for this product line-up. { ehhh!?}
So they did not follow-up on all the FYIs I submitted to them within my 'pleasant' email conversations with their heavily scripted CS unit. But kudos they did do sooome updating;)
Glad I cancelled, for a couple reasons,_who knows when delivery would actually happen_and the unknowns were now conflicting with a road trip.
Will I attempt to do business thru Amazon (?) probably not, unless the product of interest is 'In Stock', and waaay cheaper than regional vendors!
Thanks SiteJabber for this platform to share...
Never used Amazon before.
Used to vendors shipping ordered item within a couple business days. Always use the cheaper shpg method usually USPostalService, as I believe as long as it gets here safe and sound why pay more for a service that uses same trucks and planes.! Placed order thru Amazon (seller is listed as them) and items stated available new to sell, is over a dozen.! Shipping date stated on order tracking timeline is 39 days after date order placed. Kind of extreme ya would think.
Then on same timeline, possible arrival date is like 6 days previous to the forecast shipping date. Interesting!
Granted don't know all the workin's of this 'operation', but hope it moves along quicker than their forecast.
Otherwise, this will probably be the first and last time utilizing the 'amazon' :)
Great prices at times but they have problems at times with deliveries. They dont prioritize deliveries like pre orders to ship on time
This is a top site that I do love. I buy and sell on Amazon I do not how I was able to manage before it came along. I do highly recommend this place to shop and to sell so if you have any kind of passion to get what you want and what you want fast this is the #1 place for to have that happen.
I buy a lot of stuff at Amazon they have a lot of very amazing products I love shopping there I've never had to return nothing thank you
Amazon as far as delivery drivers and instructions upon delivering packages, is non-existent. You guys are $#*!s, that don't ever follow instructions, it's not like we live in a crappy neighborhood, just a lower middle class neighborhood. So maybe the intelligence of the drivers is lower middle class.
Either way, Amazon you guys suck, you guys are $#*!ed, your CEO is $#*!ed, your warehouses are $#*!ed.
Amazon go screw yourselves, go find a Home Depot, you pot smoking hill billies.
Thanks.
Used for 3 years and no problems. Almost always go to their site first for everything. Like reading the reviews to help me make a choice.
I usually get good deals, but am annoyed when they send me a used disc, as I am always wanting a new one. I haven't shopped for awhile as I am getting most of my movies from Disney Movie Club or another movie site.
I do not know the whole extent but I have seen that software developers and Internet service providers in a way have been working with Amazon to spy on you so then they can attempt to target online users with products that they might be interested in.
If you have some program working deep with in your OS or possibly working as an other program on your PC spying on you it is possible that Amazon is to Blame.
Web browsers like Opera should not be working with companies like Amazon I don't want to see Amazon adds off line any more then I care to see them online.
Since Amazon is investing in spying on you to try to target you with ads it raises questions as to what other personal information they might be trying to obtain about
People.
If I surf the web I should able to do so with out ever seeing names like Amazon, Wall-Mart, Google, Face Book and many others that try to blast me and others with there junk ads.
As matters of customer satisfaction of sales of products that Amazon provides I can't comment a hole lot about that. Maybe they are very dependable and reasonably prices I can't comment much about that because I have never boughten anything from Amazon personally.
From what I have seen of Amazon they have very deceptive business practices and should simply be boycotted globally because of the shady practices they implement for advertising and spying on potential consumers.
Love doing business with them, Great Prices & Service, & Customer Service, there are no Equals! Keep it up AMAZON!
Bought an electronic item from Amazon and returned it. Have now dealt with Amazon chat twice about refund and found it excruciating. First time, I told them vendor had received item back but no refund after seven days. Was told I would have to wait 60 days before they would review! Second time, today, Aug. 4th, was told they had done refund 7 days before (I had received email confirmation of that fact), but refund wasn't there. I had used my Amazon credit card. Asked for four digits of account they refunded to and was told they couldn't give it to me for security reasons. They told me to take it up with issuing bank; and, as I told them I didn't know which bank that was since I didn't get that information!
Will NEVER buy electronics through Amazon again (which tend to be returned more, at least by me) and would be hesitant on ANY large dollar purchase to avoid the hellish treatment on refunds.
EBay and PayPal are MUCH easier to deal with on refunds, even AliExpress is easier to deal with.
Amazon has lost a lot of their cache with me (and I still don't know where to look for my money.
Amazon è una garanzia, nulla da dire. Tantissimi prodotti con spedizione in un giorno, moltissime recensioni e una grande sicurezza dei pagamenti. Cosa volere di più?
I shop at butchers, grocers, cheesemongers, and I pride myself on supporting small local businesses.
But when it comes to online ordering I only use amazon, It's juts so quick, easy, and secure.
I'm even aware of the poor ways their staff are treated.
But when I've got the option of ordering with Amazon and receiving the item next day, or to take the risk on a website I've never heard off, not used before, will receive the item in 5-77 days and worry that if anything is wrong with it how their customer services department (if one exists) will handle the situation, I just can't bring myself to use anything but amazon.
Great service, fast delivery. Better than ebay. Only problem is all packages from amazon will go through customs.
Great Value on Some of the items I buy, Some Vendors Buy the Bulk I Can't, and offer it at pretty much unbeatable prices! Of course it depends on what your shopping for! Amazon Pay is great protection for the Customer!
My recent orders got delayed, even though I pay extra to be a prime member. Amazon does not pay attention to deliveries. Im very dissapointed by them. My recent order supposed to be within a month, and after a month they sent me the option do delay it to one more month. Their only help option is to cancel the order. Im not satisfied as a prime member
Amazon is a good place i would say. Most of the time they do have better prices than other retailers and the prime service is valuable. Customer service is usually pretty good although if you have a problem and need to dispute an order it can take a ridiculous amount of time. This is more so if you order items that are not sold/shipped from Amazon directly. For me it took 4.5 MONTHS to get a refund for an item I didnt even order. However I've also had packages that did not arrive by the schedualed date and they gave me a full refund no questions asked. So like i said it's pretty good though it does have its annoyances. Keep in mind that I do still shop here regularly so the good does outway the bad a majority of the time. It is my go to site for anything I need when I dont want to pay full price.
I constantly go to Amazon for my books, DVD's, crafting supplies, some jewelry and whatever I may need because I can always count on them to have my product and get it shipped and delivered on time. I Love Amazon!
Answer: I concur with all of the above answers except about the kindle. I have contacted Amazon via phone and they were very helpful.
Answer: Bought a hair dryer for my daughter in Melbourne. Arrived no probs.
Answer: Try Walmart! They deliver food too, and they accept EBT as well. I am switching to Walmart now because I ordered food from Amazon Fresh on 4 different occasions, and never received my groceries. I am disabled and I live alone, so I need delivery service to be reliable and dependable. Clearly, Amazon Fresh is neither reliable nor dependable, which sucks.
Answer: I have never shipped or had things shipped to or from Australia. Sorry
Answer: This problem began when Amazon Market Place started up and when I saw how bad it was with sellers selling at 3 to 4 times the full retail price at other online stores, it was a hint for me to stop supporting Amazon Market Place. If its sold by Amazon, I might buy it but I do my utmost to find a lower price so I don't have to buy it from Amazon. More often than not Bestbuy or Staples has it for the same or lower price. Bought an Asus RT AC 5300 from Bestbuy for 500 Canadian and it doesn't sell for less at Amazon. Returns are no hassle 30 day returns and no shipping just take it to a local retail store and that saves the wrapping and shipping.
Answer: Yes I do on the items I purchase and also through google and sitejabber
Answer: It takes longer if you don't pay monthly for Amazon prime.
Answer: The shipping cost is in the listing if that's what you're asking. If you click on new/used, it will be below the cost. If you have Prime, most things are free shipping.
Answer: You answer on the actual question I believe.
Answer: The above answers are good - I agree that a personal contact on the phone is best. - Go to 'Your Account', then click 'Let Us Help You' -then click Help - Then 'need more help',- then click 'Contact Us' - fill out the 3 steps and choose 'more no norder questions, - then clock on phone - from there it will direct you (how long the wait etc and they call you back)
