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.

Great Company
July 6, 2017

A pleasure to do business with such a reputable company. They so what they say. Great selection and as a Prime member there are many benefits. They have become my first choice when looking to purchase anything.

Lack of variety
July 6, 2017

Not only do the films lack variety and are mainly of low standard and low budget; the length the good films stay on the site is very short. I saw one film I wanted to watch become available and decided to watch it the day after and it had already been taken down. That means it must've been up for as little as 3 days. Get Netflix not Amazon prime

I usually have no problems with Amazon-- GREAT prices, GREAT offers, easy returns -- stuff comes immediately and is wrapped well. BUT lately I have been trudging 1/4 mile down the hallway (VERY large apartment building) to find BOXES and bags of my orders thrown on the floor under the mailboxes on the OTHER side of my building. Sometimes I find these wonderful (NOT!) "surprises" when I'm on my way to go out the door to go to work. THAT needs to be taken care of-- other than that I've been a happy customer with Amazon for 20 years

I bought a Lenovo K6 Note from Amazon, delivered on 13.05.2017 (order nr. **************735). The phone just did not work and I wrote to Amazon on 13.05.2017, 14.05.2017, 16.05.2017 and twice more always through their Amazon.in portal. Once they advised me to write to the supplier which I did. All this was well within the return window as defined by Amazon.
I also posted a review on their website of K-6 and implored Amazon for not responding. My other comment was not posted by Amazon.
Since I reported the defective good as soon as it was received by me and since Amazon took NO ACTION, technically I am within my right to still seek a replacement.
Upon contacting Amazon Customer Care, I was told that Amazon only advertises the product on its website (?) and that since the window of return is closed, they cannot help me.
This is highly irregular and I am stuck with a mobile phone that just does not work.
Terrible response from Amazon.

It was ok
July 5, 2017

The most important thing i don't like Amazon is that the delivery charges are too high. Initially the charges were good n very affordable but now i stooped buying anything because of that. Ya i love the site but the returning policy is also bad. They don't care about the complaint of people

Good

Usually very honest and you will only get cheaply made stuff when buying things that seem underpriced. They usually are for a reason, but still well worth your money

This is my go to app to find almost anything. This is one app I would find hard to do without. When I was unable to get out after surgery, I even bought my snacks from Amazon. Also, it is an excellent source when cooking for difficult to find ingredients. Their delivery service is phenomenal., my products usually arrive in less than 3 days and being PRIME I do not pay shipping.
