Delivery
June 10, 2017

Amazon offers GREAT deals! However, make sure you know where your product is coming from! When domestic usually delivery CANT BE BEAT, however international relievers often get delayed with NO explation! They still will always have my business!

I haven't had a bad experience with Amazon. I order quite a few things from them and I find the sellers are reliable, quick with shipping and provide items as described.

Easy to locate what you are looking for, usually the identical product on the other companies website. Plus with Amazon Prime shipping and handling is usually free and it is very quick. I have had to return very few items but have never had any trouble. Sent return label via email quickly. Sometimes they just tell me to keep the item and that I would be given a full refund anyway. If it's clothing that doesn't fit well, I give it to someone that can wear it and it doesn't cost them a thing. Happy campers.

The site offers very good quality products at a competitive price. However, shipping cost may be high if you are not a prime subscriber.

Amazon had band me from shopping on their website about two years ago because of too many returns and refunds. I was shocked. I was a loyal amazon costumer since 2006 with amazon prime. I couldn't understand why they would shut down my account. I did not know this can happen. So I called amazon costumer service about this issue and the costumer service is very bad. So now I make a new account with a fake name just to buy something. But once I add my debit or credit card, then they close that because they know it's me. But before this happen, I purchased a new phone from amazon and they said it was declined after I was charged for it. I don't understand why this can happen when I had enough money to buy the phone. Amazon refused to give me back my money for the phone I ordered. Amazon is just horrible. Shame on them.

Few times have I ordered Cerave lotions - everything packed fantastic, all closed with plastic foil. Fast shipping, never had a slightest problem. They ship international and I never had to deal here with customs - which is HUGE plus!

How can you live without Amazon? I think I spend more time on Amazon than Youtube. No other company can beat Amazon.

I had the typical breakdown of a dehumidifier one month after warranty expiration. I called up Amazon, got a great customer service person and she got me a return label and total refund... immediately. This is not the first time they came through for me. I was an early shopper (1998) and will continue to spend thousands a year on this amazing site. Also, Prime rules!

I spent $895 to buy a water ionizer filter machine and had a good experience overall. The only complaint I have is they should add split tender. I had to add a gift certificate and apply that before using my Amazon credit card to pay the difference that was over my limit. One ding for that!

I make the majority of my on-line purchases through Amazon. Whenever I get a damaged product or one that doesn't fulfill my expectations, I just send it back using their very simple process and my account is credited for the return. They have great products and I love their Wish List program. I have all my family members generate wish lists so that I can buy their presents using their list. It's quick, easy, fast, and the recipient of the gift is always satisfied. Amazon is the Best Shopping vendor on the internet.

Amazon again!
June 7, 2017

I don't buy everything from Amazon, but I do usually end up with various options on any particular product I may be searching for, and with Prime, I usually get it shipped for free - my membership pays for itself in a couple months.
