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 ordered fuses yesterday and when I was making the purchase it went from next day delivery to two day delivery. I called and they fixed it right away, no charge. Great customer care. Thank you.

Seller Fees are tooooooo high. This is no business this is taking adventage of other people. In couple instances I had to sell the book cheaper than their fees, basically had to add money to their business. I sold the book for $3.57 but their fee is 3.91. And this is seller fulfilled, I send the books! Toooooo much for just using their site!

It used to be that you needed to chase down the best place to purchase items online, but these days it's nearly impossible to beat the combination of using Amazon.com along with their "Prime" membership, which gives you not only unlimited 2-day shipping for purchases made there, but also adds numerous services like Prime Music, Prime Video, etc. When you use one of their Fire-TV devices (I use the 'stick') it turns your television into a one-stop source for all things streaming.

They still set standard for online retailer. I've been a customer for 17 years. Never a hassle. Returns are easy, huge product selection. I look at consumer reviews to get product information.

Student Prime
May 17, 2017

I'm a college student, and at the beginning of semesters, I often need a lot of school supplies and textbooks. With Amazon Student Prime, I can get my textbooks for the lowest price out there with free 2-day shipping. Who can beat that? And on top of the great shipping deal, I have access to Prime Video, which is great for the weekends when I'm not doing homework. Just hook the laptop up to the TV, call over my buddies, and watch a movie with some popcorn. Theres a great selection with Prime Video

Been using Amazon for years now since 2007 and back then I would have been skeptical. But now I shop with 100% confidence that amazon won't leave my purchases incomplete. If an item goes missing, is damaged, lost or seller didn't ship on time, I get my refund right away within a day or two. If the item is on back ordered I'm notified instantly before placing it. Their inventory system is immaculate. It's no wonder their stock prices are incredibly high. Their innovative online shopping experience extends to 2 hours shipping with amazon prime NOW. I can't remember the last time driving in traffic and wasting my time at a store. Hands down best online marketplace ever.

Any time I've ordered books, food, clothes, art supplies, even a part for my daughters car, everything has been packaged well, shipped & delivered on time and received in perfect working order. Now that I'm kind of laid up (waiting for hip surgery in June), I've been ordering all our groceries (except fish & meats) thru Amazon Fresh! WOW is all I can say! Every single thing is truly "fresh" and put in iced boxes so it stays that way. Great options and free delivery if you're a Prime Member. Even after my surgery, I just might continue with this "Fresh". Love the front door delivery (and no one shoving their grocery cart up my backside :( )

Fast and cheap. They are the Borg. Everytime I need something, I wind up returning to them. I just need to remember to allow a few days for shipping.

I live in a fairly rural area and shopping is somewhat limited. I order from Amazon on a regular basis and am very happy with their service and products. I can also donate to one of my favorite causes with my purchases.
