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

Fees too high
April 24, 2017

We all know that Amazon is a great website to buy and sell products on, but their seller fees really eat up your margins. Hope they can lower them a little

Simply 5 stars
April 24, 2017

I dont think Amazon needs any more advertising. I always buy with confidence as I know they will make it right no matter what, even if it goes beyond standard policies.

I trust Amazon with a lot of my shopping needs. Website is easy to navigate, product reviews are easy to find. I just find it not very searchable, not enough filters for some things

Relaxing
April 24, 2017

Late at night, I find myself enjoying the treasures on Amazon. It's great to get a good deal on nice stuff, in so many different categories. I have saved a lot of money on books and music instruments.

Love Amazom
April 23, 2017

I shop at Amazon quite frequently, but not enough to become member of Prime Time. The prices of the items are great, but the shipping is the killer of the deal for me. Sometimes they should offer a " free shipping day".

I love amazon. This is the first place I go for most everything. I have saved a lot of time and gas using this site. My choices are much wider and have discovered many other items that I really had not thought of. There are a lot of commonly used items that you can get at amazon at a much better price than going to the local stores and they are delivered to your door. I have Prime and am happy with it but even without the prime I would use.

I've used Amazon a lot, and it's gotten easier to do over the years. Probably too easy to search through because I keep coming back more often than I can afford. I don't have any interest in Prime since speed of delivery isn't an issue for me - and I don't want to pay their price for the service. But my items arrive in good shape and soon enough for me. I've never had a problem - so far.

Beware of fake items
April 21, 2017

I purchase a lot of items from Amazon and I love the convenience and good deals but I've found that some of those "good deals" are fakes. The ones I've come across are Yeti cups, expensive shampoo and other hair products that were definitely altered or fake. The problem is the return policy doesn't address fraudulent items, so if you don't realize immediately your product is a fake, you are stuck with the ineffective product and paying the price. Beware!

I have ordered several things on Amazon. My daughter lives out west so the free shipping with prime is awesome. Worth the cost. I would spend it on postage. Unless otherwise stated it always arrives in two days twice didn't get an item and my money was refunded immediately. I have had no problem with quality and the few times I did I returned the item for free.
