User Friendly Site
April 3, 2017

Amazon is so user friendly, and they don't require an ID to return merchandise, which many stores are now doing. I don't want stores swiping my ID cards since they can be hacked. I am buying everything I can from Amazon. I also appreciate what they are doing for writers.

Trusted Company
April 3, 2017

Few month ago i needed to buy a desk top computer, My son advised me to buy through Amazon and though its not easy for me to trust online shopping, as before i had a bad experience, I did and nearly a year now I am using and enjoying the product, had no problems till now thanks God. I'm a very happy customer as living on a budget is not fun.and reliability is so important. I would encourage anyone to do so, especially if you can open and account with Ebay. Mk

It's bleeding ridiculous. I don't even have one use of Amazon except for buying books.

Every item each and every other item does not ship to my country. I get so frustrated it's not even real.

What's the use of getting Prime when I won't even be able to buy anything.

This is by far the best website out there. You can find anything you want as well as get new ideas. If you haven't tried it you don't know what you are missing

Fast ship
April 3, 2017

So on many occasions I have gotten my items fairly fast, they have Amazon prime 2 day ship, yet I know now not all items qualify for that as my one item won't be here for over 5 it says. I do like to order a ton. I recommend it only if you buy weekly for the prime other wise it is a huge waste of 99 dollars!

All in one
April 3, 2017

Used this site numerous times to get various items and always that was a good experience. The most fun thing about the service is that everything is gathered in one place - so u can get items of different types from different departments and get them all in one parcel!

I had placed an order on Amazon through JFinc on March 3 of this year 2017 and never got the book. I tried to leave a review regarding JFinc as being a fraudulent seller as indicated on scam sellers. Amazon wouldn't allow the review claiming it was a violation of terms and conditions. I would have thought amazon would have wanted their customers to be aware of thieves. But apparently not. How are we to protect ourselves against scammers if amazon won't let us get a heads up by reading reviews on these scam artists on their site?

The Prime products are OK, but the products from the third party sellers are horrible. Purchase carefully from them.

I used to have a high opinion of Amazon, but standards have slipped so low now that it is beyond shocking. When the owner of the company can't be bothered to deal with issues such as paying royalties, you know there is trouble.

After 4 or 5 months of not being paid by Merch by Amazon, and 2 months of non-stop e-mails, I have given up. Jeff Bezos, you must be desperate for the money because you do not pay your contributors. Clearly he needs the money so much more than I do.

I will not be replying to any further comments. You have wasted two months of my time, and even e-mailing Jeff Bezos results in no reply. This serves as a public announcement of how Merch by Amazon treats the people who are making money for them. They should be ashamed, but they are not. It is a sham, and the US government should investigate this scam.

Excellent!

An excellent service with very prompt worldwide shipping and quite good return policy. The Amazon Guarantee goods(or whatever its called) are easily refunded whenever you encounter any problems with those, and the support makes it even faster!
