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

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.

Amazon is a great place to buy almost anything. Prices are usually lower than in brick and mortar stores and you avoid crowds, and no show sales personnel. You shop in your chair and check out is extremely easy, even has a one click checkout for buyers who are already logged in. Amazon has some credit options and offers gift cards for someone who is a hard to shop for person. I would definitely recommend shopping at Amazon.

No problems ever

Never had an issue with orders for business or personal use whether using Prime or not. Not always the best prices but along with Staples the most reliable deliveries.

I've been a loyal customer for years. There have been frequent issues from poorly packaged boxes that resulted in damaged goods, to the wrong items being sent, to the most recent and reason they no longer have my business, the information on the website regarding their autoship was incorrect and is still incorrect indicating a box is to be sent that has already been sent and did not reflect the changes I made to my order. Their customer service is very lacking, I never felt valued or appreciated as a customer who has spent thousands of dollars with them, and their suggested resolutions to the issues were never adequate. Recently their stock is low and I've found better prices elsewhere. Don't do business with them.

Hate the spamming
March 22, 2017

I have requested once that amazon remove me from the email sharing- pool that sends your email to third party sellers who in turn spam your inbox with "How did we do? Do you like our product? Please leave us a positive review!" I actually responded once to one of the emails, the product was supposedly delivered on a Sunday but I did not recieve it. Then I got an email back from the third party seller stating that amazon was responsible for shipping and I would need to contact amazon about a lost product. This company just wanted a positive review for a missing purchase. If amazon is responsible for selling, acquring, and shipping the item to me, why does this third party company need my email? If I so choose to leave a review, that is my business. If Macy's foreign suppliers called you every time you left the store to ask you to go online and review the clothes you just bought, would you shop at Macy's? This should not be allowed, amazon.

I have ordered countless items from Amazon. I have had very few issues and when I did they quickly remedied the issue. I hope they never change.

I just don't particularly care for the disclaimers. If an item is refurbished, list it where we can all see it! A lot of the items that I purchase on here aren't that high quality. You get what you pay for.

Amazon is by far the best site to shop at. You find anything and everything at great prices. Shipping is quick and Prime is the best thing that happened to retail therapy. Returns are no hassle at all which i love. Literally have no negative. Love amazon.

I have purchased from amazon for years, suddenly they refuse my orders claiming I was rejected by telecheck. Telecheck will not allow inquires with out joining which I refuse to do as I've had two bad experiences with them in the past. BBB has ONLY all negative posts about them from posters to BBB.

I used Amazon to purchase most of the items needed for my son's wedding. I had no issue with any of the vendors but one. It was for two sets of engraved dog tags by TagZ. Both sets engravings were wrong and had two different dates, neither of which were the actual wedding date. Since they arrived too late to return we had no way of replacing them and they just had to be tossed out. When Amazon sent me the email to review the different products I had purchased they accepted ALL EXCEPT the review for this company stating that they arrived late, vendor did not reply to email sent, and the engraving was wrong on both of them. BEWARE of the reviews on Amazon as they are very selective of which one they will allow to be posted. The only thing in their guidelines that they sent me for why they could have possibly denied my review is that the purchase must be $50 or mores. The irony is most of the other purchase they had me review for the same event were all under $50 but as they were mostly positive it seems that was the criteria used as to which ones they allowed to be posted and which one they denied to post.

So long as you realize what you are getting and make sure the seller is rated good (for me that's 99% or better), you will be happy with your order.

If you think you are getting the greatest deal ever, then be ready to be disappointed. A large chunk of the stuff sold there is made in China or within that part of the world. You buy cheap, expect cheap.
