I've never dealt with any merchant who was more fair, more understanding, more reliable. Jeff Bezos for President!

Amazon.ca sucks
March 13, 2017

Mostly they don't match their American website. Deliveries are almost always delayed. Customer service is pathetic, they have fixed pre-set answers to any issue you have. Worst is when you buy something cheaper, they will make it unavailable and delay the delivery by weeks, or will force you to cancel the order, and re order at a higher price. I have done this at least twice and end up buying at Walmart.ca, who are highly reliable with price and delivery.

Love my Prime!
March 14, 2017

Free shipping within 2 days, even delivers on Sunday! Order from the Prime Now if you're feeling under the weather and ran out of teabags... 2 hours free ship to your door! LOVE IT! Try to only order what they have in stock as sometimes if it's another vendor the order is incorrect. Then pain in the butt to return...

Prime experience
March 14, 2017

Amazon is always one step ahead of the curve. When introducing Prime, I wasn't sure it would be worth the extra $$$ but after two years of happy shopping with fast shipping and great availability through multiple sellers, this is the best shopping website. Done deal. Nothing left to say.

Amazon has virtually anything you might want, in particular hard to find items and shipments arrive quickly without any hassles if you need to return an item. Very very happy with all the contact(s) I have had with them!

So easy!
March 13, 2017

I can almost immediately find what I'm looking for on their site. And even if I don't, an ad will pop up in a day or two with more choices. I once got a pre-lit Christmas palm tree for 70% off after initially searching a few days before for one!
All that being said, I love Amazon & always go there first when I'm in the market for... anything!

There's a couple of time that my merchandise takes more than 2 days shipping. Last month I purchased a serving plate, it was on prime. It took almost 2 weeks for them to deliver my purchase.

BAD SERVICE!
March 12, 2017

Wth is going on, Amazon?! I was prime member, cancelled it and won't be dealing with Amazon any time soon. Their logistics messed up most my delivery instructions. Even after me calling costumer service and specifically asking for them NOT to mess up, they still did. I'm starting to think it was intentional. More i asked, more they kept messing things up.!. Each time I asked to talk to supervisors they either refused to or simply hang up on me! Done with Amazon for good.

Bad service!
March 12, 2017

I give Amazon A LOT of my money, lately, they seem to be lacking in their customer service. I've received wrong items, clothing that comes damaged and much longer shipping times than what was estimated. You contact customer service about it and you get a generic reply.

Hugs!
March 12, 2017

I say hugs because when I'm really digging & trying to find an item that has eluded me I turn to Amazon. Generally I'm able to locate what I've searched for. Good prices most always:-)

Fabulous!
March 12, 2017

As a member of Prime, I receive most everything in two days or less and have never had a problem with a return no matter what the circumstances. I can't recommend them enough!
