Amazon Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from frequent delivery delays, inadequate customer support, and challenges with returns. 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 return something and found out later that it was not from Amazon so it was discounted another five dollars and if you return anything you do not get any of your taxes that you paid. Anytime I shop anywhere I always get my taxes back and when I return something I get the full price. So do you watch what you're buying on Amazon because it may not be able to be returned for one and/or it may be discounted. So you may lose in the end, Just make sure that it's what you want and you don't have to return it. This is one of the worst sites ever to return something I have canceled my credit card I will shop somewhere else. This is the first time I ever returned anything to Amazon and I have been with them for three years. This is how they treat a good customer.

I LOVE Amazon
January 14, 2017

Easy to order - easy returns. Amazon Prime is worth the fee. If you can't find something on Amazon - it probably doesn't exist.

Amazing
January 14, 2017

I've never had any problems with Amazon. I buy a few things here and there and always rent books from them. I have prime so I have access to movies and shows which is a good plus. There shipping is great and always on time sometimes even early too which is great. Amazon knows what they're doing. Good job.

Amazon is great! I can usually find what I am looking for, even obscure things, or Amazon provides alternative sites to find them. It is wonderful that a company provides alternatives, whether they have the item available or not... it lends to their credibility.

Never disappoints.
January 13, 2017

Be a savvy shopper; know your goods and prices. Amazon is competitive but not always. When I have ordered I have not been disappointed and have only had one issue with a price change to which they responded favorably.

Customer Care Department
January 13, 2017

I placed an order two days ago for diapers and wipes. I arrived today just as they said it would however the wipes were missing. I wrote customer service and got a reply from Lianne A. Within an hour apologizing for the missing item and insuring me it would be replaced, two minutes later I received a new confirmation and tracking number! Yes it sucks being a single dad and having to run out for wipes at 7pm, but the resposnse time and care was above and beyond! We all make mistakes, will definatly be a repeat customer.

Super Customer Service
January 12, 2017

I just made my first online purchase with Amazon. My experience was 10 out of 10 to purchase Technic Lego products from Amazon. No hassles, accurate delivery dates at my local post office and prices that I could not get locally. Thank you Amazon!

While the site offered the best price there were several items that did not include free shipping like they were on other sites. Get more aggressive amazon... eBay beat you on the shipping.

L recently heard from 4 amazon sellers about their feedback scores that they got from amazon " buyers " l was SHOCKED to hear that amazon allows " buyers" to leave FALSE, MISLEADING AND SLANDEROUS feedback! Amazon's reply is that this type of feedback DOES NOT fall into their " unacceptable category ". Common sense should tell you that this type of feedback should NEVER be allowed. However, amazon thinks it's just fine! This type of feedback destroys the good name of honest sellers. Those that leave this type of feedback are quite often competitors masquerading as buyers. Their goal is to eliminate their competition. And amazon is ready and willing to encourage this stupidity. This is a new low for amazon! They claim they stand for honesty. Yeah sure!
