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.

Confidence
October 3, 2016

I have purchased numerous items from Amazon. I am heartened by the fact that my confidence in them continues to grow. I cannot say that about most. I appreciate finding good experiences in a world that doesn't always live up to a high standard.

Everything
October 3, 2016

I started using Amazon years ago to buy books. Since then I have purchased a number of new and used items. Amazon is great! Returns are efficiently handled. The usually ship right when you place your order. Mostly even the items from independent sellers are handled well and easily.

I make a list of odd items the family asks for, something I seldom use needed for a recipe, gifts coming up etc. and then set aside a few hours to peruse the site. Since we live in the country, this kind of list might be a full day of errands pre-Amazon. We are Prime members so shipping is free, and sometimes I am avoiding sales tax as well. I compare prices, look for sales or warehouse overstock and read customer feedback, while sipping a cup of coffee or iced tea. Make my choices, select my delivery options--sometimes 2 days away sometimes a week (for extra credit on future buys), and I know I can return, for free, anything unsuitable. Got to say, I'm liking this better than big stores, parking hassles, forgetting things yada yada.

Horrible!
October 2, 2016

I have been using wag for years! I placed an order Sept 19 for my dogs special food due to allergies! This was sent to Florida address we have not been at in almost 2 years. I have no idea why, it was my address in Illinois on order! Apology said would ship another order right away. Next thing I hear another week later is somehow this order including case of canned food was damaged! Will send another order, today I called begging them where is it! So sorry again damaged. It was obvious they did not want to pay for order that they messed up in Florida so kept this up till my dog has no allergy free food! Will never use this expensive site again after years. Use Chew much more responsible and friendly! Stay away from Wag.com.

Love me some Amazon
October 3, 2016

I despise going to my local Walmart. It's 14 miles from me, overcrowded, full of associates who are not helpful, etc. I decided to try Amazon instead of going to Walhell. I decided on a prime membership because we order enough to make it worth it. Since we are both handicapped, the husband and I are delighted with the amazingly fast shipping, the excellent customer service, the huge selection of stuff that we often can't find locally in our small town, and the fact that we don't have to struggle to navigate crowds and store aisles that often are clogged up with crap.

Not happy with prime lately. Not all packages arriving in two days. Think they changed their terms

Amazon continues to blow me away with their prime delivery, great selection of merchandise, and easiest shopping ever, but I just had the best customer service experience of my life, and that was with Amazing Amazon! The customer rep who contacted me over the phone went above and beyond to solve the issue, even calling back the next day to be sure I had received my package! She was so pleasant and helpful! What a DELIGHT to do business with this company!

Amazon makes it super easy to access everything they have to sell. Plus, if you accidentally order or sign up for something that you thought you'd cancelled but didn't, they are super accommodating about fixing the problem!

I don't have to worry about address verification "check ups" as claimed by Newegg.com who keeps rejecting my payments.

Amazon never fails to impress. I returned a flawed tablet and they refunded my money within one hour of the UPS pick up. Items always arrive when they say, site is very user friendly and products extensive. My favorite online company.

I have been shopping on Amazon for a few years. Some of the Sellers are really great, but others not so great. The products I use I order from Amazon, and they usually have just about everything.
