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.

The only on line shop
September 27, 2016

Amazon is the only place I use 90% of the time when I shop online. I have had one instance
Where I had to return a product and that experience was flawless. I guess there might be other places like Amazon but I will stay with them until I am convinced that they don't care about me.

Amazon is great
September 26, 2016

Amazon is always there for you if you get a product you don't like all you got to do is tell them they send you a label you pop it on and you mail it back and you get a refund

Usually very reliable
September 25, 2016

Shipping is always just as they tell you but sometimes the orders may come incorrectly sent which happened to me a small handful of times with Amazon. Other than that they've been perfect

Prime
September 25, 2016

Love me some Amazon!
We have the Prime membership and we love it!
The prices compare to the ones we have locally. And it comes in 2 days most of the time. If you order on Thurs or Fri them it takes a little longer.

Amazon has a lot of quality products and its prime membership makes most shipments free of shipping costs. However, Amazon does not allow you to select the carrier and may select one that cannot deliver to your address. My address is a Rural route Box and they have repeatedly sent shipments through UPS. That carrier just returns the packages. I have contacted Amazon several times and they promise to put a note on my record to not use UPS and the same thing happens again.

All Smoke and Mirrors
September 23, 2016

Amazon.com sucks! Their customer service reps are useless. If you have to call more than once on a problem you get a different rep every time. The previous rep doesn't always note the details of your phone call so the next time you call you discover that the previous rep lied to you in whatever they told you. And if you call a third time it only get worse.

It is even worse if you bought the item from a third party vendor and not Amazon itself.

Amazon's listings are the worst for product information. Then if you call Amazon for further info on a given product the phone reps have no idea about product info beyond what's on the screen in the listing.

Great prices and services
September 24, 2016

Amazon is becoming one of my favorite sites to shop these days. The prices are considerately lower than many sites. Delivery time is reasonable and the return policies are pretty awesome too. So far I never had any issues even when I had to return some items.

Bezos is no Bozo
September 22, 2016

This company just keeps getting better and better. In 1999, when Jeff Bezos said "we are going to sell everything to everyone" I thought he was smoking funny cigarettes. Maybe he was... Combined with eBay, brick and mortar retailing has little hope. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon bought UPS.

For the price, I've been practically refunded 100% of my subscription fee by foregoing the free 2 day shipping and selecting no-rush shipping. Then I've chosen about $100 worth of digital content and paid with the credits. With the Amazon Flash deals, I've saved a ton of money. Definitely worth the money!

I just signed up for a Prime membership after passing on it for a number of years and all I can say is I wish I had done it sooner. I would estimate that while shopping for something (anything) I will find it cheaper on Amazon.com about 90% of the time. Also the review system on there is extremely helpful when deciding on whether to buy something. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because there seems to be alot of "review in exchange for free item" type reviews on there lately which I am always suspicious of and would like to see Amazon address. Other than that I love them :)
