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.

Amazon has a VAST array of products with awesome photographs. Product details and reviews are amazing. Check out could not be any faster. HATS OFF to Amazon.com. My only negative comment is to numerous companies from whom I make purchases that sell only on EBAY.

Prime
January 12, 2016

When I first signed up for prime it guaranteed 2 day shipping. Now that 2 day shipping is closer to a week on most items. Not what I pay for annually and disappointed.

Amazon and kindle
January 12, 2016

I received a kindle for my birthday. I believe it came from amazon. No instructions. So I had to ask questions on how to get started. Once this was done. And as I use this kindle I have grown to enjoy it. The free selections are nice short reads.

I've bought header bolts, microwaves, large curved screen Ultra HD televisions, and many other products from Amazon and as long as they keep me as satisfied as I am I will continue being a customer for them.

World's largest retailer

It's amazing how many products you can purchase through Amazon! Always the best quality and if you don't like it you can send it back. Always on time receipt of merchandise. I am a Prime member and love it!

I've been with Amazon as a customer almost as long as they've been selling online. Amazon is the best quality most reliable online retailer on the internet.

They stand behind the products they sell and I've never had a problem getting a refund if the product doesn't come up to my expectations.

The variety of products they directly or indirectly sell is staggering.

Thanks for making my life soooooo much easier Amazon.

I have ordered so much! I get the best prices on everything from school books to laundry detergent, pool sand, trail cameras, pool filters, refrigerator filters, car and RV parts and tv's. You name ut they gave it! As a member of prime you get FREE shipping and they gift wrap awesome for Christmas shopping! You can sign up for delivery confirmations to know EXACTLY when your item will and does arrive. If you ever have an issue they handlet it right away, especially if you email, and replace your order. Should your order come from a 3rd party Amazon gets right on them to make it right. I've only had 2 problems in 12 years and as soon as Amazon was notified I had a resolution within days at my doorstep. You can rent books and movies too! Costly items like the teeth bleaching systems the dentist use you can get for 1/4 the cost. Love it! You can't go wrong! They stand by thier customers

I have used Amazon for years and years now, and I haven't been disappointed. I was surprised at the level of customer service, the few times I have had to call them. The best selection on the interwebs for sure. Cant go wrong with Amazon

Wonderful
January 10, 2016

I live in Italy and regularly i buy from Amazon. Everything I bought was okey. The products were shipped quickly and everything went well. I have no experience buying from Australia, but I am sure that with Amazon, everything would perfect.

We Love Amazon
January 10, 2016

Since discovering Amazon 1 yr ago I've placed over 120 orders for personal and business items. We own a lodge near Yellowstone Park and use all kinds of products for our rooms, laundry and restaurant that we buy on Amazon. The Prime membership is well worth the money. The fast shipping is greatly appreciated and keeps us running smoothly.
