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.

Absolutely AMAzing
January 5, 2016

Any time I have had an issue with Amazon, they are quick to resolve it. Usually I ask for a representative in the United States so I don't get frustrated with a language barrier. I am a very satisfied customer of Amazon

Never had problems.
January 4, 2016

I have ordered multiple times from Amazon, both directly from Amazon and through third party sales from the site. I have never had any issues with anything I have ever ordered. My items were always delivered faster than the estimated arrival date, and they were always as described. The shipping costs are a bit high sometimes, but otherwise I enjoy this site.

I LIKE AMAZON
January 3, 2016

I am a U.S. citizen that is retired and living in Mexico. Amazon has a site here amazon.com.mx but it is really bad. The prices are sky-high as compared to the U.S. site and many things are listed as not available/out-of-stock.

The thing is I have frequent family visits so I buy things on the U.S. site and have stuff brought down. Their international shipping rates aren't bad either if I need something "now" but quite a few things they won't ship to Mexico.

The one thing that pisses me off is I have to use my family's credit cards as my credit cards are Mexican and are in pesos. Amazon gives very unfair exchange rates when they convert from U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos.

Having said all that, they have everything, their prices are good, their Website is very well designed and easy to use, they are nice people in my experience and have excellent Support. I didn't rate them perfect because of the exchange rate issue, but they really are a good company to work with.

Love amazon. With the wish list feature, you will never be disappointed at gift giving time. With amazon prime, there are so many bennies. Tv shows, music and more. Not to mention the shipping options!

I've had an Amazon account since its early days, when they used to sell mostly books. Their service was always A+ (secure transaction and packing, fast shipping), but the international shipping costs were always terribly high. Buying from resellers was an option, but shipping would still cost me up to ten times more than the product.

Huge selection of products, many times cheaper that other sites, offer prime 2 day shipping with membership. Their return policy needs work tho-should not have to pay for return shipping when the item you get is of poor quality.
Also has paid for reviews. And reviews given by people that can't spell, have poor grammar, and some just make no sense.

Amazon is great!
January 2, 2016

I have been using Amazon upwards of three years now.My experience with them has been great.The shipping is fast, and any problems are quickly resolved. I have a few issues though I would like to see changed. I would like to see the "true price"right up front.In that I mean the price of the item and the shipping together up front, instead of going through the checkout to get the total cost. This will sometimes send me over my budget, as I dont know the shipping cost until later. There are many items that are "add on items"that cant be bought exept under certain conditions, and they are usually the better items and the brands that you want. I would like to see these items offered to everyone.And lastly, I would love to see some "specials" for loyal customers who are not Prime members. Maybe coupons or promo codes such as 30% off your next order, etc. I hope Amazon sees this, I would love for them to think about these issues! Overall though, this is a really good site and I would recommend shopping with them anytime.

Love Amazon
January 2, 2016

Amazon.com is a great website. I'm a buyer and seller. I've ordered many different things from the site (from phone cases and high end juicers to backpacks and snake bedding) and it's amazing but, I can't complain about anything I've received.

The prices are great (I've never paid for shipping), it's fast (especially if you have Prime), and like I've said, I can't complain about anything I've ever received. It's all good quality stuff and works and looks as advertised.

Just signed up for Amazon Prime. So far, so good. Not a fan of Jeff Bezos and his workplace culture, but I have to admit he puts out a good product.

Great
December 31, 2015

Love Amazon, you can find just about anything on there - if Amazon doesn't have it it probably doesn't exist. The prices are obviously great and prime shipping is fast and free, though prime does now cost $99 a year or something like that. It's worth it though if you shop online regularly, plus with prime there is a lot of good shows as well. I like the old HBO shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Oz, Band of Brothers, etc. which are all "free" (well not really free, but included with the $90-something a year membership). Shipping has always been very fast, I would highly recommend.
