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.

A point to keep in mind
November 20, 2015

It's a great website and a great service, but you know what I hate? The one-click buy option. It's cool and saves time. But if you are too quick and your hands are suddenly shaking (for either no reason or because you're in haste), you can easily press this button by freaking mistake. Your cat may press it! And voila - you end up with a book you don't need. I think I could make use of the return service but this was en e-book and it cost me 3 euros (only), so I decided I didn't need to bother. But at that moment, I hated Amazon and their "accidental mistake" services.

Pros:
- Almost next day delivery, free of charge
- Nearby every imaginable item can be ordered
- you can choose between new or second hand stuff and save money

Cons:
- no guarantee of best rate on the market, sometime big price difference, so you have to compare prior ordering.

OK
November 18, 2015

Never had a problem ordering from Amazon, shipping is always on time. Sometimes I don't get what I'm paying for but you can't really blame Amazon for what a seller provides you with. Good site.

"Reflecting"
November 18, 2015

I enjoy read the book it was different and refreshing. I thought that some of the poems were too short, because the book was interesting.

Shop all the time
November 18, 2015

Very good prices, many no shipping charge.
For the most part good contact with sellers if there is problem, which is usually taken care of quickly.

Amazon again in future
November 18, 2015

Can only agree. In future over amazon with the amazon guidelines. Then it can not happen to me like it did when I ordered from a homepage directly from china and landed with a wrong size, porterage too high to send back, and a tax bill on top of it. Has never happened to me with Amazon so sticking with them, they say clearly if they are liable or not.

I LOVE AMAZON!
November 18, 2015

I buy almost everything from Amazon. You can shop on Amazon with NO WORRIES! I am always afraid of getting ripped off on other internet sites but not on Amazon. Their customer service is WONDERFUL! I have had great shopping experiences on Amazon and I tell everybody about it! Try it for yourself and see.

LOVE Amazon shopping
November 17, 2015

Been a Prime member for over 2 years. Order just about everything from them. They always deliver and stand behind their products. Free returns and it's very easy.

What can I say?
November 17, 2015

I am a really hardcore shopper on Amazon. And I am really happy each time I spend my money at Amazon. It is super fast and if I got any problems (2 times only) I got helped super fast and without any problems. So if you are new in online shopping - give Amazon a try.

We have amazon prime... love it! We use it for business purchases and personal. Wicked fast shipping and sometimes it is delivered the same day as ordered. They are trust-worthy and I've never had a problem when I needed to return an item. It's so worth the money!
