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.

WE were bummed when Etsy allowed re-sellers to flood the market where once only handmade crafters were. We are loving the handmade section of amazon for the selec tion and ease of use.

I buy almost everything on Amazon that I can get without going to the grocery store. I have prime membership which does cost yearly but it makes up for it for me within a month or two. I get paper towels in bulk, toilet paper in bulk, my shampoo, Pet products, and I can go on and on. Everything comes to my door within two days. What more could you ask for? If I have to call Amazon or have a problem with an order they have excellent customer service representatives that are always willing to help you. I have never, ever had a problem with returning the product or getting my money back for whatever reason. It is an excellent company.

Use this religiously
November 16, 2015

This is my go-to place to purchase almost anything. From gifts and books to games and electronics. I have been a member of Prime for many years, and the shipping cannot be beat. Also, I have not had problems when my package arrived damaged or was stolen, Amazon always took care of the problem.

I have never had a bad experience from Amazon. I have been a Prime member for at least 3 years. If I need anything I check there prices first. 90% of the time they are the cheapest and I can get it in 2 days. I accidentally got the wrong blinds once and returning them was so easy. I have had one item purchased that was through a seller on Amazon and they did not accept returns even though they listed item incorrectly. Since then I only buy direct from Amazon or sellers who accept returns.

I buy so much through Amazon and they are so quick, easy and have some great deals as well. I also love that if you ever have any difficulties they always cover your orders or refund you without any issue. They are probably the place I buy online the most-aside from Groupon!

Amazon is the number one online shopping site I would go before anywhere else. The most reliable shopping network where you can find almost anything, fast shipping and I always find good bargains here. I am a prime member so its even more fun because most of the time I get free shipping! Look no further if you're looking for bargain. Love it!

Pretty good
November 13, 2015

I have used Amazon on multiple occasions, generally with great success. The site is very easy to use with an enormous number of products to browse, meaning it is often my first port of call.
With the exception of one product and another that failed to arrive (although the seller agreed to send another), I have been delighted with all of my purchases. The one issue I had with the company itself was probably my own fault, but is something anyone reading should be aware of. If you become a Prime member on the 3 day free trial (which I clicked on by accident), and then do not cancel this at the end of the complimentary period; you become a full member and are charged for the privilege. I may have been informed of this at some point and just failed to read it though.

DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!
November 13, 2015

I love Amazon! I have been a loyal Prime Member since 2008 and rarely shop anywhere else unless I can find the item at a lower price which is rarely the case. As far as Customer Service, there just isn't anyone better. I had a very rare occurrence back in August of this year. I ordered an item and twice it never showed up despite the tracking saying it had been delivered. It was being sent from Dell and not Amazon. I called Customer Service and without any headache at all, they shipped FREE OF CHARGE overnight the item. I was speechless. I say, "rare" because I just don't have problems with their site. It's nice to know in today's world there is still a company one can count on to deliver what they say! THANKS AMAZON! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Great!
November 13, 2015

I have been dealing with Amazon for several years and their service after sale is great.
At many occasions, I had to return the merchandises because of missing parts, doesn't perform as it should, etc. And the CSR people I talked to were always courteous and polite. They took the time to explain to me how to make the return as smooth as possible.
What is good with a retail company if the after sale service sucks right?
Anyway, I am a happy customer with Amazon.

Hands down the best online shopping website. If Amazon doesn't have it, you don't need it. Been a Prime Member for 6 years now and Amazon is always the 1st website I go to when looking for an item.

Best Comparison Shopper
November 13, 2015

Amazon.com is definitely your go-to site when you are comparison shopping for just about anything online. It is always one of the sites I check before I buy anything online (period).
