Many customers report frustration with unresponsive service representatives and convoluted processes for refunds and account issues.

I love the convenience and the speed of ordering and getting things on line. Amazon has so much available and has a system that is flawless. I also get free shipping with Amazon Prime.

Great overall
October 4, 2015

Wide variety of products, mostly reputable sellers. Amazon makes sure that everything goes well for you; they help get your money back if something goes wrong, which it rarely does. I buy clothes, food, toys, and books from Amazon on the regular. They rock!

Prime is like Air!
October 3, 2015

I have been an Amazon member 4ever and when Prime was introduced it was a life changing experience. I recommended the service to all my family members who are avid readers and gift buyers. It is a busy mom's dream site. Love it- never leaving.

Customer service!
October 2, 2015

It is kind of a harsh customer experience from amazon, they are rigid and not that customer friendly or flexible to relate with.
I guess the way they take security with their business is to the extreme.

Sunglasses
October 2, 2015

I recently purchased some sunglasses from Amazon. They showed up looking like somebody had worn them in a fight. They were wire frames thank goodness so I bent them back into shape. The right lens had a big scratch down the front of it, and they had grease marks on the inside of the lens where someone had at the very least tried them on. Not what I expected and I won't purchase my sunglasses this way again.

Removing options in place of obstacles... bad move. Won't be renewing our Prime subscription when it's up.

I have ordered lots of things including lights, movies, dry erase board and cards. Never had any problems at all. Items come when they say packaging is great. The one time I had a problem it was refunded in 1 day

I have used Amazon at work and for home purchases. I have purchased books, computer supplies and other essentials. There is usually more than one option to choose from. I also hold an amazon chase credit card and the points you make are easily redeemed.
Delivery of products are very fast.

Aside from the ''localization'' problems ( ''This item cannot be shipped to your country''), it's a really nice site to select whatever you want and compare prices. Also they should package or store items a little better, as small amount of damages are always there upon delivery. Keep in mind that getting defected items are also always possible from Amazon. Returning is quite a chore and the items are not always the best quality for their availability.

Lots of user tools. Only complaint, deals categories are quite hard to find. I end up finding them through their affiliates links.
They now show detailed price changes so that is no longer on my wish list. Even better would be a price history and a 'find more like this' option straight from the wish list. But one thing at a time.
Overall, Amazon is awesome. They keep making upgrades so I'm a happy customer.

Love Amazon Prime
September 30, 2015

I wasn't so sure about Amazon Prime at first, and I haven't been able to find a single bad thing to say about it. Its definitely worth the money.
