I ordered some fairly expensive facial moisturizer with sunscreen, along with some that was less expensive. I started in on the cheaper stuff, and then I tried the $$ brand. The pump on the bottle would not work--I tried everything.
By this time the 30 day window for return was past. I wrote Amazon anyway, explaining the situation.
Before the day was over, they had ANSWERED MY EMAIL and REFUNDED MY MONEY!
Now that's service!
I <3 Amazon
I have been using Amazon for years and it just keeps on getting better. What really helps is to be a PRIME member since you get all of your stuff shipped in two days or less. So far I have bought textbooks, baby toys, Kindle, Amazon Echo, Amazon fire, books, phone covers, RC planes, and car parts. Amazon really is a one stop shop. On top of this Amazon has a thriving review and online community. Ask a question and you will get an answer. Amazon really has it all, anytime to be delivered anywhere.
Update from my earlier review of this site giant... My most recent purchases include an audio item, and then the present, a mixed-small-item purchase, still to be delivered. The 1st took 2 tries (warehouse deals) because the 1st didn't operate at all (wasted time!); thankfully, the 2nd was the winner. Then with my present order: Am very frustrated with their present delivery arrangement. I, of course, opted for free ship, which stated 5-8days, but in the process of completing the order, I was immediately informed that it would arrive in 9days- this is fraudulent, and ridiculously long, by today's standards (I shop at many sites). (the audio item took 7 days) Today is over 4 days after I placed the last order, and it hasn't been pulled yet, so I doubt it will arrive on the 9th day. Wasted an hour w/ cust. Service (3 reps) who could not accelerate the order (one item would have an increased price), and after all that, would not even issue a courtesy store credit, for the FRAUDULENT advertising, and my wasted time (a small credit was offered in the distant past by their reps). I believe the few customers who haven't paid for Prime Ship are penalized for doing so... all other "shortcuts" and customer disservice are apparently needed to fund Bezos' master plan to overtake the world. Their customer service has really disintegrated (the 1st rep who took my call just spouted useless, "from-their-CS-manual" platitudes) -- I will place the site on the bottom of my shopping list.
Amazon is the best online retailer hands-down. If/when you ever need it, their customer service is excellent. I used to shop ebay but found their products to be questionable, whereas most products via amazon are quality and reliable.
Amazon owns a ripoff company called Woot, hundreds of BBB complaints. The policy is to get order, have Amazon charge the credit card, and THEN send you a email informing the customer that there is no warranty and no returns on the defective junk they are going to ship you.
Amazon will tell you, they can not or will not help you. Woot could care less, they have 100's of complaints and are proud of the fact that they do not even look at them, let lone respond.
Amazon will "refund and charge back" if it is a out side vendor, when it involves a company they own their policy is to send a automated email telling you to go away
Great prices and the items are always great and arrive on time or sooner :)
What can I say that you don't already know! Amazon is The only place where you can buy an engagement ring and toothpaste in the same order! It's you one stop shop to really buy anything you need.
Best store i have ever experienced you can find easily and almost everything here at amazon store.
It doesn't matter what you're looking for, Amazon.com probably has it! Choose Amazon.com before you go anywhere else, and you won't regret it. If it's not available new, look for used items. Whatever you're looking for, you truly can find a great deal on Amazon.com!
They keep increasing the price and the shipping keeps getting slower and slower. It used to be 2 day shipping meant you could order Monday and get something Wednesday. Now you order Monday and don't get it until Thursday or Friday depending on the item. On top of that the price has gone up every year. Now their saying that we can't have family accounts anymore? I just don't think that Prime is worth it anymore.
I have ordered many things from this store and had never faced any problem.
I seem to be going against the trend here, but my experience with amazon.com so far has all been good. I've used the site about 8 times and in each instance the products have arrived promptly and have been exactly what I ordered. I have not attempted to return anything so I don't know how well that process works. On a few items (such as pet supplies like treats and toys) the price has been well below what I would pay in local stores, even with the shipping charge, and the quality has been equivalent or better.
I have never ordered from Amazon that it didn't arrive on time. The prices are reasonable and lots of choices.
My Review on free gift card websites:
I've been on a lot of websites that has ways to make extra cash... I've noticed that there's a lot of different ways that you could get a free gift cards PayPal Cash Ect. But one website that I do love is InstaGC. I've made so much money off of them so if I and love and things to do and the website is easier then most. I love it because if I'm on my way to Walmart I can cash out and boom there is my money right there on my phone instantly. I just had to let everybody know because I have been through a lot of different sites/apps. To find the real paying ones. I have read soon many reviews Ect. Just to find the ones that pay the easiest and the fastest. I started doing that about eight months ago right before Christmas time to make a little extra cash for some gift money for family members And my children. Let me tell you I'm addicted now lol. I'll let you know that I really does work you just have to pick and choose which ones are the best ones and ends the instaGC is definitely one of the best.

Amazon is one of my favorite stores! If i have problem its fixed right away
Recently Amazon curbed an order, it was offered only for prime members and I do not want to become a member, I do not order consistently from them, I was disappointed and still am
Answer: I concur with all of the above answers except about the kindle. I have contacted Amazon via phone and they were very helpful.
Answer: Bought a hair dryer for my daughter in Melbourne. Arrived no probs.
Answer: Try Walmart! They deliver food too, and they accept EBT as well. I am switching to Walmart now because I ordered food from Amazon Fresh on 4 different occasions, and never received my groceries. I am disabled and I live alone, so I need delivery service to be reliable and dependable. Clearly, Amazon Fresh is neither reliable nor dependable, which sucks.
Answer: I have never shipped or had things shipped to or from Australia. Sorry
Answer: This problem began when Amazon Market Place started up and when I saw how bad it was with sellers selling at 3 to 4 times the full retail price at other online stores, it was a hint for me to stop supporting Amazon Market Place. If its sold by Amazon, I might buy it but I do my utmost to find a lower price so I don't have to buy it from Amazon. More often than not Bestbuy or Staples has it for the same or lower price. Bought an Asus RT AC 5300 from Bestbuy for 500 Canadian and it doesn't sell for less at Amazon. Returns are no hassle 30 day returns and no shipping just take it to a local retail store and that saves the wrapping and shipping.
Answer: Yes I do on the items I purchase and also through google and sitejabber
Answer: It takes longer if you don't pay monthly for Amazon prime.
Answer: The shipping cost is in the listing if that's what you're asking. If you click on new/used, it will be below the cost. If you have Prime, most things are free shipping.
Answer: You answer on the actual question I believe.
Answer: The above answers are good - I agree that a personal contact on the phone is best. - Go to 'Your Account', then click 'Let Us Help You' -then click Help - Then 'need more help',- then click 'Contact Us' - fill out the 3 steps and choose 'more no norder questions, - then clock on phone - from there it will direct you (how long the wait etc and they call you back)
