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

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.

If they break it we will replace it not questions asked. I love that motto, that gives me the impression that you care and if you do I will definitely do business with you.

I bought a few things from Amazon online and I have never had a bad experience with them. I still have a few purchases from them that are still in use, quality products. I absolutely love their website, there are so much for the eyes to see. It compels you to buy even when you are just browsing.

My friend regularly buys from them and she has never had a complaint other than buying the wrong sizes, that's her fault really. I don't mind when she does though because I end up getting the products.

What I love about Amazon too is that they are an online electronic department store where you can shop for computers, apparel, computers, books, DVD's and more. Not only that you can also make money on Amazon by selling your services, sell your apps, become an affiliate, advertise your products, you can self-publish with them, You can actually make money on Amazon. The different ways I mentioned and more. Isn't that awesome.

Another plus is that there are different ways of making payment for purchases with their payment products: Awards Visa card, store card, corporate credit line, you can also shop with points, they have their credit card marketplace and they also have currency converter. They cater to the needs of everyone.

Amazon provides products and services, services in the form of employment not only for those they employ in their immediate circle but for everyone else who take advantage of the services they offer. Whether you want to self-publish with them, become an affiliate, advertise your products or become and Amazon vendor, and there are more to choose from.

Go ahead check out their website whether to buy something or do something, you'll be glad you do.

Good experience
August 18, 2015

I've found nearly everything I've looked for on this site. It is very straight forward-no hidden shipping/handling at the end like some sites. I do try to stick to the items filled by Amazon as others can take a LONG time to arrive.

It's ok.
August 18, 2015

For the most part, I do like Amazon and shopping on the site. My complaints would be that if you live in apartment or aren't home when the item ordered arrives, they will leave the item in plain view where someone can see it or take it. As of January 2015, the USPS will no longer take your package back to the post office if a delivery is missed. Most items are no longer shipped by UPS. I live in an apartment and have had my packages left in the mail room area. Where anyone can take it. Amazon will only replace a stolen item ONCE.

Their "warehouse deals" aren't the best in my case. I have purchased a few things from their "warehouse deals" and each item was broken. I had to return all of them. Amazon did refund my money.

We've been shopping on Amazon for several years now and love it! Being a Prime member means that our purchases usually arrive within 48 hours and their track record of success is excellent! The choices of products are better than I could ever find in one store.
Cheers to Amazon and thank you for excellent service!

I have ordered so many things from Amazon. They all arrive when stated, or earlier. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered.
When I can't get something locally, I turn to Amazon first, before I order from other sites. They usually have the lowest price, and timely delivery. You can trust Amazon.

Customer Service
August 18, 2015

Amazon.com offers excellent and prompt customer service, and a good selection of products.

The cons are that its shipping costs need to be carefully monitored because those can be extraordinarily high. I also exclude so called Amazon UK, whose customer support staff I have found to be negligent, if not careless and incompetent..

I recently had to return an item and Amazon makes it very easy. I immediately received a phone call and the Representative was pleasant, patient and very professional. The refund was handled quickly. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because a couple of deliveries had problems (wrong quantity sent, broken package) but they took care of it quickly.

Fantastic!
August 16, 2015

I've been a Prime memeber since they started offering it. I orrder anywhere from 50-100 times per year, and have come to rely on them to make my life much easier. Prices are decent, not always the lowest, but delivery is free and fast.

Great place to buy!
August 14, 2015

Amazon is really great place to but whatever you want but I go there to buy books! You want brand new books? You can find them! If you don't care about the physical appearance you can buy used ones. The great feature that I like is that you're able to sell stuff as well.

I have patronized Amazon for at least ten years and have nothing but accolades for them. If I ever had any problems with an order, they addressed right away and always made it a smooth and correct transaction. I will continue to utilize Amazon, for sure.
