Like 70% of the times I've ordered something it takes forever... Or it doesn't come at all

Amazing, of course!
July 24, 2015

Of course Amazon.com is amazing. I am a medical student and I always order books, etc. through Amazon. They are by far the most reliable site on the Internet. Everything always arrives when and how it's suppose to. Plus, students get Amazon Prime for free! Can't beat that!

Frequent Buyer
July 23, 2015

Over the last few years I have purchased numerous items from Amazon. The "1-click" shopping is convenient and delivery is always swift. Not to mention, the items that I have received have always been of good quality and in good condition. Amazon also makes Kindle purchases smooth and easy. Love it!

I love Amazon Prime. The free 2 day shipping is amazing & their customer service is one of the best (and you can just chat online to talk to them). Their media selection under Amazon Prime isn't the best, but the other aspects of Amazon Prime make it worth it. It's especially convenient when you don't have a car.

Good bookstore
July 22, 2015

Many times shopped on this service. The goods were delivered on time, I'm happy with everything. You can even, and the price is lower, then there will be absolutely fine.

Late Delivery
July 22, 2015

When you order from them you expect next day delivery, but be aware if they ship from over the coast it takes one week. They don't ship overnight for free as it says on their site. A few times the package was dropped in front of the building and not delivered to the apartment. Luckily nobody took it.

One Major Flaw
July 21, 2015

I love Amazon and, since I live in a rural area, use them a lot. 98% of the time they work flawlessly. 1.5% of the time they goof but the returns process works out fine. But that last little bit is when there's a minor gaff which can be fixed easily but that fix is not in their playbook. And there's no way to get a message to a customer service person.

Example is a while ago I bought an item which was battery operated (included!) and fairly large. It was also packaged in one of those terrible blown plastic things but nobody noticed that the included batteries, easily visible in the online photos and indeed through the plastic, had been pilfered. The main product was ok but I knew they would send replacement batteries if I could just let them know. But no way to communicate that. So I swallowed the cost of a couple of batteries. I know, not a big deal but what if it had been some larger problem but just as simple to fix?

So inconvienient!
July 21, 2015

I ordered much-needed diapers and other essential items under the pretense that they would arrive today, as indicated throughout the site, only to come home to a pushed back delivery date. The incompetent and unhelpful sales rep insists that the site would not have given me today as a delivery date, but it did or I wouldn't have used the site-- I would have made the time to go to the store so my son would have diapers! I am frustrated and inconvenienced. I will not be shopping there again, and recommend everyone else do their due diligence on cheaper options, as the "free shipping" advertised here is in fact just baked into their product costs-- you can find better deals on Amazon with true free and fast shipping.

One year ago, I was looking for a tmj product for my grand father, he has bad habit of crunching his teeth, which affected his jaw muscle. I was visited many doctors, but they always told me about exercises and masks (which he refused to use). So, I used the tmj product (http://www.amazon.com/Recommended-TMJ-Relief-Treatment-Supplement/dp/B00NGC6THC) and mixed it in his food. After couple of weeks and 2 bottles of TMJ relief pills, he started feeling good (eventually he is telling everybody, it was gone away automatically).
