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.

Love love love Amazon.com. It is an easy site to shop and has virtually everything. Quick shipping and often arrives well before the expected date of arrival.

You can download an MP3 vesion of the album rather than buying a CD which means you can get it right away and it takes up less space in the house.

As a Amazon customer of over 500 items on prime, I would have to say I love it. You see a price, if you like that price, it gets shipped to your door with no hidden fees, and guaranteed in two days. I am speaking of PRIME items only folks. Whit shipping prices skyrocketing I dont see a better deal out there.
I am a prime loyal customer. I pay a little more but always get my products.

On the other hand private shippers are another story, but Amazon doesnt have control over those shippers.

Hate them
May 6, 2015

I sell with them and I refuse to buy from them because I know that they dont look after their customers. I've conacted them so many times about rogue sellers and they do nothing. Buyer be ware.
Also do you realise how much of your payment goes to Amazon and not to the seller? Its can often amount buying an item for 90p and Amazon takes 40p of that.
Amazon NEVER checks that the seller has product insurance and refuses to give the sellers address to the customer, so if you get sold a dangerous item on Amazon, you will find it almost impossible to take the original seller to court as far as I can see.

I've heard it's a nightmare to work for Amazon, in their fulfillment warehouses...

Shipping can be slow if it's outsourced to Amazon marketplace. Free shipping can be tricky if a minimum is attached to the seller. Use due diligence and check other sellers available for the best option

I'm going to find what I want at Amazon, and at the most affordable price. They are what every business ought to be - efficient, totally dependable and lead in integrity. I trust them to always tell me the truth.

My favorite website is Amazon. They have great products and if they are not as advertised, you can send it back. Their return system is super - only had to use it once, no problem what so ever. Ask questions and you do get an answer. Customer service is super. Great website to read reviews to research before buying product anywhere, however if good reviews I usually buy from them. Really, really fast shipping!

I like Amazon, almost buy everything on it, shipping is fast. Amazon was the best price before but now have to compare the price, sometime is more expensive than other online store.

Nice!
May 5, 2015

I bought from them expecting low prices and because i was rushed for time to purchase gifts during the winter holidays, i got all my items on time kind of, they arrived at different times due to that they have different vendors selling the products, so its not all coming from the same place at the same time. Also the pricese seemed reasonable until of course it added up with shipping, and i saw the same products at my local target two days later at a cheaper price, what a let down.

Good!
May 5, 2015

It is very easy to use (perhaps to easy) with your shopping being divided into several departments.
As for books. It probably has about 99% of all books available and it is interactive so you can leave a review of any books you buy.
