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.

Have not received the item and not received money back after 41 days.
Contacted Amazon directly and they told me they returned the money when I was on hold but I have not received after 11 days.
Put a one star review for the item, my review does not show up on for the item.

Shopping at Amazon.com "HAS" been a pleasure, that is until recently. I tried to log-on BUT they recently changed their log-on procedure by using a "moving" CAPCHA which is impossible to get correct. Because you can't complete the CAPCHA, they make you change your password again and again. I will look at WALMART before trying Amazon.com again.

Item was damaged during delivery. Amazon would not reship. Told I had to reorder and promised to refund the difference in pricing. I had the rep send me a "confirmation" of that via email. Spent hours on the phone being transferred from one customer service rep to another. Sent numerous emails. Finally was told, sorry we don't do that and they hung up. I would not have reordered had I known they would renege on the promised pricing.

Fake review promoter
December 14, 2022

Don't trust amazon and their reviews, genuine reviews they won't allow to post, always promots fake items by promoting fake reviews more over customer care and delivery people also very rude, if you raised complaints also they don't care

Prime
December 14, 2022

Amazon is amazing! I love there free return policy.
I think maybe their prime membership is a little too much
No complaints with their service. I buy from Amazon more than once a month.

Refund run around

Been almost 2 weeks and still haven't received my refund yet. Can't believe it's taking that long for my package to reach the distribution center.

Horrible
December 12, 2022

Absolute lack of customer service and my brief dealings with this place showed an absolute lack of customer service and absolute disregard for the customer...in fact, they seem to take delight in running off customers and that's about all that they seem to be able to do well. Too many other good competitors to waste money on this poorly run operation.

Their customer service is unhelpful, dishonest and incompetent.
Their customer service is also difficult to reach, clearly offshore and in no way empowered to be able to help even if they wanted to.

I've been getting monthly subscriptions to save money and time. As a longtime customer I thought this was a good idea. Once in a while I compare prices and change my orders. Yesterday I was going to buy a bag of cat food as I expect to run out just 3 days prior to my next scheduled monthly delivery. I discovered the price was $7 cheaper than my subscription!
I called customer service and they did nothing so I cancelled everything.
As I had been a very regular customer I expected much better treatment than this.
Is this how you guys make up for your "free shipping"?! Really unprofessional

Amazon gave me a courtesy credit of $100 after charging my credit card DAILY, for over 2 weeks on something that was returned. I bought a pair of shoes (that didn't fit) with the credit, returned those. I've called twice in the month since Amazon received them and been told TWICE that the refund was being issued.
NOW they want to say a courtesy credit is nonrefundable?!
Had I known that:
A) I wouldn't have bought the shoes
B) if they said nonrefundable before returning, I would have kept them!
This place is a not doing good business...

Refund
December 9, 2022

When returning a thousand-dollar computer in the month of Christmas they have kept my money, every time calling in they promise to return it within 48 hours. After talking to a supervisor, he only told me another 5 days and hung up on me when I asked to talk to someone else.
