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

I have ordered a few times on Amazon and it went well except for 1 item. Now, after more than 1 week i am still not in contact with someone that can explain why and who deleted my account and find a solution for my issue. I have been forwarded 5 times by different people and offices without any information.
This is not the great customer service you wish you have.

Please come back to me with an answer and proper guidelines instead of inning money without something in return.

Bent corners
December 2, 2024

I ordered a book and it arrived with bent corners becaus it was shipped in a flimsy envelope. It's disappointing when such small detail undermines great experience.

I've been really frustrated with their service. The prices aren't always the best and there have been too many issues with third-party sellers. Returns have become a hassle and the customer support doesn't always help. They definitely slipped in terms of quality and service.

I'm starting to get frustrated with Amazon. I ordered a flower vase and it arrived broken. Returning it was such a hassle. Their quality control has gone downhill.

By pass this fraud
October 28, 2024

Amazon is a fraud. Their reviews are false and misleading. Their customer service agents are from the lowest part of the barrel they can find. They read you a script from a card and do nothing to help.
Tgey delayed a package for 5 days with no justification and nothing letting me know.
Then when I try to get a refund they lie to you and either say it shipped or tgey can't give you a refund because it posted already.
FALSE ADVERTISMENT, FAKE REVIEWS, AND INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE RECIPT FOR DISASTER.
SEE YOU IN COURT AMAZON!

Lied to again
October 7, 2024

Order placed with Amazon on Friday Sept 27. On Sept 28 I received an email from Amazon stating that my order will be delivered on Oct 2nd. Sept 30th I received an email stating that my order was now going to be delivered on October 3rd. Well today is October 7th and still no order. It takes two weeks to ship and receive a 4 item (USA based products)?
I spent two days searching and have found 2 companies that can deliver in just 4 days, & one company as all four products and for less. So Bye Bye Amazon

Paid good extra money for next day delivery. Amazon said it was coming on time. Late in the day I called to inquire about order, I was told it was sitting on the line in the distribution center, not moving, and unknown when I would get it. This morning, another day later, still not shipped, no delivery time listed on a next day delivery. I should have checked elsewhere first for my item, Ebay, Walmart, Direct from a seller, maybe even Temu. This is a part for a heating system, starting to get some cold nights here in the northeast.

Amazon will never deliver your package on time because they do not care about there customers. They have so many people hooked on them to care what people think. Customer service is a joke to them. The only way they will listen to anyone is for everyone to stop buying which WILL NEVER HAPPEN. SO I CIVE UP.
GOOD LUCK

Great mostly.
October 4, 2024

We spend a fortune at Amazon. They have been pretty great as far as ordering stuff. One MONTH and one week, so 5 WEEKS AGO, My husband got locked out of his Amazon account. He has called every single department, every single day to get them to fix this. I've never seen so many ignorant people working for such a great company, in my life. Now he has all Perscriptions with Amazon pharmacy, he is our of all Perscriptions and after 5 weeks of calling every department, fraud, corporate, HR, still nothing. They don't care and won't fix it. Anyone have any ideas what we should do or if has happened to others?

Amazon use to be one of the best places to go to for honest reviews of products. Now it has been flooded with 5 star fake reviews to the point that you can buy a 41/2 or 5 star product that is extremely poor- and absolute rip off. I have placed several honest reviews, and they never publish them yet tell me in email they have!

Health hazard
September 23, 2024

Heaven help us but Amazon IS a health hazard, I say this because on more than one occasion, has sent me skin care and cosmetics that have Obviously shown that they have been used, this hurts the seller and their business, Amazon has a way of tainting a great product due to their inability to separate used goods from the new. I received a great name blush today that was so obviously used. I can't even fathom why Amazon does this and it is done so often that it is not a mistake. I hope you can see the actual wear on the side of the blush itself and how dirty the compact is……and sold to me as new

It just sucks.
September 7, 2024

I have been an Amazon buyer for six or seven years, I am a Prime member and buy quite often, because I changed the eBay platform to Amazon, and the pandemic taught me to buy everything online, which turned out to be very convenient. Recently, Amazon delivery has become worse and worse, trying to find out something from the support service is useless - this is the worst support service that can be, they do not solve anything, they say routine phrases, i.e. An absolutely useless sigmentn that can be used if did not return the money and then from the fifth time. And today an extraordinary incident happened... I made three orders on September 5, delivery should be on September 7. I receive a message that one of the items in the order (a box that I ordered as a gift to give for $109 it to her on September 8) will be delivered on September 12, as the support service said, USPS is to blame, to whom the delivery was transferred, but six other items will not be delivered either, although the delivery was supposed to be done by Amazon. The support service simply mumbled and talked some nonsense to this. Many things and all sorts of things have happened, but apparently there are so many clients that one more or one less - no one will notice. It is very convenient - to take money, and deliver not when promised, but when it is convenient for Amazon, and maybe never. Summary: completely unexpectedly, Amazon has quietly turned into the worst delivery service, it is not worth talking about the clowns from the support service - it's just a circus. If this continues, the owner of Amazon, thanks to his employees, will become a beggar. Who would want to order goods that are not delivered. It is clear that the owner himself does not read these reviews, which is a pity...
P.S. After the stress of yesterday, Amazon delivered food for my pet, and today USPS brought a box for jeverly. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary to spend half a day finding out and proving something in order to get what you paid for within the time specified by the company!? Where is the world heading...

Crooks

I purchased an item from Amazon and returned it on Aug 7th. When I called to check on my refund they ask me to send my ID. I was very uncomfortable with doing this and was told if I didn't I could not get my $159 dollars back. The representative was extremely rude and so was her supervisor. I feel this is unfair treatment and an act of theft for a company not to refund a person when the item was sent back. I need assistance with this matter, to stop this fraudulent behavior.

The 7-IN-1 Skin Care Massager is a must-have for anyone serious about skincare. With 7 LED light modes and 3 massage modes, it offers everything from deep cleansing to enhanced product absorption and soothing heat therapy. The ergonomic dolphin-shaped design fits perfectly on the face and neck, making it easy and comfortable to use. After just a few weeks, my skin feels cleaner, firmer, and more radiant. It's compact enough for travel and a fantastic addition to any skincare routine. Highly recommended!
