“Amazing Shopping Experience at Amazon”

Vicky S.
8/30/21

It is always a pleasure shopping on the Amazon India website. I find the process very very simple and the delivery is so prompt. They let you know when the items will arrive and till now - every time, it has arrived within the time frame mentioned by them.

“Amazon India - Horrible experience with delivery”

Narsinha B.
10/19/24

I have been a customer of Amazon India for quite a few years now. I live abroad and usually place orders before my arrival. My delivery destination is Panaji-Goa. In the past, I have had a couple of problems with deliveries which were reported to your customer service and refund issued but they were minor compared to other one I just had to go through. I have had a very nasty experience with your service for the orders I placed in August and September of 2024. Following are the dates with order amounts: 10/08/24 – Rs 3,793.35 26/08/24 – Rs 5,645.00 02/09/24 – Rs 19,382.00 06/09/24 – Rs 3,149.25 Just so you know, this totals to Rs 31,969.60 of which I received a refund of Rs 18,037. This amounts to a staggering 56%. Only one order of Rs 2,450 was a result of Seller not being able to source the product I ordered while the rest of them were because the final delivery could not be made. This puts down the Refund % due to Amazon Initiated Returns at 53%. All of the refunds are shown as RETURNS by Customer while in reality it is because your staff was not able to make the final delivery. I was in constant touch with your customer service and each time they told me that the item has been damaged during shipment. I don't think this is true because your excellent tracking system shows the item was received at final distribution location in PANAJI-GOA. I cant believe that someone in customer service hasn't noticed that 53% of my orders were as a result of Returns Initiated by Amazon. With so many of my orders being returned by your delivery staff, I feel that I was being selectively targeted. I don't know anyone who works at Amazon India, let alone at the distribution center in Panaji-Goa so I cannot understand why I was being targeted. Regards

Placed an order no 171-xxxxx-xxx326 on 6th Oct, 24 for groceries under "Fresh" category with delivery scheduled between 2 P.M. to 6 P.M. on 7th Oct, 24. As usual, the delivery did not materialize in the stipulated time. Repeated follow ups on 7th Oct, 24 with the customer service agents at Amazon resulted in different time line and delivery status. On 8th Oct, 24 the Amazon web page indicated a revised delivery date, i.e 11th Oct, 24. Subsequent requests over phone and vide chat box to the customer service agents for immediate cancellation and full refund of the order was not complied as the agents insisted that I need to wait until 11th Oct before the order can be CANCELLED and refund initiated to my account within 5 business days. The customer service agents do not pick up the phone and communicate internally with the delivery team. This silo approach mentality in the Amazon team is only causing further agony to its customers.
Why would Amazon need to unilaterally extend delivery time line without intimation to the Customer and keep the Customer's payment in its account for additional xx days?
The track record of Amazon for prompt delivery of items ordered under the "fresh" category is pathetic.
It is high time that as Customers, we shift our orders to more reliable platforms such as Flipkart, Big Basket and Jio Mart who have a better delivery performance and are customer focused.

PATHETIC CUSTOMER SUPPORT
September 10th, 2024
• Previous review

Placed Order # **************504 on 8th Sep, 2024 for groceries under "Fresh" category and delivery was scheduled between 2 P.M. - 6 P.M. on 09th Sep, 2024. As of this moment, i.e 8:30 P.M. on 09th Sep, 2024, there is no true feedback from the customer support at Amazon on the delivery status of the order in spite of 7 phone conversations during the last 24 hours. Each individual from the customer support at Amazon has a different story for this delayed delivery and each time the revised delivery schedule has not been adhered by Amazon. The web page of Amazon now indicates the revised delivery date for the ordered groceries as 13th Sep, 2024. The only options available to me as a customer is to either CANCEL the order and wait for a refund which would take another 3 - 4 working days OR wait until 13th Sep, 2024 for the delivery of the ordered groceries.
Delivery performance of the desi brands, i.e Flipkart / Big Basket / Jiomart for groceries is far better as compared to Amazon. The customer support at Amazon is unable to provide a valid reason for the delays and can just communicate like BOTS without offering a resolution for the delayed delivery.

Amazons delivery service has become pathetic. The delivery agents make half hearted attempts to contact late at night and say delivery attempted,could not reach you and the delivery gets delayed until it is cancelled. And customer service is not much help as they are apparently not in direct contact with delivery agents. Pathetic. I wish I had placed the order on flipkart. Could have saved myself the wait

I have ordered several items from Amazon India. I recently had one item show delivered, but it never showed. I also had one order that arrived incomplete. I wrote to Amazon India, but they never responded. When I wrote a bad review, they told me they would not post my review because it talked about the product, the seller, or delivery issue. Crazy

This website is cheating both sellers and the consumers, what they do is replace the real products with fake one or cheap ones specially with similar names to avoid being sued, its just a matter of time before they piss off some rich guys and get thrown out of india for running a con products site.

I am a very regular customer of Amazon. I am ordering almost anything and everything from them since last two years including groceries. So far not much complaints. Their return policy is very good compared to all other sites I have used. I had very bad experience with Flipkart. Lost Rs 2500. Ridiculous customer service. So after that stopped using them. Try Amazon. I ordered mobiles, headphones, tablet etc from them. All

Amazon has started using deception and seems like now they are more focused on helping the seller sell the items then their customers. Being a customer of Amazon for last 5 years, I am really sorry to see this from Amazon. One of the reasons people buy expensive stuff from Amazon without looking in person or talking to anyone is the trust people have on Amazon and the fact that Amazon would return the product if there is wrong from seller side. But now seems like they don't care. So, I would suggest people to buy their stuff directly from a store. At least you will know exactly what you are buying and clear any questions you might have. Seeing this I am also thinking about removing my services from AWS and suggest the same to my clients and vendors.

Seems like Amazon is not the same.

Wish i could give them minus 5 stars
I actually dislike the dishonesty of Amazon, i was charged twice for the product, cash was collected as well as the same amount was charged in my debit card. After several back and forth with their customer service first i was assured the money will be refunded then after 10 days i was told they never got the money from the bank despite me showing them proof of the charge from the bank. They are ruining the reputation of a good outstanding American company with their dishonesty and poor customer service in India. I will post this on all social media. I have ordered a lot from them and this is how they treat their customers. Shame in them. I can also share the order number. The product delivered was cheap quality as well

I booked a tab to gift my daughter. We got it, later there was a problem with display, in < 3 months So I took the tab to the authorised service station. There they said, there is no warranty for this. When asked the reason, they simply said, someone already opened it. I. Surprised. When we contacted Amazon, there is no proper response. So be careful while purchasing electronic gadgets. You may not get covered warranty issues.

I have had several experiences where I have prepaid for a product that was not delivered. It is very convenient when things do arrive although iti is still a gamble as to whether they will arrive or not! In addition none of the delivery based reviews were published. Any reviews of amazon, on amazon are jabbed.

Returns are apparently not made unless you report the lack of deliver y within 10 days of the lack of delivery. Crude.

You would be sued fo rthis in the US! Time to shed some of those stocks.

I ordered a product on Amazon recently and opted COD... without any call they have cancelled my order sending across a message saying customer has refused the order. When I call the customer service they say it is a general error that occurs when a customer has opted for COD and he requests me to place a new order with prepaid payment. If they have given an option COD how can they negate it... what's the fun in having that option at all...

This is regarding Order Id**************164. I have ordered a Saregama Caravan for my parents last month. It turned out to be defective and returned the product immediately. I am following up with them since last month, every time, they ask for more time and it is one month now not received any refund. Shocked to experience such pathetic service from them. It has become a big fraud. Please be careful before placing any order on Amazon!

I worked in a mnc bank for 10 years in customer service. I know the difference between great and out of this world service. I will say Amazon is on it's way to make the most customer centric company. I am surprised by the speed of response, the willingness to help and the empowerment the officers have; to solve and compensate the customer.

I think they are going were no company has been before. I can see that they are moving up the chain of services and goods. 5 years back I would have never thought I could see this level of service from any company, let alone Amazon. It is a sea change.

One more thing I like about Amazon is it does not force it's user to use apps. I quit buying from flipkart due to this point.

One area of improvement is the courier service provider (I live in a remote area so it may be slightly effecting me, I don't think in central areas this is a issue)

After one episode they repeated the same again with the next order of MI laptop.

And when I cancelled the extended warranty because the laptop order was cancelled by amazon around their own whims of exchange policy. ( even after the product satisfies all criterion for exchange they refuse to pick it up), guess what the xustomer care tells I will get a refund after they receive the product. There was a person to pick up the same at my door also!##$$.

A code for extended Warranty received by email is to be rrturned in person!)

Decaying Customer service
March 5th, 2021
• Previous review

I ordered a HP pavilion with exchange offer on 02/03/21 and expected delivery on 04/03/21.
The delivery executive was not sure of the discoloration between the screen and keypad on the laptop being exchanged and hence asked us to register for redelivery on customer care.

I called customer care and was told that the redelivery will be completed in 24_48 hrs. But i saw that the status on my app displayed that a refund isbeing issued.

I again called customer.er care and was again assured a redelivery, both times no mail was sent to me to confirm.
Yesterday I kept waiting at home to receive the laptoo and today morning i received a mail requesting a review for the product not yet delivered.

I again had to call customer care and finally one executive who pathetically displayed his empathy ( but was definitely not helpful just like all his previous colleagues) let it out that the order is cancelled and refund will be issued to original Payment mode in 3_4 working days.

I needed the laptop for working and I am not just disappointed but annoyed at angry at tgis apathy and pathetic customer care and lack of feedback.

I liked to give zero but there was no such option. I am saying this after associated with them for past few years as a seller and Byuer. Both the experience is bitter.

Once you're cheated by Amazon you should then and there leave them as it will continue and there will be no solution. I can tell their game. You call for problem. They will tell you to send mail or will send you a link to again explain the matter. You will do and wait and wait. If you call them the answer is we are looking into complaint has taken. Have you ever wondered why they have no complaints no and return call policy once complaint got resolved. Why they make you run like a Govt office from this desk to that desk. Because they know after a certain time you will be tired and loose.
They train their stuffs following same protocol.

I do not like this store. If you want to shop on amazon then you need to have experience or you will end up buying the wrong things. On the other hand the store has all the things that you could possible need and for affordable prices. The dleivey is painfully slow if you reside in far away regions but that is just what online shopping means.

I have never faced any issues with buying on Amazon. Though the costs may vary from market by a small margin. I get most of my electronic on Amazon and even books.

But for being seller you have to already be a well established business with flourishing sales volume in order to make Amazon a sales platform or media. Else its not for businesses that dont own a website of its own.
