“Red-Light-Therapy for-Face and Neck Face Neck Massager for Skin Care, White”

Mahrukh A.
8/25/24

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!

“Return policy scam - don't order from them anymore!”

Véronique S.
10/6/24

Return policy horror! Never buy from them anymore! I have 3 returns that are stuck at processing. I checked every day and the refund dates keep on changing. Now there's a message that asks me to contact customer service for my items. I've contacted them and I was told 4 different answers. All I know is they received the items on September 17th and they say I have to wait until November 17th! 2 months for a refund? Horrible customer service, especially that I order everything from them. Never again for real this time! I have screenshot proof! Here is the message written when I check my 3 refund statutes, I contacted them as the message asks, theirs no point since they can't help you with anything! Message From Amazon: Refund not issued: "Your refund could not be issued as the return is stuck in processing Don't worry! Our Customer Service can help you with your refund". Need I say more?

I never joined Prime because if you don't but still select free shipping, it would only take a day or two longer.
I placed an order 11 days ago and only received 3 of the 12 items I ordered were delivered 8 days after ordering. The other 9 are due for delivery in 2 days or 13 days after I placed my order.
Seems they're in the business of forcing people to pay for Prime or it'll take 2 weeks to receive your items. They're so big now, their only interest is to screw people over.

You Couldn't Ask for a Better Buying Experience

Amazon makes shopping convenient and easy and it saves you money. You find/buy virtually anything on Amazon from car parts to food. I've found that prices are typically lower than any other site or store.
Save items to your wish list if you aren't ready to purchase and go back to it later and when you do purchase, it takes only seconds. Most items can be shipped for free under certain circumstances.
If there's ever a problem and you need to return something Amazon customer service is always there ready to assist.
Whenever I'm looking for something be it, something I use on a regular basis or a hard to find item, Amazon is my first stop. I may look at other sites to compare prices but I always end up back at Amazon.
Amazon is second to none!

Tip for consumers:
I always look to see if there's anything else I may need when I'm shopping which usually results in finding something and free shipping!

Order ending in 3034. Supervisor Elle P has no sympathy at all. No apology for the mistake of the warehouse person given me a wrong item. I ordered a mechanical keyboard and got fabric softener. She is so far away from North America that she doesn't care. She considers her behaviour acceptable to customers as her agent Jasper was exactly the same unapologetic for any mishap. It's just that wrong items get sent all the time and the company doesn't care...

I was really satisfied with Amazon since my first purchase of books in 2012, but my recent experience shows me that something is going on with their service. Some items I ordered were running about a week late. I had to cancel two items because the delivery status stated "items may be lost".

I sent a negative review on a product sold at Amazon as follows: "Expiration date might be an issue to weigh against price
Order date: Dec. 26,2018 Delivery date: Jan. 2,2019 Use by date: Mar. 31,2019 You decide if it is/was such a good value."
This was to protect the health of others seeking relief from high priced test strips and not knowing the expiration date was much sooner than expected. I included dates and photos. Within 24 hours it was rejected. They don't care about the health of others... only focused on their increasing their wealth and corporate share value.

Amazon so far has never disappointed me in any way. They always have anything that I am looking for, and it will be cheaper than anywhere else. And almost every delivery has been early. 5 stars all the way.

Tip for consumers:
Always look at the sellers reviews before buying if it seems to good to be true.. This part would have normally cost just over $100 for the specific vehicle I have, but since I went through Amazon and checked the reviews from previous buyers and their experience with the item I got it for only $13 and that is after tax and everything.

Did not give refund after it says I can get a refund. Late delivery more than once. Watched the Amazon driver refuse to deliver. Said next stop and then he was no where. I'm furious too that another package said delivered but is no where.

What a joke. How can a $1.42 trillion company justify raising shipping cost especially since inflation is rampant. Greedy and they make excuses about shipping costs. Most deliveries are by common people now. How sketchy is that. I've shopped at Walmart and they're just as good.

Tip for consumers:
Free shipping used to $25 and now it’s $35. What a joke from a company who’s net worth is $1.42 trillion with inflation and then claiming to have soaring shipping costs

I have had nothing but good service from Amazon. I live outwith any town in the Highlands and find their delivery is usually on time and undamaged. I think some of the townies who criticise the service should use physical shops and then start realising the deals you can get. And they don't charge extra to deliver up here - unlike many others.

I'm not sure anyone else notices but over the last few months I've noticed Amazon promise to deliver and then sends information later telling you delivery will not meet the original time and day. Starting to feel that they now just flat out mislead people so they order only to let them down once the order is in. Is this a new game they're playing?

Customer Service is totally non-existent. Somebody decided that automated bots were the solution to their customer service calls and they suck. Worst customer service ever. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars at Amazon every year of my life and I'm at the point where I'm not going to use them anymore because it is impossible to get any kind of answer about any kind of problem anytime anywhere. Their chats take forever to connect the individual never understands what you're talking about the help is never useful it's ridiculous I finally got through to a phone call the other day and they hung up on me don't ask me why all I said was my introductory sentence.

Tip for consumers:
It’s helpful to know that Amazon is the greediest company in the world and doesn’t care whatsoever about Customer Service anymore. Don’t waste your money there.

Products used:
I don’t understand any of these questions I’m complaining about a digital book application. In this case. Trying to contact Amazon customer service on any topic whatsoever has become virtually impossible. I have been having nothing but problems with them with everything I buy and I buy dozens of things a month.

Terrible customer service today... BOO Amazon! I purchased a fire stick and remote less than six months ago, you deemed it defective and can only offer a 10% discount on a new remote. It's a small item but the principle of it is huge to me! The customers helped build your empire, treat us right.

This is worst app, it's a foreign company and its doing fraud to people. I had purchased few things from it but every time I got disappointed, my last order was a sport shoes, it was so bad quality, when I requested for return they are not taking any action. I have made 3 attempts, but no response.
Please don't shop for amazon. Try Indian app

All my shopping experience has been great. The products always arrive in one piece. The only drawback is a different delivery date for certain item from a single order as I wish there was a way to get it all at once.

Amazon is manipulating all reviews and posting only favorable 5 star review on products. Every product i reviewed with 5 stars was posted. Every review with 1 star was REJECTED with a note stating it does not meet their guidelines. Can we say SCAM? Someone is manipulating the site in their favor. While unsuspecting buyers are cheated out of what they expected to receive. When i called several times to complain i was hung up on, promised someone will get back to me in 24 hrs and it would be escalated to a higher dept... NOTHING has been done... all false promises to get me to go away.

Tip for consumers:
dont rely on 5 star reviews.. thats all they post. 100% of my 1 star reviews were REJECTED

Although Amazon sell a lot of Things/Products but it's delivery time period is more 10 than days. Amazon also sell products on very high price rather than shopkeeper and other websites. I hate Amazon & will never buy product from this website.

I received a package today from Amazon that was atrocious. Why would a driver leave such a package on my doorstep. You want to know why because he didn't give a damn and calling Amazon to report him is like pulling teeth you have all these international customer service people who can care less of what you are complaining about. I'm going to think long and hard before ordering from them. Had to be a crack head

Has anyone tried to self publish an e-book with Amazon Kindle. If you have then you will likely agree with me. Writing any kind of book takes 100's of hours. Then there's your cover and so on. I found this company to be an absolute nightmare every time I published a book. Your formatting will always be wrong and your book will look terrible even if you use their own software. They will accuse you of copyright infringement and reject your book over and over. Sure I sold a few books, but I don't think it was worth the aggravation. I would advise you to look elsewhere. The last straw for me came when they started rejecting images. Not content but images from an online source that offers freely available content. And by the way, their mobi file format is ancient history.

Tip for consumers:
If you've decided to Publish with Kindle, break out the pain killers first.

I have ordered tons of stuff from Amazon and I always get them. The problem they have is with the food delivery is should be more drivers because waiting a day or two days because the slots are full leave me hungry.

In my recent two-day purchase everything came fast and package well, no complaints! I ordered some Black seed oil.

Between all the China junk clothes with false good reviews and most brand name shoes being defective, Amazon will be losing me indefinitely as a customer. The last pair of Levi's I bought from them already had a hole above the back pocket. I believe they sell knock offs claiming to be name brand.

Tip for consumers:
Pay attention to the bad reviews bc it seems like most people are ok with junk

I've bought expensive sweaters that end up such cheap material they immediately pill up. Many shirts with major sewing mistakes.

When you're paying $13 a month for fast shipping times, and getting your products at the date they tell you, you expect those things to be a reality. At amazon, that's just not the case. I ordered a part for my computer because one of the other ones i had didn't fit, which already started my frustration (though it had nothing to do with amazon, still frustrated me). I placed an order for the part and it was lost in shipping. A different order i placed after came in late but came in before the other package. I am entirely upset that we pay 100+ dollars every year just for this to happen way too often.

Their driver lost my package, but because it was from a third party retailer they're telling me to eat it up & move on. I can't buy from a place that boasts its customer service when in actuality they don't care. The customer should never have to pay for the mistakes of the retailer. Talk about injustice!

Tip for consumers:
Be careful. Don’t buy expensive things from Amazon because you never know if they’ll back you up if there’s ever a problem with it.

I purchased a coat on Amazon.com which was shipped to me in its clear merchandise wrapper. They just slapped an address label on it. I posted in their review section that I was outraged. Due to all the package stealing and porch pirating, why would you advertise my purchase like that? I was very fortunate that I received it. This is their response... (They can't handle the truth!)
