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. While some positive feedback highlights the convenience and product availability, the overarching sentiment reveals a decline in service quality and reliability. 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.

This is my favorite store for buying books, at least once a month I order a new book. Every time it is delivered quickly, even faster than the stated deadline. The books arrive in good condition

Deurluifel
January 5, 2024

Op de website stond een deurluifel met 2 beugels 140 cmx 100 cm.Precies de maat die wij nodig hadden omdat het voor een raam 130 cm wordt geplaatst met links rechts dikke stijlen voor montage van de beugels.Na 3 weken kwam het grote pakket,daarin een deurluifel met 3 beugels voor de maat 140cm x 100 cm voor ons dus totaal niet te gebruiken.Website foto bij het artikel dus bedrog.Naar postkantoor voor retour weer naar China,de sticker van Amazon gaf aan,kregen deze informatie op het postkantoor,dat je zelf het retourneren moet betalen,kostte 82 euro.We zijn weggegaan,het pakket met deurluifel ligt onder bed,gewoon weggegooid geld.Fout van Amazon en wij 170 euro armer.Schandalig.

The Amazon delivery driver drove into my driveway. I went out and retrieved the packages from him. I walked into my kitchen and looked out the window as he backed through my front yard and onto the street. Due to recent rains, the ground was soft and he left ruts in my yard. I immediately notified Amazon and after a week had not heard from them. I called and then they started a claims. I was just notified because I don't have cameras showing them doing the damage that my claim was denied! It doesn't matter I witnessed it. So, due to their driver's lack of attention, I'm having to pay to repair my yard. I will no longer be using Amazon. What happened to a company taking responsibility for their employee's screw ups?

Amazon is the type of company that will offer an array of products from brands, but values money over ethics. They may seem friendly with their interface and show convenience through services. It's all a facade.

However, that's a totally different story when it comes to communication and treatment towards employees.

Reviews on the site are sometimes fake with scammers acting as sellers while authentic opinions are being suppressed. I noticed the number of bots frequenting there as well. Also users/buyers can find their reviews being removed and discover themselves being banned from contributing for "unusual reviewing activity" by Amazon. The moderators really have poor judgement behind their monitors.

Another example is when employees that opperate in warehouses experience awful working conditions, the bosses there give the employees little time for a break.

If you're an employee that have a problem, your boss is not going to show any mercy for your mental anguish.

Pathetically enough, workers resorted in using pee-pee bottles if they need to urinate instead of going to the bathroom.

Workers in that environment usually breakdown mentally and become severely exhausted. The most ludicrous resolve Amazon has to offer was coping spaces in 2021. These are mental health booths known as "AmaZen."

In the Summer of 2023, Amazon decided to lock one of its customers, Brandon Jackson of Baltimore, Maryland, from his home connected with the smart home devices because a delivery driver allegedly heard a derogatory term through his doorbell.

Apparently, no one was home at the time as evident and Amazon finally granted access to the man's residence and his accounts without explanation.

I'm not going to deal with a business that tries to control its customers in an abusive and inhumane manner while trying to enforce their "community guidelines" when they ironically lack morals. I have pity for the workers who are delivery drivers and warehouse employees that have to endure such an unhealthy workplace or job.

I share a better relationship with Ebay and Walmart customer services long before this! Ebay and Walmart are more ethical businesses I would use as a customer. I would not recommend Amazon.

No stars!
December 27, 2023

They just announced they are adding advertising to Prime video. Or for an additional fee per month to go advertising free. Prime was already getting expensive. Video selection of free to Prime members was already dwindling. Poor streaming with too many signal drops from server. Too many shipping issues (lost parcels, delivering to wrong address and incorrect product). Prime is no longer worth it. Amazon is too big and could care less about it's individual customers. They are the Ma Bell of shopping profiteers. I contributed to this madness for too long: that has now ended. Goodbye Amazon!

Terrible service
December 22, 2023

I used to totally rely on Amazon because of great customer service. I even had the prime so that I could get my orders in 2 days. The first thing I did was cut out Prime after my orders continuously came late and when I asked them about it they told me it wasn't that it would be delivered in two days from order it was delivered in two days from the time they ship it! I continue to order from it but I'm going to start looking at ordering from other sites because now I am finding that when orders need revised payments they're not even sending out notices. It's not until my items are very late that I go in and check and find out there is a revision payment needed. And sometimes it will actually say both that it has been shipped and there is a payment revision needed. When I call customer service they seem as confused as I am. But there's never any particular resolution. This company has just become very unreliable. Of the four items I ordered for Christmas two of them will not be here even close to on time although I ordered them almost 15 days before Christmas.

Extremely disappointed in Amazon, (ordering process was fine/speedy) but the joy of online shopping with Amazon ended there! I used to order from Amazon frequently, until this incident. I ordered a decent size ticket item, no problem ordering it (NO indicator online that the item was out of stock or anything) and its been just about a month & I still have yet to receive it. I phoned Amazon customer service 3 times already - this last time, they finally escalated my issue to their escalation team (it's about time) but that is it & get this...I have to wait another 6 days for the escalation team to figure out what went wrong and where my item is. Customer service informed me that I could cancel my initial item and reorder it (but why would I do that? Amazon already charged me for it & get this...if I cancel the original order, it takes them 5 to 7 days to refund me my money). Can you believe that...5 to 7 business days for a refund. Why Amazon, why? You buy something at a brick and mortar store & bring it back, you get your money back right away. I am not paying for the same item twice without having my initial refund, in-hand. Why would I - you can't even get it right the first time around. (@amazon: last 4 digits of order #2617)

I was locked out of my account on 122/20 2023 for no reason. I called customer service and spoke with Noor who was able to unlock my account without too much difficulty after asking a series of questions. No problem then going in and placing an order. Signed out and did nothing else with the account. Tried to log in to the account the next day and again my account was locked out. None of the customer service individuals I spoke with could tell me why my account was locked out. They asked to provide three items I recently purchased which I did from memory because I don't keep the receipts after I receive the items. They were lucky I remembered the items. They then asked me to give them one of the five items I had put on my saved list. I told them I had absolutely no idea. They said that the information provided was not good enough and they would not unlock the account. I spoke to a supervisor who could not look at the account and could do nothing stating I needed to call back into customer service. So, obviously, this was just someone they put on the line to try and placate me and was not a supervisor. He stated he did not have the tools to correct the situation. A supervisor who works in IT and customer service does not have the tools to handle a customer complaint is a laughable situation. If Amazon wants to get back with me and make this right on my account where there have never been any fraud or nefarious issues with my account we can speak if they are willing to resolve this issue. If not then I will never order from Amazon again as I did with Ebay when they tried to force me to put a bank account number on my account. Up to you Amazon to fix this situation or lose a customer for good!

I've had great service when ordering stuff from Amazon and in the past I've had no issue with their Customer Service but that was when I was able to talk to someone I could understand, that is someone that spoke clear English. Now it's like the same Asian guy whom I can barely understand. This last summer they activated a 2FA security measure I didn't use and ever since I've been unable to access my account because I don't have my old phone. You used to be able to fall back on your email to verify and re-access your account. Now you have to answer verbal security Qs and the guy enters As that you have little control over (meaning you don't know what he's entering) into their computer system and the last 4 or 5 times it's failed for me. The last time he said my account was no longer accessible. I've been so frustrated and am just pissed now. I've had the account for years.

Suppose I create a new account and something happens to my phone again? Anything can happen. You never know.Nevertheless, here I am still unable to access my acct.

I filed a complaint against Amazon for their excessive collection of my private personal information and for withholding over $800 in refunds. They are demanding a government-issued photo ID, driver's license, or passport before releasing my refund. I reviewed Amazon's latest Privacy and Information Collection Policy dated August 2023, and I found it to be an intrusive and excessive collection of data. They exchange and share data with third-party groups without any details on restrictions to their use, including financial information, addresses, contacts, internet service provider, IP address, login, email address, password, location of my device or computer, product searches, purchase history, content interaction information, and much more. This invasion of my privacy has gone beyond reason. The type of personal data collected by Amazon is beyond what government agencies like the IRS and Social Security Administration do. Amazon's demand for a photo ID to verify my identity is absurd, considering they justify their collection methods and type of data collection to prevent fraud and for verification purposes by following select internet and social interactions. Amazon has been collecting my personal information since 2010 when I made my first purchase on their platform. They have a full purchase history for this same timeframe. My shipping and billing addresses and the card/bank used in this purchase have been the same for the past three years. Therefore, I find their demand for further verification for returning my money to the same bank payment was made from to be unreasonable. I returned the items to Amazon four weeks ago, and they refunded a portion ($19) of the purchase several days after they refused to refund the $801. They threatened to keep my money if I did not provide them with a photo ID. This is an online retail service, not an in-person point of sale. The refund should go directly back to the bank the initial payment was made from. Amazon has not sent any notifications of changes and modifications to Policies as other companies courteously do, like PayPal, eBay, REI, Walmart, etc., with a list of the changes being made 30 days in advance. Their demands are abusive and intrusive into my personal information.
I made several attempts to accommodate but they remained obstinate threatening to keep my money. Will end all association with them and go back to regular online shopping without the convenience of one-stop shopping, won't be lazy any more;)
