Amazon

I have been an Amazon customer for more than 7 years, with purchases of more than USD$8000 yearly (all purchases are recorded either via email or print-out Amazon account summary). The reason I am writing this review is to expose what Amazon   Read full review...

Hellish call centres based in the Philippines where no-one understands English. My conversations with their representative were so tortuous I nearly lost my head. Even when the language barrier was surmounted after repeatedly asking the same question, I discovered the information was wrong. They told me a Customer service number was toll-free when it was chargeable; they also told me the Call Me facility would call me back when, in fact, they refused to make calls outside the US.

Why do companies think that cheap is best in the most important department in the whole company?

I bought an eliptical around May and have yet to receive the actual product by the end of June because Amazon claims to be out of stock. Funny thing is, they're still selling the EXACT product online. Amazon's explanation is that because the product was on sale by Amazon, Amazon has to get the product in stock to give me the sale price. The issue here is that they're no longer keeping the product in stock and instead lets a third party merchant fulfill the order. So why can't they fulfill my order through a third party seller? Well, since the sale price listed by Amazon is $100 lower than the third party merchant's, Amazon says that the product must come from Amazon and not a third party seller. Huh. Couldn't they have told me that a month ago?

I buy all the time from Amazon.com. Items such as food, diapers, toys, hardware, electronics, and more. Their service, website, and customer service are the best there is. Plus, they have a 30-day price match guarantee (for stuff sold by Amazon.com and not a 3rd party seller). Just send them an email within 30 days with your order info and new price and they will issue a refund for the difference.

Amazon is like a candy store to me. I've never had a problem, except I've noticed that if I start ordering online at work, and finish at home, sometimes I get duplicates. So I just order from home now.

In selling books, CDs and DVDs, Amazon.com performs beautifully. I've been shopping there since 1999 (at least). They started out great and they've just gotten better (I do miss the free Post-It notes, though!). Together with Apple, it's on my very short list of implicitly-trusted sites.

I don't currently use the MP3 downloading service; my DLs didn't download, but that is probably my fault. It wasn't a big deal in terms of money, so I haven't addressed it yet. But when I do I'm sure they'll get it working for me.

To sum: I have bought hundreds of items from Amazon.com between 1999 and 2008, and never had anything less than a good, hassle-free experience. I returned something only once, and it was a breeze. They know what they're doing, and they do it excellently.

I've been buying and selling on Amazon for about two years now. I haven't had a problem with them or any of their sellers. I did have a customer who bought the wrong book from me and tried to blame me for her mistake. Amazon contacted me about the issue and I explained my side and she explained her side. They said that if they felt I was in the wrong they would refund her money but that never happened. But what if she did make it sound like I made the mistake? I would've given her a free book? and I would have to eat the shipping cost too.

Have dealt with Amazon several times in the past; delivery was quick, products excellent and no trouble in the customer service department.

Amazon almost always has the best price and I used to be a loyal customer. Recently though, with the introduction of Amazon Prime, the standard and free shipping is horribly slow. Amazon took a full week to move last 2 orders out the door. From now on, I'll shop somewhere else and spend a little more to get faster shipping.

I recently bought a cookware set from Amazon.com.I was horrified with the reviews I've been reading BUT they shipped the order within two days and I had my pots in a week in perfect condition.Plus the free shipping.The only thing i didn't like is the cheap marketing trick " only 2 or 1 left in stock " but after a couple of days they have the same offer again with 2 or 3 left in stock,so don't bite...and after a week they have a better offer..apparently they have a lot in stock.
