Very poor 🤒
We don't know much about how Amazon handles customer complaints outside ComplaintsBoard, but what we see here, on our website, is quite disappointing. We think there might be reasons for the company's actions (like not knowing about the complaints), and we would be happy to see them among customer-focused businesses that easily solve customer problems. But until that happens, we ask reviewers to be cautious when dealing with Amazon and using their services, and to carefully read the experiences of other customers on ComplaintsBoard, because who is warned is armed, you know! 💪

Amazon deceptful delivery order no.702-7507325-7821010

I was expecting to receive my order in an orderly fashion in a container sealed by manufacturer, instead I received my order in a carboard container sealed with a brown tape. With batteries contained in 2 carboard boxes (should have been packaged in plastic wrap by manufacturer, I charged the batteries on the dual charger that I had purchased on my original order, charging time were visibly different. I have paid for brand new tools that I should have been sealed by the manufacturer. I questioned xping about the matter. They tell me that they shipped serviceable equiment, that I should be satisfied, I am not satisfied I am pi.. Ed of as far as I am concerned, I could have received second hand equipment that were returned for what ever reason. If I have problems with warranty I will never have satisfaction. I have contacted them on many occasions, I am getting the run around, latest message is that they will give me 10$ to settle the matter. I am a long time customer with amazon always satisfied. Their deceptive actions are creative for a breach of trust. I want to receive my order in a container sealed by the manufacturer. Thank you

Amazon I did not order anything.

They charged my MasterCard $29.52 and I didn't buy anything at 9:17 pm. I go to bed by 9 pm every night. This was after I purchased something from Amazon a few days ago. There is no number to contact them directly. Please help me resolve this and refund my money as I see it has happened to many people already. I live paycheck to paycheck and although $29.52 is not much to some, it gas or groceries to me. Thank you for looking into my complaint.

Amazon poll pay unpaid

I'm still waiting for my Amazon voucher after nearly 3 weeks. I've emailed lots which they have ignored. Then they said they were updating to make things better but now I can't get into my account at all! It keeps coming up poll pay has stopped. What can I do if anything I took time to do these surveys then then won't pay you. I don't seem to be the only one looking on trust pilot.

Amazon returns

I chatted with Lean from customer service yesterday. Per our conversation I asked why should we have to go to a UPS service location when the product we received was the incorrect one. I had looked back on my orders from April 2019 and did a back again for filters. The seller sent the wrong size. Not our fault. Lean said he would schedule a 3 time attempt pickup from us next business day. We found out that next business day is Monday which is our doctor and errands day. I called UPS they said Amazon had scheduled a one time pickup for Monday. Therefore Lean lied. We are very upset after being a Prime member and doing the volume of business we do that now since it was scheduled for Monday a day we were not going to be here we have to wait for label from UPS and end up still going to find a UPS location to drop it off. I was also upset that the seller encouraged to resend the product but never changed the size so I had to call and cancel that. I talked with Ginger who was trying to resolve the issues and next I know I am cut off and of course when you call back you have to start from scratch with another person. I am truly disappointed in all of it.

Amazon charge of $124.03 on amazon prime

I received my bank statement today 10/16/19 and there was a DEBIT made in the amount of $124.03 by AMAZON PRIME. I have never used this service, yet somehow my bank account DEBIT card was charged this amount. Please help, as this is a SUBSTANTIAL CHARGE to me of which I
have no knowledge . The unauthorized DEBIT was paid on 9/11/19.
My name is LeAnne, and I'd request that you reimburse my account for $124.03. Thank-You P.S. My last name starts with Rodg

Amazon prime membership

I did NOT sign up for Prime Membership. I was checking the box for shipping and clicked In how many days I would like to receive my Pkg. I am now a member of Prime and since I hardly ever order anything from Amazon, I certainly don't want $14.22 taken out of my bank account each month. Please credit my account with the $14.22 and cancel my membership ASAP. I will be calling my bank as well.
Thank you for trying to take money out of my account each month and leaving no Customer Service number where I can call to cancel it.

I used to really like Amazon because ordering was easy and there were no TRICKS! Now it's not fun to order from Amazon anymore without feeling like I signed up for something that I didn't actually sign up for.

Amazon delivery service

My shipment (Amazon.com order #[protected]) of multiple boxes was delivered to the wrong address. This is the third time this has happened. It's not hard to get the right address, the house number is illuminated on the front of the house. Additionally, many deliveries are left out in the open, when I have a courtyard with pillars that the pkgs can be placed behind.

Amazon amazon prime guaranteed delivery

I have been a long time Amazon Prime member. I moved into an apartment building this summer. I am repeatedly having orders late because the Amazon delivery drivers will not read and use the delivery instructions. If the front office is closed, many of the drivers don't attempt to make the delivery (a few are diligent and deliver to my unit.) The delivery instructions attached to my account clearly state to use the call box and provides the code to use.

I have ordered several things specifically choosing products with guaranteed same day delivery because I need the item as soon as possible. Several of those items have been days late because repeated attempts are after hours or on weekends and the drivers won't use the call box. A few times a repeated attempt has reported that they can't find the address. GPS picks up the address very easily. It isn't a difficult apartment to find.

This time I ordered a food dehydrator (order #[protected]) on Friday, October 11. There were failed attempts Friday night and twice on Saturday. I was at home all three times and could have opened the gate if the call box had been used. Tonight, I received a text stating:

"Hi, my name is William. Sorry but I can't find your place. Can you help me with any tips or specific directions?

Within seconds, before I could respond, I received another text:

"Unfortunately, your order couldn't be delivered."

Prime shipping is the only feature of Amazon Prime I use on a regular basis. I love shopping with Amazon because I can order just about anything I need at any time; however, if the service continues as it has this summer, I will not be renewing my subscription.

Agree completely -- Amazon service is the worst. I'm also in an apartment building that has an intercom for entry after 5 PM weekdays and weekends. Driver won't use it -- instead leave my packages outside (sometimes in the alley or at a small non-public locked door on the main street, in view to anyone walking by but out-of-view to residents. Never have that problem with UPS, FedEx, DHS, or even the USPS.

I've also noticed nearly half my Prime guaranteed delivery orders don't make the guaranteed delivery date. Very frustrating to wait around near the phone and then late in the evening get a "you package is running late" message.

Amazon echo dot

Called in to Amazon as I unkownly bought a stolden echo dot on line from a third party. I figured I would rather give it back to the right full owner then back to the thief selling stolen goods. Amazon would not help me, told me to take it back to the thief and get my money back. I told them that if i did that: that would be contributing to the theft. Amazon contributes to the theft as they would not contact the owner ( I gave them the device number). So it could be return. I guess Jeff Bezos figures he'll get more sales this way.

Amazon 1,000 oxygen absorbers

I placed an order for Mylar bags and 1, 000 oxygen absorbers. The product arrives with fraudulently labeled absorbents. They say they are 1, 000, but they are really 100 cc'c.

I let DC Trade know and they sent out the same 100 cc absorbents. I have waited a month and a half now and the situation has not been fixed. The product is useless to me without the 1, 000 cc oxygen absorbents and other people will be getting ripped off and may not even know what 1, 000 cc should look like, thus, they will ruin the food they store.

The company is not fixing the situation and wants me to take a 10% loss on the refund and a loss for the $29.00 shipping fee I paid for. This is unacceptable and even amazon is not ding anything to fix things.

Amazon service

We are the front unit of 8 units in Jamaica Plain, Ma. Recently, one of your contractors, Sheffield Express, has been defying the very well marked sign with instructions as to where deliveries are to go. FedEx, USPS, UPS all abide by it, but Sheffield routinely does not because the driver is under such pressure. We ask that packages not be left on the front porch because they are likely to be stolen. Today, I was watching the driver deliver and drop two very light packages that she could easily have delivered to our mailroom 25 feet away. If I hadn't been home, they would have sat there for anyone to steal. BUT MY REAL CONCERN was that she was clearly under some serious pressure and I felt bad asking her to do it right. I'm sure this is not an isolated incident. While I understand you're competing with other companies for prompt delivery, I would hope that you are considerate with your employees and check on their welfare regularly.

I never got the $15.00 credit so 2 weeks later i called them & they said it will show up when i purchase something & no it will not show under my account. So im assuming it will magically appear during checkout but no. I never got it they LIED.

Amazon amazon logistics

Amazon Logistics gives lousy service. I live in a building with 108 apartments. There is no package room, and no secure area for packages. There are USPS mailboxes on both sides of the building. Instead of delivering to the apt. doors, the Logistics drivers leave the packages near the mailboxes or in the Lobby. They do not bother to look at which side of the building the packages go to, so I have had to hunt all over for mine. I regularly see packages piled up near the mail boxes. In fact I have seen several where the driver had to walk past the apt. to leave the package elsewhere. We have had problems with packages disappearing. Amazon packages may not be always be big, but they can be expensive.
I have made several complaints and been assured that the packages will be delivered to the door. To no avail. They continue to be left where ever. Makes me reluctant to order from Amazon. I pay for Prime. I expect that my packages will be at my door, not somewhere else in the building where I have to go hunting.
This really needs to be addressed.

Amazon quicken 2017 deluxe - order #113-0222700-3850631

This product was shown giving us the indication that it was a new C.D.
When we received it, we noted that the C.D. case was sealed. We broke the seal and loaded the program. The first screen we got was that the database numbers had been exceeded, thereby indicating that this was a used C.D.
Either send us a BRAND NEW C.D. or refund us our money. We can not use this C.D. and therefore we have wasted our money.
I believe the advertising of the product borders on fraudulent advertising. I hope not.

Amazon charge for prime membership

On September 20th 2019 I was charged $12.99 on my Mastercard for a monthly renewal of Amazon Prime in the US. This is the first time this has happened. Why has it started now? The payment was described as from:
Amzn.com/bill WA

I am already a Prime member of Amazon.co.uk in the UK, and pay an annual fee in May. I see no need to pay for Prime in the US.
Please refund the amount.
