The T-Fal ACTIFRYER I purchased from your company never should have been sold to a customer in North America (CANADA). Your electricity is 50hz @ 220v. CANADA is rated at 60hz @ 120v. The T-Fal unit cannot be used in North America and should not have been sold through AMAZON.UK. Additionally, the return authorization accepted by AMAZON's return notice...

Amazon Amazon cancelled my order and left me empty-handed

I spent several days researching and carefully selecting compatible components to build a PC. After placing my order on Amazon, my purchase was immediately cancelled, and I was asked to upload my ID for verification. I complied and received a message stating the verification would take 1–3 days. Since some of the items I wanted were running out of stock...

I had to get a new mobile phone and a new phone number recently. Due to having OTP set up with Amazon I couldn’t access my Amazon account apart from through an already logged in web page. I contacted Customer Services who informed me that I would need to upload a copy of my passport to prove my identity and it would take 1 to 2 days to remove the OTP. 8...

My girlfriend of 18 years, who was essentially my wife, passed away a little over a month ago. While settling her affairs, I contacted Amazon to remove her credit cards and cancel her subscriptions. The experience was extremely frustrating—reps kept transferring me, one even hung up, and no one gave me a clear solution. After wasting three hours, I finally...

Amazon Next day delivery, Paid extra. They don't know when I'll get it

Paid good extra money for next day delivery. Amazon said it was coming on time. Late in the day I called to inquire about order, I was told it was sitting on the line in the distribution center, not moving, and unknown when I would get it. This morning, another day later, still not shipped, no delivery time listed on a next day delivery. I should have checked elsewhere first for my item, Ebay, Walmart, Direct from a seller, maybe even Temu. This is a part for a heating system, starting to get some cold nights here in the northeast.

Recommendation: Go elsewhere first, try Walmart, Ebay, Temu, etc. or order directly from seller

Amazon It just sucks.

I have been an Amazon buyer for six or seven years, I am a Prime member and buy quite often, because I changed the eBay platform to Amazon, and the pandemic taught me to buy everything online, which turned out to be very convenient. Recently, Amazon delivery has become worse and worse, trying to find out something from the support service is useless - this is the worst support service that can be, they do not solve anything, they say routine phrases, i.e. an absolutely useless sigmentn that can be used if did not return the money and then from the fifth time. And today an extraordinary incident happened ... I made three orders on September 5, delivery should be on September 7. I receive a message that one of the items in the order (a box that I ordered as a gift to give for $109 it to her on September 8) will be delivered on September 12, as the support service said, USPS is to blame, to whom the delivery was transferred, but six other items will not be delivered either, although the delivery was supposed to be done by Amazon. The support service simply mumbled and talked some nonsense to this. Many things and all sorts of things have happened, but apparently there are so many clients that one more or one less - no one will notice. It is very convenient - to take money, and deliver not when promised, but when it is convenient for Amazon, and maybe never. Summary: completely unexpectedly, Amazon has quietly turned into the worst delivery service, it is not worth talking about the clowns from the support service - it's just a circus. If this continues, the owner of Amazon, thanks to his employees, will become a beggar. Who would want to order goods that are not delivered. It is clear that the owner himself does not read these reviews, which is a pity...

Recommendation: I do not recommend it

There seem to be two weights and measures for setting up shop with Amazon.com. One for the local (read: American) people and one for the international (read: Chinese) sellers.

Amazon Customer Service ..very Helpful...Vandaag een cadeaubon gekocht, betaald en laten verzenden! Degene die de bon moest ontvangen kreeg het bericht dat de bon al gebruikt is! Gebeld met klantenservice Amazon, veel gekletst, lang moeten wachten, resultaat...binnen 40 tot 70 uur krijgt U van ons een e-mail, NIKS email ik wil dat er opnieuw een cadeaubon wordt verzonden! Om een lang verhaal kort te maken, door de fout bij Amazon, moet ik dus wachten! Ik heb er geen vertrouwen in dat het goed komt!

Amazon Package has been delayed....again

Second time in a row, my package has been delayed. The first one they said it would be deliver by 10:00 PM. At 10:00 PM I got a message saying it would be delivered the next day by 10:00 PM. 10:00 PM the next day I got another message saying it was delayed again. I was able to cancel my order. I also canceled my account because this is becoming quit common. I ordered something else and it was supposed to be delivered today, but of course it got delayed. This time I am unable to cancel my order. The only way I will order from Amazon in the future is if it's the last resort. I've had enough!

Recommendation: Not worth the money. You can find things cheaper elsewhere.

Amazon Amazon not following their own online return policies

I placed an order on 7.1.2023 for a total of $264.98. I used $65.54 in rewards points and paid for the balance using my Amazon Visa card. I returned the air purifier for $104.99. I received an email on 7.21.23 stating that I will only be receiving a refund of $39.45 as Amazon removed my rewards points of $65.54. This is not at all what I wanted to do, as I still had eligible items in that purchase that qualified me to use my rewards points. This is also a complete contradiction of Amazons use my rewards points return policy, where it clearly states:

If the refund isn't equal to the entire order cost, Amazon will refund other payment methods initially charged before refunding rewards points. For more information about our refund policies, go to Refunds.

It also violates the same return policy under REWARDS POINTS & REDEMPTIONS for purchases made on my Amazon visa credit card.

I called Amazon on 7.21.23 expecting a full apology and for them to correct the situation as it was obviously a mistake. Amazon was anything but helpful or accountable. The first manager pretty much told me to go to hell and hung up on me, called again and was hung up on again, called back a few more times only to be told that Amazon can choose to return points or refunds back in any way shape or form they deem necessary. When I read the manager their own online return policy they told me that rewards points are only applied to one product and not an entire purchase. I then read the part where it states that it was in fact on the entire purchase and not a single product. The Amazon manager argued with me again that I was incorrect so I asked for proof of what he was saying and none was provided to me. Ive already filed a formal complaint with the state of Oregon for fraud, Ive also filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau for Amazon not following its own publ!

ic online return policies or being transparent with their clients. Im also filing a complaint with the national credit bureau as my Amazon Visa card policies were clearly violated when Amazon refused to comply with them. Im gonna keep filing complaints anywhere and everywhere to ensure consumers are aware just how shady and fraudulent Amazon can be. I have agreed to speak publicly with the local news and other social media platforms to share my horrific experience! Under no circumstances should a customer be treated this way just because Amazon thinks they can get away with it. Amazon has clear and concise return policies online and I followed it to a T only to be told to bad, we will do what we want to do. I implore you to go back and listen to some of those phone calls, if the way I was treated doesnt disgust you, Ill be shocked!

I have attached my visa credit card return policy concerning rewards points, Ive also attached Amazons own online return policy concerning rewards points, as well as the email I received from Amazon showing they werent honoring any of these return policies. Lastly Ive attached pictures of several of the phones calls I endured, and hours I spent on the phone trying to correct a mistake that Amazon shouldve corrected within minutes. Im sure just like my phone calls tonight, this email will be ignored, or fall on deaf ears, as its painfully clear that Amazon thinks they are above the law, and could care less about their customers.

Recommendation: DO NOT SUPPORT AMAZON

depending on how they receive it the purifier maybe subjected to restocking fees ranging from 20 to 50%. looks like by the math you were charged a 50% restock fee. based off what i found searching the web.

Is Amazon Legit?

Amazon earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Amazon to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 5% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Amazon is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Amazon, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Amazon. The company provides a physical address, 4 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Amazon has received positive review on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

Amazon.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Amazon.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Amazon.com you are considering visiting, which is associated with Amazon, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

Amazon website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

Amazon.com appears to have online shopping features, it's important to know that the platform supports an extensive range of payment methods, making it convenient and easy to complete your transaction. The payment procedure on the website is also relatively simple and straightforward, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for buyers.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Amazon has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 5% of 2067 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • Multiple low-rated websites are found on the same server. There could be such as technical issues or poor website optimization. To determine if the websites are part of a scam, it's important to review them and look for signs of fraudulent activity.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Amazon. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Amazon No communication with customers

I have been a loyal and active Amazon customer for years. After my account was once blocked, I provided all the necessary information, and it was reinstated. Later, without any clear reason, my account was blocked again. I have not used any new addresses, cards, or suspicious details since the reinstatement. Since then, I have received no reply or explanation from Amazon. I kindly request a proper review and restoration of my account.
