How responsive is Amazon's customer service?

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 butterfly suncatcher

The item shows that it was delivered but it was not. I'd assumed that my purchases would be insured but that does not seem to be the case. We have purchased a great deal from Amazon in the past two years and being ripped off is not something I take lightly. Item was purchased on May 11, 2017.

Your package was left near the front door or porch.

Amazon everything was horrible!

I received a defective item which seller refused to replace. I also tried to get a refund but seller said that it wasn't his responsibility. He also said that if I wasn't satisfied with my order I should have contacted the shipping company.
That was pretty obvious that he wasn't planning to give my money back or provide any help.
Then I reported him to Amazon, but they literally didn't care and said that there was nothing they could do. They said that I had to resolve the matter by discussing it with the seller I bought from.
Never again!

Amazon amazon prime

We sell items through amazon prime. We ship our items to a amazon warehouse. Amazon sells and ships the item to the customer. We were recently returned an item from amazon that the customer somehow emerged in water (Item is not waterproof) amazon returned the item dripping wet to us and amazon will do nothing to help us to get reimbursement leaving us with a useless waterlogged product. (Thank you steven from amazon customer support)

Amazon customer service and returns policy!

Pathetic Service!

I paid to have a shower screen delivered the following day. I ordered the item via Amazon. The item never arrived. I was paying the plumber and the other tradesmen £400 per day to install me a bathroom, and this is the reason that I wanted this delivering the following day. It never arrived, and still has not arrived. I contacted the company to request that the item is not sent out, and they told me that the item had already been collected by the courier. It is now Sunday, and I have just received the following message from the company.

"Unfortunately, we do not have a collection service for unwanted items.

This will need to be returned back to us of your own accord I'm afraid, with a courier of your choice.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call us on [protected]

Kind Regards

I have been hearing very bad things about this company, and there is a company called IBATH which has no connection to this company, and when I contacted them thinking this was the company I had ordered the item from, they told me that they had nothing to do with IBATHUK, and suggested that I have a look at the complaints that are on the internet about this company, and when I see what people have been writing they will never order from them again. I have done this, and considering the company do not even have a returns service, I can now see why they are writing these reports.

Amazon I didn't receive help from amazon

Purchased a book and received the wrong one. After contacting the seller I was given a return address and was promised a replacement. Unfortunately I had to pay for return shipping because seller refused to pay for that.
Anyway I shipped the book back (to China) and few weeks later seller contacted me and told that he has received the package and was about to send a replacement. That was the last thing I heard from him, because he suddenly stopped replying. I then contacted Amazon and asked for assistance. Later I got a message from them where it was said that they had tried to contact the seller but failed. That was the only thing written in the message. Amazon pretty much didn't care and wasn't interested in helping me. I will not shop there again.

Amazon audible charge

I was charged a monthly fee for Audible in early February, 2017, and I never subscribed for this. My credit card was charged without my permission. Furthermore, my account information shows that I am not subscribed to the service and I don't recall making any orders for Audible.

My account is registered under my full name: Mario Latreille.

I am requesting a refund for this charge!

Amazon was scammed

I used to buy from eBay in the past but there were too many scammers, so I decided to try Amazon. Up until now I was pretty satisfied with Amazon, didn't had any issues.
But unfortunately thins did not go so well with my last order.
Order didn't arrive and when I tried to contact the seller he didn't reply.
I tried to get some help from Amazon support, but they also ignored me!
I have no idea what is going on, but my item is still missing and they still don't reply.
I guess Amazon is the same as eBay. I'm done with their site, will not use it again!

Amazon shipping fee

I bought a book from Amazon and was supposed to get a free shipping. I paid for my book but did not get any confirmations.
One week later I decided to contact the seller to ask what was going on and I was shocked when he said that I did not pay for shipping. He said that shipping was not free and that he will not ship my item until I pay for shipping.
I refused and asked for a refund but he did not reply.
I am 100% sure there was said free shipping! I am very disappointed with Amazon, I used to buy a lot from them but I will not do that again. They scammed me once and they will do that again! Avoid!

Amazon half of my order

After I received my tax return I spent 1, 400 dollars on amazon. They took the 1, 400 out of my card then immediately froze my account until I had to verify who I was. After all that they said I didn't pay for the 7 things left in my order. They stole almost 700 dollars. I am a poor person and cant afford to have that money stolen. I called 4 times by the third time I asked for a supervisor and they said he was busy. I left my number for the supervisor to call back and surprise no call so I called the 4th time and still got no where. I will never order from them again. They lost a lot of money cause not only did they loose my money but Ive gotten 5 friends to not order from them cause they are thieves

Amazon kindle customer service and device

I am writing this review of the Fire Tablet with Alexa 7” display 8 GB. On March 16th 2016 I bought a new Kindle for $53 I am a student and on a limited budget but I used my Kindle for school. On August 2016 the Kindle died, the battery just overheated it was warm to the touch, so I called Amazon and they said they would send me a new one. A few days later the 2nd kindle appeared. On November 29th this kindle overheated and I called amazon again “well…. The warranty has expired (it only lasts for three months) but you can buy another one for $10” and send us your old one. I use my Kindle a lot so I bought a new one for $10. Then on March 14 2016 the 3rd kindle overheated. I called amazon again and they said, sorry but we can’t do anything about it, I asked them what I was supposed to do with a dead kindle and they said well you can sell it back for 5 dollars. When I asked to speak to their supervisor they put me on hold for a while then the supervisor hung up on me. Now, almost exactly a year later I have gone through three kindles each one had the same malfunction, they all overheated after about 3 months and now it’s my fault I am out $50 because Amazon’s 2015 kindle has a production flaw and the batteries overheat.

Amazon I was very disappointed with amazon

I never had any issued with Amazon and I was their long time customer and bought many things from them. That was until someone hacked my account and made several purchases!
When I found out about that I contacted Amazon right away and I was expecting them to help me, but they only said that they'll check what was going on. I doubt they ever did something, these people never bothered to contact me back. I had to cancel my card just to be sure that no one will steal my money.
Amazon is a well known company and as I said I was their loyal customer. I was very disappointed when they with their attitude showed me that they did not care and were not interested in helping me. I will not buy from them again!

Amazon sony cfds50 cd/tape/radio boombox

Purchased Sony Boombox from Amazon.ca August 1, 2016 and the unit broke down February 2017. Sony will not repair or replace the unit as the warranty is for 90 days. Amazon will not allow returns as it is past the date for return.

Now I am stuck with a defective unit that is not worth the money to get repaired as the unit cost only $80.00

I am surprised that Sony has stooped so low as to sell this kind of cheap equipment.

Amazon refund for ebooks I accidentally bought by "one click" mechanism

Spent 45 min with the company on phone last Friday, being transferred 3 times. Said I would get refund for these ebooks, but has not appeared on Amazon card. Emailed and whomever answered it says "I've checked the previous correspondence but I'm unable to get the information for which books you would like to receive the refund."

I am not spending another 45 min on phone. I want the refund, then delete Amazon account, and all dealings with Amazon forever.

What a terrible company!@!

Amazon warehouse deals, inc

On jan 21, I placed an order with this company. Now, for the fourth time, I get an email from them - - on the day delivery was due, informing me that the item has not yet shipped, and that my delivery date is some 2 or 3 weeks in the future; and requesting me approve the delay.

This is simply bad faith business. I understand this outfit is part of amazon. I am done ordering through you. I have searched and searched trying to contact someone for help; finally finding this site.

My time is valuable. You have wasted all of it you will waste.

I will go make my purchase from a reputable business.

Good man! Amazon are bullying scammers who let their power go to their head (a universal human nature pitfall, so more fool the idiot who thinks they're going to be immune from that, including organisations). Look at their pathetic 'deals' on Warehouse Deals, in the first place! A few% off (less than 10%) for NO WARRANTY WITH THE MANUFACTURER (no manufacturer I know, supports second-user warranty, which is what Amazon Warehouse usually is or the box wouldn't be open). The price is a joke for what you get and what you lose-out on versus buying new.
Amazon's warranty is what? Thirty days or something equally-lame. Devices should last up to and over 6 YEARS or more, if made well. The ONLY way we as consumers can save ourselves time and grief is by HARSHLY-rejecting abusive manufacturers - and their enablers in Retail. Like Amazon. "Sold by xxxxx and Fulfilled By Amazon" = Amazon off the hook legally when it comes to faulty goods (here in the UK, anyway). Why do you think they keep stuff in their warehouse "on behalf of" other manufacturers and retailers, instead of bulk-buy and sell it directly? Because it is a RISKY product, and they maybe already sold it directly, then had too many returns, so stopped, and put the risk onto others. The thing about rampant capitalism is it is rampant game theory. Game theory ultimately ends up in: "steal from the other man by force to reduce the risk he will do the same to you". Nice world we get from allowing that to run rampant, and Amazon are helping bring that world into reality. They think they're clever, too...

Amazon company cannot be reached by email or phone

I was called 8/16 by this company for a position to become a Amazon Affiliate Consultant. Mr Howard Jackson the recruiter talked and explained the program and was very convincing that I could make good money at this. I felt that knowing it had the Amazon name it was going to be something good. I purchased the platinum package for $5700.00. They were good at first in replying to e-mails then it stopped. I e-mailed them on 2/20/17 to check on my account for tax purposes and that's when all e-mails were returned back to me. I then called all the numbers and they all have busy signals.
The address I sent check to: The Affiliate Consultants 12345 Lake City Way NE#2097 Seattle WA 98125. The phone #'s [protected] Fx: [protected], [protected], Howard Jackson [protected]. I am a senior citizen on a very strict income and this money is a burden in my life. I am praying for a refund to help me live my life in peace. Please help! I have e-mails from them but do not know how to attach.

But time passed and there was no sign of my book, then I decided to contact the seller and asked him why was it taking so long but he didn't reply. That moment I felt that there was something strange going on so I contacted Amazon support and asked for help. They promised to help but nothing was done, they also stopped replying.
