From best to WORST customer service

Amazon used to have the best customer service. After COVID, they have the worst!! I initiated a refund of an electronic item on 8/30/2022. The only option that Amazon offered was to drop it off Amazon Hub. I drove 10 miles to drop it off on 9/2/2022. For next 17 days, the tracking page kept saying "item is on the way back". Amazon automatic service was no use. The AI messenger kept telling me to wait at least 2 weeks before any live agent would attend to this matter. I requested a call back on 9/18/2022. A rep, who sounded like sitting in 2 mile deep well somewhere at the other end of the world, answered. It took 10 minutes to explain the whole situation to her. She finally understood and after multiple holds and 25 minutes call, she assured me that she's refunding the whole $216.99 to my Amazon gift card. She also assured I'd get my refund within 1-2 hours.

I did get an email from Amazon but the total amount was for $150.00 and for an item that I bought in July 2022 for $9.58!!! On top of that, she changed the status of the original item that I had returned. So now it showed in my order history as if it was never returned! Good thing that I had taken a screen shot of the refund status otherwise Amazon would have denied that I ever returned the item.

I went back and requested a call back. Again got a call from someone from another continent. He sounded really helpful and willing to sort it out. Unfortunately he probably was never trained to put the phone on hold properly. So after telling me to work together to sort this out, he hung up on me.

Here goes the cycle again. This time got another person who again profusely apologized but still took 10 minutes to understand the issue. He finally came back to explain that the first rep made a mistake and he's refunding the remaining balance to my credit card.

at this point, I have no patience to call them again. I will wait 7-10 business days for the amount to be posted as the rep told me. If not, I'll dispute the charge with my credit card company.

I wasted almost 2 hours on the phone for a matter that used to be a non-issue with Amazon. I just renewed my Prime membership at $139/year (ouch!!) last month. I am seriously questioning the value of it now. I will NEVER buy any electronic item from Amazon again.

Bad customer service.

Amazon went from the best customer service to the worst. I picked up a package from Amazon Fresh I ordered on Amazon, actually 15, and one was a huge box I later found out belonged to someone else. 1 hour on the phone with people who don’t speak English at Amazon trying to let them know. The item’s value is over $300. Unresolved. Hours later at 11pm at night I get an Amazon rep who calls asking me to verify my identity. Um, you called me and I did not request a call, you verify your identity! 11pm at night, really? When Prime runs out I’m done. Non-stop issues with this company and bad customer service. I spend about $1,000 per month or more. Good riddance. Quit outsourcing to non English speaking countries.

Amazon customer service is the worst!!!

I don't get it.
I ordered a valve for our shower.
It came in and It didn't look right.
I tried to install it but my trim kit didn't work with it,
so I returned it.
I got a refund, great.
Then a while later Amazon sends me a message saying they rec'd an older valve and to return the correct valve or I would be charged for the valve.

Really??? I sent them the exact thing they sent me.
Been fighting them for months. They just keep saying they want me to send back the correct valve.

I've ordered, like most people a ton of stuff from Amazon and this is just unbelievable.

Customer service? I don't think so.

I'm really pissed that I have to pay for some idiot that's decided they got something back other than what was sent to me.

Was it mispacked by the supplier?
Was it returned by someone before me??

Now I get stuck with paying for this?
I mean it's a couple hundred bucks. What if it was really expensive? No way to get someone to listen. You just get stuck with the bill.

NOT HAPPY!!

Arrogance of Amazon

I have no understanding why people engage with the likes of Amazon and Apple. Another example of Amazon's arrogance is to discontinue support for kindle. They clearly don't care about their customers.

I feel I am getting more and issues…

I feel I am getting more and issues with this company. If you leave a review that they don’t like they won’t let you leave reviews.
I spend a lot of my money with this company and also have many devices and prime and Amazon music. You should be allowed to give you honest opinions but does not seem that way. They need to buck there ideas up or I won’t be shopping there in the future

Bans you from reviewing the items you buy

Bans you from reviewing the items you buy. And no proper reason given
( this started when I gave an item a bad review over a year ago. )
If I try to do a review I get a
Message that. says they have seen some unusual reviewing on the account

No warning just band. Looks like they don’t like people giving products bad reviews.

Emailed to email in the message. But no reply.
I’ve emailed at least 15 times + over the last year

Time to find another on line shop. ?

My Fairy Godmother, Amazon Prime

Since discovering the convenience of Amazon Prime, I’ve come here to say, this place is magical! It’s like having a fairy godmother - I think of something I need, I find it on Amazon in under 2 minutes, it’s delivered to my door the NEXT day and I’m happy. If it turns out I’m not happy with my purchase, they take it back, no charge, no problem. I don’t know how the people working at Amazon do it, but thank you! Each and every one of you are amazing!!

They won't let me use Luna/prime video

They won't let me use Luna, they say that I am in ARgentina. I am in California. I can't use U.S. Prime titles, they say that I am in ARgentina. They say that they can see that I am in the U.S. by my delivery addresses. They wouldn't allow delivery to the Argentina addresses I was trying to use years ago. They call me a white xenophobic person for asking them to stop abusing me including from the third world. They hang up before I Can say that they were useless on the data analytics report. I get the same problem everywhere dark haired people that don't speak English are tolerated in any way. The union, Microsoft, the grocery store, Metro PCS, school, work. The other day 3 hispanics tried to scare me away from work saying that I called him a beaner... while they were eating beans.

Q:

Why Amazon will not hold their vendors responsible for fleecing their customers. Won Lane ffleeced a 70 yr. Old woman with breast cancer and Amazon jumped on the band wagon and cheered for the CROOKS. Told their customer eff you won lane says your a liar. No investigation nothing for a loyal customer for many years and has spent thousands of dollars on Amazon. But now they can shove it up their cheating lying a-holes. Anybody from Amazon got and answer to the disloyalty you show to your customers and lick the butt of cheating, lying, grubbing vendors. SHAME SHAME ON YOU BOTH.

A:

And, Paul H., you should be ashamed for your vulgar comments. It is possible to make your complaint without all the ugly language you used in your post.

A:

I paid for something from a seller on amazon and it never came. I didn't ever expect my money back even though I wrote to amazon about it. BUT about two weeks later I got my money back from amazon, all of it. No problem here.

by Beatrice - September 18, 2017

A:

This problem began when Amazon Market Place started up and when I saw how bad it was with sellers selling at 3 to 4 times the full retail price at other online stores, it was a hint for me to stop supporting Amazon Market Place. If its sold by Amazon, I might buy it but I do my utmost to find a lower price so I don't have to buy it from Amazon. More often than not Bestbuy or Staples has it for the same or lower price. Bought an Asus RT AC 5300 from Bestbuy for 500 Canadian and it doesn't sell for less at Amazon. Returns are no hassle 30 day returns and no shipping just take it to a local retail store and that saves the wrapping and shipping.

Are all amazon products US dollars

A:

A:

No, but shipping to mars has been a problem.

by Frank Bell - May 09, 2016

A:

I have not had problems getting shipping from amazon in the u.s., or from amazon germany or amazon uk... the point is that the amazing customer service of amazon leaves little doubt you should have no problem getting your shipping from amazon anywhere in the world. Note: once or maybe twice i got a customer service rep on some issue where they did not handle it fully to my satisfaction, and i spoke to a supervisor. Including those times, after which things were rectified, i can say i have never had a problem with amazon that was not rectified to more than my satisfaction... this is in over hundreds of orders at all price levels. Again, for shipping concerns, never had one. I trust them more than the govt.
