  • Amazon not so Prime anymore

    I have been a long time member of Amazon Prime. I used to place orders and always received them within 1-2 days. Once the pandemic hit, it apparently gave businesses an excuse to slack off on customer service. The 2 day guarentee changed to a 2 day approximate, and we would get items that ran a day or 2 late once a month or so. Back in August 2023 I ordered 2 laptops, not a cheap order it was about $2700. They were both ordered from the same amazon store and delivery to the same address. On day 2 one laptop arrived, but not the other. Although it was odd since they should have shipped together I let it slide since my account said it was delayed in transit to be delivered the next day. I contacted them on chat at the end of day 3 when it said delayed in transit again. They promptly lied to me and said it was in the system and would be dropped off on day 4. At the end of day 4 I was told after a very lengthy chat with 2 CS reps that "they didn't know where the item was but not to worry this happens sometimes" I told them I was going to be out of town on business over the weekend but the amazon store still had the item in stock saying it could be there the next day. They said they couldn't do that because the other one had shipped even though they didn't know where it was. They said there was nothing they could do just give it another day. So day 5 comes no delivery CS reps 5 and 6 both lie to me but I finally get CSR 6 a "supervisor" to "put a stop on the order and refund my money withing 48 hours" I ordered the same item from walmart+ and received it in less than 2 days. The refund that was supposed to be returned in 48 hrs took CS rep #7 on day 15 to finally process the refund. I saved all of the chat logs and highlighted where CS reps would tell me that the last rep lied to me on 5 different occassions. Amazon is not so prime anymore. Walmart+ rocked my delivery in about 36 hours though.

  • Amazon doesn't honor their promises

    The card that gets charged for my amazon prime membership expired and I had unfortunately not updated it to the new card in time, so instead of amazon contacting me by phone or email, they charged a random card that I had used to purchase something a long time ago. That card is linked to a checking account I don't really use anymore so I was overdrafted and got a $30 overdraft fee from the bank. The bank wouldn't refund since the prime charge was legitimate so I went on to amazon's online customer service chat to see if they could help. One woman passed me to a supervisor named Fatima. Fatima apologized and said that she would refund August's charge to the card that shouldn't have been used and to make up for the $30 bank fee, she would refund me for June and July's charges as well. Obviously I was at that point a happy customer, until... Two weeks later and not one refund had been received. So I call this time, instead of using the online chat. I don't know the name of the man I talked to, but after placing me on hold twice, he lets me know that even though HE COULD SEE the convo I had with Fatima, he couldn't honor her promise because it was "against policy". I can't believe he was able to see the convo I had where a supervisor stated that she'd refund me and was still unwilling to resolve the issue. I was so disgusted I cancelled my account with them. Honestly, I hardly watch anything on prime video nor do I really order anything anymore, so my membership won't be missed. That company doesn't deserve a single dime from anyone if that's how it's going to operate.

  • Awful experience, gone down hill

    Long term customer, years, prime customer, hundreds of purchases every year. This year had nothing but problems/issues, raised a complaint over the phone & the manager literally said to me - "we can't do anymore, get over it Andrew & hang up" (I hope they record calls) she clearly didn't like that I requested to talk to a manager. I wanted to forward proof of discussions with Amazon associates to prove the fault was their end, but she refused to listen, refused to escalate the complaint and said it won't go any higher than her! Very, very worrying that Amazon have 'management' talking to customers this way. Surely the managers have managers? I don't know. I'll start shopping with high street shops for everything again though, forget Amazon.

    • Amazon can't deliver and doesn't honor timelines

      Amazon does not support its overnight delivery promises. Amazon could not locate my package, which shows as delivered (and which I don't have). Amazon driver consistently misdelivers to just any address in my neighborhood. Amazon driver did not provide photo of delivery, so it is undocumented. Amazon places burden of proof of its misdelivery on me. Thinking it is time to leave Prime, which is getting sloppy and nonresponsive. There are now more competitive options available than there were 10 years ago when I joined.

    • Useless Baby Wishlist Amazon

      I created an Amazon Uk baby wishlist for my friends in Brazil to be able to send me presents. To begin with, there’s no manuals on how they can buy from there without paying 3 times the price of an item in delivery. One very patient friend figured it out and sent me a gift, which showed to her as delivered (left by door or on porch) but I never received it - i did not get a call from the delivery guys as usual, I looked around, asked neighbors, nothing. After 1 hour in the queue on the phone to try to solve this, they told me my very patient friend is the one who has to call because they can’t find the order in my account. Of course the order is in her account, it was a gift, she bought it, but it’s MY baby wishlist, gift “delivered” to my address. I should have control over the orders and I want to solve this myself and not get my friend to spend her time with this nonsense. So my friend spent her time and her money on Amazon, just so we both would get gifted with stress and more waste of time.

    • getting the runaround on a return

      getting the runaround on a return. bought a refurbished computer. that was just trash. the hard drive was missing, or not hooked up. the battery was at the end of its life cycle. so i returned it the day after i received it. they have now had it back for over two weeks, and still no refund. had to open up a dispute through my bank. before the time aloud to open a dispute lapse. ever time i contacted them. I would just get the same appeasements with no actual resolve. just fluff. going to use a different online Warehouse . since their music app doesn't work at all, and their video streaming service now comes with commercials he can't skip

    • Assistenza ridicola.

      Ho ordinato delle strisce di gel Wine con Amazon presso la vetrina del venditore Maniko, in data 31/08/2023.Ultimamente la caduta di stile di Amazon in termini di assistenza è veramente aberrante. A nulla è servito ribadire che sono cliente Prime...sto lottando per un ordine fatto il 31 agosto con il qui presente Maniko Nails, per cui non ho ricevuto né notizia di spedizione, né informazioni dal venditore. 3 settimane di segnalazioni per ricevere sempre la stessa risposta: attenda 48 ore per la risposta del venditore. Mai arrivata! Né risposta del venditore, né risposte definitive circa il mio rimborso o ordine. Oltre il danno pure la beffa: con la "garanzia" AZ devo richiedere ancora di aprire un reclamo il 16 Settembre con il qui presente venditore, lo stesso verrà poi approvato dal " team" dedicato che approverà o meno il mio reclamo 😂 tutta questa manfrina per 18 euro, per un pacco che non ho mai ricevuto e stando alle loro tempistiche, questo rimborso " dovrei" vederlo entro una settimana dall'apertura del reclamo! La bellezza di un mese di attesa, per un venditore pessimo, e Amazon altrettanto pessimo per non aver alzato un dito per aiutarmi dopo settimane di segnalazioni. Segnalerò questa esperienza su qualsiasi canale. Riservatevi dall'ordinare con questi truffatori.

    • Hopeless

      Have had the same address and delivery instructions for over 20 years! In the last year I have contacted Amazon no less than 100 times about the same issue… Drivers either leaving packages on the pavement in plain view or not bothering to turn up at all and saying they attempted delivery. Instructions are always to leave in designated “safe place” so there is never a reason for a failed delivery. Sick of hearing pat customer service responses from people that are not equipped to actually deal with the issue or capable of deviating from pre-scripted procedures. Told every time they “understand” and “this is not the level of service we expect Amazon customers to receive” and “I will definitely ensure this never happens again.”…. A year! Over 100 phone calls, innumerable online chats and still…. The issue of ridiculously bad delivery, missing packages, dishonest drivers and poor customer services continues.

      Effettuato ordine che deve arrivare il giorno dopo, la consegna fallisce. È una settimana che chiamo il servizio clienti per capire perché non riescono a consegnarlo, ogni giorno mi assicurano arriverà il giorno successivo. Posso chiedere il rimborso vero, ma non è per ottenere rimborsi a fronte di mancate consegne che pago un servizio a prime.Peggiorato.

      Literally the worst website ever. I bought a few things from Amazon, which were perfectly fine. But when you've paid for the items, they keep your bank details and secretly subscribe you to Prime without you knowing. They continue charging you 2,99 every month until you notice and they don't make it particularly easy to cancel the subscription either.

      If you need it on time then stay far away from Amazon. Also good luck in even getting your package if their drivers take the packages out they drop them all over town and the kicker is they take a picture of the item on someone else's porch. I let them know my porch is concrete and the pictures are of some deck across town. Customer care is somewhere outsourced and they can't understand English it is very hard to communicate

I have four Amazon devices and a fire stick. If I cancel I will lose all my files, photos, the movies I purchased from Amazon, I'm sure that counts as stealing in England! My money paid for the films, my money paid the subscription but everything I have on my devices They Will Erase!!! That's stealing at the very least. Maybe they don't have that law in America maybe the bald dumb ass who owns Amazon does it all the time.

Wenn man kein Artikel bekommen hat soll man trotzdem den bezahlen!
