Customer Service Cheats
February 7, 2025

I was promised an extension by multiple Amazon reps while I waited for a reply from the seller. I wanted to give Amazon and the seller the opportunity to solve the issue. I was promised there were notes in my file. I was promised that the calls were recorded. I also rebooked Intelcom for a return that was not picked up as scheduled by Amazon. I was told they'd come Sat at 10. Now I'm told Intelcom doesn't pick up on Saturdays. I am told that all of the reps put no notes in my file. I was told that it is against policy to listen to the quality assurance recordings. I am now told I missed both deadlines, one for believing 3 different reps that I had an extension and could return a product, one because their pickup service didn't show up. I can no longer be a customer of Amazon due to all of this cheating. Amazon has changed their treatment of customers and I am now forced to return anything I can and end the business.

Soliciting government issued ID
November 28, 2024

Just nowNew-Edit Delete
BE WARNED - Amazon is soliciting your government issued ID or they will refuse to refund your return. I was informed by my bank DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR ID. There is currently a class action lawsuit against them because of this. If they refund the same method of payment how exactly is this even needed? They are a retailer! I have filed a complaint with Ontario Consumer Protection. This is how they detour the consumers from returning a poor quality product. They are now holding my refund hostage. It's a scam.

I was logged into my amazon account and got an ad for 3 months free for Amazon music. I clicked through and signed up and only got 1 month. Bait and switch advertising.

This is a direct copy of the review I gave to amazon that they did not like.
First thing I disliked was the fact the box did not come sealed in a cellophane plastic. Meaning it was opened or some one bought it and returned it. The second dislike is there were large number of open barrel "U" connectors missing. To be exact 100 pcs. The first photo was the box that came with the advertised connectors, the second is a photo of what I got inside the box with the largest "U" connectors missing. I only received 3 sizes of the 4 sizes "U" connectors as advertised. The final photo is the ad that was put on Amazon to entice you to buy product.
I have read from many other people that they have purchased a product only to find out that someone before them bought it and opened it then sent it back to where it's put back on the shelf and the poor customer that orders the same product gets an open package delivered with pieces missing or taken out.

First, *Do not buy anything on Amazon.ca that is sold by a third party seller*.
Amazon will not help you at all, and you'll get ripped off from those third party sellers.
What they call an A -Z guarantee is completely useless!

Customer service hides their phone number, making it difficult to speak to a human. If you do reach a human they won't help you, they just hang up on you!

They hung up on me twice today. Even by a so-called supervisor!
I was told by 3 customer service people that the last person I spoke to gave me the WRONG INFORMATION… and they won't make it right! (In other words, You lose sucker!)

Amazon.ca is expensive and purchases are often shipped from the USA which may cost you duties.

Typical Canada, you won't find any bargains here! It's a world away from Amazon.com.

Return policy
July 3, 2024
Updated review

Amazon's return policy is a joke. When you go to create a return it would display when you will receive your refund BUT if you call them that is not what they tell you. Some of my items were refunded within a day or two, some 7 days and then 30 days. They will always tell you that you will receive your refund after WE RECEIVE your item. That IS NOT what it says when you create the return. Usually it states 7 or 16 days for refund from the time of drop off. BUT their system never updates the drop off! Amazon changes their policy like the wind. I'm going back to Walmart this isn't worth my time.

Scam

After I posted my review they changed my refund date. I am reporting them to Consumer Affairs they may be able to set a return window but once it's issued they cannot change it.

Something new

Previous review

I recently learned that although Amazon guarantees your return they offer the manufacturer return criteria they can choose from. What? So the refund is based on what criteria the return fits. Mine was over $100 therefore it will take almost 30 days to get my refund. Stupidest thing I have ever heard! If you buy from a seller other than Amazon and it's over $100 this is your headache. Also Amazon can't do anything about it. Amazon is supposed to make shopping easier but they have added too many restrictions lately.

Awful!
February 4, 2024

They didn't deliver items then it took 6 weeks, 3 (expensive) phone calls, and 8 chats on site to get a full refund. They kept blaming my bank but when I threatened legal action they sent it back!
I am still £70 out of pocket because phone calls and they never respond when asking about complaints or compensation

Manufacturer and Amazon failed me, didn't deliver order after 10 months and cancelled just now! 7 months ago I called to either cancel or get the item as well, and the Amazon rep LIED to me saying they were getting the mufflers back in stock already so I should just wait... nothing. Destroyed my project and now increasing pricing for me as I could have gotten it and other parts in the order elsewhere nearly 11 months earlier! (now it's winter)
