Amazon decided to cut me off from leaving reviews and wouldn’t tell me why. After asking 3 times and receiving the same e-mail that just had a link to their review policies, I quit. They also lied about “warning me” via email – they “warned” me and silenced me within 3 days of each other and I hadn’t left any reviews in the meantime. I am always respectful in my reviews and can’t imagine what I did wrong – but I have to imagine since they won’t tell me. I did nearly ALL of my shopping on Amazon and now they lose over $25,000 per year from our household.

Amazon is nothing but a big pain. You are right. I also can’t understand what they are saying. Their third-party shoppers aren’t any better.

In reply to Christopher J Wahl.

I agree with you, regarding Amazon. Things have gotten so bad.

The overseas agents are impossible to understand, and they refuse to transfer me to a native English-speaking representative.

I think the reps in the US must be overworked, as they are now getting short with customers. After today, I will only watch Prime and not purchase from Amazon again.

Amazon now owns Zappos, so cross that one off the list.

Another good one is Poshmark. They are great for buying or selling, and you are helping individuals and small businesses.

In reply to Mo.

Agree. I too am canceling my Prime with Amazon after what they did to the American’s freedom of speech (cutting off Parler). Very disappointed with Amazon. This is a great eye opener on what type of people run these corporations.

I got cheated by a third party. Amazon was no help. And the worst part is things never get the attention that they deserve. And the absolute worst thing ever…they replaced all the native English speaking, (first generation) people and now it’s impossible to understand anyone on the line. No offense to anyone, but I can not understand what they are saying. If I ask them to repeat, I am treated like a dog. I have even been hung up on, many times. Enough with Amazon!

After what Amazon did to the American people’s freedom of speech (cutting off the hosting for Parler) I’m done with them as well. I used to shop a lot! This article will help me look around elsewhere from now on! Canceling my Prime and removing Amazon from my phone. I didn’t even use Parler, I just don’t think it’s up to a corporation to determine what social media site people choose to use. It’s just in bad taste.

Amazon didn’t turn out to be worthwhile. I’ve had a few issues and no response. In the last three years, I’ve only shopped there once.
My next door neighbor bought a set of running boards for his SUV. They didn’t fit. When he inquired about returning them, the seller wanted a return fee. I wrote the part number down and checked: the number was correct for this car.
Amazon did nothing.
Wise up. Many people are overlooking the fact that they can be the next person to get knocked down.

Just a little note: Jet is owned by Walmart now so when you go to their site, it will direct you to shop on Walmart.
