    It’s not surprising here on Lemmy, but on pretty much every other site I’ve ever mentioned issues I’ve had with Amazon, the replies would be filled with people claiming it is the best customer service, that they’ve never had any issues with Amazon at all, and that it must be something I did to cause the problem.

    Personally I stopped using Amazon on a regular basis almost a decade ago after it was clear that the company I first started using back in the mid 2000s was irrevocably changed for the worse.

      People who spend a lot on Amazon have great experiences on Amazon, people who don’t spend a lot on amazon have poorer experiences

      I suspect when you contact them there is a dashboard that tells the customer service operator how much effort they should put in to retain you as a customer.

      You probably need to stay within a certain ratio of returns vs keeping stuff, and as long as your score is good, they’ll honour returns without asking too much questions. We definitely return a lot of stuff without having any trouble, but we only return like less than 1% compared to what we buy.

      There are no women people on the internet.

          And inventing a bunch of people who do nothing but sing the praises of amazon isn’t?

          People have been shitting on Amazon for years, you haven’t exactly stumbled on a revelation. You’re not some outsider who’s the only one who sees the truth.

        Or you let your hatred of corporations lead you off into fantasy land 🤷‍♂️

        My family must have spent 50 or 60k at Amazon over the years and have never had more than an annoyance they was quickly fixed by a CSR.

        But yeah, I guess we’re all getting tricked into liking the store 🙄
