What's happening to Amazon?

I ordered some things to decorate for Thanksgiving and am very disappointed. The Wood Dough Bowl (Medium size) is SMALL!!!

The Artificial Boston Fern Plants are horrible (more plastic than silk). And the Burlap Holiday Wreath Bow is not what I consider extra large. ​

Did you look at the measurements?
Maybe you could return them

Yes, I looked at the measurements. I even got the measuring tape out.

I am returning the dough bowl; keeping the other stuff. Very disappointing. A first for me. Returning is no problem. Guess I'll go to Hobby Lobby for crafty stuff.

Sorry to hear that. I would suggest trying to get dimensions before you order, and check into reviews of the products (although I assume you did that). If the dimensions are not as advertised, Amazon makes it easy to return/refund.

Since most items sold on Amazon.com are not made by Amazon, they're not about to ruin their reputation over a vendor's poor products.
 
My son ordered a backpack and they sent the wrong size twice. He was running out of time. They told him to keep the second one and then they sent him the correct size pronto. My son gave the smaller pack to his sister. She was thrilled.

It's a Covid thing. Seasoned employees are not going back to work. Labor shortages and inexperienced new employees are the problem as I see it. Customer service is down the tubes.....and I'm not just talking about Amazon. It's all over the country. Have you all noticed?

As others suggested, check details, dimensions, etc. But, one of the things I like about Amazon is their excellent & simple return procedure.
Returns are usually free; even return shipping. A couple of items I was not happy with were "Not returnable." When I spoke to someone at Amazon, they refunded them & said, "Not necessary to return."

Happened again. Order was supposed to be here the 7th. Now it’s the 9th or 10th. I’m paying for the prime delivery too. :mad:

Like you, I have prime & a D.C. (Distribution center) only about 45 miles from me. Sometimes if I order early morning I get it the same day. Other times it's maybe a week or more. Tracking says out for delivery. I can follow the truck on my computer. So I know when it will get here. Sometimes the truck goes back to its headquarters & my package is still on the truck.

When my normal driver UPS does get here I ask him why he went back to his home place? He said that was not me that was a new inexperienced driver. We can't get good drivers anymore.

ABSOLUTELY
I ORDERED SLIDERS NEVER RECEIVED THEM INSTEAD AND PULLOVER BLOUSE I never ordered. This from pinterest and a resale toy with missing parts. I feel I've ordered these twice and the payment was taken by someone not remembering if I had before made me want to reorder not sure of the 1st. It seems these things are from China now either someone is hacking into or hijacking my paypal....it's really a problem that is growing quite huge. I am so overwhelmed. When I looked at the site in the cart is the item stull....so strange when I thought it had gone through and suddenly my email that would notify me of the delivery ....I ca. No longer sign in to!!!!!

I cannot understand your post, but it does sound like your account was hacked (or an easy password guessed?). I would change your credit card (get your bank to cancel it and send you a new one ASAP) so that you don't get any fraudulent charges.

Then deal with your Paypal account. And NEVER put your bank account info into Paypal.

That happened to me with ballet shoes; they sent the wrong size, twice.
Have you noticed too that delivery times keep changing?
It must be a Covid-related shortage because they used to be so good about such things.

Your mileage may vary, but I am not finding that to be true at all.

I wholeheartedly agree with you Devi. Amazon is basically a sales platform for retailers big and small and for the most part unlike fleabay you can contact the original seller for more accurate information not posted on the Amazon sales template. Also Amazon will not penalize you for signing up for Prime when placing an order then canceling Prime within 24 hours once you accept delivery.
 
Living in a small town, my options are limited when it comes to shopping and having multiple options for almost anything. So I relied heavily on Amazon for years until this year. Like many of you, I started having trouble with orders and I decided I no longer wanted to support Jeff Bezos. He's not losing any sleep because he's lost my business.

Btw, Amazon stock will split 20:1 on June 3, 2022. o_O
 
Another issue facing Amazon is an increasing movement among its employees to become Unionized. They are probably getting tired of seeing Bezos getting richer every day, while they are barely able to meet their food and housing costs. If they shut Amazon down, even for a few days, the consumers who rely on that company will take a good hit. If Bezos gives in, any price advantage Amazon may have will quickly be eroded due to higher labor costs.
