as for the shopping experience, I guess ymmv? amazon doesn't always have the cheapest price on things, but I've never received anything counterfeit. with one or two exceptions, everything I've bought there has met my expectations. and when it didn't, the refund hit my account the second the shipping label got scanned.
especially this past year, AMZL has been the real killer feature for me. it's the only shipping service that consistently delivers my packages on time, which really shouldn't be hard when I live in an apartment building in a major city. sometimes they even deliver early! when ups/fedex moves my packages faster than expected, they just let them sit in the local distribution center until the guaranteed delivery date. I've given up on usps entirely, unless "soon" is an acceptable delivery date.
most of their streaming stuff is crap, I'll give you that. but they picked up my all-time favorite TV show, the expanse. tbh, I'd pay $120/year just to keep that show running.
> Did not activate. Microsoft support confirmed the key was already used multiple times.
> THIS IS NOT FOR RESALE! single use. This is an OEM Copy that is given alongside existing systems so that way a user can upgrade their motherboard / hardware and still use the same code. it violates the TOS for the user to install / use it.
> Bought this for a brand new computer build. Activation could not be performed as number is blocked by Microsoft. I contacted Microsoft customer support, my product key has been activated OVER 20 times and has been flagged for abuse!!?? I also have a "NEW" Windows 7 pro that will not activate that I bought off Amazon... guess what Microsoft said about it.... not happy.
Ended up cancelling my account and never looked back. Been shopping locally as much as possible since last summer
I had a terrible experience with small businesses and i will not be going back.
I never had any trouble canceling or refunding any order on Amazon. I literally sent back for a replacement a drone 3 times, and not once did they ever cause me any grief.
But the first time i try to cancel an order that hadnt even been paid or shipped yet i get pushback?
No. Bad customer service has to have consequences.
