I recently purchased a 2nd generation Apple Pencil from Amazon. It stopped working, and I missed the very short return window by not even 24 hours. It got delivered March 19th, and the return window closed on April 4th at 3:00 am (I contacted them between 9 and 11 am). I was told to go through the manufacturer to get help, so I went to an Apple Store and they said they couldn’t do anything besides give me a replacement for $109 when it only costs $129 new. I was under the impression that this product had a 12 month warranty, but either side is pretty much telling me I’m out of luck. I’m definitely over Amazon after this. Is there anything I can do here?

I'm new, having recently decided that I dislike Amazon's business practices enough to look for alternatives.

I do almost all of my shopping online, but of course the first dozen or so Google results of anything I look up are always for amazon. How do I filter them out of my searches? I tried the - suggestion, but maybe I did it wrong because it didn't work.

Wanting to buy a graphics tablet (used so I'm not contributing to the Congo crisis). I thought the anti amazon subreddit might be helpful in find alternatives to amazon to buy a used graphics tablet. I'm Canadian if that's important

Hi all! I am anemic and spend a ton of time and money (for my budget) sourcing local high quality beef organs. This is fine, but I recently was told about an iron fish that I can add to sauces and such to increase my iron intake. Literally all online results have come up Amazon and non of the local shops in town carry this. I will simply skip getting if that is the only option, but was wondering if anyone knows of a shop or a non big box store or online retailer I might be able to find this? I try really hard to support small and local, I am in northern New Mexico, if that is helpful. If this is the wrong place to post, could you let me know a better sub?

Hello all,

Is there an extension to block items/vendor within Amazon? For example I use Blocktube and Ublack for chrome and youtube.

​

Very easy to remove a video or channel you never want to see again..

This is one of the more blatant frauds I have seen coming out of Amazon. I ordered motors for my quadcopter.

What arrives in the highly anticipated package?

3d printed replicas of the motors - all 4 of them. Someone printed motors and returned them - of course, Amazon didn’t pick up on it.

Very frustrating when a company like Amazon can’t keep their supply chain clean - imagine how much of this garbage is mixed into their inventory?

Prime doesn't apply to them!! WHAT. Since when did this become common enough for two out of two items I ordered, not be eligible for prime? A book and some touchup paint pen. Both will take over a week to get here and I had to PAY 6$ for shipping with each item (ordered separately). WTH amazon

I totally lost my S*^7 today because this was the 3rd time that I ended my membership and turned off my autorenewel. This time I even took all the credit cards off of my membership page. However, there was still a card that I used under a purchase.

Amazon went ahead and turned back on my membership renewel and used my card without my authorization. I called them. They are going to refund me, but that is beside the point. Amazon stole from me. This has been happening with them off and on for 2-3 years.

Imagine if they used a credit card that I never use... they could have destroyed my credit. Imagine if they used a debit card that had very little in the balance. I would have been charged overdraft and late fees, over and over.

I will NEVER use Amazon ever again. I recommend people to delete Amazon, but if you have to use it, REMOVE your cards after every purchase.

​

Just an example of how this commonly has made billions - I stumbled across one of their scams today.

See pics. Amazon sells and ships both of these listings.

The first one as I scrolled was the $37.xx listing. After purchasing, I went back in my cart today to purchase the same book for a friend.

For someone reason I kept scrolling, and ended up on the exact same product for $21, half the price.

I was livid and told Amazon to refund me the difference.

They could not explain why they have the same product listed for double the price.

Amazon refused to refund the difference- I am going to report this to the CFPB and the FTC.

I don't know how many other products Amazon is pulling this scam with. If you don't scroll and search like inspector gadget, you will not come across the cheaper listing.

It is obviously the principal of it. They raised fees of prime, cut prime services, and now they are blatantly scamming me and refusing to make it right.

When this prime subscription expires, I'm done.

It's been 13 years that I've been a prime member and their unethical scamming of $16 and refusing to refund me for the overage is the last straw.

A big 🖕🏾🖕🏾 to Amazon.

In Google Shopping, I tried three different searches:

• iPhone 13 Pro Max case magsafe -amazon
• iPhone 13 Pro Max case magsafe -amazon.com
• iPhone 13 Pro Max case magsafe -site:amazon.com

On all of them, the overwhelming majority of the results (over 80% for the first one) are from Amazon. Before posting this, I did a Reddit search and saw that someone had asked the same question in this subreddit about a year ago, but the only solutions proposed were the things I'd already tried. Did they change something in the last year?

There's a checkbox in the left column to show Amazon & Walmart results, but no checkbox to hide them.

As of a few months ago apparently, you can no longer use Amazon gift card balance to buy other gift cards, game/time cards ect. They are about to get a massive wave of backlash this holiday season.

Any ideas on how I can get my refund back? About a month ago a package was supposed to arrive with some others to my buildings reception. This package required a code to be given.

The package without a code arrived fine that day at reception, however the second package was apparently given to the resident. How they found my address 50m down the round despite no information and no access as they didnt have the 2 keys required for 2 sets of doors is completely fine according to amazon.

​

I've been calling and emailing for a month asking for a refund but the Account Specialists keep blocking it and saying the carrier delivered it. They keep sending me the same emailing saying that I've breached their policies despite the only policy being breached is my right to a refund after their carrier stole my package.

I've filed a police report and sent it to them after they asked for one but I'm not sure what else I can do

When I find something I would like, I will look for retailers using a Google Lens search with a product image. But 95% of Google Lens results seem to be from Amazon. I know how to keep amazon out of my normal google text search results. How do I avoid amazon using google lens search?
