Comment on Amazon Sellers’ RIP OFF delivery charges! by Kaz

Amazon.co.uk are disgusting. I purchased a book through them and tried to send it back and nothing worked on the site and I kept going back to the begnning all the time. You are easily sucked into their Membership rubbish which is a brilliant way for them to take your money without your consent and then they have the audacity to treat you like shit when they have done so. Also Vistaprint are doing the same scam. You purchase business cards with them then they take monthly payments from your account. When you contact they are polite and give you a refund. I am not happy with Amazon.co.uk I did not sign up for Premier Membership. I asked for a refund and was given a partial refund.
I spoke to an Irishman at Amazon today who offered no apology they think it is their right to take £47+ from your account. I am not interested in any form of membership all I want are the goods that I ordered. If they are free of charge or postage paid that is all I am interested in. Amazon have got their legal team to cook up a way of scamming the public to take our money on a contual basis. Consumers must watch out for these thieves. They are very much above their station. They offer cut price goods then try to rip you off with their RUBBISH MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE. I do not remember accepting their Terms and Conditions. If they operated a website that was reliable that would make a big different. Its the thumbs down for Amazon.co.uk from me. I will never ever purchase another item from them again. THEY ARE SCUM ripp of merchants. Beware of these scumbag companies who offer cheap goods and then create a Membership Rip of Scheme to help themselves to your money. Spread the word folks Amazon.co.uk are thieves and treat the consumer like dirt.
