4. AMAZON UK COMPLAINTS

Amazon has a comprehensive and exhaustive manual of guides on its helps pages. Since the company is primarily an e-commerce portal, it is not regulated by any independent agencies. The decisions of its customer service staff in most cases, ranging from refunds to returns, are final. Customers do not have an option to escalate their grievances, unless the product or service is related to finance. In such instances, customers may contact the Financial Ombudsman Service to perform an independent arbitration.

 

You may use the form provided on the website to submit your complaint. Alternatively, you may use one of the following contact methods to escalate your grievance.

 

• Email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk

• Telephone: 0800 023 4567, or 0300 123 9123 (8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday/ 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday)

• Mail: The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR

5. CALLING AMAZON UK CUSTOMER SERVICES

Amazon is the largest e-commerce website in the world. As such, they are handling a huge volume of calls on a daily basis – even more than their competitors. The waiting and hold time will definitely be longer.

 

To minimise your waiting time, please try to call during off-peak hours. It is also advisable to set aside a ‘free time’ window. This is to ensure you will not be aggravated by work and family demands while being kept on hold.

 

Before making the call, please write down the nature of your complaint on a piece of paper. Include all the relevant details, as well as any supporting documents. This will allow you to provide a complete and factual reporting of the issue at hand the first time around. Otherwise, you run the risk of forgetting a crucial bit of information which may necessitate a follow up call or two.

 

As you may already be aware, Amazon’s call centres are located outside of the UK. The customer service representative may be foreigners, and they might have trouble with your accent. It would help your case to speak slowly and clearly to them.

 

 In addition, please remember that you are not the first, tenth or fiftieth customer they have spoken to on the day. Like most call centre personnel, there is a good chance many customers have berated or yell at them earlier in the day. As such, trying to project your frustration won’t help.

 

Instead, try a little bit of reverse psychology. Treat them courteously and with respect. This is the secret of calling call centres. When you treat customer service reps with respect, they are more motivated to help you instead of just trying to end the call. You will see better results with just a few kind words.

6. ABOUT AMAZON UK

Amazon UK is a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., the largest online retailer in the world. It is also one of the Big Four technology firms in the world, with operations in digital streaming and cloud computing. In 2018, the company recorded revenues of almost $233 billion (£191 billion) – that’s larger than the GDP of Portugal or Greece. In July 2019, the company’s valuation briefly crossed the $1 trillion mark!

 

Amazon’s story began in 1994 when Jeff Bezos, a Princeton engineering and computer science graduate, launched the company as an online bookseller. Bezos, who almost named the company Relentless, originally ran the fledgling operation from his garage.

 

Bezos was a workaholic, and expected the same level of commitment from his staff. They worked over sixty hours a week during Amazon’s early days. Some would even bring family and friends to help out with the workload, especially in the office. If you feel sorry for them, don’t – all of them received stock options and are now retired multimillionaires.

 

In any case, Amazon grew massively within just a few short years and received massive investments to fund its growth. They were selling everything you could think of by then. But Bezos wanted more, so in 2002, Bezos launched Amazon Web Services, which today powers the backend of most major websites around the world.
