Article and rant detailing my extremely negative experience with business account opening and network gear order on Amazon, covering difficulty in getting customer support, difficulty setting up business account, difficulty reporting potential security issue, shipment of second-hand open-box devices instead of new items, Amazon's refusal to send replacements, problems with the process of used items collection and associated refund, barrage of auto-generated emails, zero customer care, my subsequent decision to shop local, other details, and more
Easy solution; don’t use Amazon.
Not that easy seriously. I boycott them most of the time, but there has been a product that I didn’t have a choice to order through them in the last year. I don’t mind paying a bit more elsewhere if it means they don’t get any of my money, but they’ve literally destroyed some of their competition to the point where no alternative exists for certain products.
Just don’t used the world’s largest retailer and hope the next largest retailer isn’t mirroring their business practices.
