Highly recommend people price match this to another store and buy there instead.

I would avoid buying anything over $300 from Amazon. I purchased an Apple Watch Ultra from Amazon and it came ripped open and nothing inside and Amazon refused to refund it even after I filed a police report.

My coworker purchase Apple Watch Series 8 and returned it after finding a better price at Walmart. The UPS tracking said it was received by the Amazon return facility yet they refused to refund him for 60+ days. He had to eventually do a chargeback with his credit card and they locked his account and banned his address.

Concur with what you said

I ordered apple watch 8 I received Apple watch 7 in a 8 box
Ordered apple watch band received a different size in the correct case
Ordered a skateboard received a pair of very cheap ear rings with the skateboard label on the box
Ordered a $600 lense received a no name worth nothing lense in the box
Amazon is a scanners paradise and not worth it. Use Ebay instead

Wanted to add, ordered an iPhone on Amazon and had a really bad experience with Amazon my first and only one. They delivered an empty box. Basically it was an Amazon box and the apple box inside it with no phone.

Record yourself opening the farking Amazon box if you order expensive apple stuff. I'm not sure if the failure was at warehouse or if it happened in transit but either way I was almost out of $799 or so.

They ultimately refunded me but it was a sour experience.

Same here, awesome return policies and can drop off at UPS stores. People saying nothing in the package, Tip, packages are weighted before shipment, which can be disputed if empty. Take pictures of package, inside packaging content, and weight it.

There's none to dispute with. Amazon fired all the states base CSR and the overseas one reads a script. If you charge back you get banned and loose Amazon movies library, all your giftcards, your amazon music, your kindle library, your twitch account, your subs made through Amazon and so on.

Check out the Amazon Prime Reddit subreddit. It is a huge issue now. I see multiple instances of people returning the item to Amazon facility and Amazon just never processing the return for months.

Customer support at Amazon has taken a huge nose dive since beginning of this year too. The chat and phone agents know English but not really. It is hard to explain any issue to them. It also doesn't help that Amazon has taken all power away from chat and phone agents to issue refunds. Everything has to be sent to an investigation department who never gets back to you.

But sure, if you want to risk buying anything over $300 at Amazon go for it. Personally, not worth the hassle when there are other stores like Best Buy or Costco with better service.

I did this with my return. It doesn't matter if Amazon refuses to process the return. They just let the return sit at the warehouse and never refund you. All of the CSR can't do anything to help you and if you chargeback with your credit card company, you and your address are banned from anything Amazon related.

I just returned a 4k blu ray player (over $400) to them a week or so ago and got money refunded immediately. Not saying it doesn't happen but not my experience. If people return things missing everything from the box perhaps I could see Amazon balking. Also 3rd party sellers are a totally different game so I always make sure Amazon is the seller. Also if you abuse their return policy by constantly returning things you can probably expect to get banned.

Looking for opinions on what's more worth the price:

This series 8 at 359
Series 7 at 299 at Walmart
Series se at 179 at Walmart

Use will be for general health and fitness primarily. But not sure which is more worth the price

nobody can really answer for you, just go to their website and compare the specs of each. buy whichever meets the features you want.

I guess those ship by amazon can be returned to ups or kohls and the moment they scan at ups and kohls refund gets issued. So its better to buy those which are shipped by amazon

I think it's important understand the difference between two conflicting viewpoints here.

1. Yes, it's true Amazon will refund you for items over $300 -if- you received the item in the first place and decided to return it.
2. However, increasingly so, the issue is somehow in transit, the item disappear out of the box. I am not putting blame on anyone but one could potentially guess how it disappears. If you receive an empty box without the item and try to return it, needless to say, that's going to become a huge issue. I will leave it to everyone's imagination as to how it might disappear when the Amazon delivery person delivers an empty box.
