We live in the age of tech-overload. We buy it just to have it. But can you actually use it? Here's some great tips & answers in plain-English from e-guru Kenny Jahng on getting the most out of the gadgets & technology that surrounds us.
Seems like everyone on Earth has ordered something from Amazon.com, “Earth’s Largest Bookseller” - of course Amazon sells more than just books, they seem to sell just about everything under the sun. Yes, they seem to do it all…over the internet. That means no humans getting in your way of buying the things you want.
They definitely know how to sell over the web. But sometimes you really want to buy something from a retailer that knows how to SERVICE the customer before or after the sale. This is one side that Amazon doesn’t try to jump through hoops for apparently. If you check out the Amazon.com customer service webpage, you’ll find NO customer service telephone number listed at all. Isn’t that so frustrating! You almost believe that they have no telephones over at Amazon. Perhaps they all just use telepathy or use sign-language or hand signals to each other, or perhaps they just IM everything to each other. It must be one quiet place you may think after looking up their contact information on their website.
One little known consumer tip is that Amazon.com does has live customer service just like any off-line company — and yes, it is available via the telephone. Here’s some handy customer service numbers you may be able to use if anything goes wrong with your order at Amazon.com or if you have questions, want to change shipping addresses, get a refund, etc.

Where do I get the best magazine rates for subscriptions. I subscribe to several magazines, mostly horse. Thank you, Donna

@Donna: Although Amazon.com is cheap for a lot of things, magazine subscriptions is one category that’s best to shop elsewhere.
For horse-related magazines, I recommend going to http://www.GetSubscriptions.com - offering a 100% Money Back Policy, 90-Day No-Risk Guarantee and thousands of satisfied customers have used getsubscriptions.com for gift magazine orders as well.

if you click on HELP on the website you can get the number, then again you have to be able to read to figure that one out.

@me - first, I ask that if you’re going to post a comment, please do not hide behind anonymous identities. Your sarcasm isn’t appreciated.
First, let me note that not all international customer service numbers posted above are available. Moreover, it’s not always easy to find the page with the number. I just clicked on what YOU recommended in your sarcastic comments and got this page:
So even thought I can “read to figure that one out”, it didn’t work!
Thanks for stopping by. Perhaps next time you can share something positive with our other visitors.
