Yes I’ve used prime now for years almost weekly. They were there for me when they had no choice and we had strong feelings for each other. Or so I thought. After COVID they wouldn’t even take my call. For almost 2 months! They claimed they had no availability! I still saw them around town, with other people. Apparently, they were only available to schedule if you checked at 2 AM and sold themselves first come first serve. Disgusting. That was a couple months ago and cooler heads have prevailed. We are trying again, at least I’m trying again. Prime doesn’t yet know or care there was a problem but that’s normal right? Now that we are together again I have to agree with others. Unnecessary errors a lot of the time make the app so frustrating. I just spent 2 hours off and on trying to submit an order. Errors. Tried the browser page and done deal. It was the apps flaw. You are an elite tech mega conglomerate. Fix this. And while your at it quit allowing items to be placed in the cart and then making them disappear only to still be viewed and added to cart only to disappear!

Created lots of nicknames

App freezes all the time. I have to delete, reinstall, re-log-in just to order, complete an order, check in. Etc. Very frustrating. Several times, I couldn’t check in on way to pick up because app froze. So, I have to wait extra time at pick up. Searching for foods is not simple. There’s no way to send messages, special requests, or communicate with the shopper. Sometimes the app doesn’t show something that I know the store has, so I’m unable to purchase that item. Ive also ordered food for that night’s family dinner only not to receive that one vital item from my order. Customer service explained that prime’s contract with Whole Foods limits the quantity of products that can they sell to customers. So, The store may have 6 widgets, but I can only get 1 widget. Which is not enough widgets to feed my family. The only reason I use this service is because Whole Foods is about 30mins from home and they’re the only store that sells many of our daily foods and products. Otherwise, I would happily say goodbye to this service. If I place the order a day before, I may be able to get a favorable delivery window. Otherwise, not so much. I want to love this service, but it’s sadly lacking. Hopefully, it will improve.

we're in Cardiff!?!

I’m handicapped so this app is a blessing. It’s hard to impossible to get to the store and get a week worth of groceries from my car and into my house. So when everything works out, it’s WONDERFUL. However, the shoppers who put your order together are sometimes... not very communicative. They don’t answer simple questions or acknowledge requests (like asking for the bread to be sliced). You won’t know until the order ships if something is out of stock, and no replacement options are offered, although I believe that this is supposed to be policy. This makes it difficult to make sure that you can get your weekly shopping done properly. Also, you don’t have to sign in to place your order, but you have to sign in - repeatedly - to keep track of the progress of your order’s arrival. Not cool. I want safety measures to keep the wrong person from spending my money, not to keep me from checking in the arrival time of my order.
