I&#8217;m happy to report that Amazon has been rated #1 in the National Retail Federation Customers&#8217; Choice Awards, has been awarded the top spot in the MSN Money Customer Service Hall of Fame three years in a row, and is a JD Power and Associates 2012 Customer Service Champion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Amazon recently scored 86  top score  on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), and 89 on the ForeSee customer satisfaction survey  the highest ever attained by a retailer. And, our dedicated Kindle customer service team has received a 97.1% satisfaction rate from Kindle customers. We are grateful for and energized by this response.<\/p>\n<p>You can count on us to continue working hard on setting everhigher standards for customer service.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being a customer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10721 aligncenter\" title=\"customer-satisfaction-bezos-acsi\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/customer-satisfaction-bezos-acsi.png\" alt=\"customer satisfaction survey, amazon, acsi\" width=\"500\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/customer-satisfaction-bezos-acsi.png 500w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/customer-satisfaction-bezos-acsi-300x76.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some Commentary<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ACSI, as a measurement of satisfaction, is lacking in many, many respects. It&#8217;s a score, not a system or a program. In other words, ACSI produces a score ONCE per year, and provides no insight into how to improve customer satisfaction. It&#8217;s just a benchmarking milemarker.<\/li>\n<li>While Amazon is quite proud of its advocacy for the customer, the general worldview inside Amazon (at least when I was there) is that if Amazon is doing everything right, no customer should be calling, engaging chat, or emailing customer service. One and done &#8211; or A to Z is the worldview. In other words &#8211; go to Amazon to search, place in cart, pay, receive &#8211; then go on with your life. Convenience is a key value proposition.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Nevertheless, great job Amazon.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customer Service Rankings for Amazon.com &#8211; It&#8217;s no secret that Amazon is the most customer-centric company on the planet &#8211; that&#8217;s clearly their aim and the mantra that Jeff Bezos lives by daily.
