Hello,
We have denied the customers request for a refund of USD ******* on order 114-0776070-9030648 as customer failed to return the item within the prescribed return period.

Also, it is clearly mentioned in the product description page about the warranty being fulfilled by the manufacturer. Kindly request customer to reach out to the manufacturer to claim their warranty.
Customer raised a chargeback dispute on this order with their card issuer and the dispute is settled in Amazon's favor by their card issuer after thorough investigation.
Kindly request customer to reach out to their card issuer for more information with regards to this refund.

Complaint: 22819647
Dear *****,
I have reviewed Amazons response to my complaint(ID22819647). I dispute their arguments for denial of refund (return) as detailed below.
I reported the defective AC unit to Amazon the same day (July 18, 2024) a licensed contractor installed the unit and found it defective, I contacted Amazon **************** about the issue and requested to return the product, see Amazon Service instruction to the seller in the same day below:
Dear Amazon Seller, This is Amazons **************** team. A customer reached out to us with some questions about a purchase they made from you. Heres a description of the issue: Product: B07N4CBZ8N Order number: 114-0776070-9030648 Return requested: No Reason for contact: He wants to return the item because he already installed how ever its not working, deffective item. And also, the item is too heavy so he cannot return this item back via drop off, hes requesting for it to be pick up because its too heavy. Please respond to this request within 48 hours. Thanks, Amazon Customer Service (Jul 19, ********* PM)
Please note this customer could not take the unit to a normal shipper like ***** or *** since it was delivered to my address by a special transportation company SAIA when I was not home. The unit is heavy and requires a forklift to move around. Thats why in the instruction Amazon **************** instructed the seller to issue an order to pick up the item. I have been waiting for the seller to provide instructions to return it until this day, see the last communication between Amazon **************** and the seller below at this customers request:
Dear ********************** Seller, This is Amazons **************** team. A customer reached out to us with some questions about a purchase they made from you. Heres a description of the issue: Product: B07N4CBZ8N Order number: 114-0776070-9030648 Return requested: No Reason for contact: Customer has received a damaged item and customer wants return label information to return the item. Please help the customer by providing a proper return label as soon as possible. Please respond to this request within 48 hours. Thanks, Amazon **************** (Jan 15, ********* AM)
Its obvious that this customer has been wanting to return the item since day one but lacked the means of returning it, and the seller did not provide any help or instruction for returning the item after the initial defective product report (July 18, 2024) and through dozens of communications with the customer over 7 months, see previous Attachment 5 (Communications between me and MRO The Next Day).
As to the second reason of denial, this customer filled out a ?250 item technical data sheet as requested by the seller. I also contacted the original manufacturer (*******) for technical support, but ******* refused to work with me since I am not a licensed contractor.
Regarding the third reason for the denial, this customer did raise the chargeback dispute on this order with the Discover Card, but Discover denied the refund based on considerations of financial transactions not the return policy of defective products. Discover stated to me that they are only concerned with the legitimacy of financial transactions, and defective product return is not in their jurisdiction and that shall be Amazons consideration.
I have been with Amazon for many years, and this is the first dispute regarding a defective product. I hold a belief that it has a policy that guarantees that a customer has a right to return a defective product that does not work in the first place. As to the argument by the seller that if a customer installed a defective product, then it cannot be returned. This argument makes no sense. How did a customer know if the product is defective until he hires a licensed contractor to install it, and the contractor finds its defective?

Dear Better Business Bureau, The fact that Amazon is applying a law they do not know is killing my business. I would like to file a formal complaint against them. Details of the complaint: Amazons system incorrectly flagged my offer for ASIN B0CZ8DFW3Z as a restricted product, resulting in the suspension of my entire account. This action has paralyzed my income for over half a year due to an erroneous product suspension. I provided all the ***** approval certifications to Amazons support teams, and they ignored the evidence submitted. It is concerning that Amazon enforcement teams do not understand documentation from the regulatory body overseeing this law (FIFRA). On 11/21/2024, I submitted an appeal with all the required documentation to reinstate my listing and account, but once again, it was all ignored. A second review of this appeal submission, with a proper understanding of FIFRA, would easily rectify Amazons mistake.Resolution desired:I have helped provide all the Government-approved documents. Please help me reinstate my product and account. Thank you,BIRONG MI Phone number: ************** Merchant Token: A2LJLUSEZOD3DM Zip Code: *****Business Response

Hello,
We have reviewed the sellers account and we are unable to reinstate their selling privileges.
We took these actions because the seller was in violation of our Pesticides Claims policy.
Under the terms of this sellers agreement with Amazon Services, we removed their selling privileges and placed a hold on any funds in their seller account on June 1, ******* notified the seller of this decision by email on that day.
The seller can see balance and settlement information in the Payments section of Seller Central. If they have questions about funds, they can send an email to *********************************************************************

I purchased an item from Amazon (facemasks), and the item was not packed properly so it arrived damaged. Amazon should have shipped it in a box, but shipped it in an envelope. I contacted Amazon to ask for a refund or replacement, but Amazon has refused to do either even though I sent them pictures of the damaged product. It is unacceptable for Amazon to not properly ship an item which caused it to get damaged in shipping and then refuse to refund a customer. I was further inconvenienced by having to send pictures and call Amazon multiple times to try and get this resolved. Amazon's customer service is by far the worst I have ever experienced with ANY company.Business Response

I am filing a complaint regarding an issue with my Amazon account ******************** which was recently deactivated without clear justification. The account contains a substantial amount of gift card credit, derived from legitimate refunds for undelivered orders, and I am unable to access these funds.Background:I recently moved to ***************** in August 2024. Before this, as an international buyer based in *****, I frequently used Amazons U.S. store to purchase items for resale in my local shop. Following Amazons guidance, I requested refunds for undelivered items, which were credited as gift cards. Despite complying with Amazons refund process, my account was unexpectedly deactivated with thousands of dollars of credits.Attempts to Resolve:I have contacted Amazon's Buyer Account Appeals Team twice (emails sent on December 6, 2024, and January 11, 2025) to request a thorough review of my case. I explained my compliance with Amazons Conditions of Use and outlined steps to ensure future adherence to their policies. However, I have received no resolution or clear explanation for the account deactivation.Concerns:The deactivation has caused significant inconvenience and financial loss.Amazon has provided no specific details regarding alleged ************* valid gift card credits, amounting to thousands of dollars, remain inaccessible.Resolution Sought:I am seeking the reinstatement of my Amazon account or, at minimum, the release of my gift card credit. I also request a detailed explanation of any alleged policy violations to clarify and resolve this matter.I trust the BBB will assist in mediating this issue to reach a fair and prompt resolution.Thank you for your time and attention.Sincerely,***** ****** ***************** ************ Rukie Sekine ***************** ************Business Response

Hello,
Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.
Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.
We notified the customer of this decision by email on 1/3/2025.

Dear Amazon Customer Service,
Your response is unacceptable. You are essentially stating that Amazon can terminate accounts, seize funds, and refuse to provide any explanation. This is not how a legal business should operate.
How can Amazon justify keeping my account balance without providing any reason or due process? This is a clear violation of consumer rights. Customers have the right to know why their accounts are closed and why their money is being withheld.
I demand a clear and detailed explanation of what "violations" you claim occurred and the immediate release of my rightful funds. If this is not resolved, I will take further action to hold Amazon accountable.
Sincerely,
***** ******Rukie Sekine

I purchased a item too to be exact for the total amount of ***** this delivery was supposed to make it to My Home January 7 when January 7 came I had no package no delivery I went online it said delay will email one shipped couple days past still no package so eventually, I end up chatting with a representative from the company they told me that it was showing that it wasnt delayed and that I was gonna receive a email within 24 hours regarding shipment information **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** once shipped a new representative spoke with him stated the same thing that I will receive an email within the next 24 hours with my shipment information and that I could not cancel the order and that he will also put a five dollar promotional credit on my account again 24 hours came and gone no email about my package, so then, as I was making my way to a library to pick up some school supplies and documents and find out that there are now two pending transactions on my account for the same package which made me have a panic attack due to not being able to purchase the items that I need. And once again, I have no package and now the shipment is stating that it will not be delivered to January 2. I contacted customer service again. The young lady I spoke with stated that she was going to refund me for both of the transactions that showed up on my account and she was going to give me a $30 promotional credit due to my inconvenience. Something told me to doublecheck to make sure that the promotional credit was added, and I did not see it so I contacted customer service again spoke with a representative and a supervisor this time and theyre both saying one of the transactions is just a authorization and that will fall off however, neither one of them say anything about the refund that was supposed to be applied I did receive my promotional credit.Business Response

Hello ******* ******,
I'm Arun from Amazon.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
I have thoroughly reviewed the details of your order #***-0658892-7382668.
Upon investigation, I can confirm that there was only one charge processed for this order. However, I understand your concern regarding the double authorization by your bank.
In such cases, we recommend contacting your bank directly, as they have the ability to release the additional authorization hold.
Unfortunately, Amazon is not able to intervene in this process, as it falls under the purview of your banking institution.
Regarding the $35 credit that was promised to you, I'm pleased to inform you that our customer support team has already applied this credit to your Amazon account on January 12th.
We value your business and appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.

I am so sorry about the issue you faced with your order #***-3599086-7669830.
I understand that your return hasn't been collected and you are waiting for the refund on these items.
Upon reviewing, I see that the returns have been initiated. However, the items aren't returned to our returns center and hence no refund has been issued on the order.
I understand that you no longer possess the items as they were lost while kept out for pick up.
In this case, I am afraid that we can no longer process refund on the items that are not returned.
