Items have been returned but never refunded. Amazon refused refunds for both orders since they partially reimbursed the bank for one of the orders in a chargeback.

On December 6th, 2025, I purchased a Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 27" smokeless fire pit on Amazon. The sales order with Amazon is 112-8061356-2862655 and purchased for $509.99. This package was delivered to a hotel (XV ************- *********************************) in ****** instead of our home in ******* by mistake and this address error was not caught during the ordering process. We were staying at the hotel at the time of the order and had just placed an order with Whole Foods the day before and the address saved but wasn't caught during this order. Per the driver of from Amazon, the package was delivered on 12/13/2025 and left near the front door or porch. However, the female employee at the hotel concierge informed me when I called them that they (1) rejected the package and (2) the female driver for Amazon left with the package and it was NOT left near the front door. I contacted Amazon on 12/14/2025 to inform them of this mistake and they told me they would refund my account in 7-10 business days. I went ahead and ordered another stove based on this information. In January, I called Amazon to inform them I had not received a refund, but they informed me that it was not possible now. It is now a theft/stolen goods situation, and I needed to file a police report. I contacted the A1 precinct in ****** ************** and they stated I needed to file a report in person only but since I live in *******; to file the report at my local police precinct. Once filed, my precinct would forward the information to the detectives in ******. I filed this report in ******* and too allow a few weeks for the report to be processed and the case record to be sent to ******. I contacted Amazon to inform them of the long, but they now informed me my timeline to file with Amazon has passed and there is nothing they can do. The police are still working on this but based on the value and their workload, I have zero idea on timing for this resolution.

Hello ******,

I'm ******* 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.

I'm sorry to know your package was missing.

After careful review, I see that correct information is already shared. As the deadline for the submission of the Police Report was only up until 11-February-2025. Therefore we aren't able to provide a refund/replacement for this order at this time.

In this case, I'd suggest that you please reach out to bank for options.

Thank you for your understanding.

Complaint: 22952410

I am rejecting this response because I informed AMAZON of this issue on December 14th. The first ******** did NOT provide accurate information when they said I would receive a full refund in 7-10 business days. Due to the holidays, I waited until early January to contact Amazon again to inform them I had not received the refund. The ******** "saw these notes" regarding my call on 12/14/24 but then informed me I would need to file a police report. After working with the Boston PD and the local PD in *******, the report was filed and informed AMAZON of the case file when I received the case record.
All of this takes time BUT I informed AMAZON well in advance of 2/11/2025 of the potential theft by their ********(s) so I will NOT accept that the deadline has passed. AMAZON should be held accountable to their ********s and work with their customers especially when the customer did NOTHING wrong.
Sincerely,

I purchased a litter box from amazon on sale but pieces were missing so I got a replacement ordered. I decided I would just use the original litter box even with missing pieces so I initiated a return for the replacement litter box on January 16th. In email and on the app Amazon told me I had until February 1st to drop off the return which I did. They received the return on the 5th, but then they charged me $79.49 on the same date even though I dropped off the litter box at *** to return in the timeframe given. I talked to customer service on February 6th and they said they would give me a refund in 5-7 days, its been 8 days and it now says refund is expected on the 23rd. I just want a refund they charged me $79.49 when they recieved their item back already and they keep pushing off when I will get my money back.

I purchased iilumi cap for hair growth from Amazon on 5/11/2023 Order date May 11, 2023 Order # ***-9904115-2241832 Company give written warranty if does not work will refund the money .it did not work I contacted them on March 3. 2024 product not working . I was told I should try at least for a year before eligible to refund. As a good customer I tried it more than one year and still no results. Contacted them again Feb 7, 2025 telling still no results. I got the response should have started the refund process with in 30 days of 12 month use . That was very ambiguously written in refund policy and original email response but was deceiving and intention on their part is to make customer fail and miss that small window . I have never seen such a refund policy that says use it exactly 12 months and specifically return with In 30 days after 12 months . I thought I am giving max time to make sure if it does work before return .

In December 2024 we purchased 2 metal sheds from Amazon. We financed them through Affirm., We were notified that they were out for delivery. It was then that we noticed the address defaulted to an address we hadn't lived at in 5 years. I contacted ***-Ex right away. They told me they would try and get a hold of the driver and suggested I contact Amazon and cancel the order. Which I did. When speaking with the Amazon representative he suggested I hang out at their front door or park across the street to see if I could catch the Fed-Ex driver. I told him I wasn't going to do either and he suggested that if I didn't like his suggestions I close my account or I could put my account up my "a**. I closed my account. Then the trouble began. A few days later I received a call from ***-Ex asking where we wanted our sheds delivered to. I told him the order was cancelled. He was going to send them back. Several days later we were notified by ****** that our payment was late. I contacted Amazon and they told me that because I closed my account they couldn't help me. I finally spoke to someone in their "leadership" department, that they had the sheds, just didn't know what to do with them. We agreed they would send them back to the supplier. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago, no contact at all. I called them today and they told me that they couldn't make any changes to a closed account, even though they have the shed and they know we ordered them, I have the order number.They are holding onto $1,100.00 of ours and we are being charged on a loan for something they have in their possession. This has been going on since the middle of December.

Upon reviewing here since the account is in closed state we are unable to proceed and make any actions on the account.

Once you create a new account and reply to this email we will be able to proceed further and add the gift card for the order value.

This is the best possible option available for the refund to be processed for the order

I am rejecting this response because:
There is a digital trail of my order #. I have spoken to 3 "specialists" regarding this issue. The last "specialist" confirmed that the seller had received the products and I should receive an email within 24 hours. That never happened as of today. I have never had these products in my possession. Amazon has had them, Fed-Ex has had them, but I have NEVER had them. I do not want a credit to an Amazon card, I want and need to go to my Affirm account to close it out. It is now affecting my standing with Affirm.

I have repeatedly requested Amazon to provide evidence or clarification regarding these accusations, but I have received no response.This issue has caused severe financial hardship, as I rely on my business with Amazon to support my family.

I am writing to express my strong objection to the way my complaint (ID ********* against Amazon.com has been handled. Amazon has taken extreme and unjust actions against me, without presenting any tangible evidence or valid justification.

Amazon unfairly closed my account, depriving me of my livelihood and putting my family and children at serious financial risk. This decision was made without any proof, without any clear reasoning, and without allowing me the opportunity to defend myself. This is a clear violation of consumer rights and an unethical business practice.

Closing my BBB complaint under the status Answered is absolutely misleading. Amazon has NOT addressed my issue, has NOT responded to my concerns, and has provided ZERO evidence for their actions. I demand that my case be reopened and escalated immediately.

If BBB fails to take action, I will escalate this matter beyond BBB, including:
Filing additional complaints with regulatory authorities such as the ***, the Illinois Attorney General, and consumer protection agencies.
Seeking legal counsel to take further action against Amazon for unlawful account termination.
Publicly exposing this injustice through media channels, social media platforms, and consumer advocacy groups.

I expect a prompt response regarding the reopening and proper handling of my case.

Sincerely,
**** **********
