      Amazon has started using their own Amazon Drivers for delivery in ********* where I live. The drivers they hire are unable to complete deliveries. Today I had two packages that were to be delivered by 9 pm. One contained medications I needed. The driver was 2 stops away from my house then the *** on the Amazon site showed he turned around and went across town and stopped without delivering my packages! I am furious. I called Amazon and found out that this driver had 'personal emergency' and walked away from his truck and packages. This is unacceptable. I was able to get one package delivered by another worker but only because it had medications in it. I am not happy at all with the Amazon delivery service and want the *********** to handle all my Amazon purchases. I trust the *********** to have professional people delivering but do not trust Amazon Delivery.

      Hello *****,

      I'm Harasankar 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've reviewed your complaint and checked the order in question. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you had with your recent order.

      Unfortunately we do not have an option to issue a replacement for the order, instead we can issue a full refund for the order.

      Please confirm if we should issue refund for the order to the original payment method.

      Also from your comments I understand that you do not want amazon logistics to ship your packages.

      We would like to investigate further in this matter, we request you to share other order numbers where you've experienced similar inconvenience.

      Once you share the requested information our concerned department will investigate and assist you further.

      We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Complaint: 21118306

      I am rejecting this response because: I emailed this agent earlier in the week with the details see below. He did not read or respond to this email!!!  I want to be assured that Amazon Delivery will NOT deliver to me ever again. They employ criminals. 

      I do not want a refund.  I only want **** to ship my Amazon purchases. I do not want Amazon delivery. Last week a driver delivered another package. He put  on a ski mask like bank robbers wear and hid his face before he got out of the van. He also looked in my car and around my carport for something to steal perhaps. 


      I do not trust Amazon delivery and do not want them at my home. My recent orders since that have arrived via **** and that is how I want delivery from now on.

      Item purchased in Nov 2023. The product description was wrong and the product did not match the model of the Macbook in which the Battery was to be replaced. Immediately ordered a return for the product, it was shipped out within 3 days, and the product was returned to the warehouse by Dec 1. A refund was to be issued by Dec 20th. However it was not done, the seller was unscrupulous and changed status on his end too, and Amazon kept delaying the refund. Finally, on 12.30.23, the CS agent was processing the refund but there was no update still. Escalated to Management, and they said to upload ID due to abnormal activity - which I refuse to do and provide more PII information. As of now, stuck with the $46.61 refund back to the *** gift card and the CS agent also promised another $10 prime gift refund to compensate for the delays. I have all captures of the return state and chat conversations with the Agent as attached. Thanks.

      Hi *****

      After escalating multiple times to their Escalation team, and 3 responses from them along the same lines demanding the ** proof (PII violation) before a refund would be initiated, I finally received an email from a decent executive response about processing the refund, which was posted to my account the next day, after a month of follow-up and struggle with their so-called "abnormal" activity game play for refunds, whereas they are happy to accept more new orders to be placed w/o issues. This is a very unscrupulous method being adopted by Amazon and I believe someone out there is attempting to start a legal action for this same behaviour. Despite asking them for the proof of "abnormal" activity (like ip, login, PC type etc - all the information that would be in their logs) that I could dispute or provide relevant proof, they choose to ignore that request and want consumers to present their ** insecurely (through a 3rd party). Even after that, instead of providing the result of their investigation directly, they want the consumer to call back again to find out the results. This is unacceptable business practice and needs more regulatory oversight, especially, when they have vendors behaving badly too, which they fail to control or weed out. 

      Thanks.

      My amazon account that was under ****************************** was compromised, including my email, leading to unauthorized changes in my credentials and a two-step verification lockout. Despite securing my email, I've encountered challenges in cooperation from Amazon for an investigation. The hacker altered the account email to **************************** but retained my billing address. .. The hacker has all my personal info and continues to use my account with the gift cards that are on my account. The account was created with my email *********************** The Hacker hacked my email so they had the ability to authenticate the 2 step verification to change the email on the account to ****************************. but kept the billing address on file that is mine. I have provided the following orders to show the activity and to prove the email was ****************************** and that the orders were shipped to my address in Bethpage or my daughters address in *******. The order numbers are 113-5185477-0413068 (shipped to Bethpage) and 113-4081046-8385056 (Shipped to *******) and 113-6838972-3401859 (shipped to Bethpage) and 113-1271241-8287412 (shipped to Bethpage). I am asking that they review the orders and account as they will clearly see that the email was changed on the account without my consent. I am asking AMAZON TO REMOVE THE 2 STEP AUTHENTIFICATION AND REVERT MY ACCOUNT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE to my email **********************. . They may contact me via MY EMAIL WHICH IS ********************** or by phone ************.

      I recently purchased the ****** SUN4 48W UV LED Nail Lamp, UV Light for Nails, with 4 Timer Settings, Nail Dryer for Gel Polish with All Gel Types for Home ***********" from Amazon. Upon receiving the package, the outer box appeared undamaged. However, upon opening it, I noticed that the box containing the lamp was slightly damaged. Initially, this wasnt a major concern.However, upon attempting to use the lamp and plugging it in for a functionality test, the lights began flashing irregularly, indicating instability. I've tried twice to contact Amazon customer support regarding this issue. Unfortunately, they have insisted on an ID verification process, which I find unreasonable as I simply wish to return the item and have the balance credited back to my Amazon e-gift card, without disclosing personal information.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address a recent request for my private identification in connection with a refund process. While I understand the importance of security measures, I am uncomfortable providing such sensitive information.

      I appreciate Amazon's commitment to ensuring a secure environment for its customers, and I am confident that alternative solutions can be explored to verify my refund request. I believe it is unnecessary to share private identification details, and I kindly request your assistance in processing my refund without requiring such information.

      I understand the importance of protecting both parties in online transactions, and I am open to any reasonable alternative methods that can assure the validity of my refund request. Your understanding and cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you for your attention to this issue, and I look forward to a resolution that respects privacy while ensuring the integrity of the transaction process.

      I am rejecting this response because: It is now not about the missing packages but how you attempted to strong arm me in dropping the complaint by threatening to close my account if I didn't verify a card fun thing is I paid for this package with a gift card and that card numer is not linked to my account at all I hate bullies and this company has shown they will do whatever it takes to harass customers who complain

      Amazon, please refund my money for the patio set you canceled then charged me for and sent anyways. Please have the patio set picked up from my house free of shipping/ freight charges as it has been taking up a lot of space in my garage for a month now. Nov 27, 2023 I place order #***-6356479-845**** for an Ovios 9 piece patio set. Amazon then cancels my order for suspicious activity, removed everything from this order from my purchase history and empties my cart, deletes my payment method and locks my account until I change the password. I change the password, re-enter my payment method, search for the patio set again and purchase it (order #***-5327828-173****). Nov 28 there are two separate orders for the patio set. Amazon has processed the order that they claimed to have canceled (***-6356479-845****). I call Amazon, and they say they are unable to view order **** because it has been suppressed due to suspicious activity.*** 6th seller has a note that says to not use the label on Amazon's app and that I will have to pay for return shipping.*** 12th I contact support via chat and explain the situation. Theyre unable to view order ****, so they open an A2Z refund req on the other order (#****), and add request that the return be picked up at my home.*** 20th I contact support. They say the refund was approved by A2Z and to be rest assured it's taken care of. *** 21st-Jan 6th I get emails from A2Z saying to return the patio and that Amazon and the seller are not at fault so I will have to pay return shipping. I explain the situation over and over, that Amazon IS AT FAULT because they sent me a patio set that they said THEY CANCELLED. They respond at least 5 times with the same content, Amazon is not at fault, please return. Jan 6th I call an Amazon account specialist. She says she is adding details to A2Z as well exposing how Amazon is at fault. Jan 7th-8th I'm still from the A to Z team totally disregarding my provided details.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have been dealing with the A to Z team for weeks and they send the same email to me, asking me to return the item.  The issue is, I would have to pay the return shipping (roughly $2,100.00), which I will not do because Amazon is at fault for charging me / sending me the patio set they said they cancelled and removed from my cart (which is why the order is suppresed in your system).  The A to Z team either does not conduct a review of my correspondence,  or they just don't care.  Please arrange for the extra patio set to be picked up from my residence (it is still boxed) and issue a full refund.  I have been trying to have this handled / removed from my garage for one month now.  I am tired of providing free storage for Amazon.  

      P.S. this rejection comes now because I only have 7 days to respond, and your A to Z team has **** days to respond to me.  There needs to be an intervention by someone above the A to Z team, as I have said repeatedly, they issue the same response repeatedly (attached).

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 21117901

      I am rejecting this response because:

       I see that one of the patio set orders have been issued a refund. Thank you very much. I need to know if Amazon is arranging for the patio set to be picked up from my home.  Amazon says they're awaiting return of the patio set since they used the refund.   I don't want these claims to close and then my refund gets taken back out for not returning the patio set.  The original issue was the fact that I was being told I was responsible for the return shipping costs, which I should not have to pay since I was not at fault for receiving two patio sets. Please advise as soon as possible so I can accept the BBB action and close the complaint with a positive outcome. See attached for clarity on shipping issue

      Hello,

      We have reviewed the issue filed for the Order 114-6356479-8452201 & 113-5327828-1733023. We noticed that the buyer wished to return 113-5327828-1733023 and receive a refund for the same. Hence, a full refund has been issued to the buyer for the concerned order and it is not required for the buyer to return the item. 

      Please consider the transaction closed.

      Date of transaction(s): 1/07/2024 1/08/2024 Amount of money paid: over $100 Amazon committed to shipping these items to me upon payment, which was already completed using my debit cards. The nature of this dispute is that I am trying to regain access to my Amazon account which has been temporarily disabled. It was locked and is yet to be released to me, but I have made multiple purchases on my account that are urgent in nature, and I have submitted documentation to Amazon proving that the card used for the purchases is in my name. I receieve an automated email from Amazon every time I try to re-establish my account saying that Ive sent an email to an Amazon address that doesnt accept emails. Amazon will not ship or deliver any packages I have already paid for until the account is unlocked. Account order numbers: ***-8467508-2571426 Order #***-1213555-3985023 Order #***-7606866-8253027 The above order numbers are only three of them, but there are more. Thank you.
