I have returned a few items Ive purchased from Amazon and am still waiting for a refund when I contact them theyre trying to make me jump through hoops to get a refund Im done being nice I ordered a gently used highchair and They sent me a garbage so I sent it back and requested a refund for order number 111-8370397-7482637 and now it says they lost the returnBusiness Response

Hello *******************************,
I am ******* from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
I've reviewed your issue regarding the refund for the refund from order #***-8370397-7482637.
Upon reviewing I can see that our specialist team have already done an investigation on this order for the high chair and they stated that you returned a different item from the expected return item. They also confirmed the weight of the returned item as below:
The package status shows ****** LBS for the item ****** LBS. Item weight is **** kg on ASIN page, which is ***** LBS; returned item+ box is ***** LBS, the box is P5 which is 3.2 LBS, thus the item weight is ***** LBS. Returned item is about 3.5 LBS heavier than the ordered item.
It looks like you may have mistakenly returned a Kids2 highchair in used/damaged condition instead of expected item in your return.
Per Amazon's return policy, we disposed the incorrectly returned item and can't return it to you. Amazon doesn't store mistakenly sent items, and no compensation is provided for incorrect items sent to Amazon.
However, we won't be able to provide any further information apart from this.
I hope this helps! Have a great week ahead!Regards,

I have three (3) separate Amazon orders, which were all 1 dress each, that I returned, tags still attached and in original packaging, to an amazon return location in ********, ** on 12/16/2023. Reason for the return was they did not fit. I received a return received confirmation email for each item. On 1/7/2024, I contacted amazon customer service asking when I would receive my refunds for the 3 confirmed returned items. Amazon then said I need to submit a copy of my drivers license in order to get my refund, and if I do not comply, will not receive my refunds although it is confirmed I returned them to an amazon return location. I do not feel comfortable sharing all of the information on my drivers license (or any other identification form) with amazon. They are wrongfully withholding my refunds and threatening to keep my funds unless I share private personal information that they do not need.

I had several items that were supposed to be delivered 01/07/23. One of these Amazon packages was put in my mailbox and whoever dropped it off left my actual **** mail on the ground. Another order order says delivery attempted. And the last one was left on my doorstep. When I called customer service to find out what would stop someone from delivering my package when things have bee left overnight on my doorstep, nobody was any help at all. Made the call at 4:56 est, and I was put on hold for over twenty minutes with no explanation. Then I was transfered to another agent who said, " the call was incorrectly transfered and I need to call back." He promptly disconnected after that. I want to know what the issue with my delivery was and why Amazon is leaving things so haphazardly in my mailbox. I delivered for a dsp part time a few years ago, was not allowed to do thatBusiness Response

Good morning to Amazon and the BBB I've been replying to multiple correspondents from Amazon advising I do not have a Prime account as I advised I'm still waiting for my Chase credit card which I opened with Amazon to send me a copy I confirm with them that I did pay for prime in 2023 I'm also now attaching a copy of the shipping label that I paid for using my Prime with Amazon and that credit card that I'm unable to send back by January 31st because I no longer had that active account this is also a way that Amazon can track to see that I do have a Prime account currently in existence since the last email was sent to me they said they couldn't find anything using either of my telephone numbers which again I responded to that is untrue when speaking to an Amazon customer service representative they were able to locate the account however could not advise me of any information because of no existing email which is the entire reason that I had to file this complaint the email was never listed on the account I always use the telephone number please see the attached.

I've reviewed your reply and checked the attachment you've shared. I was able to find the charge on another customers account but, for security purposes, I am unable to share the details with you.
If you still do not recognize this charge, please dispute the charge with your bank.
To avoid any additional unauthorized charges, I also recommend asking your bank about the possibility of having the card reissued.

Good morning, again I'm showing proof of an Amazon prime account from February 2023 to 2024 and from May 2023 I was unable to use due to an Amazon representative advising me to delete my account/app and re-install because app was not accepting either or my emails, here is a copy of my Amazon prime cc showing a purchase that I made to my address at this time I'm currently no longer a prime member because the membership has expired. I'm asking for a full refund because of me having so many issues with this account and trying to resolve this for several months. As you can see this order was with my prime number!

I had returned a product to Amazon and after waiting for my refund I messaged Amazon support. The support staff replied saying that I needed to submit a form of ID to verify my identity in order to get my refund. I feel this is a gross invasion of privacy to require ID for a return when this has never been asked of me in the past. Amazon already has the returned item. It's grossly unprofessional of them to keep both the returned item as well as my money like it's a hostage unless I give them personal information I feel is unnecessary. After filing a charge back with my credit card company, Amazon then emails me saying that they will charge the card on file for my account to recoup the money taken for the charge back, which makes no sense to me because they have the item I returned in their possession. At this point how can they expect me to be ok with them charging my card again for a product I have returned and they have received. When I explained this to them in an email they basically said they would continue with the charging of my card anyway and now I'm here to issue a complaint because I feel that at this point their behavior is becoming predatory for my personal information.Business Response

On Nov 23, 2023 I ordered theOCOOPA Magnetic Rechargeable Hand Warmers 2 Pack (Order# ***-9808970-3213026)Upon receiving it defective, I used the Amazon form to place a re-order.That reorder never shipped from the manufacturer.On Nov 29, 2023 I spoke to Amazon about the issue of not getting the replacement order.The Amazon agent stated that I would get a full refund of the originalorder which I did, AND she said that Amazon would place a replacement order at no charge to me which she did.That replacement order wasOrder#***-0865319-5165026.The Amazon order status for that replacement order currently says that it was "Likely delivered December 8".December 8, 2023 has come and gone, without receiving the order..On Jan 6, 2023 I notified Amazon that theorder was never received.Amazon notified me, upon their checking, that the order was indeed lost !I asked them to again place a replacementorder (as they committed to) and they refused to, on the grounds that they already tried to do a replacement order. I asked the supervisor if she could see that I never received the replacement order. She concurred but stated that there was nothing that she could do to get me the replacement order. She rudely saidI would need to contact the shipper myself. Because the item comes from *****, there was no shipping info attached to the order. I asked her for the shipping info then. She said she could not give it to me. I asked her why she told me that I should contact the shipper if she could not give me the info. She hung up the phone on me.On principle, I am asking Amazon to just replace the order that I never received (since they originally committed to do that) and to stop telling me that there is nothing that they can do to rectify the situation.Business Response

I had a very disappointing call with a supervisor named "****" at Amazon today 7 January **** at 13:42 I spend over 20K a year on Amazon with ******************** 2023 alone. I only use Amazon for what WAS ease of use. Amazon was the easiest to buy from until a few weeks ago where website problems, tax exemption update problems and delivery problems are becoming way too difficult to deal with. I am ready to walk away.In the last week I have spent over 4 hours with problems caused by Amazon from problems uploading and updating my current ***** tax exemption certificate and shipping issues when Amazon uses ****.I told **** if Amazon could not update my ***** Agriculture Exemption today, I ask that Amazon cover the tax that would be charged to me for placing the order on Amazon which was $5.79 or I would just buy what I need from **** who has no trouble updating my Tax exemption details correctly without waiting.**** became very snotty and said "we have given you promotions on your account before". Last week I was ready to pull my entire Amazon account because ********************** wants to use **** for shipping even as **** continues to lose and delay packages. The agent offered me a promotion that I never asked for to try to save my business, I never asked for it.**** should spend less time worrying about how much promotional credit Amazon hands out to compensate for their frequent and increasing problems and more time fixing customer issues in order to keep customers.I can buy anywhere and going forward I will buy where the company does not use ****, updates my tax certificates without problems or delays and where if the company has problems that impact me negatively are willing to correct the problem and compensate me for my time.The customer service at ********************** is becoming a deal breaker for me. I can spend my 20K a year elsewhere and get lower prices, better shipping and better customer service.Business Response

My Amazon Astro robot stopped working after a software update. It was stuck on a screen that stated to contact customer service. I did contact customer service and was advised to try doing a full reset of the device. The device still showed the same error message after a full reset. Then customer service offered to send me a replacement. I accepted this offer. The replacement never showed up, so after a few weeks, I contacted customer service again. At this time, I was told that they could not order a replacement for ********* robot and I could only send it in for a return. I did this and return was delivered to Amazon by *** on 12/15/23. To date, I still have not received a refund. Additionally, the refund amount is showing only ****** instead of the full amount of ******* because of a restocking fee that I was not told I would be charged when I agreed to the return. I would not have sent it back if I had known I wouldn't get a full refund.I have requested the full refund from Amazon via chat and phone support from at least 10 customer service reps over multiple dates since ********* Robot was received back to Amazon on 12/15/23.Order Placed: February 21, 2023 Amazon.com order number: 111-1423433-6662610 Order Total: $1,059.99Business Response
