They received my return almost 4 weeks ago and have still not refunded me. The funny part about this is there were 2 items in this return box, 1 item was refunded right away the other has still not been refunded. I wish they would stop play games with people's hard earned money.Tracking # 1Z6E55409068607090 ORDER # ***-8919585-9382659 Item name WD_Black 1TB C50 Expansion Card, Officially Licensed for Xbox - Quick Resume - *********** with Series X|S - WDBMPH0010BNC-WCSN

My name is Vonedward ****** and on or a Dec 4th 2023 I placed an order for a ******* Galaxy Tab S8+ on a monthly payment plan of $120 a month, the order number is ORDER # ***-8501494-4372268. I was not happy with the item so I requested a refund on Dec 7th, I made a mistake and select the option that says "Received extra item I didn't buy" so I canceled the return request and crated a new return request. I then called the Amazon ***** number and told the agent that I had made a mistake when requesting a refund and that the Item I'm sending back is NOT an extra item. The customer service agent told me to make a third return return request and to select "inaccurate website description" for the reason for my return and to give the item to the first *** driver that comes too my door. I gave the package to *** on Dec 7th and I received the tracking number #***************** from ***. I then called Amazon customer service again and gave them the *** Tracking number and I was told that my refund would be processed once the Item was inspected at the amazon return center. On Dec 28th I was sent a email from Amazon that says the fallowing "We have accepted your return request. As this item was sent to you in addition to the original order by mistake, we'll not issue a refund for this return. Thank you for returning the item." I have uploaded this email as a supporting document to this BBB complaint. In summery the Item returned to Amazon was NOT an extra Item! An mistake was made when selecting the reason for the return and I do not have the Item I paid $183 for and I'm facing monthly charge $120 for this same item. I returned the Item on Dec 7th please process my refund or I will file a law suite for financial and emotional damage. I've done everything I can to resolve this issue, at this point Amazon is stealing from me.

I have been having an issue with Amazon not delivering my package to my doorstep. I was told that my package was delivered, but the photo in the email I received is not my apartment. Amazon was contacted about this and said they would look into this. However, the Amazon delivery drivers need to deliver my packages to the correct address. I cannot get an answer from Amazon as to where is my actual package because it is not at my door.This has happened multiple times in recent months and needs to stop.

I ordered from Amazon.com and received a damaged product on December 13, 2023, as follows:Order# ***-5677506-9173068 Item BetterBody Foods Organic Coconut Palm Sugar $7.44 Upon receiving it, I found the item completely damaged in the package leaving a total mess (this is sugar) and contacted Amazon customer service. The item was very poorly packaged without adequate cushioning / bubble wrap.At this time and in order to receive a replacement, Amazon instructed me to upload a copy of my license into a portal which they emailed to me. I did so.Having received no replacement or refund as of 12/22/23, I again reached out to Amazon customer service by replying to their previous email. They provided no response.I followed up again on 12/29/23 having received no response. On 12/30/23 I received a reply stating that I need to provide a photo of the damaged product.Having received the damaged product 17 days ago, and it being a food item (sugar) that was a completely unusable mess, I discarded it. I was never informed it needed to be photographed until 17 days from the date I initially contacted them.They now refuse to refund or replace the item.

Please transfer my issue to the appropriate team and ask them to review my documents

I purchased a Zooba 50 elevated outdoor dog bed as a Christmas present for my son, on October 8, 2023, order 113-4582812-1375414. When my son opened it to assemble it, December 29th, parts were missing. I contacted Amazon who could do nothing to resolve this issue as it was past their 60 day return window. After explaining I didnt open the box due to it being a present, no resolution still. In my book, thats stealing. I have a product that cannot be used because the major piece is missing that supports the frame. Therefore, its useless. Their return policy is not appropriate, especially when the item is brand new. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and they simply did not care. Keep in mind, I had just received a Legendary Whitetail flannel jacket from Amazon that same day in which there was absolutely no packaging. It arrived in the clear cellophane from the vendor with a shipping label stuck on the front of it. They have contracts with vendors, yet they will not compensate for the dog bed, send the missing parts, pay for a return shipping label, absolutely nothing. Now I have to pay to dispose of the item because its useless. Amazon does not and will not consider the situation or understand the holiday season does warrant exceptions when ordering a product versus when its opened. I shouldnt have to inspect everything that is ordered if they stood by their guarantee. Again, streaming from consumers. The supervisor I spoke to gave me an email address that I could send photos to and it simply bounced back that it was not a legitimate email address by Amazon. Buy somewhere local because big companies like Amazon do not care about their customers. Bottom line, its all about profit and they will not accept taking any losses. They have contracts, they need to use them properly! I reordered the item because maybe if I receive two half shipments, it will make one whole!! I felt I had no choice as it was a gift.

To Whom It May ********** account has been suspended after a failed verification call that lasted 5 minutes. The reason seems to revolve around who attended the call.NCMA *** is a partnership with equal ownership between ************************* and ***********************. I, ******,registered the Seller Central account. I was unavailable to take the call at the time Amazon offered. It should have been no problem for my business partner, ****, to conduct the call.Instead, the individual attending the call asked for Marks ID and then closed the meeting. We were under the assumption that all our business documents would be reviewed to verify our business but that didnt happen. If they had, they would have seen **** as a full partner and authorized to meet with Amazon.After the call, we received the message we were unable to verify your identity and the documents you provided via video call and our account was suspended. What documents, Marks ID? How can they verify documents they didnt even ask for?Ive contacted Amazon several times to provide proof that both of us own the business and request a new call that both **** and I will attend. My requests have gone unanswered. Even a call to Amazons Account Health Support team resulted in being informed I am not allowed another meeting and I am out of luck.This makes no sense. Does Amazon have any oversight of these video calls or is this one 5-minute conversation the end all be all of Amazons ability to verify identity?************************* NCMA *** Merchant Token: A206UJ3URHPX7E
