Amazon has suspended my account, after 20 years of being a customer, and without any information. In the process, they blocked my access to all my digital items (Kindle and Audible books, and videos I purchased). In essence, they took back products I paid for, with no recourse offered. They also took credits I had in the form of both monetary credits and Audible credits.Though they did not inform me of the reason, I suspect (after reading customer reports online) that it's because I returned 6 items (out of dozens ordered) in December. If they warned of a return limit I would have avoided it, of course, but I did not see a problem (items returned were new, and Amazon even allows "Try before you buy" for many relevant products of the categories purchased and returned). Amazon did not issue any warning, just closed my account suddenly, without explanation or way to communicate with them about it. In fact, it appears they even apparently lied to me earlier in the week when I communicated with customer service, saying the issue was because they thought my account was being used by someone else to make purchases. Now customer service essentially says they have no info to give and can do nothing.In any case, it doesn't seem right for them to basically rob me of all the digital products I've purchased from them over the years, not to mention digital credits I had with them, including a whole year's worth of pre-paid Audible credits. Overall, I suspect the cost of the digital merchandise they essentially took back without refund was worth at least a couple of thousand dollars, possibly more. It included hundreds of digital and audio books I'd paid for.I would like them to restore my access to my digital content, at the least, and otherwise refund me for what they took. It doesn't make sense a business can just take products you paid for in this manner. Please please help me, I feel powerless against them.

I ordered a Hiboy S2 ******************** from amazon.com on December 9th, 2023 as a Christmas gift for my son. The seller is Amazon.com Services LLC. Originally, it was supposed to be delivered by December 19th, 2023. However, as the delivery date approached, Amazon indicated that is was delayed and would show up by December 20. I contacted Amazon support on December 19 and they said they were escalating and to check back in 48 hours. I contacted Amazon support again on December 22 as the scooter had still not arrived and there is no longer an expected delivery date. Amazon support indicated that the scooter was lost in transit and it would NEVER be delivered. They said they could issue a refund and I could order a new scooter but it would need to be through a 3rd party seller and would cost $128 more than the price I paid for the scooter. Amazon support also said they could offer a $30 credit to make up for the issue however a) this credit can't be applied to the new order because it is through a 3rd party seller and b) it doesn't cover the cost difference for a replacement order. I escalated to a supervisor who offered a $50 credit, also not applicable to any replacement order I made for the scooter through a 3rd party seller and also not covering the difference in price. This is a bait and switch. I expect the scooter I already ordered to be delivered, even if it is not in time for Christmas. If the order is indeed lost, then Amazon should ship me a replacement of the exact same scooter. Amazon refused to do this.Business Response

Recently I've ordered Apple Airpods on Amazon. After a few minutes, I got an email saying my account has been put on hold and that I would have to send a form of verification for my identity. I submitted a form of the last 4 digits of my debit card. I would get an email 24 hours later. It said this: "We have removed access to this Amazon.ca account and canceled all open orders.We took these actions because our records show that this account is related to another account that was closed by Amazon. You will not be able to access your account, or place any orders. We also advise you not to open more Amazon accounts, because they will be closed automatically.Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we are unable to discuss other accounts with you."I have not had any relations to an account disabled by **********************.

I can't get Amazon to tell me where my box is. I ordered a box of ******** Turkey flavour gravy for my cat and it's STILL not here. This is order number ORDER # ***-4678941-1629019. I was supposed to get it yesterday and Amazon's tracking showed that their driver was in ****** at about 5pm yesterday and was only TWO stops away. He suddenly dropped off the radar and returned to his warehouse, where my package now sits. It left the warehouse yesterday at 8:49am and was sitting in their delivery van ALL DAY.

Complaint: 21047186
I am rejecting this response because:Here is the text of what I just wrote to Amazon's rep that handled this complaint. This is the first message:
Your words are MEANINGLESS and EMPTY.
Why?
Because it's happening AGAIN. This evening your replacement box went missing and so did my cat's crinkle tunnel. Here are the order numbers:
tunnel: 111-1662529-5687465
replacement gravy: 113-7793693-6186627
What's it going to take to get Amazon to do right by me? This evening's delivery was on your GPS as being close by before 7pm. At one point he was 8 stops away, then 5 stops away then two stops away. Then it said i was his next stop...then **** - he literally disappeared off the **** radar, JUST LIKE LAST WEEK.
I have no other explanation for this except theft. Three boxes in a row? Seriously? And you LET your drivers get away with this?
I begged and pleaded with numerous reps last week to fix this and to let me speak with the driver's boss but they refused to listen. "*************************" just told me he won't let me speak with him either.
I demand my boxes and an explanation and the RIGHT to speak with that driver's boss. I am beginning to wonder if tonight's driver is the exact same person that did this to me last week.
I've been transferred all over the place at Amazon in your online chat. First ******, who I spoke to last week. Then *********. And now "*************************." I have no clue if those are real or made up names.
I will stop my Amazon Prime service if your company refuses to honestly address these issues. It would take having ***** himself come to my apartment building with the items I paid for, a dozen roses and a box of chocolates to get me to change my mind
What are you going to do about this latest screwup?
This has to be theft. I can't think of any other reason.
I will report this to the *** and police if need be.
Fix this now. I have RIGHTS.
*****************************"Second message:
P.S. I just cancelled my Prime membership. Why? Because your company has been stealing from me. I want your driver/drivers held accountable and until I get proof that this has happened AND I get my property returned to me, I refuse to buy ANYTHING from Amazon at all.
Understand?
************************* is stalling for time in my online chat and refuses to help. I want him fired too, along with the other reps who don't listen."

I am rejecting this response because:
The reason you dont see the order is because I canceled the order for the 41mm Apple Watch series 9. It was the only gift my daughter wanted so I had to find it somewhere else and it cost me $60 more than it would have at Amazon if you had honored both your price and the delivery date. Not sure how you can make this right but it just showed me that Amazon doesnt really care about its customers at all.

I had purchased two teeth whitening items. They were delivered to me in one package. I went online and started a return for both items as one return. I had an issue where they gave me one return label for each item, one to be returned at *** and one to be returned at whole foods. I called and the man who was helping me sent me new labels and told me to put both items in the same box and return both at the *** store. I did exactly what he told me to do. Amazon returned my money for one item. I called asking for the money for the second item and was told they cannot do anything until January 21, **** which is one month away. Basically what they are telling me is that because their employee told me to do it that way and his information was incorrect that I now have to wait a month and then call back to ask for my money. I returned the item and what is a month going to do except allow them to sit on my money for a month and then in a month I will have to call again to argue with them once again to try to get my money. I want my refund that I am due because the item was returned. I am tired of paying for Prime membership and being treated this way.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
They have access to the records of the order. I attached a photo of it for them. This is exactly what they do is play like they dont see anything but truth is they record the phone calls and make notes on accounts when you call in so they definitely can see all the communication that I have had with them over this item. Two of the exact same items that were shipped to me in one box should be able to be returned in the same box without any issues, it was one order and the return was set up as both items being returned. This is also the first time I have ever been told that I had to box and label the item before dropping off at the *** store which seemed strange. Both items have been sent back and I was given a receipt for one box and that box has both items in it, same item quantity of 2. The last customer service person I spoke with called me a liar on the phone and said I hadnt sent it back. I pay Prime membership and have for years now and to be treated like this is ridiculous. I am currently rethinking my membership as it comes up for renewal soon. I dont pay to be treated this way.
Sincerely,

Its so interesting that after the first time that Amazon responded to the BBB they now keep sending me direct messages instead of responding to the complaint. In these messages they continue to make excuses for why they feel they can hold my money even though the package containing the product was sent back. They gave a refund for one of the two products in the package (they are the exact same product from the exact same original order) but still refuse to refund the second product saying it will be refunded January 21 ****. This is ridiculous and they are taking advantage of people. Using my money to earn interest. They collect $139 a year for what they call Prime membership that is supposed to have advantages but they do things like this to their members. They are sending me direct messages to try to make it look as though they settled the issue when in reality they have done absolutely nothing but make excuses. I wouldnt even think this way had I not called and step by step followed directions from their customer service person when the return was packaged. I think the government needs to get involved and fine Amazon for fraudulent services and practices. I just dropped another return to them at the *** store yesterday and by the time I walked to my car the money was refunded. So why is this other return an issue? Two of the same products that were sent to me in one box returned to them together in the box they arrived in but they only refunded my money for one. Why???? Make this make sense???Customer Answer
