      I am rejecting this response because: there is zero reason to request any personal information of mine. I sent back my item and you are refusing to give me my money back. Which is illegal! I will not be sending any of my personal information to anymore.

      Ordered Naturalizer Womens **** Ankle Strap Block Heel Dress Sandal through amazon. ORDER # ***-5755343-2578600.Returned and dropped off item at *** with tracking/reference number DvHJSdyRRMA or 1Z9E5W529025070477 (dropped off 2 items at the same time) on November 29th. Other item returned to amazon on same day was already refunded December 6th. Messaged Amazon of the progress of the return, only to be told I need to scan Driver's license identification to proceed with return. Was not comfortable giving such private information, but proceeded to give information so they could progress with return. Waited 3 business days as mentioned in their email for the return to happen/progress to move forward. Message Amazon again Dec 21st only to be told they have not found or received my item yet."Once the carrier receives your return package, it can take a while to arrive at our *************** In most situations, returns are processed by Amazon in 30 days. In some situations, it may take longer. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item."I do not appreciate this shady business practice of asking for private personal ID when they actually have not found my returned my returned item in their warehouse yet.At this point, I would just want to be refunded my amount, for it will be almost one month and I have already given proof of identification to proceed with the return.

      I returned an item work $150 to Whole Foods in Downtown *****. When I returned the item, the machine jammed, but the Whole Foods associate told me that the return was fine and if it didn't go through to follow up with Amazon ***************** When my item was not verified, they told me to wait 6-8 weeks for the refund to process. after 8 times following up, Amazon is now telling me they will not refund me the money. Essentially they have stolen $150 from me and kept the item and will not process my refund. I have called additional service agents and each are now telling me that since it's been more than 30 days I cannot return the item (even though they initially had told me to wait 6-8).

      I've reviewed the details of the order and the correspondence provided by our support team. The information provided by our support team is correct.

      Since this item wasn't scanned by the carrier, and more than 30 days have passed, we're unable to issue a refund or assist further.

      In this case, we recommend that you reach out to the Wholefoods store that you used to return the item to Amazon.

      I understand that Amazons machine did not register the item when I returned it, however, I am attaching screenshots in which I spoke to Amazon **************** about this incident right when it happened. The customer service rep told me it would be resolved, but that I should wait a few weeks to let the return process, which I did. I did this at Amazons recommendation multiple times and now they are saying its been more than 30 days and they cannot resolve the issue. Essentially, Amazon has accepted my returned item (whether they processed it or not) and is refusing to give me a refund for it, without providing any additional avenue for recourse. I followed Amazons directions and they are still penalizing me for their error. The information provided by their support team is not correct, and the support team has refused to investigate the matter any further.

      Ordered November 4 and received November 5 2023. And they received the item on the 10th of November.Payed amount ****** I received an empty packet for the item I bought and told them so. They have been tossing me around for over a month now. Asking me to send pictures of my ID three times only for them to say it is blurry. I don't know why they are asking for my ID and I didn't feel comfortable providing it. They said my account has suspicious activity. They claimed the refund has been issued which was a lie. I have been emailing them and it has not been useful. They are pulling my leg at this point. And I am done dealing with them. This is how they treat their prime members. Their service is absolutely horrible.

      I purchased Centrum Vitamins from Amazon. The item was said to be new. However, the item that I received was expired. Obviously, a customer does not normally wish to purchase expired vitamins. When I contacted Amazon and requested that they either send me vitamins which had not expired or refund my money, they refused to do so. I have reached out to them on numerous occasions, and spent considerable time attempting to resolve this matter which was no fault of my own. They sent me an EXPIRED PRODUCT. I did nothing wrong. I have spent hours of my time calling and emailing just to be caught in a circle of ineptitude on the part of Amazon staff. The order # is #***-005-7098-068-5032.

      ?Actually, I suggest that YOU review the NUMEROUS emails exchanged regarding this matter, which should have been rectified more than a week ago.

      I AM A LONG TIME CUSTOMER WHO HAS PURCHASED HUNDREDS OF ****S FROM AMAZON OVER MANY YEARS.  IN ****, I HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN THIRTY ****S FROM YOU THE PAST THREE MONTHS ALONE. 

      THIS **** THAT YOU SENT ME IS EXPIRED.  

      I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN NOTIFY YOU OF THE ISSUE.

      DO YOU DOUBT THE **** THAT THE **** IS EXPIRED???   IF SO, I CAN SEND IT BACK TO YOU AND YOU CAN EXAMINE IT YOURSELF.

      I ALREADY SENT YOU A PHOTO OF THE ****, SHOWING THAT IT IS EXPIRED.  DO YOU DOUBT THE LEGITIMACY OF SAME????  DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT I WOULD SPEND HOURS AND HOURS OF MY TIME AND ALSO INVOLVE THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OVER A CONTAINER OF EXPIRED CENTRUM VITAMINS COSTING $14.70 IF THEY WERE NOT EXPIRED???

      I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO IN COUNTLESS CIRCLES WITH NUMEROUS CUSTOMER SERVICE EMPLOYEES TO MERELY GET AN UNEXPIRED REPLACEMENT **** OR MY MONEY REFUNDED.

      And, I am not going jump through more hoops and upload my ID to a website, compromising my privacy and putting myself at risk for identity theft, in order to merely receive a replacement or refund of an expired item that you sent me, nor should I have to do so.  I did nothing wrong here.  Please replace the expired vitamins or refund my money, without further delay.

      I am a long time Amazon customer who has purchased hundreds of items from Amazon over the years, including 25 orders, totaling more than 35 items, in the past three months alone.

      There have been a couple issues with a couple items but nothing out of the ordinary and the vast majority I kept.

      In early December, I purchased a package of Centrum Vitamins from Amazon, among other things in that order.  The listing in question, for the vitamins, was for a new, unexpired item.  I paid full price, and I have my receipt.  

      When I received the item on December 16th, I noticed that the expiration date on the package had passed and that it was expired.  This surprised me as the listing was for a new unexpired item.  I contacted Amazon and expected an apology and quick resolution of the matter.  All I sought was an un-expired replacement item or refund. 

      Instead,I have been subjected to an endless string of nearly ************************************************************* ignorance of the situation, some no-reply, some from Amazon employees who think that ******************* is still CEO of Amazon (he left years ago), harassing me by making various and changing demands of me, just to refund or replace the expired vitamins, as well as unsupported insinuations which they have continually failed to explain, such as something unusual on my account.  Obviously, if there were something unusual concerning my account, I have a right to know what it is.   

      It seems that the only thing unusual is the fact that Amazon has failed to provide even basic customer service in assisting a customer who they sold an expired item to.

      The initial representative that I spoke with said all I had to do was send a photo of the expired item and I would be refunded.  Although I dont think that extra work on my part was warranted, as I did nothing wrong here, I complied and I did what was asked, on December 16th.

      Then I was told that I needed to send a photo of the item along with a photo of a handwritten and signed note from me.  This seemed highly unusual and I have never had a retailer make such a request, but again, I complied.  

      Then,many emails later, they claimed that I would need to upload my ID to a website to merely have them rectify the situation with the expired vitamins that they sold me.  That is ridiculous.  

      I **** the line at that point, having been the victim of identity theft in the past,and not feeling comfortable uploading personal protected information to a website, in addition to the fact that I should not have to do so, just to have them refund or replace the expired vitamins that they sold me.  Therefore, I contacted the BBB, which has lead to more nonsensical, grammatically incorrect, and no-reply emails from numerous different representatives at Amazon.  None seemingly bothering to read the replies that I have written.  

      As I type this, it is now Christmas Eve.  Amazon has caused me to spend countless hours of my time, interfering with my holiday, just to attempt to get them to rectify a situation that they created by selling me an expired product.

      This has got to be the epitome of poor customer service.

      Amazon has a new illegal policy where they're requiring customers to upload IDs in order to receive refunds for damamged orders. It's truly outrageous and a violation of my privacy rights. For Order # ***-3277987-4761849, the large heavy package of cat food arrived damaged, the food was spilling out. I contacted Amazon to resolve the issue and offered to return the item, they said I did not need to but I need to upload my ID to receive refund. Please assist in retrieving a refund for this order in the amount of $43.53. If they want me to return it I can with provided Amazon label, but when I spoke to an Amazon rep who confirmed with the attached picture that it arrived damaged, they said I did not need to return. The item is currently sitting in a closet unused and I plan to discard if instructed to do so. Thank you for all your help BBB!

      Please see the attach complaint against *** in there role to this complaint with Amazon as *** is the Carrier who was suppose to deliver the package.

      I just found out that the package has been lost by *******. I think *** should have to replace the item I mentioend and still do the job that Amazon has paid them to do and deliver the package to me at the location on the attached invoice.

      I am not accepting anything less as this has runied my christmas holiday. Thanks in advance.

      Hello,

      I am Mahendra 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.

      Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the order #***-4006437-8498660 regarding item getting delayed and to be delivered.

      I'm sorry that the item not delivered on the given delivery date. However, considering the item is lost the refund of $66.14 is processed on Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 8:12 AM (PST) to your original payment method.

      You'll receive the refund within 3-5 business days and regarding the item as the item is not delivered to you  we can consider it as lost.

      Even if the item delivered late you need to return as the refund for the item is processed.
       
      We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Regards,

      Complaint: 21047749

      I am rejecting this response because: After not getting the pacakge delivered on 19th of Decemeber I called amazon spoke with a customser service representative and was re-assured/basically promise it would be delivered on the 20th of Decemeber. On the 20th it did not get deliveried so I called again and was re-assured/basically promise it would be deliveried on the 21st fo December. On the 21st it was not delivered so I called again and was then told that *** truck was broke down and package was delayed. and  was re-assured/basically promise it would be delivered on the 22nd of December.

       

      Amazon and *** have runied my Christmas and also affected my being able to take a proctored exam for a course in my Masters degree program at ****************************.

      An refund and a apology for the inconvince is just not going to be good enough nor acceptable.

      Amazon can affrod to send me the item and refund me (I not be charge for the item). *** should be charge for the item and *** should deliver the item to the Aamzon locker (on the the invoice) and I get email notication when I can picked item.

      This is fair and the only solution that this Air Force Veteran will accept from Amazon and ***.  I servered 6 years in the US Air Force. Amazon and *** can do me a serivice by accomadting my request.

      We all do some type of service that makes up what is known as soicety. Thanks in advance.

      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. Amazon account: ****************** phone: ************

      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.
