I ordered a set of flannel sheets and they were damaged/flawed. I asked for a replacement set. The representative said they could only issue a return. I needed the sheets for some guest coming that weekend. They said I had until February 1 to return the damaged sheets. They even told me to use the sheets and then send back. I wasn't comfortable with that. So, I spent another $49.99 on the same pair of sheets to get to my house by the weekend. I got the new pair of sheets and called Amazon again to do the return on the damaged sheets. I paid with an Amazon gift card so the return would go on my Amazon account as a gift card. They refused to give me a refund unless I sent a form of government ** to the third party link they sent me. When I questioned it, they said because there was abnormal activity on my account. I asked what abnormal activity and they said they can't tell me unless I send a form of government **. This sounds very suspicious. I said I am not sending you a form of **. It has never been required before and in this case, you sent me a pair of damaged sheets. I spoke to 4 different representatives and they all hung up on me. I then got 2 emails from Amazon saying they received my **, which I never sent them and to call after December 18th and they could tell me what the abnormal activity is. I called on December 20th and this representative said its NOT abnormal activity on MY account and they require the ** because of so many returns GLOBALY, so they are requiring it from everyone. I explained again, that this isn't a return because I didn't want them, it was a return because they sent me a damaged set of sheets and I bought a new set from them to replace. This isn't my fault. They still are refusing to give me a refund unless I send an **. I want my money back in the form I paid for the sheets, which is an Amazon gift card. I shouldn't be out $49.99 because AMAZON sent me a damaged set of sheets.

Complaint: 21038025

I am rejecting this response because:
That is the problem. I do not feel comfortable, nor should I have to send a form of ID through a third party link. I have never been asked to show ID for a return. With all the scams and people being hacked, we do not feel comfortable. When you return something in a store, ID is not required if you have a receipt. There is a receipt for this purchase and all purchases from Amazon. They have never required a ID for a return and it is not necessary. There is information on an ID that is not needed for them.
In this situation with Amazon, they sent me a damaged product. I payed $49.99 and they sent me a damage product. There should be no questions asked or ID required. They should not be able to keep my money when they sent me a damaged item. I also used an Amazon Gift Card for this purchase, so all that is needed is to put the $49.99 back on a gift card on my account. They told me I needed to prove who I am. Other companies send you a text with a code, this is what they should be doing. Asking people for their ID is invasive.

Sincerely,

I ordered 2 items in Order# ***-5485239-8781018, returned them via **** unused, and they arrived at Amazon safely. After not receiving my refund for almost a month, I reached out to Amazon. They admitted that they received the return to their fulfillment center and will not refund me until I upload an ID, without any adequate explanation on why they need an ID. There is no reason that they should be withholding my refund for almost a month now. I do not feel comfortable uploading my ID, especially since I was able to create my account with an ID. It is apparent that this is a common complaint with Amazon that many are unhappy with.Amazon is now in possession of my money and their product. I feel cheated out of my money because I do not have any product in my possession. I need my refund as soon as possible.I was told on 12/19/23 via customer service chat (I have the chat saved as proof) that my return was received and they are submitting a refund of $52.36. Although this is the resolution I prefer, I did not trust that Amazon will actually refund me so I checked on the refund status on 12/20/23. I was then told by another customer service agent that I need to submit an ID and received an email shortly after saying the same. It seems as if I will never be refunded for this simple return.This is very unreasonable and feels arbitrary. Their customer service is very unorganized and confusing. After reading dozens of complaints from customers who have experienced the exact same hardships, I am hoping to get this resolved quickly without any more energy put forth from me since I did everything I needed to do.

I placed an order on 12/12/23 for a desk chair and paid $129.99 (order number 113-4499076-9245020). The item arrived defective - any weight on the armrests causes the chair to tip forward. On 12/20 I attempted to start the return process as the chair is of no use to me in its condition. I reached out to Amazon customer service directly to see what the process is for returning a large item, as it would be difficult to just throw in a box. I was informed that I would not be able to continue through the return process unless I gave them a government-issued identity document, due to abnormal activity on my account. I spoke to 4+ different associates and none of them were able to tell me what the abnormal activity was, or what my identity document would be compared against - uploading such a document isnt required upon registration, so what do they have to look for? To my knowledge this request is not a part of their return/refund policy. Furthermore, I was also informed that I would not, at any point in the future, be able to complete a return/refund unless I upload the ** document. I expressed my discomfort in sending private information to them, especially as I wasnt able to get any insight as to who actually views the document, and there were no attempts to provide clarity or alternative solutions. I do not feel that they have tried to resolve the problem, though they have inappropriately sent me four separate emails requesting for my ** at this point. They also sent me an email that appears to be intended for the supplier of another, completely unrelated item that I ordered yesterday, so clearly there are issues with their customer service team and/or internal systems.

I purchased an item in early November from Amazon. The item was delivered. However, the product was not the item that was advertised. It was totally different. I contacted Amazon and they said that they would refund the item. However, the seller decided not to refund the money until I send my ID to them. They also said after sending my ID they will have to make an investigation before they consider refunding the money. I am not sure why they wanted my ID before I am refunded. I contacted Amazon again to confirm that I had to send an ID I was told by the representative that that request had expired so she called the company again and they approved another refund. This time they said I should send the item back at my expense and they will refund the money which is $62. I paid $14 (which they say they would also refund) to send the item back now they have the item in their position and I still have not received my refund I contacted Amazon today December 20, and theyre telling me again that I have to send my ID to them; upload a copy of my ID to them before they can refund the money. So now they have the money, they have the item I paid the Delivery fee to send it back to them and I still am not eligible to get my money back. **** in mind they never asked me for an ID when I was purchasing the item and given them my money but now they want an ID to give me back my money and they have the item. I need help with this because I feel violated and very helpless. Thank you .

Good day
i have sent my ID as requested twice on 12/20 and 12/23. I contacted Amazon today to follow up on my refund. I still have not received it and was told that now I need to send the return receipt even though they see where the seller received the item
One of the representatives I spoke to today told me when I asked the reason for sending the receipt even though they see where the seller received the item December 11, and I am the one who gave them the tracking number. She told me because Im a scammer and hung up
claim still not resolved. Sending receipt to them even though I am a scammer

I have made MAJOR issues with Amazon and their lack of customer service, I have lost money having to pay people to go pick up my messages because the Amazon drivers dont deliver my packages to the proper place and packages also get stolen, I was told to file a police report for an item that wasnt even stolen but delivered to the wrong place by amazon drivers, I have spent over $300 having to pay people to go get my packages from mail rooms there arent accessible to me as someone with limited mobility NOW I purchased a wig that I was supposed to have installed for Thanksgiving and couldnt have it done at that time so I went to have it installed from Christmas and the wig is NOT human hair and I am being given the hardest time to exchange this wig. I can clearly tell that my account with ********************** is flagged or something and I have no idea why when Amazon is the one that doesnt follow instructions, I would like to have this wig replaced as it isnt my fault I was sent a synethic wig.

To help with the case I just wanted to include the order # 111-0394900-7896215 . Also I wanted to note that the whole thing with the return I feel like they are making things up now. They are stating that they received a different item but wont send pictures to me or send the package back to see what they are talking about. They keep saying to send the speaker back I don't understand what is going on. First they told me to "rest assured" and after the *************************************************************************************************************** and now the whole thing with the other item. At this point I feel like the package got lost somewhere or they mixed something on their end. I don't even know what to think any longer but they are refusing to refund me or send the item back to see what the issue is. Also they said I think that the old item has been discharged so now there is no evidence of what they are claiming. This is crazy

If they were to investigate my account this could be corrected and resolved, however they have not made an effort to correct their errors. If this is not resolved soon, I will move this forward with my documented complaint to the Washington State Attorney General **************************** for investigation. I have hoped to avoid further escalation to correct and cover the product and warranty that I paid for in full, on October 25, 2022. Amazon.com order number: 111-1130313-0846607.

Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because: On January 4 2023, the amazon account that I held was put on pause and not closed. Furthermore, the account with ********************** is currently active. It is still accessible and the information that was stored on Amazons servers was lost by Amazon. The extended warranty that was purchased through Amazon on their website. When my account was paused ********************** lost all information regarding the purchase and therefore triggered a deletion in which Asurion denies a warranty was purchased. Amazon's has been provided a .pdf receipt of the purchase as attached. Other receipts of purchases are also lost and unavailable on their site. The account with ********************** is currently active.

Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon customer service refuses to take action to resolve this complaint and have deleted files of my customer records and the account as of today was un-paused and is still active. Amazon sold the ** Laptop Computer and the Asurion contracted extended warranty from their website. Amazon and Asurion failed to stand behind the products they sold to me and possibly other customers. The documentation provided and their response of the sale obviously and legally proves that they acknowledge their negligence in this matter. I am requesting some of the information in this complaint to remain public and on file. I will move my complaint forward through legal channels to resolve this complaint.

Sincerely,

I purchased an item from Amazon and decided to return it. Upon sending it back, they notified me that to receive my refund I would have to submit a photo verification of my ID due to "abnormal activity" on my account. I have only made three orders, and this was my first time returning anything. There isn't any abnormal activity.I did not feel comfortable sending this sensitive information to Amazon, and certainly not over the internet. I therefore requested that they send the item back to me in lieu of a refund. This too, they refused. So now they have my $160, and the item I paid for, and they're refusing to send back EITHER of them without a photo of my driver's license. This is theft. After looking into it, I found many similar stories and I believe this is a completely fraudulent and unethical practice. Amazon must refund me for my purchase, as the item has now been in their possession for over 2 weeks. I have attempted to speak to customer support both over the phone and online several times, and they just keep repeating the same answer.

I am rejecting this response because:

1. I feel that requiring a photo of my ID is an absurd request. If there was truly some abnormal activity on my account then why am I able to make purchases?

2. I uploaded my ID begrudgingly one week ago today. It has now been 5 business days. I was told it would take UP TO 3 business days.

Better Business Bureau:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

I have been refunded. However the fact that I even had to go through all of this is extremely frustrating. Amazon needs to ******* their new return policies as there are many other complaints recently about the same thing.
