      Since April 2023, I have had multiple issues with my Amazon purchases. On several occasions as a Prime member, I have ordered same day delivery that are completely late or lost. The app tells you that the item will be delivered by a particular date and Amazon does a bait and switch and changes the date that the item will arrive upon payment. In addition, I have expressed to Amazon on multiple occasions that I am disabled and unable to carry heavy items from my apartment's mailroom to my unit as they are in two different buildings. My items are being left in the mail room despite delivery instructions to leave at front door.There have been several times that the Amazon drivers don't follow the directions in the mailroom so I can't even access my own purchases because they didn't even scan it in the system. There have been times where they have left it outside of the mail room where anyone can get the packages. The most recent instance of inconvenience is ordering an item on 11/27. I ordered a black and gold dresser. On December 3rd, a white dresser was delivered to my mailroom. It was a struggle to even get the box taken to my apartment just to see that it is the wrong item. I called Amazon and they sent a replacement and offered me a refund. Upon receiving the replacement the item and packaging arrived broken. I called Amazon again to have the item replaced and they told me that they are unable to replace the item and that I should return the item. I cannot carry these packages that are over a hundred pounds anywhere. I asked them to have the items removed from my apartment because they are taking up space and I cannot use either item because I did not order a white dresser and I did not order a broken dresser. I am asking for the Better Business Bureau to help resolve this issue so I can delete my Amazon account and move forward from having to deal with their negligence when it comes to someone being disabled and their inability to provide orders correctly.

      Hello,

      I'm Prashanth 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.

      I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced with regards to order 113-2828594-9648245.

      Upon review, we see a refund has been processed on the order on December 3, 2023 for $174.23 and a replacement for the order. Looking at the details, we see our team has offered a pickup through AMXL, as this was the only option available, however it was declined as you won't be available during pickup.

      For the inconvenience caused, our team advised to keep the item or dispose it and if in case the replacement is charged you can contact us and we shall be able to process the refund on it.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding in this regard.

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      Complaint: 21004780

      I am rejecting this response because: the response only addressed one of the many issues faced with this company. They did not address the fact that I have a disability and their drivers continuously deliver heavy packages to a different building making it difficult for me to bring them to my apartment. They did not address the multiple times where I have ordered same day delivery and the orders where delivered on a separate date after the payment was made. They did not address the fact that the drivers who do not follow delivery instructions also don't scan the items into the mailroom; making it even more difficult to retrieve the packages.

      Sincerely,

      The attachment shows the amount of times I have had to reach out to Amazon and speak with customer service in the last 8 months. From bait and switch delivery dates, to leaving heavy packages in a separate building although my delivery instructions state to deliver to my door. (see attached). I have had issues where the delivery drivers not only do no follow the delivery instructions, they also do not scan the items into the mailroom which prompts a code to my email. They have left items outside of the mailroom where anyone can just walk up and grab the item and have falsified where they delivered the items although they were delivered to the mail room. (see attached). 

      As someone who has a disability making it difficult to carry items, I have asked on multiple occasions to have the items, especially heavier items delivered to the front door. (see attached for disability). They have left my couch, bed frame, dresser, tables, etc in the mailroom despite my delivery instructions and acknowledgment that I am disabled. This issue occurred since moving in April 2023 to *******, **. With almost every item I've ordered I have had to call Amazon customer service. This has led to me ending my prime membership because of the constant nuances with this company.

      Greetings from Amazon.com

      Thanks for reaching out to us. We recognize how crucial it is for their business to get all questions answered.

      Please inform the selling partner that their request cannot be approved for the following reasons:

      1. Seller platform is a separate platform from buyer/customer platform, therefore, ********************** balance from seller account cannot be credited to the buyer account.
      2. They must resolve the issue related to complete the 2-step verification process to access their seller account and add a valid deposit method to receive the payment.

      Link to contact account support to access the seller account: ****************************************************

      Therefore, we regret that the resolution offered is not what they have hoped for; however, please be assured that we have worked with several internal teams to obtain the proper resolution after the necessary investigation was completed.

      Thanks for your time and cooperation.

      I am rejecting this response because: as stated in my numeorus communication with Amazon, I can't complete the 2 step verification since don't know how to set up & use the authenticator app.; my seller account has a valid CC for any charges on damaged/returned items, & can be credited the same way my checking account was.

      Greeting from Amazon Services,

      Please advise seller that if the account has a positive settlement balance, Amazon will only deposit the money into the active bank account. ********************** cannot transfer funds to seller's credit or debit card. For verification related issues or to know how to add and delete credit or debit card in an Amazon store, seller can go to Add, delete, and verify your credit or debit card information help page:
      *****************************************************************

      If Two-Step Verification fails and seller still can't access their account, they can recover their selling account. To regain access to the account, seller needs to verify their identity by providing a scan or photo of a government-issued identity document. To protect their account, we won't be able to make changes to their Two-Step Verification settings until their identity is successfully verified. If they are able to sign in to the account, they'll have access to make changes to the account.

      To recover their account:
          Go to Two-Step Verification Account Recovery.
          Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your identity document.
          Make sure that your name and address, and the issuing authority (for example, state or country) are visible.
          Cover, conceal, or remove sensitive information such as account numbers or identification numbers.

      The verification process can take 1-2 days to complete. Amazon will email seller to confirm once Two-Step Verification has been disabled. Seller will then be able to access their account with only their password.

      I bought the same item twice because I thought the first came broken. Turns out when I got the second item, it was a user error, and the first item DID NOT come broken... I just did not know how to set up it properly. When I realized this, I shipped back the item on November 27th at a *** drop off location, and Amazon marked on their website that they received it at the warehouse on November 30th. It is now December 13th which is the longest it has ever taken Amazon to issue a refund back to my original payment method. When I reached out to their customer service, they said if I want to get a refund I have to verify my identity due to suspicious activity on my account and then sent me an email stating the following: Because we noticed abnormal activity on your account, we need to verify your identity before we can consider your request for a refund or replacement.

      I returned items following Amazon policy online. The items have been confirmed received but yet Amazon is refusing to give me my money back without sending in personal information. Thats theft especially since all the items were returned. This is fraud no where on the website dies it state my identification card is required for a refund even on case to case basis.

      On Friday, December 8, Amazon locked my Amazon account due to "suspicious activity." Amazon's email states, " We took this action because either the Amazon gift card or the Amazon gift card balance that you are using is in violation of our "Terms and Conditions". If you believe that we took this action in error and you want to regain access to your account, please sign in to your Amazon account and follow the on-screen instructions to upload the gift card purchase receipts."When I follow Amazon's instructions and attempt to log into my account to upload the requested documentation, I receive an error message, "We have detected suspicious activity on your account and have locked it as a precaution. We have emailed you instructions on how to unlock your account."These instructions are conflicting. I'm told to review email instructions on how to unlock my account (log into my account and upload documentation), but I'm unable to log in to upload the gift card purchase receipts. I've attached the receipts that verify I indeed purchased the gift cards from an authorized retailer.

      Complaint: 21004412

      I am rejecting this response because:
      It is unacceptable to require a government issued id, which can be used for identity theft be provided for refund. An alternative should be presented to me to validate my information. I can provide another form of proof of residence if needed. I have returned all items and provided proof of return through the original file attachments. Please refund my money as quickly as possible.

      Sincerely,

      *********************************

      I have received a damaged item of NIN JIOM - Pei Pa Koa (Convenient Pack) 15ml X 10 Sachet. Since it is damaged, I asked Amazon for a refund. They refused and asked me for ID. I am not comfortable with it so did not provide. I would like the refund back.
