So there are two orders they are not trying to refund me that i returned. one order is the one that is for $52.91 and is the order ending in **** I initially placed an order on prime deal day and the order never came in and it showed *** never delivered it and they said to wait a few days to see if it would show up but it did not and i called in and ordered a replacement and the replacement came in a few days after and the item was no good so i returned it and it shows they received it in the photos i attached and they said they want me to send them an id and i dont feel comfortable sending anyone my drivers license and specially because it is in *************** and there is no suspicious activity like they stated at all and they refuse to call the credit card company to ask if anything is suspicious which in that case the CC company can call and ask and obviously it is not suspicious and the charges are valid. So they are trying to say they are keeping my money and that is one order and last night i returned this other order ending in **** which is $121.26 and i called in an hr ago trying to speak to a ** representative to see why the account specialist in *************** keep messing with me and my account and after i called they sent me the email regarding that order ending in *********************************************************************************************************** that email saying i will also not get that refund so at this point i had to contact the *** to make this right. This is beyond frustrating for me since i even pay $16 or $17 dollars for the prime membership and how ironic that they always charge me for that prime charge and dont say it was suspicious. So they are doing this in *************** on purpose and they are very rude to me. They act like my money is not good enough for them or something of that nature. Please help me resolve this issue. I really appreciate your help!Business Response

Hello ******,
I'm Najam 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.
Im sorry to learn about the problem with your orders ending in **** and ****. It is certainly not what we expect our customers to go through.
Once an item is returned, it can take upto 30 days to process the return and issue a refund. As soon as return is verified and processed, a full refund will be issued against the order.
All returns do not necessarily take 30 days for processing and if a return is processed sooner a refund will be issued accordingly.
For more information on Return policies, you can view our website Help page using this link:

I am rejecting this response because: i returned this product on oct 23th and it has been way past 30 days and it shows in the picture above that they had an issue returning my refund and it says to call in to resolve this and they refuse to give me my refund and i returned this item to amazon fresh market where they have an amazon hub return center and they opened the box to make sure the correct item was inside and they saw it was correct and proceeded to make the return if the uncorrect item is not in the box they refuse the return and wont accept it but in my case they accepted the return because it was exactly what was ordered and i always return what was ordered if i make a return in its original package. So they want to steal my money from me is what they are doing and with the keyboard it came in and within 15 mins i did the return and dropped it off to *** because it was not what my nephew wanted for his birthday gift he wanted the bigger one so i planned on returning it once it arrives because i showed him the pictures online to see which one he wanted and i accidentally ordered the wrong one for him. I do not even want to continue purchasing from amazon due to how they are treating me and wanting to treat me very unfair for no apparent reason. I been paying prime monthly and i would order items that are suppose to be 2 days arrival hence the reason i pay for prime and the items would arrive 5 or 6 days later so i basically paid for prime to not get the prime expected delivery date as promised by Prime so they are basically robbing me for $17 a month to not receive their prime 2 day shipping promises.

Hello ******,
I'm Najam 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 understand that you'd like the refunds to be issued sooner. Please be assured that as soon as return is processed and required verification is complete, a full refund will be issued against the order.
Upon reviewing, I see that our specialist team has requested you to provide necessary details that will help them resolve this for you.
Please note, that our specialist may not be able to assist you with refund without your help in providing the required details.
Once the details are submitted, please allow our specialist team 3 business days to review and respond to you.
We have taken your feedback regarding the Identity document submission and we apologise for any inconvenience this situation has caused you.
I'm sorry to learn that some of your orders were given later delivery dates and that you feel Prime is not useful for you right now.
I would like to assure you that we fulfill each order as soon as possible. Selecting One-Day or Two-Day shipping reduces the transit time to one or two business days after we've shipped your order, but won't impact the time it takes to obtain the item or prepare it for shipment.
Please know that we constantly work on bringing improvements to ensure that we provide you with accurate service.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
I hope this helps.Regards,

Amazon try before you buy service. I ordered a skirt in September and sent it back within the time period for return so I would not be charged. Now two months later I get email I am being charged because I didnt sent it back.When I chat with Amazon they will not help me! And ask for personal passport information in order to discuss the matter!!! And end the chat before I can discuss.Shady business practices !!!!! And they keep asking for my personal information and want to charge my credit card months later thinking I might not notice.(You can see in the image it says returned) so I should not have a chargeBusiness Response

I started a return process on November 12th. *** came to collect the return on November 13th. The item was a total of $106. After 4 days I haven't gotten any update so i decided to contact amazon. They then told me there's been abnormal activity on my account, which there hasn't been any. They proceeded to send me a email at that time to tell me I have to submit a picture of my ID for verification. If i fail to do this I won't get my refund. This is private information and my ID has nothing to do with my amazon account. My package has already been taken back and is in their hands. I followed all of the instructions. I'm questioning if I never contacted amazon if they would've sent me a email at all. I don't feel comfortable sending a picture of my ID when they already have my package returned.Business Response

I purchased a $50 e-gift card for my son on 10/24/2023. My son received the e-card, upon attempting to purchase an item on Amazon with the e-card received an email stating his account has been placed on HOLD and requested a document to verify he is authorized to use it. I have made numerous attempts to reach customer support, but found it extremely frustrating as everyone that I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about and then stated the card was redeemed and that I would need to give it 72 hours. for a response from Amazon. Well, that was 12 days and 6 phone calls ago, I still have not heard from Amazon, my son is unable to use the e-card or his Amazon account and Im out $50. I have been using Amazon for the majority of my shopping but that will be coming to an end, Im frustrated that I cant actually talk to someone at AMAZON to get this issue resolved.Business Response

I have an Amazon account with a subscription to Amazon prime. I recently received a gift card for Amazon and I loaded my gift card balance onto my account in the amount of $50.00. I decided to apply for a secured Amazon store card to ******************** and was approved. I didnt have any money in the bank or on a debit card in order to pay my secured credit card deposit in the amount of $100.00 so I asked my Wife *********************** if she would make my deposit for me using her cash app card if I gave her the cash for it and she said yes. So my wife ******************************* used her cash app card ending in **** to make my secured card deposit for $100.00.

I HAVE CALLED 4 TIMES AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO PROMISED ME THAT THE HOLD WOULD BE REMOVED WITHIN 24 HOURS AND IT HAS SINCE BEEN OVER A WEEK.

I placed an order on Amazon on Oct 10, 2023 for an Apple Watch Series 9. I paid, with taxes, a total of $457.78.I did not like the item and so i returned it on Oct 12, 2023. While returning, I was informed on the app that refunds can take anywhere between **** business days, sometimes longer.However, it has been one whole month now and I'm still waiting for my refund. Each time i've spoken with customer service, they kept telling me they "manually initiated refund" and i should get in the following 3-5 business days. I have had 5 such conversations, chat and phone combined.On the app, it shows me that Amazon has received my item. However, it still doesn't show me a refund date. The last customer service agent i spoke with fed me the same rehearsed drivel but no real resolution. $457.78 is still owed by Amazon, a company that makes billions in revenueBusiness Response
