      I ordered a Sealight **** LED Bulb. The item comes with two bulbs to be used as lights on my car. I placed the order on November 11, 2023 with an expected delivery date of November 12,2023. After placing the order, i received an email from Amazon saying that I needed to be home and provide a 6 digit passcode to the delivery driver. I obliged, and stayed home waiting for the delivery, as it is headlights for my car, and i needed the item quickly. At around 12:00PM I checked the status of my delivery in the amazon app and it said my package was in *********, **, over **** miles away from my house. This was interesting to me, as the package started out 20 miles from my house in *******, **. I started a Online Chat with amazon support. In the chat, i was assured that the package would still be delivered that day, on the 12th. I raised concerns with the associate that the package appeared to be lost by amazon and had now been assigned two different *** tracking numbers in the app, and he was telling me that *** was not delivering the package. He advised that if i didn't receive the package by the 13th, that he would perform a returnless refund for the item. When i called today, the 13th, and raised the issue of the promised refund, all of the representatives dismissed my concern and hung up on me. including three "supervisors"> i did not curse, yell, or use inappropriate language with the representatives, so it was very clear they were disconnecting the calls because they simply DID NOT CARE TO HELP. As of now, Amazon is refusing to honor the promise that they made in writing. they are also refusing to move the package that is stuck in their warehouse in *********, **. I refuse to let a company promise something, in writing, and then choose not honor it. Thats insane.

      Hello,

      I am ******** 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 apologize for the bad experience you had with our customer support team and for the delay in the delivery of your order. I've shared your feedback with our team to avoid it in future.

      Upon checking on the details, it looks like the package was routed to an incorrect location/wrong facility center resulting in this delay in the delivery.

      When a package is late, we don't consider it lost immediately; we give it some time because in most cases it arrives within a few days.

      If you have not received your package or a refund by 26-November-2023, please contact us back through chat or call and we can investigate this delivery further and help you on this matter.

      Thank you for your understanding.

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

      We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      I purchased ***************** In ear on Sept 7. I received a email that my credit card disputed the charges. I accidentally clicked on line disputing wrong charge. I immediately contacted citi bank and dropped the dispute. My credit card company gave me a courtesy credit. When I dropped dispute. The courtesy credit was reversed and payment resubmitted to Amazon. Here is where the problem is....after this...I returned the item. Since it shows a charge back, no one at customer service understands. They keep telling me that I have been refunded. No one understands that was not the refund. I have my credit card statement from Sept 9 that shows. 1. Payment to amazon. 2. Courtesy credit. 3. Courtesy credit reversed. 4. SECOND payment to Amazon for same product (reinstated the initial payment) I finally found one Manager that understood the problem and told me she would take care of. *****, she promised to resolve..I waited 2 weeks and she hasn't called back. She also called me at 4am in the middle of the night. I keep offering to send my credit card statements and everyone else says no need. Why can't I find one person to understand the refund they see was the charge back when disputed and since then my credit card reversed the dispute and PIAD amazon. That would have been fine...except I returned it since and the chargeback is confusing everyone but me. I am a loyal customer and continue to shop almost daily on Amazon. But over 2 months and no help is wrong. I am owed a refund for ******

      I am rejecting this response because:
      It's been 4 business days and no refund to my credit card. I called them and they stated that there isn't a pending refund at this time. I never received an email at ********************** (amazon account email) as stated in your response. 

      If refunding to credit card isnt working due to the charge back before I returned the item, then give me amazon credit on my account. Please figure out something to give me the money for the product that I do not have. I just dont want to feel ripped off. I dont understand how this isnt resolved. It simple, i cxl the dispute, my credit card reinstated the funds to amazon. This shouldnt affect a return made after.

      I have tried several times to get Amazon customer service to issue refunds for various orders that I would say sum up to at minimum 400.00$ , due mostly to poor packaging and delievery. Most recently for example, they sent me a cast iron cauldren with a crack in it with some chocolate and supplements in a jar. Of course, the chocolate was all smashed and the supppements broken. I live in a limited available space without a car, so by time I ask for a refund each time had already thrown out the box and/or useless product, and can never go to a store to return in return timeframe window. Amazon now is forcing me to upload my photo ID which I am uncomfortable doing after having 3 different customer service reps hang up on me for something that is Amazons own fault. I want all my orders refunded over the past year if possible for these inconeniences getting forwarded to email and never answered, as each one had at least one damaged item and this is unethical and unacceptable for a national buisiness. I also expect to be continued to be able to shop with Amazon and receive actual quality products.

      I ordered a refurbished phone on Amazon in September and when i received it it was not working. I returned it with no problems and received a refund. I ordered the same one from a different seller on Amazon and everything was fine until the fingerprint sensor stopped working due to a poorly refurbished device. I requested a refund and sent the phone back and now Amazon is asking for personal information i am not comfortable with giving. They are withholding my money and threatening to drop the case with no compensation.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I'm filing this complaint since I couldn't resolve my issue with the business directly. The problem is that I added to my inventory the listing B01JKSS9PK that after some time has been removed from the marketplace due to invalid product identifier. I've been told that the only possibility to reinstate the listing is provide documents regarding this **. But I'm not the owner of this ** and I have no idea where I can get these documents since I have no connection to the legal entity which registered this **.We decided to change the listing to generic to bring it into compliance with the real product information since from the very beginning it's not clearly understandable that the listing is for generic replacement product which is compatible with the Sub-Zero's. And also we thought that it might ease the solution of the problem that the ** doesn't match with the SubZero brand. It shouldn't since it's a different product. The only problem is that when I tried to fix a product page and remove the content that has nothing to do with the product (I need to mention that I haven't created this listing, I am just trying to fix it), my request got refused since the problem is with ** and the listing got removed. I cannot change ** on the listing, and I have no possibilities to contact the ** owner and receive documents requested for a product and that this ** has nothing to do with the brand. I ask for your assistance with this matter, we saved all changes we could on the listing and provided the Amazon team with the whole bunch of changes that we are trying to make including the incorrect brand attribute and correct attributes information as well as an image of the product in high resolution. We asked them to change the *** but got rejected in the end. Please, contact the business and provide them with my request of assistance on fixing the listing. Please, help us update the *** and get this listing reinstated.Best regards!

      Complaint: 20862034

      I am rejecting this response because: The business has sent us a request to implement the actions we mentioned in the appeal. We do not agree with such a decision, firstly, because an appeal has never been requested by the business and has not been provided by us (this means that we had/have no way/tool to solve the issue like that). Secondly, all the actions described by us in this complaint have been implemented. We cannot make changes to the listing ourselves due to its removal from the Amazon catalogue, so we saved the new attribute content in the "edit" button and requested an update of the listing from the Amazon team via the fix a product page case to replace the wrong content with the correct one. However, the team refused us twice, in connection with which that complaint was filed. So we asked business to escalate this issue and update the *** from their side (since we have no technical and physical abilities) so the content which is required to be removed will be finally removed.
      We also ask the business to solve the problem within the framework of the complaint and the situation described in the complaint.

      Unfortunately, we will not be able to edit the attributes as the ***** B01JKSS9PK as the **** is suppressed.

      In order to reinstate the **** you can provide the proof via one of the following methods:

      * A copy of the certificate issued to you by GS1 showing your legal entity and associated GTIN prefix(s), along with proof that the legal
      entity on this certificate is related to your brand, such as a trademark registration or website which displays your products or brand and its
      relationship with the *** or EAN owner. We only consider official websites owned by the brand, manufacturer or the *** or EAN owner - the
      affiliation must be clearly called out.

      * A document from the manufacturer or brand owner clearly calling out the affiliation between the brand and barcode owner OR stating that you
      are allowed to use your own GTIN to sell unique products with their brand. If you are using your own GTIN to sell unique products with their
      brand, provide a copy of the certificate issued to you by GS1 showing your legal entity and associated GTIN prefix(es).

      This document from the manufacturer or brand owner can be in the form of a trademark registration, legal agreement, letter of affiliation, or
      email. This document should be legible, contain letterhead preferably with the logo, and include the issuers name and contact information,
      including a point of contact at the brand or manufacturer that Amazon can contact to verify.

      Once you provide the document, we can contact the concerned team for reinstatement

      I am rejecting this response because: We are not creator of the listing, and we are not the legal entity that registered this product identifier so we have zero opportunity to receive and provide documents you requested. However, it has been in Amazon catalogue, and this product is in our inventory so we have to resolve the issue with it but Amazon doesn't let us fix the listing due to restrictions we cannot deal with. Please, let us change the listing details to remove the reasons for removal from the listing.


      Sincerely,

      On 10/04/23 I purchased a monitor that stated it was 165hz when I received it I was unable to change it to 165hz after diligently working with support(ViewSonic) and trying to figure out how to get the 165hz. I relented and tried to process a return. Unbeknownst to me it was 5 days past my return window. Being that this would count as a defective item, I tried to return it anyway. I was then sent to two different chats representatives on the first occasion of contact in which the second one ended the session without even helping with my issue. On the second try I was sent to three different chat representatives where the last one told me I need to verify my identity in order for the refund to be process. I did. Later in the day they denied my refund request stating the policy. I then wrote back and stated that this item is defective and the issue should be rectified as such.
