Amazon is holding my brand and store to an impossible standard. Amazon is not qualified to make any *** medical device judgements which is what they are doing.They took my best-selling product down (ASIN B0BXHP47PP), wrongfully claiming that it is a medical device for professional use only. They claim it is a spirometer, but it has no diagnostics, precise measurements, or treatment capabilities to speak of. It is a breathing exerciser, functionally similar to a toy balloon.For reinstatement of the product, they want us to provide a **** from the ***. However, the *** will not and cannot issue 510Ks for products that do not qualify as medical devices for professional use only.My product is NOT a spirometer, nor is it for professional use only. It does not meet *** requirements for **** registration.I need the BBB to help me get through to Amazon. Their frontline teams are not paying attention and are confused about what qualifies as a medical device for professional use only.Business Response

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to Amazon. After further review, ASIN, B0BXHP47PP remains restricted due to breathing exercising devices being restricted.
Thank you,

I have returned item orders but I have received a refusal to have my money returned to me despite it being a long time since the returns were sent. The orders are as follows:- ORDER # ***-2276323-0149012 - ORDER # ***-5714239-3096232 - ORDER # ***-1808093-3977827 - ORDER # ***-5954285-9340251 This is utterly ridiculous. I want a refund for the items I have returned back to Amazon.Business Response

I am so sorry to hear of the issue you have shared with us regarding the refund for the returned items from Order ID: *******************, Order ID: *******************, Order ID: ******************* and Order ID: *******************.
A careful review of your account reflects that the correct information has already been provided regarding the Order ID: *******************, Order ID: *******************.
Because we noticed abnormal activity on your account, we need your ID to verify the account holder before we can consider your request for a refund or replacement. We may also request additional information before granting your request.
The appropriate team has sent an email to you with instructions on how to share this information with Amazon. Once you submit your information, it can take up to 3 business days for us to finish our investigation. After this time, you can contact back and we will share the status of the investigation with you and any next steps that we might need to take.
For Order ID: *******************, The refund of $17.10 has been refunded to your original payment method on Friday, November 17, 2023.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Amazon, one of the largest e-commerce companies, for their recent policy requiring customers to provide identification in order to process returns and obtain refunds for products that have already been returned. I believe this policy raises serious privacy and security concerns and is a significant inconvenience for customers.Details of my complaint:1. Customer Information ******************************'s request for identification poses a threat to the privacy and security of customers' personal information. Requiring customers to provide ID exposes sensitive data and may result in potential misuse or data breaches.2. Inconvenience and Unreasonable Requirements:This policy creates unnecessary hurdles for customers seeking legitimate returns and refunds. It imposes an additional burden on customers who have already adhered to Amazon's return procedures.3. Lack of Transparency:Amazon has not provided a clear and detailed explanation of why this policy has been implemented and how customers' data will be protected. The lack of transparency is concerning.I have contacted Amazon customer service to express my concerns and seek clarification on this matter. Unfortunately, their responses have not provided a satisfactory resolution or explanation.I kindly request the Better Business Bureau's assistance in addressing this issue, seeking transparency from Amazon regarding their ID requirement policy for returns and refunds, and advocating for a fair and customer-friendly resolution.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in bringing this concern to Amazon's attention for review and potential policy adjustments.Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint.Sincerely,*****Business Response

Hello *****,
I'm Himaja 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 am sorry to hear about the issue you faced with the return of some of your orders including "COFACE Mens Orthopedic Slippers with Arch Support Plantar Fasciitis Slipper".
Upon reviewing, I see that since an abnormal activity has been noticed on your account, you were requested to produce identity proofs for verification and to receive further assistance. However, in normal cases, the policy is still unchanged and you would receive refund once the item is received at our returns center.
Further, I see that our team has received your identity proof and a full refund worth $16.15 has been issued on November 12, 2023 on the above mentioned order.
I understand about your concern regarding the privacy of your personal information. However, your information is always secured and would never be misused by any means.
All personal information that you provide will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice. To review our Privacy Notice, go to "Amazon and Your Personal Information":

Hello *****,
I'm Himaja 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 your concern to get a clarification about the abnormal activity found on your account and about submitting Government issued identification proof for refunds.
Due to proprietary nature of our business, I'm afraid that we won't be able to share the details of our investigation methods.
For certain orders, our Specialist team requires a government issued identity proof to investigate the orders. However, the returns and refund process for normal orders still remains unchanged. You shall receive refunds once the items reach our returns center.
Please rest assured that any information you provided is handled according to our Privacy policy.

I have returned multiple items due to the reason of not correct provided size. They all worth $150 together and I have the *** return receipt but Amazon is requesting my ID and personal information to refund me. I havent agreed on providing an ID when I made my prime account and I dont believe this was part of their requirements, so now it looks like an unreasonable request to me for them to ask for my ID, as I do not trust whos my ID is going to be shared with. There was a previous incident that theyve shared my email with the sellers and their sellers were directly reaching out to my email. Their request of my ID says that once I share my ID with them they have the rights to have it and share it with anyone, so I do not find this a legit request to share my personal information yet my ID without knowing that whos my ID is going to be shared with. I have tried to reach out to them and I have received extremely rude responses of the associate literally speaking with me on a high tone and not allowing me to ask my questions. I need help with this, as Amazon is not responsive in regards their unreasonable request and the only way theyve so far responded was yelling at me over the phone. I have spent almost 6 hours of talking to them and so far no response except extremely rude conversations without providing valuable information. Theyve caused me to request my bank to freeze my credit card since theyve called out my account fraudulent and I was worried that my account is been subject to fraud. So this has taken so much of my time and energy, to get a refund for some items that they were extremely different in size than what their website says. I mean if theyre going to sell products with not accurate size information, they should expect the customers to return if the size is not as expected. I dont understand why would someone call this fraudulent and cause this much trouble.Business Response

Approx 3 weeks ago I made a fairly large order with my husbands credit card for our sons Christmas, being that Im a homeschool mom, I dont get those ************* into a store without my kids, so we decided to do an order from amazon, there were some past orders that were dont within the last 6 months that I contacted amazon about so I could contact the sellers in regards to how poor the products were, and they basically just interrogate you, belittle you, well this Christmas order came in like a thousand boxes, Im my amazon account a large part of the order for weeks said its on its way but running late so I asked about it, because I honestly did not think I got it because it was so many items but they put them in like a thousand boxes when I thought it was going to be one big box. Going through the boxes I order two packages of ***** underwear for my son, these were loose ***** underwear like someone prior returned these and out them in a clear package bag with a piece of tape, so I contacted them thats over $30 in underwear, they told me I needed be i.d and that i have to send my id so i could return the item and that they needed the item back, I told no I wasnt going to send the item back so they could take half the money or lose my refund, they make returning items so hard, they keep half of your money for a restocking fee, i ordered some pretty big items, and know i have to send them my license because they think im suspicious. Its a big order for Christmas, i want my refund and i want remorse from the head of amazon, good lord i was told i overwore my yoga pants. Here is the item number for the underwear #***-6131156-7772224 $15.56 each two packs, i shoudnt have to give a store my license because inquired about an hour and items that were junk and asking to speak to the seller.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
