On November 6th, I received an email from amazon saying that they closed my account while they did not specify the reason.

Hello,
Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.
Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.
We notified the customer of this decision by email on 11/16/2023.
Funds in your account (if any) will not be disbursed.Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon claims I violated the terms and conditions but I do not think I have. If I have, why would they refuse to specify the reason? And even if they close my account, I should be *********** my account balance, which is my property. Amazon has not rights forfeiting it from me. If they can close any account they want and get the account balance, I am sure they would do so for no reasons, which I am suspecting is exactly what's happening on me.

On 11/3/2023, I received the email from Amazon that it said my account has been closed permanently. Then I explained and provided evidence/example to them to let they believe they closed my account in error. But they responded like an Ai answer mode and told me "may not reply to further emails about this issue" on 11/5 (see attach document). In addition, they changed the reason of why my account was closed. And this reason was fake. I called their customer service phone number to solve the issue, they said they would send an email in ********************************************** fact, the email that I received just similar to the first email (which told me the account was closed), it was not helpful to me to solve the issue. Then, I called they again on the other day, they continued to said that let me waiting for the email in 24 hours. And for this time, I didn't received the responds.To sum up, Amazon thought me had some prohibited, illegal, or fraudulent activity and then closed my account without any reasonable evidence and explanation. They even asked me to explain and provide evidences to indicate they make an error. And I didn't see that they are trying to help me solve the issue/open the account.Business Response

Complaint: 20851935
I am rejecting this response because: The Amazon staff just made a perfunctory effort. After I made this complaint, I received an email which was the same as before that told me the account was closed and I could explain if I though it was an error. Then, I wrote a very long response email to explain the activities of my Amazon account in details. But Amazon never give me a response or reply. Based on the previous attachments I provided, I suspected my Amazon account was closed by robot or AI. The Amazon staff didn't prove the right of wrong of the result (closed my account). The response (Amazon staff sent to BBB) also not provide any evidence to prove my account was violation of the Amazon.com "Conditions of Use." I am the user and the customer of the **********************, I have right to know the truth related to my account. The most unacceptable thing is Amazon even "threatened" to prevent me to create new account (see the previous attachments I provided). I didn't know this "threaten" was sent by robot (or AI) or Amazon staff, they were such disrespect me. Amazon as a famous company, I am very disappointed, they didn't care about me as a customer because they have a lots of customers.

I purchased a renewed iPad from Amazon, order id ******************* on 9/19,. I have until 12/20 to return the item. I recently purchased a laptop and decided I did not need the iPad. I initiated a return and received a confirmation by email. The policy for this return is *** will pick it up and provide a label. I waited all day and no driver arrived I reached out via chat to try to find out if anyone could tell me when the *** driver was coming. I was transferred to 3 different agents with zero anything. they just kept changing agents and no-one ever addressed anything. Then an agent came on said I had not started a return. I copied and pasted the email info for them and then they said something about an order delivered on 11/6 (my laptop, not the iPad) finally I opted for a phone call hoping that would help. As I am calling, I receive an email saying there is unusual activity on my account and I need to send of copy of my id. I spoke to 3 there agents, NO ONE could tell me what the unusual activity was. I don't understand how I have been ordering from Amazon with heavy frequency for a number of years, now needs my id. The address they are picking the iPad up from is the same address it was delivered to which is my address where all my deliveries go. I was also informed on one of the calls that I can return it but I am now not guaranteed a refund! This experience is completely is ridiculous. I still don't fully understand what happed. It appears that not one customer service agent knew anything or wanted to work. Frankly I am hesitant to give anymore personal info to Amazon. And I still have no idea when *** is coming to pick up the package!Business Response

On Oct.31st 2023 I ordered a 30# box of pecans from a third party seller, ******** Pecas, on the Amazon website. According to the picture, the pecans looked like they were of good quality. I ordered these with donations I receive for my squirrel sanctuary, where I feed approx. 60 squirrels on a daily basis. The nuts arrived on Nov 2 and to my utter shock, I opened the box to find old, moldy pecans, broken and black with the addition of pieces of wood in the box. To my estimation, there were no edible nuts in the box. I immediately notified Amazon and contacted the seller (******** Pecans). The seller sent me a return label and I then brought the said pecans to the closest ***** drop-off. On Nov 7, I received a message from ******** saying that they issued a refund back to Amazon via Shopify. I then contacted Amazon and was told it would take ***** days to receive my money. So I filed a dispute with Paypal (which is how I paid for the pecans) So now I have no money and 60 squirrels who were cheated out of pecans. I want my money back ASAP.Customer Answer

More than 3 orders have been delivered past the prime delivery date in the last 30 days.Paying the increasingly high cost of prime to then have delays over and over does not make sense, nor is it reasonable for customers to have cost added and service lowered.I am raising the complaint because there is an item I desperately needed based on an injury I am now in physical therapy for. Order 113-1449066-5770657 had a heating pad that should have been delivered on 11.8.23 and it's still undelivered and at this point I am in excruciating pain!Order 114-2013591-1295414 had an item delivered 5 DAYS after the other items were delivered order 114-2258474-1932263 had an item delivered a full week after the last item in the order was delivered.I have also had to follow up on multiple returns that I was charged for after having dropped them off.There is a CONSTANT issue with Amazon as a PRIME MEMBER.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon is not addressing the desired result. Please review the complaint again and address that there were 4+ item delivered late, one specifically was a medical need and that had to be reordered in order to support the medical issue I needed.Prime offers two day shipping and many items are being delivered late, my desired result is to gain an additional month of prime for free or another form of make good due to the high volume of packages I am receiving late, although I pay for prime.

I have had the worst experience with deliveries and I have had countless discussions with Amazon customer service personnel, supervisors, and even other members who stated they worked directly for the finance department. I have informed Amazon that for some unknown reason **** does not deliver to my address. I have had this problem for months and I kept getting told that they are sorry and that the issue won't happen again. Bit it still happens very often. My packages are not delivered or get lost. According to **** they cannot deliver any large items to my house because if it doesn't fit in the mailbox, they dont think its safe to deliver. I have no fault in that and I communicated ***** constraints to Amazon. Amazon assured me that they would adjust their system so that for deliveries, **** is not used. One agent said it would take 2 months to get it approved. It has been about 4months and I still get packages undelivered via ****. At this point, it has become a big issue because I am contacting customer service way too often and it is a waste of my time. Amazon is not fulfilling their end of their bargain, I have Amazon prime for the convenience but they are not delivering and are not fixing the problem. I keep getting the run around. I also do not have a way to buy whole foods so that is another service that Amazon does not deliver on. Finally, customer service agents say they will do things (refunds/replacements) and they do not do them. I just finished a chat with an agent that essentially confirmed that another agent lied to me and I would not be getting a refund plus a replacement as I was originally promised. The agent said that I was "misinformed" even though I have evidence because all my communications are via chat. It is very frustrating and I am spending way too much time chatting and talking to customer service. The pictured show only a glimpse of the craziness i have been dealing with. Let me know if you need more info.Business Response

Thank you for getting back to me and apologies for the delayed response as I was unavailable due to work.
You said below that you would work with the relevant departments, what has been the resolution with regards to my case? Is it possible to ensure **** is not used?
The address is:
1882 **************
**********, ** 02871
Again, after speaking with the post master, they said that they are unable to deliver packages to my address that do not fit in the mailbox because the delivery person says it is too dangerous. No other explanation was given other than it is out of their hands.
How about the other items? I was particularly disturbed when one amazon employee told me they would send me some **** soap AND also refund me me for the inconvenience. But a week or two later I chatted to follow up where the soaps were and the new amazon employee essentially told me that the original person misinformed and essentially lied to me. That is truly unprofessional and frankly inappropriate. It is not about the soap, its about your employees saying they can and will do something and then don't do it. It is extremely frustrating and just unprofessional all around. Please, let me know what you are going to do about that situation because that was really the reason I contacted the BBB because I was lied to and I have records that date back to 5 months ago stating someone will look into not using ***** So it is a series of lies by amazon.
Looking forward to a response. It is very irritating.

Hello *********,
I'm Priyanka 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 very sorry to hear about the delivery problems, and I appreciate you making us aware of your experience. We use valuable feedback like yours to continually improve delivery performance by all our carriers. In order to address your concerns, which appear to relate to deliveries made by ***** in the future we will attempt to prioritize different carriers to deliver to your shipping address.
This process can take up to 2-3 weeks to go into effect and once completed, there is still a possibility **** may be selected. Carrier de-prioritization doesnt eliminate a carrier completely, but reduces the likelihood they're selected as the carrier for a specific order. Additionally, subsidiary carriers and last mile carriers associated with this carrier may still be chosen for your deliveries.
The de-prioritization is specific to a single address entry on your account, so orders shipped to a different address will not carry the same priority.
In addition, any updates or edits made to the home/business/recent address entry that was de-prioritized in your account will result in removal of the de-prioritization.
As for the **** Soap - Situations such as these are very rare, and are corrected shortly after they are reported. Please be assured that we would definitely work on your feedback and ensure that such issues do not arise in future.
We respect your request for additional compensation for this ordering experience; however, we're unable to offer further discounts or monetary compensation beyond what has been provided. I realize this news may be disheartening to hear, but please know we truly care about your experience. Be assured your candid feedback will be used to continually improve our processes and services.
Though I regret the series of events that led to you receiving this email, I'm grateful for the opportunity to have heard your story and shared your feedback.
We look forward to serving you again - and serving you better - next time.Best regards,

I purchased a Feedback Sports Omnium Over-Drive Portable Bike Trainer to be used by my student athletes at their state championship race as warm up trainer. The package arrived 2 days before the race but was not the Feedback Sports Omnium Over-Drive Portable Bike Trainer, but was instead a "A Frame Bike Stand" from the same company. I immediately filed to return the item (19 Oct 2023) and shipped the next day (20 Oct 2023). The trainer was received by Amazon at their warehouse on 24 Oct 2023 (tracking number 1Z9758VX9044755448). I expected a refund shortly after. When it did not come I called amazon customer support and found out that the refund wouldn't be issued until Nov 9th and it would be an account credit not a refund to my card and that would show up on Nov 10th. I informed the Customer Support person how disappointed I was. Now it is Nov 9th and I am seeing that Amazon has pushed the date to Nov 12th to issue with credit to be refunded on the 13th of Nov. This is unacceptable. Amazon has had the package since Oct 24th in their warehouse. If they can manage to ship as quick as they do, do they really not have a good process for returns? I expected to have my money back within a few days of Amazon getting the package. I hope it really doesn't take Amazon a few more days for this. This is getting ridiculous. Additionally, in the time it has taken for Amazon to return the item their price has increased by $80. So I guess I am out that as well. Amazon Order Number: 113-2151083-5241863Business Response

My account was hacked on 10/20/23 and I lost access. I have called Amazon 4 times on different phone numbers and have yet to have this resolved and to regain access. Every time I have called I have been told they cant verify my information and that theyll have to send an email to their back office to have them investigate. I have been told each time that I would receive an email in 48 hours; however, I only received an email after the first call and that did not resolve the issue. The last time I called I asked that someone call me as well as emailing, but that hasnt happened. I asked to speak with someone in the fraud department, but was told I couldnt. I am shocked at how unconcerned everyone has been that someone else has my information and that they could be making fraudulent orders/charges. I would expect them to take fraud more seriously. I am reaching out to the BBB hoping you can put me in contact with someone that can resolve this. I have been a long time Amazon customer and have spent a great deal of money with them. I am also a prime member. I attached screenshots of the only email I received. Thank youBusiness Response

My reasoning for this BBB Complaint is because Amazon.com tried to scam me out of a full refund thinking I wouldnt notice. I placed an order with the # being 112-1192151-1773856 for a pair of shoes by credit card, when I received the shoes did not fit and were returned. Amazon.com sent an email saying the return was processed but my credit card transactions showed no return. I look through Amazon.com and seen they issued me $64.99 as an Amazon Gift Card which only covered the cost of the shoe before taxes, duties and conversion as I am in ******. The return should have been $122.95 CAD. I chatted with an Amazon.com agent through the App and even she said $64.99 was credited to my Amazon payments. I informed her I paid by credit card therefore I should have been refunded same method and that the amount Amazon provided via Amazon Gift Gard Balance didnt even represent the cost whatsoever. She informed me she would process a full credit to my credit card to which should have been done in the first place. The time and inconvenience this has caused could have been avoided with common knowledge and logical thinking. I am requesting Amazon.com issue me a Gift Card for the amount as well as my refund. I am considering bringing this to the attention of ************************ as had I not noticed this, I would have been ripped of over $60.00.Business Response
