I made a big order on Amazon and then decided to return everything since I had a change of direction on wanting to start a t shirt business. Upon returning 16 items most of them were refunded immediately. There were other bigger products that took 2/3 weeks to refund. There is one item left of my account that has yet to be refunded even though it has reached the *********************************************************************************************** because of abnormal activity on my account. I dont understand they refunded everything else including the bigger items but want me to now send my ID to verify myself to refund my last $30? I dont feel comfortable doing that when they have my original payment method on file. Just refund my money? Theres confirmation they received my item back but think its okay to not refund? I will be deleting my account after this issue is handled because this whole process has been long and frustrating. I understand it was a large order to have sent back but thats my right to return within the 30 day period.

I ordered an Apple Watch band on November 4, 2023. For a total of $310.33. I received the item on November 7, 2023 Upon receiving the item, I noticed it was shipped in an Apple band Watch box. However when I opened the item it was fake. I immediately called Amazon and told them of the issue. They stated they would process my refund upon receiving the item. I sent back the item same day 11/7/2023 which was received by Amazon on 11/10/2023. I followed up regarding the refund and they stated they would need prof of identification to process the refund. Which was never mentioned prior. I have uploaded my ID however, this does not seem like an appropriate practice. I received a fake item and they are asking for proof of identification.

On July 4, 2023, I ordered a Camera Remote Control Wireless Shutter from Amazon. I initiated a return shortly after. On July 22, 2023, I took the item to the Bitter Lake Amazon Drop Off location. I received an email stating that the item was received. On September 8. 2023 I called Amazon to inquire about my refund. I was told that I needed to contact the carrier to find out where the item was. I explained that the item was dropped off at an Amazon drop off location. I was told that I would need to wait a bit longer for them to receive it. I have called several times and have received the same reply. I was told that I needed to email customer support in order for them to begin an investigation. I did email customer support regarding this issue and have not received any assistance. I have tried on multiple occasions to have a refund processed with my latest call being on November 11. 2023. After this call I received an email asking that I return the item and that a refund couldn't be issued until I verified my identity due to suspicious activity on my account. This is an almost 4-month-old issue without resolution.

Complaint: 20859146

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon has not provided a refund for the item that was returned to an Amazon drop off facility in July. This item was among a few others in the same box and all of the other items have been refunded.
Amazon is requesting that I provide a government issued ID to verify my identity, however, when I placed an order on the Amazon website on 11/13/23 there weren't any issues and no request for proof of identity. Seems to me that if there has been any suspicious activity on my account, I wouldn't be able to place any orders until that issue was resolved. I would also like to point out that the several times that I have contacted Amazon about this issue I have not once been asked to prove my identity until the last time that I contacted them asking for my refund.

Sincerely,

Amazon first said that they had detected unusual activity on my Amazon account, for this reason, they have temporarily placed it on hold and canceled any pending orders or subscriptions.I have uploaded documents with the required information to verify my account. However, ********************** removed access to my Amazon.com account and canceled all open orders even if I provided everything they required. Now I can't even contact a customer service representative because I can't even log in to my account. I even have orders shipping on the way and they already charge my card for the amount. Now I lost access to my account and I can't even get the shipping information. I have been a legitimate customer and made several orders with them. However, Amazon shut me out all of a sudden.
