Dear Better Business Bureau,I am a long-time Amazon Prime customer who recently purchased a faulty $149.99 ***** coffee maker on November 9th. Despite my years of loyalty and thousands spent, Amazon is making me jump through hoops to get a refund for the defective item that arrived November 11th.Specifically, I purchased the coffee maker through my account ***************************** with order number 111-8039895-4066644. Though Amazon promised a working product, the unit did not function when delivered.I have tried returning it for a refund or replacement, but Amazon has not resolved the issue after 2 days. They are requiring extra verification as a Prime member, which is unacceptable service given my high spending and loyalty over the years.I ask that Amazon promptly provide a full $149.99 refund without further hoop jumping. They need to re-evaluate returns for loyal customers like me. Thank you for your attention to this very frustrating situation.*********,*******

Furthermore, the order defect rate for this order has been removed from Seller's metric.
In summary, Seller has already been credited with the concerned amount.

On Oct 27, 2023 I purchased a new Shark vacuum, for the total price of $102.82 and received my order November 10, 2023. Order number: 114-2628806-9828253 The item I received was thrown into an unmarked box (no original packaging anywhere to be seen), with the parts of the vacuum merely unsecured inside the unmarked box. The vacuum arrived in used, broken condition. I paid for a new vacuum, advertised as new. It is clearly used and scuffed up on many areas of the vacuum too. In addition, the serial number has been blacked out with permanent marker. I immediately contacted Amazon to request a return of this used, broken, possible counterfeit vacuum. I was told in order to receive a refund I would need to submit government issued ID. I have spoken with over 9 or so Amazon employees, most of which have been over the phone, and have been told submitting my government issued ID is the only way theyll reimburse me for this used, damaged vacuum. I see this as unlawful demands by a big company who doesnt care for their customers privacy or rights of their customers. It is abuse of power to demand outrageous private information just to receive a reimbursement upon return of a product that was not at all as advertised. I never agreed to provide such private information as a customer (something which one of the representatives confirmed via phone when I asked what legal agreement I entered which subjected me to relinquish my private information to receive a refund As expected, I was told they could find no such agreement).I have spend over 8 hours, so far, fighting this with Amazon representatives. My time has been robbed from me and Amazon is trying to rob me of my money unless I bow to their unlawful demands. Please help me get my money back for this used, broken, piece of garbage I was sent. Thank you for your time.

I bought prime membership trial and applied discover card promotion credit ($30) to the Amazon order #***-4598751-1808200 to make it will be delivered on time as a birthday gift. However, the package got lost during the transit (from Amazon to ***** tracking number 9361289715324532990994).Amazon agrees to refund for the item but neither the prime member fee, nor the $30 promotion credit. I don't think I should be responsible for the loss caused by Amazon and want to get both the prime membership fee and $30 credit refunded. Or Amazon can deliver the item as a replacement without additional cost.

I am rejecting this response because:
I still have 2 concerns:
1. I didn't buy Amazon Prime membership until Amazon displayed the upsell page of Prime which told me that I can get my order delivered on 10/19 if I buy it. For this reason, I bought the 7-day Amazon Prime trial with the item in the order. But Amazon missed the advertised delivery date. Even worse, Amazon lost my package. I think I should get the full refund of the Amazon Prime trial because the service I bought doesn't work as it advertised.
2. I understand that Amazon cannot add the promotion credit back to my account. But please be honest with me, Amazon caused so much inconvenience to me and made me very embarrassed that I couldn't give the promised gift to my girlfriend. And Amazon claims "Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company". Should ***************************** me for my loss?

Sincerely,
