      I've been an Amazon customer for eight years. Recently, my account was unexpectedly closed. When I reached out to Amazon **, they redirected me to Amazon **. Yet, my account was deactivated globally, including the **.Upon querying ****** branch, I consistently received generic responses, indicating I violated their terms, but without specifying which terms I allegedly breached. In the past three months, I haven't made any purchases or requested refunds. After some research, I discovered users faced account closure for using warehouse addresses. I realized I had recently added such an address, unaware this might be an issue.Many users reportedly regained access after explaining the situation. However, despite explaining my case and genuinely seeking understanding, I only received repeated generic emails stating the "final decision."My goal is simple: I wish to restore my Amazon account and continue my longstanding relationship with them.

      I ordered some vitamins on November 1, 2023, with Amazon, and they said it would be delivered by November 4th, 2023. Then I received a notice saying it would be a day earlier on the 3rd. it never came, and I had to get my son to come and wait for the package. they then said it would be delivered on the 4th, I'm in my seventies and I have appointments with therapy and Doctor ************* this is what Amazon does and if you complain about it they treat you terribly, it never came again after waiting all day, I got a notice, saying Now it will be arriving tomorrow, 5th, I uploaded the image of the map they show to track your delivery, it shows how close the delivery was to my home and then when it's close to 10 pm they sent a notice saying now it will arrive on the 6th, this is so awful, this is harassment and torment !!! The way Amazon treats its customers, I try to be nice and patient but it's very hard, I have been under so much stress that is the reason I ordered magnesium vitamins for my nerves, I didn't write anything to Amazon until today, because I am so upset, I need my Vitamins, I'm so angry I called my Doctor on a Sunday because this stress me out so much, and now I'm supposed to receive an order from Amazon on Monday That cost me $84.89, I just want what I paid for! Please help this harassment needs to stop! People have a right to complain when they're being wronged. Every month there is a problem, with Amazon, not one month goes by smoothly with Amazon, I have so many screenshots and proof to show how long this abuse has been going on. I plan to complain to the **** the **** our Attorney General ************************* of the state of ** consumer affairs, and all the agencies who need to reprimand or I will start a lawsuit everyone makes mistakes, these are not mistakes this is harassment.

      As I said in the complaint, I had an order I was suppose to receive  today, Monday November 6 2023, for which I paid $84.89 First they said it would be here before 8pm, then at a little after 8 they sent a notice that it would be here at 10pm . I never got it. it's 10:34 Monday night and I never got my package. I did receive the package from the first complaint. I never in all my 70 something years have I ever delt with such an unprofessional ,irresponsible, and contemptuous company and,I hope I'll never have to again. I believe all consumers should be aware of this.. Thank you.

Anyway, thank you so much, for all your help, I doubt I'll be buying from Amazon anymore, too many problems!

      Re: Order # ***-3829277-3158606 I recently purchased two cabinets from Yizosh, a vendor, through Amazon. One arrived intact, one was damaged. I contacted Amazon and explained that I would prefer a replacement rather than a refund. That was all just ignored and I was told by ****** that it would be no problem, that they would send a return label and to just send the damaged item back. I explained that it was a six foot cabinet and not something I could just send back. Typically, for Amazon, they just ignored everything and continued to direct me to just send it back. Eventually, I was transferred to Joy who was supposedly better able to solve such a complicated issue. After several more explanations that the item was over-sized, over weight and not something that could just fit in my car, or any other car, *** apparently gave up and said she would contact the vendor and for me to wait for a response from them. Eventually, ****** contact me via email explaining how important their customers were and how hard they would work to make things right. I replied that I would prefer a replacement, if possible, rather than a refund. That was it. No more contact from them or Amazon. In a subsequent request from Amazon for feedback, I gave a legitimate review and explanation. Not surprisingly, Amazon refuses to post it. My opinion is that Amazon refused it simply because it made them look bad. Also, in my opinion, that's reason enough to doubt any review ever posted on Amazon. The problem now remains that I rec'd a damaged product, am without a refund and with no means to return a huge and heavy cabinet, one that I just can't slap a return label on and drop off at the local post office, as they suggested. Hopefully, Amazon will show more respect for the BBB than they, and their vendor, Yizosh, have shown and provide a solution to what should be a simple issue. Thanks BBB.

      I've reviewed the order #***-3829277-3158606 and see that it was placed with ******, a seller on our website. They have replied to query posted on October 30, 2023. An email was sent with their response on October 31, 2023. We suggest you to reply to the same email with photos as requested by seller so they can assist you further.

      Youll be able to respond directly to the sellers email or you can also respond to their message from Buyer/Seller Messenger on our website.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Neither Amazon nor the vendor has yet to even acknowledged the actual complaint. They have been notified multiple times that the issue remains regarding HOW to return the 6ft cabinet which is over-sized, over weight, was delivered by a large ***** truck and simply cannot be dropped off at the post office, as Amazon ridiculously suggests! As such, they have not even attempted to offer a means to comply with a return. Thanks BBB for at least getting them to pay attention.

      Hello ********,

      In continuation to our correspondence, this being a seller item and as they have agreed to assist you further once they receive images of the product with best possible options which are available at their end.

      We can only create a return label and as I see return label was created on Monday, October 30, 2023 which if you wish you can return it to any carrier. As an alternative you may also contact seller and request for pick up.

      To contact seller please visit: **********************************************************;

      Since seller agreed to assist and as we have provided a return label, we won't be able to take any further action.

      Thank you for your understanding. Have a great rest of the day!

      Complaint: 20827733

      My response to this latest message from Sahitya G can be found below.


      Also,please note the following:
      -The seller has NOT agreed to assist with this issue at all after the original contact, which has already been documented. Further, they HAVE received the requested photos and need only to request them again if they have been mishandled on their part. To now suggest that they've been waiting all along for them is disingenuous, to say the least. Also, copies of the photos, along with the email sent to the vendor have previously been also sent to Amazon. They already have what they now say they are waiting for.
      -Providing a return label is useless, as ********* knows very well, if it's sent with conditions that are impossible to comply with. To now suggest that a pick up is possible is long overdue and would have prevented this whole issue. Nice to see they are finally forced to acknowledge the actual problem. Unfortunately, since there is no contact from the seller, ******* G knows this is just more wasted time unless Amazon actually acts on their own advice.
      -The link they reference in their email leads directly back to Amazon, a point easily proven just by following it. It seems a bit misleading to refer me to a 3rd party with a link that leads directly back to Amazon.
      -Finally,seller has NOT agreed to assist and Amazon provided a worthless return label, both very well known to Sahitya G.


      (I realize that Amazon is now refusing to assist in rectifying the return of the damaged item sent by Amazon, but as further proof of my attempts to comply with Amazon's return policy, I wish to provide the following screenshots. They are the result of Amazon's advice to follow up with the vendor. Following their direction through the link provided lead me directly back to Amazon. Please note the remark that "Amazon," not the vendor, is handling the return. I continue to wait on legitimate direction in returning the damaged product sold by, and paid to Amazon along with actual assistance in posting my review.)

      Sincerely,

      B D

      I've reviewed the item Beats Fit Pro and see a refund was issued to your MasterCard on November 5, 2023 for $172.39. We sent you a confirmation email on the same.

      You can view details of the completed refund on your Amazon.com account:

      Once the carrier has received your package, it can take 14 - 30 days for us to receive and process your return. Refund time frame is also provided in return labels email sent when return is initiated.

      As for the return, were not able to accept the return for Osprey Tempest 30L Women's Hiking Backpack. We accept the return of merchandise as long as it's returned in new condition within the return window of 30 days. It looks like the return window for the product ended on October 22, 2023.

      As an alternative, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer for any assistance with warranty, replacement, or refund information.

      You can find the manufacturer's contact information here: ********************************************

      The manufacturer may require a proof of purchase, such as an invoice, before they'll send you a replacement part.

      I appreciate the prompt response from Amazon in addressing my complaint; however, I must express my disagreement with the suggested course of action. Amazon's customer service representative was directly involved in the issue when provided false information of refund for the price difference since the beginning, after another customer service representative said to me to start a return process after the return window was closed, therefore, I believe it is Amazon's responsibility to manage and resolve this situation, rather than directing me to deal with the manufacturer.I'd like to outline the sequence of events that have led to this situation:

      I initially reached out to Amazon's customer service for assistance with the issue I encountered with the product I purchased.
      Amazon's customer service representative provided guidance and advice on how to buy the product with the original price
      Following their instructions, I attempted to bought it. Subsequently,I requested a refund due to the unsuccessful attempt to resolve the issue following Amazon's advice.
      Given that this issue arose as a direct result of Amazon's customer service guidance, it is only fair and reasonable for Amazon to take ownership of the situation and facilitate the refund process.

      I kindly request that Amazon reevaluate my refund request and manage it directly. It is crucial that Amazon's customer service stands by their guidance and ensures that the matter is resolved to my satisfaction.  I should believe that Amazon values its customers and their trust, and I wish that we can reach a resolution that reflects these principles.
      I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter, from AMAZON nothing asking me to deal with Manufacturer

      Order number: 112-1627915-2961063 Order date: 8/30/2023 We ordered a Maxi-Cosi car seat from Amazon.com for our new grandson. The car seat was delivered damaged. We immediately requested a return. The return option was to have *** pick up the item. *** picked up the item a couple days later, but failed to scan the item in. It has now been more than 60 days, with no delivery updates and no refund. When I contacted Amazon, they tell me I need to contact ***. When I contact ***, they tell me I need to contact Amazon. I'm getting the run around from both of them. *** does not allow me to open a claim, and Amazon simply says that there is nothing they can do and literally hangs up on me.

      Hello *******,

      I am Vishal from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      I've reviewed your email regarding the orders placed on our website.

      Upon reviewing I can see that the return for this item was not received or processed at our warehouse.

      Here since this item wasn't scanned by the carrier, and more than 30 days have passed, we're unable to issue a refund.

      I request you to please understand our limitations here.

      Thank you for your co-operation. Have a great rest of the day!

      Hello,I made many returns to Amazon via Staples since August. Amazon is claiming they never received the returns even though I have proof of return from Staples. Amazon is charging me for items I returned. I've notified Amazon of this issue countless times. They have done little to resolve my concerns. I've given them every return slip from Staples so they could proactively put a stop to any false charges but they haven't. I have continually called and emailed them but no one is willing to put a stop to what is going on with my account. By their unwillingness to get to the bottom of my issues they are being willingly incompetent and wrongfully collecting revenue that they haven't earned because the items were returned. Please note that I can't upload the backup because all the return receipts from Staples are causing the file to exceed the limit. I'm happy to email them to the BBB.

      Hello *******,

      I am Vishal from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      I've reviewed your email regarding the orders placed on our website.

      Upon reviewing I can see that our internal team has already reviewed this and below is the response from them :

      "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I wanted to call, but in respect to your time, I'm introducing myself via email instead.

      First of all, I want to apologize for the unnecessary complications with your orders that you returned via staples. I would like to inform you that I have already processed a refund for the orders that displayed the returns that are being charged back. I've based it on the list you provided of products you had returned. Based on the list, there were 9 orders listed as not returned with chargebacks, and 3 of those orders were not yet refunded. I've made sure to process a refund for the 2, but only one can't be refunded due to the charge not reflecting.

      As of now, I can see that a total of $75.2 is pending and is currently in the refund processing state. This refund will typically ************** 3-5 business days.

      I'll continue to monitor these orders within a seven-day time frame to make sure that they will not generate another chargeback."

      If you have any more information to share or any further assistance regarding this you can reply to the email sent on November 6, 2023 1:13 PM with subject 'A Message from ********** with Amazon.com Executive Customer Relations' and our team will review this further for you.

      Thank you for your co-operation. Have a great rest of the day!

      I am rejecting this response because: Amazon still hasn't given me the information I requested feel confident regarding my returns and false charges nor have they offered a goodwill gesture for causing a loyal customer 3 months of unnecessary hassle and trauma. 

      Sincerely,

However, when I tried to log in to my account the next day to check the shipping progress, I found that my account had been closed. I later asked via email but couldn't get any reply.Later, on November 5, I created a new account and purchased a CPU. Shortly after the transaction was successful (the order number was 111-0448015-9439466), I received a letter stating that the order was canceled and the account was closed because I violated their terms of use several times. However, this account was newly created and there was no transaction record. This is how I violated the terms of use.Amazon has closed accounts twice without reason, making it impossible for people to buy the goods they need on it. I have never returned goods or engaged in any illegal behavior. I hope my accounts can be restored and I can be given the right to purchase goods equally.
