Date of transaction: 10/27/23 Amount: $399 + tax Item: ASUS TUF Gaming 34 1440P 1500R Curved Monitor (VG34VQL3A)Dispute: I was sent a much smaller box than one would expect for a 34" gaming montor which upon opening contained a padded chair cover. So far they have refused to give a refund or credit.What Amazon has done: Really nothing. I called them many times and they continually refused to give a refund so I told them I had no choice but to contact my credit card company to reverse the charge to which they said o-k. So, that's what I did. Now over one month later on 11/3, the credit card company called me and told me they're still working on the dispute and that Amazon says they delivered the item.Amazon Order #: 113-5965588-0319451 *** Return tracking #: 1Z9758R19040993637 The issue is with adverstising in the sense that theyr'e falsely adversting on their website "Fast, Easy Returns Process" which is clearly not the case.Business Response

hi, i bought an Apple Watch 9 from amazon and I was supposed to received the package yesterday, but when I wasn't at home, the carrier texted me told me he needed the password and this is the first time i was shopping with amazon and I didn't know that I should kept this password for myself until the carrier directly gave me the package, but the carrier didn't told me that and he seemed like this is so urgent and I have to gave him the password. After I finding out that my package was missing, I contact with the amazon agent right away and finally there is an agent (seems like the manager )on the phone told me that he could refund me until tomorrows 8 pm( in other words on 3 November after 8pm) I could choose an option to refund and they will agreed to refund, but I just called them today after 8pm and they told me that they couldn't refund me, this is definitely a fraud and I don't think the carrier sended the package outside the door.Business Response

Hello Hongyuan,
I'm ************;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 sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused with order.
I've reviewed the order #***-4981252-9128269 and the tracking indicates the package was delivered using a one-time password.
One-time password verification adds extra security to your deliveries as the password is only available in your out for delivery email, sent on the day of delivery. It can also be accessed in Your Orders by clicking 'Track Package' next to the relevant order. The delivery won't be completed until the password is shared with the delivery driver. Therefore, we are not able to issue a replacement or refund on this order.

I ordered 2 items from Amazon, this is because if you add items after certain amount, you get free international shipping.I got one of the items and after 2 months I did not get the other one and the status was "not shipped". I contacted multiple customer service representatives and they all said they could not cancel the item if they even said anything at all (awful customer service). Finally after 4 managers they said: "Once the order was placed from your end the item was not there in our fulfillment center" and "Cancel option was not available from our end".So they cannot cancel the item, and I cannot cancel the item, they want me to re buy it, but if I buy it and becames available, I will get it twice and be charged twice.I asked this to be shipped to me, and was told this is not an option.Business Response

I placed an order with Amazon for a computer (Skytech Pro Eclipse order# ***-0657453-5591408) for $2000 (not including tax and shipping) on 11/01/2023. The following morning, 11/02/2023, I received a notice from the Amazon app that they detected suspicious activity on my account, had locked down access, and cancelled my order. I contacted customer care and verified all account information, and account access was restored. Then, I asked them to reinstate the cancelled order as it was legitimate, and they said that was not possible. I informed ******* that the price had increased by $500, and I was told not to worry, reorder the item(order # ***-1706942-0177821) and Amazon would refund me the difference. When I called back they refused to do the refund. I escalated the call several times and reached a point where there was nobody else they would allow me to talk to. I could really use some assistance on this as I am essentially being stonewalled for the $500.Business Response

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused with orders and I understand that you are concerned about price difference.
I've reviewed both the orders and I see that the items are from third party seller. We strive to maintain low and competitive prices on everything we carry. We constantly compare Amazon's prices to our competitors' prices to make sure that our prices are as low or lower than all relevant competitors. As a result, we don't offer price matching.

Ive experienced a pattern of Amazon offering to deliver items same day if you increase your order of qualifying purchases to at least $25. But then they invariably fail to deliver any of the items same day. Its a bait and switch - they entice you to add to your purchase in order to receive your items sooner, and then they dont live up to their end of the deal.Additionally, they state in the screenshot attached that if i dont want to wait, i can cal the items, but this is untrue - there is no option to return the items at this time. They must first be delivered or be several days late.Business Response

Id like to first offer my sincerest apologies to you. While Im incredibly sorry to learn of your experience, I want to genuinely thank you for your diligence in pursuing our attention to take a serious look at what youve reported.
I've reviewed the order and I see that item was delivered on Friday, November 3, 2023, Guaranteed Delivery Date. I apologize as it was delivered at 9:00 Pm instead of 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM time frame.
I will take a ***** feedback and escalate it on high priority to the concerned department and make sure necessary actions are taken to mitigate such instances in future.
When an item is shipped we do not have an option to cancel the order however if you no longer need the product customers can refuse delivery when carrier arrives with package.
However as the items from order 114-5805151--2090645 are marked as delivered we won't be able to take any action since the items purchased are non-returnable.

Im going through a HIGH RISK pregnancy, with HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, etc. I had gotten the Graco Soothe My Way Swing from my babys registry, order #*******. No, I didnt open the item immediately, *** spent countless days and hours at the hospital due to my current pregnancy conditions since then. The swing isnt as expected, it doesnt seem to be working as described! My return window was 10/21/23, I requested the return int the app, I received my *** label, I was given the next day to return, which I wasnt aware of! Since then, *** spent a week in the hospital, immediately afterwards my two young children, who are extremely asthmatic became violently ill, I had to be back and forth to doctors offices and hospitals for testing and evaluation of their conditions. Due to those unfortunate, unplanned, unforeseen circumstances I wasnt able to make the return by 10/22. I contacted Amazon, bcI still had the unused *** label. Rep ******* consistently yelled aggressively, humiliated me, told me I had until 10/21 for the return window. I explained my situation, and asked how was I to return the item the exact same night I requested the return? She then rudely Interrupted me, asked, Are you done? While expressing how rude that response was, she placed the call where all I could hear was the Amazon back ground music! I called back, begged for a manager, supervisor ***** came, I expressed my concerns, circumstances, and issues, she stated, Im sorry youre having issues in your life, but the window closed, we will not accept your return, and she will be ending the call! By the third call, I was in tears, the rep apologized, and promised she would let them make an exception given the circumstances. I was then told it was a false promise, I was lied to, and no exceptions will be made, and rep ended the call! My fourth call, I was advised to contact the manufacturer, my last call the rep, said, No exceptions, youve been told, I will end the call,and she ended the call!Business Response

Hello ********,
I'm ************;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.
Id like to first offer my sincerest apologies to you. While Im incredibly sorry to learn of your experience, I want to genuinely thank you for your diligence in pursuing our attention to take a serious look at what youve reported.
I've reviewed the Order #***-9721533-5383407 were not able to accept the return for Graco Soothe My WayTM Swing because more than 90 days have passed since you received this item.
We accept the return of merchandise as long as it's returned in new condition within the return window however it looks like the return window for your item ended on October 21, 2023.
I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual and/or contacting the manufacturer to see if the problem in question is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.Most manufacturers list contact information on the product packaging.
If you can't find the information there, you might want to try doing a web search to find their phone number or website.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you for your understanding. Have a great rest of the day!

I am rejecting this response because: I do agree that I had the item for 90 days, however, I didnt open the item upon immediate arrival. The box wasnt opened until almost 30 days later. I couldnt open because, going through my high risk pregnancy, and high blood pressure, *** spent most of my time admitted in the hospital back and forth. I didnt have the time to focus on opening the item, since me and my babies health are first priority.Also, I didnt need the item immediately, so it wasnt opened for a long while. The item was requested for return before the return window was closed, which is why I have the unused return label from **** I just didnt get a chance like Ive stated to drop the item to the *** store due to health issues.
Im constantly being reminded of the closed return window, however it is being ignored that I did requested a return before the return window was closed! Most importantly, Amazon is ignoring the fact that due to uncontrollable medical conditions of myself, unborn baby, and young children, I wasnt able to drop off the item to ***!
Im willing to accept a restock fee being deducted, even though it doesnt seem to be fair, since thats an expensive I really shouldnt be obligated to doing!
Sincerely,
