      Hello,

      I am Mahendra 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've reviewed the details of the order #***-7090946-6966610 and sorry to inform  you that disputing the charge for your order with your credit card company removed your eligibility for the refund under A-to-Z Guarantee.

      While the vast majority of Marketplace orders go smoothly, the A-to-Z Guarantee is in place to uphold the high standards we have for our seller community. 

      In the future, I hope you'll be able to reach an agreement with the seller; otherwise please take advantage of our guarantee.

      As the claim on the order is taken down by you and charge requested we no longer have option to take action on it.

      Please contact the bank for more information about reimbursement for the purchase. 

      We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Regards,

      Mahendra

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I trust this letter finds you in good health. I am the proprietor of the Amazon seller account, Productsinfinite. I am composing to formally register a complaint against Amazon Seller Support regarding their lack of responsiveness and assistance in addressing a critical issue with my seller account. Specifically, my account has been suspended and locked under the terms outlined in Section 3 of Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement.The suspension and lockout of our account present significant challenges in addressing any existing or potential issues with our valued customers, as we are currently unable to access our seller account. Despite our diligent efforts to submit multiple appeals to Amazon, along with promptly supplying any requested information, our seller account remains suspended, and Amazon has yet to reinstate it. Our persistent follow-*** with Amazon have yielded no resolution.Hence, we are filing this formal complaint with the hope of enlisting your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of Amazon. We kindly request that they review and evaluate our appeal promptly, with the ultimate goal of reinstating our account. We anxiously await your positive response to this urgent matter and deeply appreciate your support in its resolution. Please feel free to contact me should you have any inquiries.Sincerely,*************************** Products Infinite Email: ****************** Phone: ************

      On Sept 8th order was placed for 12 Afloral Plum Fake Cimicifuga Ramosa Leaves- total $359.52. Ordered from a 3rd party seller via Amazon. On Sept 13th I received a delivery notification from Amazon for the items. Note, several items were delivered that day, but the 12 floral leaves were not. My daughter took delivery directly from the *** driver at the door of our home. These items were not received. I immediately contacted the seller informing them of the issue. The seller responded promptly, apologized & issued a refund. Amazon then sent an email stating no release of refund until I filed a police report. I wrote back informing that I would not be filing a report for items that were not received. There was no theft by my 10 yr. old. I suppose they wanted me to call the cops and state "I need to report that I never received my shipment from Amazon". That makes no sense at all. I contacted the seller again to inform them of the situation and they provided confirmation of the refund they processed with Amazon, noting it made no sense at all...Finally, after back and forth via email and hours of phone calls to Amazon, I received an email stating the refund had been processed for $359.52 on Sept 14th and would post to my account within 3-5 business days. On September 19th when the funds had still not posted, I contacted Amazon via phone. CSR stated they could see the refund in "processing" status and placed me on hold to have her mgr. push it through. She returned, noting a different ***** would have to do it and would be in touch within 24hrs. She also sent email confirmation. At 9pm EST on the 19th I received an email from Amazon stating they would not be issuing the refund. I sent a reply w/ snapshots of the emails confirming the refund as well as the seller's confirmation of refund. At the end of the day, the seller does not have the funds, I do not have the goods and Amazon is holding on to funds that do not belong to them. This is illegal.

      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 prime subscription charges.

      Upon reviewing I could not locate an active prime subscription on your account.

      Here our customer support team will need to continue this investigation over the phone. Before you contact our team, please check with authorized users of your credit card.

      If you've checked with others, call customer service with the following information:

      - Last 4 digits of your credit card

      - Date of charge

      - Amount of charge

      - The charge descriptor (e.g. Amazon.com AMZN.COM/BILL) listed on the statement.

      Amazon descriptors will now also include a unique nine-digit Charge ID, which is linked to the charge for your order, or subscription.

      Using the Charge ID, our customer service team can now help answer your questions about an unknown charge, in a much shorter time.

      You can contact our team by phone here:

      I ordered several items that Amazon broke into two different orders. One arrived as expected. The other was listed as undeliverable although ordered at the same time to the same address. I got an email stating "Unfortunately, a problem occurred during shipping. If you have not received your package in 2 days, please visit Your Orders for an update. We're sorry for the inconvenience." I did not receive the order after two days so I sought a replacement via the "Return or Replace" button on their website. Despite the name of that button, only returns were an option which was an obvious impossibility given that I never received the items, which they had already acknowledged. I then had to call customer service to get the items replaced. I was placed on hold multiple times and the call took over 16 minutes for them to put through a replacement. Clearly this is an unnecessarily arduous process designed to make a refund or replacement difficult so that Amazon can keep money on items that they know that they didn't deliver.

      Hello,

      I am Mahendra 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.

      Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the order #***-2781038-9883445 regarding delivery of the item.

      I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused due to the order not getting delivered. As we can see the original item marked as undeliverable, it might be due to the order lost or damaged during transit.

      However as we can see replacement is created for the items in which two got delivered and one item is yet to deliver.

      The replacement item is currently out of stock, once the item is back in stock it will get shipped and delivered at the earliest possible.

      I'll make sure to forward your feedback to our concern team to work on it so that such issues won't get repeated.

      We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      My account was placed on hold by amazon due to "suspicious activity". Despite providing required documents to prove my identity, my account was closed by ******************** last week. I had paid $139 prime subscription for the year and another $120 subscription for Amazon Photos. Now due to the closure, I do not have access to my pictures and videos stored in Amazon Photos. I have been using Amazon Photos as the cloud storage for all of our families pictures and videos for the last 3 years and now suddenly all of our pictures are gone.I have reached out to amazon to request at least a way for me to download my pictures, for which I paid Amazon to store them in their cloud, but they have been of no help. This is an invaluable loss to me and my family.

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
