On July 6, 2023 I opened an Amazon account for ********************** Day. I did make a couple of orders that went through successfully but I kept getting orders canceled by Amazon which they kept stating due to "quantity limit restrictions on select promotional and popular products" however this account had yet to place orders on said merchandise. A few days later my account is closed and I had to send documentation showing the virtual credit card was mine. A few days go by and then I get an email on July 12, 2023 that the account is now closed due to "violations of our returns and refund policy" which the account has never returned one item. In fact, the account has only had two successful orders out of seven where Amazon canceled five. I appealed and requested that they send me documentation showing where I violated such policy and all I kept getting was the same copy/paste response.Business Response

On April 8th of this year I purchased netgears nighthawk ac26000 smart WiFi router for a total of *****. I received the product the next day and have used it for the past few months. Today my router stopped working so I called netgears support line who informed me for the first time of a subscription that is required for use of the device. The fee of this subscription is 99$ every 5 years which was not mentioned or referenced in any way in the description of this item. I am making this report because I find it to be shady practice to sell a device like this without disclosing that an exorbitant fee is needed for the device to function in any way. I have called netgear who told me theres no way around this subscription fee. I also spoke with Amazon to get this issue resolved but they told me since its past the deadline for returns theres nothing they will do even though this is an issue I had no way to know about in that window of time.Business Response

Hello,I am filing a complaint against Amazon for allowing fraudulent listings to stay up on their platform. I reported to them a seller that was paying others for positive reviews, and they have done nothing in response to it.The treatment I got for reporting the issue has been rude and essentially a "mind your own business" response from the outsourced support staff who are likely in on the scams and have zero interest in addressing them.This complaint is likely going to one of those outsourced staff members anyways.Considering you are not even allowing me to review these listings noting that they do this as a warning to others, you won't be getting reports on the two other attempted bribed reviews I received either. Good luck combatting fraud. I'll just be publicly shaming you elsewhere for allowing this industry to prosper. If you want me to report the attempted paid reviews I got now, I expect you to pay me for my time. You can match the paid gift card offers I got. Feel free to contact me if you want them.Business Response

Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.

We notified the customer of this decision by email on 29th July 2023.

My husband and I pay over $100 annually for Amazons prime service. As a part of our membership, we have purchase delivery perks. Almost every order that my husband places, they do not arrive on time or they simply do not arrive. When we call Amazon customer service, they will give us the run around and only offer $5 or $10 as an apology. We have expressed the them several times that $5/$10 does not solve the issue and we are only looking to have our order send with no problems. After many times on the phone for long periods of time, we grew tired and still got no results. I placed an order recently for a vacation and when my package was delivered it was completely empty. I explained to the rep that I spoke with that I have video cameras on my porch and around my house where I can prove my package had not been tampered with. Still, even speaking with their resolutions specialist, he only offered me $10. I do not want their $10 anymore and considering the time my husband and I spent on going back and forth with Amazon employees, I think it is reasonable to ask for a refund on our prime membership fee in addition to a free year of prime, seeing that weve had way too many unsolved cases issues and we have not gotten the membership perks in which we clearly paid for.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.
I've reviewed your BBB complaint and I'm sorry to learn your prime order deliveries are not happening on time.
The Prime FREE Two-Day Shipping has and continues to reference the shipping method used, which has not changed. When items ship through the designated carrier, they are shipped using the expedited shipping method specific to Prime shipments. There may certainly be carriers currently experiencing some delays, but items are still shipping out with the same methods.
The Amazon Prime Shipping Benefits description page (*****************************************************************************) states, If the item you're ordering is out of stock or unavailable to ship immediately, the shipping method time starts when the item ships. For example, it will take two business days after an item ships to reach you with Two-Day Shipping.
Additionally, Amazon.com Help: Guaranteed Delivery Terms and Conditions (*****************************************************************************) also specifies The [delivery date] guarantee does not apply if we miss our promised delivery date because of an unforeseen circumstance outside of our control, such as a strike, natural disaster, or severe winter storm. Also, delivery scans might be inaccurate.
However, we'll be happy to investigate and check this with our relevant teams internally. I request you to please help us with a few order IDs which had these issues.
Regards,

I applied Amazon chase credit card. When I applied the Amazon promised me I will have 200 dollar credits. I double checked with chase, the employer at chase said it is correct I will have 200 when my application is approved. I passed the pre approval, and then I submit my application. At same day, I received an email that ***** asked me to submit some official documents to verify my name and home address, and I submitted them instantly. I received my card on July 12th with only 50 Amazon credits. I contact Amazon asked them why I only receive 50 credits, not 200, and the customer service at that time said they will give me rest credits shortly. She also created a case for me, and case ID is ************************************. I did not receive my credits after 24 hours, thus I contact Amazon again. However, the customer did not give me the credits, and accuse me to be a liar, said I lied to them ask for credits. This is unfair accusation! And he attended to harm my reputation! Thus I want you could help me complain to them!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: It doesn't give a clear evidence of the ban reason, this is my unique account, linked to all my principal accounts on a lot of things (Twitch, prime video, ubisoft, playstation, blizzard, etc) and only used on occasional shopping, since the client is from outside the U.S. I ask for a more in depth investigation, this account can be even associated to me as a former employee of Amazon (login qiurodri).

I purchased a table from Amazon order #***-8886490-9381064 the table was missing 4 table legs and 4 table tops. I can't even assemble it. See pictures. I called Amazon and was told to send it back at my cost and wait ,a whole month for a refund,l! I informed the very rude operator at Amazon that I could not afford to repackage and send it and it defeats the purpose of using prime only to lose money for a month waiting for a refund or replacement. The operator named ******** told me to bad, refused to transfer me to a supervisor and rudely hung up on me. How rude. Prime membership is a waste of time and moneyBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:I never asked for a refund, I simply asked for the parts to complete it's assembly. Amazon not only didn't address this matter but seems content that the horrible customer service that I received is acceptable to them. Again, I was rudely spoken to and hung up on which seems to be the company standard at Amazon. Furthermore, no one from Amazon even bothered to simply give me a phone call!
I was able without the help of Amazon to contact the seller and receive replacement parts (which is what Amazon was supposed to help with. Also I love how Amazon refused to take responsibility for their customer service people just being simply rude.
