Ordered 2 DisplayPort cables on Feb 17, 2023. I ended up not using them. Request return on Feb 18 and dropped the cables off at *** on Feb 20. I asked for Amazon credit because I do a lot of shopping with Amazon. I know for sure that I will turn around and use their credit. Amazon usually issue their credit within 2 to 4 hours after I receive the drop off confirmation email from Amazon. Well not case with Amazon for the last few returns. After I dropped the package off, I dont receive any confirmation from Amazon like its used to be. I checked the status of my returns, it said Your refund will be processed when we receive your item. I have dropped off the return items for almost a month already, and they have not received my returns? The total of refund is just a bit over $10 and it doesnt take that long to send it items back to their warehouse. I called the Customer Team to follow up the status. They told me that Your package is still IN TRANSIT. Really? I think that I will believe you? They also told me its takes up to a month to have my credit after they receive my return package. Amazon is a multi-billion company, but it couldnt refund my money for $10? I demand Amazon refund my money now because I have been waiting long enough. My last 4 digits of order # is ****.Business Response

Recently I order a product Vicks vapour rub. After placing my order my account was placed into restricted by ***************************** I then contacted the customer service to seek an answer why? your account is restricted to digital purchases only due to multiple violations of our returns and refund policy.I have had no issues on my account since over 2 years ago. Due the delivery agents leaving packages in the lobby and people taking those packages bc they didnt deliver directly to the door. I reported this to consumer affairs umbudsman and CAC I won my case and discussed with umbudsman of amazon. After this 2 months waiting period I had all restrictions lifted. Now out of the blue after I placed my order 702-1995496-6201037 my account was restricted.The CSR can speak to the account specialist but myself I still can not, this must break rules in the charter of rights, and consumer protection and affairs. Im not sure ?? if I am placing this in the right location, but the company is Amazon ******. Any advice would be great, I would appreciate direction in this matter. Also I thank you for always supporting myself, and on a personal note your work is vital to ensuring business follow operation chain of command and that consumers have a safe place to identify any issues.The call centre number that called me from CSR from the amazon app request for CSR was from phone number **************.Strange *** working for Customers in ****** I thought the was a bylaw of the *** to regulate ******** customers to ******** CSR. Well I trust your leadership and I know I can rely on your wisdom to take next steps.Last time I had an issue resolved they held 1000$ on my account hostage. This time was without reason or explanation.Have a wonderful day ahead and I pray we both find success in these matters. Thank you for helping people with disabilities, its hard doing this alone but I try my bestest with your help. GodblessBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: I would like to know the correct correspondence, and I would like to speak to a manager in charge of this restriction on my file. I want to know the purpose of it and I want to know the order numbers so that I can do a proper analysis and give proper feedback to the Better Business Bureau. I was expecting the supervisor of customer service to contact me Wednesday. I can clearly see a violation of my rights because that person did not contact me back after our conversation case ID is provided in the picture and proof that I did try to find a solution after OFM emailed me without giving me the proper procedure and how to file a claim to have my status, fully reinstated, because no evidence was given to me as a consumer. This is a clear violation of my rights and I want answers. I have already identified as a person with a disability, and I expect full cooperation.

My account entirely. Stealing my possessions.
I proved my case about the importance of delivery
Standards and that they left packages to multiple customers
In the lobby during construction ?? when it was public
Access area.
Randomly they do this again not identify who they are
Violate my rights by cramming and slamming unjustly
Effecting my level of enjoyment and freedom as a consumer
With recognition of my disabilities.
I will continue to take you advice please ensure public
Can see they have violated my rights and that way bc
They made no effort to communicate professionally other
Then to send verbatim msgs both to you and to me.
I will continue to take action in FTC and an office of attorney general.
Thank you for taking time, you are courageous and a good person.

Hello,
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.
Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.
We notified the customer of this decision by email on 22 February, 2022.

I am rejecting this response because: you have failed to respond ethically within the moral guidelines of **** Secondly you have failed to justify the facts, which clearly contradict your claims. Consumer bylaws also clearly protecting the rights of all consumers is not super seeded by any one individual. The consumer has provided proof that they had won the case previously filed in 2022 February and that the dispute held against them was false. Proof has also been provided that no refunds were requested after that incident. The dispute process on your guidelines in your policy allows for consumer to have from the date of the claim made against to be identified. The consumer has offered 5 attempts to resolve the issue. Consumer has requested to speak to the ombudsman as per the rights and regulations bylaw. Customer will continue to resolve the issue via the authority of the attorney general as the person responding back has crammed slammed and continuing to use scripted responses. Showing no concern for the user, consumer, or professional courtesy to reach a resolution that would ensure the enjoyment of the consumer. Every conversation with amazon customer service has been followed by the instructions and guidelines of the **** You have continually violated the rights and freedoms of the customer. Do not recognize your position or title to amazon but god knows that I have been supportive in improving amazon as a business both by writing positive reviews, for other customers, by providing messages of gratitude for each successful delivery of un damaged products and for any product that didnt follow the instructions listed on delivery or were left in any public access areas due to lack of professional delivery standards. I alway follow the 3 day investigation period, I always send proof when and if I have any way of providing it. I always work with customer service to reach a ethics and accountable resolution. You can suspend my account but you have no legal right to cancel bc I already can enjoy ordering products from the marketplace. Their is no further need to threaten or discourage customers from products and services rendered paid for in advance. Bc those services have nothing to do with market place purchases. Furthermore I am trying to find your appeals process I dont agree to have any representation other then myself to adjudicate unless I specified to that body in writing. I would hope that you have more respect for your consumers who are loyal and trustworthy who already have proven operations chain management issues and who have proven faulty delivery and taken the time to help amazon improves business standards delivery standards and helped to improve overall success of the Amazon brand community and identify to public marketplace. As a courtesy standard consumer reserve his rights to his digital content. Lastly please show some professional courtesy and try to help the consumer to have a pleasant experience. Thank you.

Greetings!I am writing to you regarding the issue with Amazon Team.I faced the issue where Amazon calculated the incorrect *** storage fees. Every time I received the same response from the Amazon team. I attached a screenshot with their answer. The item`s weight and dimensions for ASIN B097DYYSD6 are mentioned below:Weight: 4,6 pounds (see the file "Weight 4,6 pounds")Height: 11,7 inches (attached file "Height 11,7 inch")Length: 8,3 inches (check the file "Length 8,3 inch")Width: 6,6 inches (see the file "Width 6,6 inch")These are the dimensions of the product box which Amazon ships to the customer. It means that I mentioned above the box dimensions (NOT product dimensions). 11,7 x 8,3 x 6,6 **** = 0,37 cubic feet Amazon made a mistake in measurements of almost 1.5 times. This was reflected in the number of fees we are forced to pay. Now my product has been moved from Standard-size storage to Oversize storage.According to the **** inventory storage limits" Policy, the current limit for standard-size inventory is 25 cubic feet, but I have 0,37 cubic feet. It means that my products do not fit for Oversize storage.I contacted them a lot of times and received a response that there are no mistakes in calculations on the part of Amazon. I did not receive their assistance. Amazon measured my item incorrectly and refused to remeasure it.I attached documents that prove my point. You may ensure by checking the product`s photos.I kindly ask you to review my explanation and attachments in detail and change the *** storage for ASIN B097DYYSD6 to Standard-size storage.Best regards!Business Response

Hello,
I am *************;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 understand your concern regarding the stolen order. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Stealing anything is a criminal offense and it needs to be reported to the authorities immediately when noticed even for a single dollar. This will not only help to stop this crime but will also help to recover the loss.
For the reported order, our team will need to investigate the issue to ensure a necessary action is taken and for that they will need the requested police report. I request you to please report it to the police department and file a report, let them complete the investigation and update the status of the report.
Once it is updated, please share it with our team by replying to the email where it was requested for. As soon as our team receives it, they will verify and help you further.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I filed a compliant with my charge card because an item I purchased which was $161 broke. Amazon told me they would refund and I don't have to send the item back. Every since I filed my compliant, Amazon continues to send the credit card paperwork showing I received the item. My complaint had nothing to do with receiving the item as I know I received it I was complaining on the return.Well ever since then now my account is flagged. Any expensive item I purchase I now have to sign for or give a password. Also my returns are not given to me up front and have to be returned. I am being unfairly targeting by the company for my complaint that has nothing to do with not receiving the item. I want these flags removed from my account.Business Response

Hello,
I am *************;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 understand your concern regarding "Account flag".
Please note that we do not have such "flags" to put on any account. All the orders, returns/replacements and refunds are governed by the applicable policies available on Amazon.com.
We may ask to verify additional securities before an order can be placed/completed specially the expensive items in order to make sure there are no unauthorized access to the account and to avoid financial loss. These policies are in place to safe guard your account and security.
I understand this might be inconvenient to go through this additional factor of authorization however we have implemented it for the safety reasons. I'll share your feedback with our team for further improvement though for this case.
Regarding the refunds for returning the order(s), there are some items that qualifies for advance refund. That means, a refund is immediately issued after the carrier scans the label we share however it is not applicable for all the items. Some will be processed after we receive the item at our return center and in all cases, we will keep you updated with the email after the refunds are issued.
You may refer to the following link for most upto date return policies.

Amazon charge my gift card $10.79. When I contacted AMAZON to dispute and request a refund I was told they could not help me bacuse I would not give them access to my account information. My gift card that has the fradulent charge is not associated with my Amazon account; therefore, what is the purpose of giving customer service access to my account. Furthermore, Amazon told me that if the card is not associated with my account, even if I gave them access to view my account, they could not help me. I requested to speak with management or someone that can escalete the issue and was told that I have reached the highes contact there is.

Upon checking on the information that you have provided, I was able to find the charges in your account itself. The charge of $10.79 is for the item you have ordered "SPECIAL MADE Collapsible Water Bottle Leakproof Valve BPA Free Silicone Foldable Water Bottle for Gym Camping Sports Lightweight Travel Bottle Durable 20oz(Dark Green 2nd version)" arriving on Tuesday, March 14, 2023. Order Total: $10.79

In future, if you see any charges that you do not recognize, I'd suggest to please check your recent orders and their associated payments. If you still do not find them and do not wish to give us the access too to check if we can find it, I recommend to please contact the card issuing bank for the disputes.
I hope the above information regarding the charges helps. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

On 12/01/22 my credit card was charged $93.93 for a 11/27/22 purchase of three pairs of shoes (two of which were the same but different sizes). I returned the two size 9 and kept the size 8.5 but received emails from Amazon that they had refunded me for all three pairs and were going to charge my credit card again for the shoes that were never returned. I tried calling them but they make that impossible so I sent an email and, as expected, received no response. After checking my credit card account, I realized that not only did they charge me twice for the shoes that were never returned but I never received a refund for the two pairs that were returned! Amazon's own Order Summary #***-9680847-0017065 shows the original 12/01/22 $93.93 charge and today's $36.97 incorrect duplicate charge but no refunds. This transaction could not have been mishandled any more than it was. Amazon now owes me a $93.93 refund.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, Amazon charged my credit card for my purchase and had no right to refund me by an account credit, especially without even so much as an email explaining why they took that action or allowing me to agree to it. I make many purchases through Amazon and it should not take a complaint through the Better Business Bureau to communicate with this company to get issues resolved.
Sincerely,*****************************
