      I spoke to an Amazon customer service representative on June 22nd on a recorded line. And I asked if I could return an item (Echo show 15) that was a few days past the 30 day return period. The agent went and talked to his supervisor and the supervisor said to issue me a refund for the item for $249.99 and I can keep the item. 2 weeks have gone by and I still havent received a refund or confirmation. I did receive a refund for a remote for $30 that I didnt even want refunded that was in the same order. And Amazon is telling me now they made a one time exception for the $30 remote I didnt even want and they cant refund the $250 item now that I wanted. I was lied too and promised something and now they are not fulfilling their promise. Order number 114-8791597-7008218

      Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the order #***-8791597-7008218 regarding the refund.

      Based on investiagtion, the refund can only be issued once the item is returned. I'm sorry forn the incorrect information provdied.

      I request you to contact our customer service so that they can check if you can return the item to get refund as that is the only option.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have already spoken to your customer support twice they are not allowing me to return the item. They said the one time courtesy to refund a item was used on the $30 remote which I did not want to use it on and they can no longer do anything else for me. As I was told previously the one time courtesy would be used on the $249.99 echo show 15. So your response is not good enough.

      My computer monitor does not have speakers, so I need external speakers for my computer. I've been using my digital piano for speakers but I wanted to move my digital piano to the living room in order to make room for another desk in my office.I needed it ASAP for work I needed to do, so I found a pair of speakers on Amazon that were available to deliver overnight. They were promised to be delivered on July 3rd.I forgot to set the address for my home address and clicked order without thinking, and I IMMEDIATELY WITHIN FIVE SECONDS went to chat with support about changing the address because the help document is wrong there is no "edit address" button on the view/edit order screen.I was told that the order was in "advance shipping" stage and the address cannot be changed. I have no idea how this could be 5 seconds after placing the order. The chat agent insisted they are not able to change the address. I told them I would just deal with it.I needed it delivered to my home because the place that receives my packages was closed July 3rd and 4th.Now my shipping instructions for this place clearly show that the place is CLOSED outside the hours of 9am - 6pm Monday-Friday. Amazon attempts delivery at 8:37am on the 3rd! Then I get a chat with the confused delivery agent saying "How do I deliver to this place?" READ THE ****** It's closed July 3-4... I told him this and said to delivery it to my home and gave the address. Nothing.On the 4th they erroneously say the delivery address is wrong. On the 5th when they CAN deliver it and the place is open, they try at 6:37AM!!And again I get the email. DO THEY NOT READ THE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS?What's worse the person both on chat and on the phone says they can't deliver it to an address outside of 1 mile of the delivery address on the order. WHY? It's not like the driver just stays within 1 mile of that place all day.This is an absolute unacceptable business failure that needs to be rectified.

      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'm sorry for the inconvenience caused due to delay in order getting delayed.

      Based on order details of order #***-0896993-3603402, it is marked as delivered on Friday, July 7, 2023 which is 4 days later than Guaranteed Delivery Date.

      We always try to fulfill our delivery promise by delivering the items on time, but in very rare situations due to various external factors such delays occur.

      I'll make sure this to forward to our concern team so that our team will 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.

      Complaint: 20282491

      I appreciate that you are going to forward this problem to your "concern" board. I'm not really sure what that is, but is something you said which is quite erroneous and feels like some PR go-to phrase.

      This needs to be addressed by people with the power to address it. People need to be able to change the address of their orders if they have not yet been delivered, at least if it's being delivered by Amazon. Because you may not have control over the delivery address of **************** or other carriers but you do have control over your own. Then the drivers need to be able to read the delivery instructions, and I don't even know.. I mean like I said.. I went there to pick up an item that said it was delivered and I saw it was closed for the holiday because I read the sign. I already knew it was closed, I had just forgotten since Amazon said another package was delivered-- but they dropped it in the mail slot, which I didn't know the business had. (won't fit packages. this was a smaller envelope)

      The thing that you said that is erroneous is that you said in "very rare situations" but this is a rare situation at all. This has happened 7 times already that delivery attempts are made outside of business hours despite the instructions being pretty clear showing the hours are from 9-6pm (9-3pm on Saturday) and closed on Sundays. Every single other time the order is infinitely delayed until it gets cancelled. The only thing rare about this incident is that I actually got my item delivered.

      So please be accurate when you tell your "concern" board about this and don't mislead them by saying it's a rare occurrence. It happens all the time.

      Sincerely,

      I am writing this to express my extreme dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the recent handling of my return and refund request for two Neewer LED video lights, order number [ORDER # ***-0258472-7071469] [ORDER # ***-6945789-6746656]. Despite my efforts to follow your return procedures correctly, I have been unfairly denied a refund based on false claims made by Amazon.I ordered two Neewer LED video lights from Amazon's website. Unfortunately, upon receiving and testing the products, I found that they were not strong enough for my intended use. Realizing this, I promptly initiated the return process through Amazon's online portal and requested a ********** for the item to be returned.After several days, the package was successfully delivered back to Amazon's fulfillment center, as confirmed by the tracking information provided by **** To my surprise and disappointment, I received an email from Amazon stating that I had returned the wrong item without any substantial evidence to support this claim. Moreover, the email further stated that I would not be eligible for a refund due to the alleged incorrect return.I want to emphasize that I did, in fact, send back the correct item that was initially purchased from Amazon. I carefully packaged the Neewer LED video lights in their original packaging, including all the necessary accessories and documentation. The return label provided by Amazon was securely affixed to the package, leaving no room for confusion or doubt regarding the contents.I find it deeply unfair and unacceptable that Amazon is refusing to acknowledge my legitimate return and denying me the refund I am entitled to. This situation leaves me with the impression that Amazon is purposefully disregarding the evidence provided and prioritizing its own interests over customer satisfaction. I believe it is essential for a reputable company like Amazon to maintain a fair and trustworthy relationship with its customers.

      Our **************** team can only confirm that we sent this message and help you with technical issues. They cannot reverse this decision taken on the order 114-6945789-6746656 or share more details on this matter."

      No evidence has been presented to suggest that the received item is incorrect. It appears as though Amazon is attempting to establish its superiority by asserting the infallibility of their claims, which is entirely unacceptable.

      I bought chairs on Amazon December 19, 2022 for the amount of $843.09. I decided to return the chairs because a few were damaged and I couldn't find a table to match them. When I went to return the chairs to the *** store, I realized I was supposed to pay for the S&H which was $593.61. I left and called Amazon. They contacted the seller and the seller refused to pay for the S&H. I was then told by Amazon that since the seller was not being cooperative, they would be taking over and would help me. Amazon told me that if I paid for the shipping and handling for the chairs myself, they would reimburse me once I showed them proof of the receit of what I paid, which was $593.61. They sent me an email so I could send proof of my receipt and told me I had to wait 3 days. I did and never heard back from Amazon. Then I was told I was sent the wrong email. They sent me another email and I resent the email and attached the picture of the receipt I paid. I waited again and didn't hear from them in 3-7 days as I was told. This same thing went on for MONTHS. I did what I was told by them, and I never received my refund. I contacted *********** because I used that credit card to pay for the S&H. I called to see if they could backcharge the amount and explained to them what happened with Amazon. They told me they had to take it up with *** since that was where it was paid. They gave me a temporary credit and then I just realized today, they added the amount back. They said the claim was challenged and *** said I had to deal with Amazon,-"again."Amazon promised me something they never intended to fulfill. Amazon did pay back the amount $843.09 for returning the chairs, but I was never paid back for the S&H I paid. I am asking to be paid back $593.61, the amount I paid for shipping and handling. This is not okay what Amazon did. They shouldn't get away with this. I was lied to, given false emails, and I was taken advantage of. Please help me.Thank you,*****************************

      Hello,

      We have reviewed the issue filed for the **** 113-6804791-6197829 and noticed that buyer is requesting for a refund on the return shipping charges. The receipt that was provided earlier by the buyer, cannot be considered as valid as the return tracking numbers are not reflecting on the receipt. For us to consider a return receipt valid it should have the following:

      1.) It should have valid return tracking numbers.
      2.) It should have delivery date and time.
      3.) It should have shipper details.
      4.) It should have return charges involved.

      Hence, we are requesting a valid return receipt to the *** Gurantee team for ** to further investigate this issue.

      In Summary, we are unable to issue a refund for the return shipping charges at the moment as the return receipt provided cannot be considered as a valid evidence.

      Thank you

      Dear bbb team, I would like to file a complaint against amazon.com. My account Alpha Beats was deactivated due to review manipulations. I contacted the account health team and was told that my account wouldn't be reinstated as that was a repeated violation. I was told that I had violated the same policy three times and the account had been deactivated permanently. But the thing is that I only violated the policy in December 2022. That time I inserted gift cards to the products asking for a review in exchange for a refund. I immediately took action and removed all the inventory from the fba storage in order to dispose of those gift cards. The problem was that a few items got stuck in transit for a long time and I couldn't return them. That's why in February ******************************************************************************************************* the storage. I immediately contacted the support team and we resolved that issue by phone. So there wasn't any violation from my side that time. That happened as for some reasons the fba team couldn't immediately send me my inventory. Therefore I would like someone responsible from the amazon team to check this issue once again and contact me regarding the status of my seller account. I am willing to provide any necessary information and documents in order to reinstate the account. Best regards, ***********************************.
