I placed an order on the Amazon app on 6/12/2023. The order included a Green ****** with stand and a Bluetooth headset. I paid the highest shipping price to ensure my items would be delivered the next day. However, once my order was placed, I received an email advising that only the headphones would be delivered the next day. The purpose of paying extra for next day was because I needed the Greenscreen with stand next day for business. I contacted Amazon's customer service to inquire about ********** date and request a refund for the extra monies I paid to have next day delivery. I was assisted then transferred to another agent who had me on hold for over ************************************************************************ addition, I could hear the agent come back every so often but never acknowledged me. Eventually the agent disconnected the call and no one from Amazon has followed up. I am looking to have the $12. 69 I paid for overnight delivery refunded.Business Response

I have been trying to get this stupid company to FIX whatever is going on with my card that is preventing me from purchasing items with it for nearly a month now. I had been dealt with Synchrony on the issue and they repeatedly state that amazon is the problem and they need to fix the issue on their side of things. I have already missed out on purchasing a mattress for $157 and a drawer that was on sale for about $80. I am tired of dealing with issue with this stupid company and need them to honor my purchase for the mattress I was about to purchase, most especially since I have already tried TWICE to purchase this item at that price. I will not rest until they finally take responsibility and FIX THE ISSUE WITH MY AMAZON CREDIT CARD SO I CAN MAKE PURCHASES!Business Response

Hello *****************,
I am Raman 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 see your concern shared about the declined transactions on the Amazon Store Card on your account around May ***** or so. While we are sorry to hear of the inconvenience you faced, I see that Amazon was not the initiator of the declines.
On the transactions around that date, we received a 05 decline code. This is a common generic decline with no information received from the bank. You can ask the bank about it or look it up online.
In this case, we recommend you add the card all over on your account, taking care that the latest and correct information for the card is used. As an alternative, you could reach the bank for assistance.
While I realize you are frustrated and we are happy to help, I would request you to desist from name calling and work with us towards a solution.
Regards,
Raman R.

I've checked with our returns center and this order needs inspection. Please allow ** to investigate and our team will definitely send you an email confirmation, when once the refund is processed.

I placed an order on June 3rd, 2023 for a product at a price of $99.91.The product should have shipped like any other order, but this one got delayed and I could not be given a specific reason as to why this order was not being processed. I was sent an email asking for my approval of the item that I had ordered which made no sense as I have never received such an email from Amazon before asking for such an action. However I did approve the order and since then its just been issues and excuses from the Amazon associates. I will supply a photo with this bogus email. As I investigated it appears to me the item may have been cancelled by the seller because the price I paid did not reflect the price of the item the next day when the price had changed, Im guessing due to inflation or some other change. The new price is $104.80 and so I had been instructed by the Amazon associate that they could do nothing about my order because it got lost in between something. Not sure exactly what that meant. And just to mention that on June 9th, 2023 I had originally called Amazon to investigate the issue I was experiencing and that associate had told me that my order was damaged in processing and it was the last item left and no more in stock. Yet the website was showing it was in stock and when I told him it was in stock he started telling me another story but I didnt pay attention to closely because I knew something wasnt right and I was being given excuses. Today June 13th, 2023 the associate told me the only option I have now is to cancel my order and redo the order all over again. If placing the order now I will be paying more than what I originally would have paid and I believe my order was cancelled by the seller because of the price.There is a bit of dishonest business practices occurring within Amazon that needs to be investigated. Orders dont just mysteriously get lost in between something as I was told by the Amazon associate on June 13th, 2023.Business Response

Hello ******,
I am Srujan 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'm sorry for the inconvenience caused with the processing of the item purchased in the order #***-0710476-2953808 and for the assistance provided by our support team to help you on this.
I've reviewed the details of the order and see that the order was placed when the item was listed by 'Brownstone Brooklyn', a seller on our website though it was fulfilled by Amazon.
Further, I see that the item is currently out of stock with this seller listing and hence the order was on hold.
In this case, as the item is unavailable with the seller and you still need the item, to help you re-order for the same price, I've applied a $6 Gift Card balance to your account as an exception.
You may cancel the current order and re-order the item at your convenience. Below is the item link for your convenience:

On May 31, 2023 I contacted Amazon customer service regarding two issues. (1) purchases I had made were charged to my account multiple times and (2) I had two charges on my account that I could not match to any purchases. The customer service representative reviewed my account and told me that the charges were only authorized one time, even though she read me what she was reviewing and it was clear that it had authorized multiple times. She failed to resolve the issues, so I disputed the charges through my bank as "duplicate charges." After filing the dispute, amazon FROZE MY PRIME ACCOUNT and sent me to a COLLECTION AGENCY for the amount that I was disputing because they charged me multiples times for my orders. My account has been frozen since June 1, 2023. I have been a Prime member for YEARS with no issues and now I can't use my benefits and have to dispute amazon's error with a collection agency. I contacted the collection agency (TRS) to get an update on my dispute and they told me I have to wait THIRTY DAYS for a response, and wouldn't even tell me if they had all the information needed to review my dispute. So, i tried to called amazon customer service today, June 13, 2023. I requested a call to my cell phone from them, I was transferred to a representative who was driving a car? There was horrible noise in the background and the person had an accent so I could not understand a word she was saying. She asked me to repeat what I needed three times so I hung up. I want my account reviewed, the dispute at TRS completed/resolved because I do not owe Amazon money, they owe me money for 4 duplicate charges and 4 unknown charges on my account. I want my ********************** account unlocked and I was a refund for the time I have been unable to use the benefits I PAY FOR! This whole experience has been unacceptable.Business Response

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'm sorry to hear your account was froze due to account activity.
Upon reviewing, I can confirm that the account has been re-activated and you can place Orders and an E-Mail has been shared as a confirmation on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at 10:01 PM (PDT)
Further, We only charged you once per Order for 3 orders ending with ****, **** and 6668.
When you place an order, we contact your bank for a purchase authorization to verify your checking account but don't actually charge you until the order ships. Some banks may hold funds in your account for these authorizations even if the order is canceled.
Thank you sharing screenshot of statement. As you can see these are not actual charges but pre-authorizations. You'll need to contact your bank for assistance. They can tell you why funds on your account may be unavailable and clarify how long they hold payment authorizations for online orders.
We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I am rejecting this response because: This refund is simply not enough and I will continue to pursue a credit for my Prime membership.
I called and had this issue taken care of on 2 separate occasions and still was wrongfully charged. Luckily, I don't live paycheck to paycheck, so it was not that big of a deal. However, I still had to clear this issue up twice before and have email confirmation from amazon that it was resolved, and still wound up being charged. Unacceptable. Terrible way to treat customers. I am due a credit.
