      I received some hair pills that I didn't order..Previously I recieved the product and recieved my refund. AT the time of me receiving them,,I told the representative that I did not authorize this and did not chose the save and subscribe option and ask for a cancelation of the save and subscribe at that time previously..Now months later,,I recieved not 1 order but 2 of the same order and discovered that it was put on a 3 months delivery on the save and subscribe AGAIN recently.. I called Amazon and they canceled it this time but did not recently As a result of not canceling ,,I received it again..It was automatically coming to me without my knowledge..The first time I ask them to cancel and they did not and instead of it getting cancel,,i recieved 2 which means I'm doubled charged ..I was told its a food product and no refund allowed..I was told it's a non refundable product. AMAZON haven't try to resolve this problem...I went to pick this order up and some of the products are damaged and seals are broken on the bottles ..I discovered this after I picked it up from the shipping address. Ive been a customer for many years and deserves better treatment. Customer Number *******************

      I am writing to express deep concern regarding the abrupt closure of our Amazon.com account associated with the email address ********************** We recently received an email from Amazon stating that, upon reviewing our details, they have decided to close our account, resulting in the cancellation of pending orders. Additionally, they mentioned that further emails regarding this issue may not receive a response.This account closure has taken us completely by surprise, as we firmly believe that we have not engaged in any activities that would warrant such severe action. As the owner of eWarehouseShop.com, we have always strived to adhere to Amazon's terms and policies, maintaining a high standard of conduct in our business operations.We strongly believe that this account closure is the result of a glitch or misunderstanding. Amazon has not provided specific information or explanations regarding the alleged violations that led to the account closure. Consequently, we feel unjustly penalized without an opportunity to address or rectify any potential issues.In light of these circumstances, we kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring a fair and just resolution. As a trusted advocate for consumer affairs, we believe the Better Business Bureau can play a crucial role in facilitating communication between eWarehouseShop.com and Amazon.com, ultimately helping us reinstate our account and understand the underlying cause for this account closure.We affirm our commitment to transparency and ethical business practices, and we are fully willing to cooperate with Amazon to address any concerns they may have. We sincerely hope that this closure is recognized as an unfortunate mistake or technical glitch and that our account can be reinstated promptly. The closure has had significant implications for our business operations, resulting in financial losses and disruptions to our ability to serve our customers effectively.

      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 6/7/2023.

      My Amazon account is on hold, and I have already sent proof of payment for the gift cards I used. However, it doesn't seem to be working. I also contacted Amazon support and they supposedly initiated an investigation, but they were not helpful. I have been stuck. My Amazon account name is Fastguyhernandez, and my email is *************************** My phone number is **************, and my address is ********************************************************************************************************************. Here is proof of the purchased gift cards used in my amazon account with the physical gift cards I also do not have a billing statement. And I would also like to mention that this seems to be a common problem I have seen on the web that many people find it hard to regain access to their accounts.

      My name is *************************.

As a responsible seller, I want to provide you with a concise overview of the situation. Our business operates within the dropshipping model, which is permissible under Amazon's policies as long as our name is associated with all items sold. Unfortunately, a recent oversight in our quality check process led to the shipment of subpar items to customers, resulting in the account suspension. We have taken immediate action to rectify this issue and are proactively submitting appeals to demonstrate our commitment to improving our store operations. Considering that selling on Amazon is our primary source of income, I kindly request your assistance in negotiating with Amazon on our behalf to reinstate our account. Your support would be invaluable in helping us regain our selling privileges and continue contributing to the Amazon marketplace.Thank you for your attention and understanding in this matter. We deeply regret the violation and are genuinely committed to adhering to Amazon's policies and guidelines moving forward. With your intervention, we believe we can provide ample evidence of our dedication and convince Amazon to ***** us a second chance.

      I ordered a pool vacuum on April 19th with a 30 day return warranty. The pool vacuum did not perform as expected and the pool vacuum was returned for a refund. The refund was sent to a gift card for the amount of ********. My husband and myself phoned Amazon to request the gift card amount of $******** be returned to our original form of payment which was split between a gift card and an Amazon store card. The representative notified ** that was possible. The amount was immediately removed from the gift card by Amazon however was never refunded back to the original form of payment. We have spoke to several representatives from Amazon and I have email confirmations from Amazon stating different timeframes as to when the money would be returned. We have no pool vacuum and are out of pocket $********. We cannot get a response and are always told a different timeframe to expect the refund when we call. Please help!

      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 the concern shared on the refund status of your order ending **** and have looked into the matter in detail. We regret any inconvenience here but we have limited options at our end. 

      The refund was successfully processed on Thursday, May 4, 2023 and we sent a refund success email on Thursday, May 4, 2023 at 8:44 AM (PDT). Please reach the bank on the status of the refund, they should be able to assist. In case you still run into issue, you can write to our Charge Inquiries team. You can email them directly at *****************************************.

      Please include:
      - the order number if available
      - the last 2 digits of the payment method
      - the amount of the refund
      - the date of the transaction
      - any other information you find pertinent

      If your account has been closed or canceled and you have another credit card with the same issuing bank, they can normally apply the refund to your new card. If you no longer have a credit card with the issuing bank, they should issue you a refund check.

      I hope this helps.

      Hello,

      We have reviewed the sellers account and we are unable to reinstate their selling privileges.

      We took these actions because the seller has been in violation of our drop shipping policy.

      Under the terms of this sellers agreement with Amazon Services, we removed their selling privileges and placed a temporary hold on any funds in their seller account on September 7, 2022]. We notified the seller of this decision by email on that day.


      Sincerely,

      Hello Will,

      I'm Sandhya 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 complaint details and I understand that you want to cancel the order #***-8374028-5861839.

      Upon checking, I can see that it's a gift item and estimated delivery date given for the order is Wednesday, June 28, 2023. Now that the product entered into advance shipping process.

      Hence we're unable to cancel the order from our end. However, I see that you haven't been charged for this order yet.

      You may see an authorization on your account. When you first place an order, we contact your bank for a purchase authorization to verify your card, but we don't actually charge you at that time. Some banks may hold funds in your account for these authorizations even if you canceled the order. If you contact your bank they should be able to clarify how long they hold payment authorizations for online orders.

      We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

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.
