Hello *****,
I'm Pratap 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've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the refund for the returned item from Order ID: *******************.
I apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced in this case.
Once the carrier has received your return package, it takes a while to arrive at our *************** In most situations, returns are processed by Amazon in 14 days. In some situations, it may take up to 60 days to be processed. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.
If you haven't been issued a refund after 60 DAYS FROM RETURN DATE, we recommend that you reach out to the carrier that you used to return the item to Amazon.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance in this matter.
Regards,

Amazon indicated that a delivery attempt for order 111-7377029-5469800 was made at 6:05 am on 06/05/2023, however, I received no phone call and there was no person on my premises at or around that time. I then talked to ***** at around 8:00 am who said it would be delivered today, then again with ******** at 9:00 am who said delivery would be attempted today, then again with ***** at 12:00 pm who sent me an email stating she would escalate this to the delivering station to deliver today. I just got off the phone (it is now 5:32pm) with ******** who said no escalation was ever sent to the delivering station and she can't send one.It is alarming that Amazon provided falsified information on a delivery attempt and then did nothing to correct it, even after I contacted them four times today.Business Response

I'm sorry for the delay caused with the delivery of the order #***-7377029-5469800 and for the assistance provided by our support team.
I've checked our records and see that the order was delivered on June 6, 2023. For the delay caused and with regards to the delivery service provided by our logistics, I've passed the details of the incident to our logistics team as a strong feedback to prevent something like this from recurring.
For the delay caused, I've issued a $5.00 promotional credit to your Amazon.com account, which will automatically apply the next time you order an eligible item sold and shipped by Amazon.com.

Note that, promotional credits are one-time use credits and once applied to an order are nonrefundable.
The promotional credit doesn't apply to items offered by other sellers on the Amazon.com website and won't cover the purchase of gift cards, sales tax, gift wrap, or additional shipping costs.
Thank you for your understanding. Have a great rest of the day!Regards,

Honorable BBB.org!I appeal to you as the last resort and really hope that you will help to restore justice. I am *******************************, an Amazon Seller. My Seller (Business) Account on ****************** [VANZHASHOP storefront, e-mail address: ************************* merchant token A265S48KX8GH1A]As you may know, Amazon conducts a massive check of sellers [because of INFORM Consumers Act)], including their business addresses.

Because of this, postal planes do not fly to *******! Therefore, I simply do not have the opportunity to receive a postcard on which the verification code will be indicated. And without providing this code, my account may be blocked! Doing business on Amazon.com is a source of income for my family and the main professional activity of my employees.I ask you to influence Amazon and replace this check with another type. For example, I can provide utility bills to confirm the reality of this address. I ask you once again to pay attention to the fact that there is a WAR in *******! I can't get a card!!I've collected a package of documents that allows identifying my personality [passport, bank statement] and I am ready to provide any other documents needed for verification.I am an honest seller and employer and I want to continue working for the benefit of the country by developing my business, saturating the market with necessary goods, and creating additional jobs.

Honorable BBB.org! I appeal to you as the last resort and really hope that you will help to restore justice! I'm Amazon Seller, *************************, email ************************* Merchant Token A265S48KX8GH1A. I am writing to address a critical issue with my Amazon seller account that has been causing considerable frustration and financial strain. Specifically, ASINs B0CHFWG7PP and B0CH8LJRZG have been listed as inactive (out of stock) despite having more than 200 units in stock. This issue has persisted, and I have already incurred substantial storage fees for goods that are not active due to what appears to be an internal conflict within Amazon's system. The situation has raised several concerns: 1. Inactive ASINs with Sufficient Inventory: As mentioned, I have consistently maintained a substantial inventory of over 200 units for these ASINs. It is perplexing that they remain inactive despite the available stock. 2. Unjust Storage Fees: I have been billed over $400 in storage fees for goods that are not even active on the platform due to this internal conflict. This is not only unjust but also places an undue financial burden on my business. I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this issue. I have made efforts to manage my inventory effectively, but this situation is beyond my control and has resulted in significant financial losses. I am willing to provide any additional information or documentation you may require to expedite the resolution process. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, as it will allow me to continue offering my products on the Amazon platform without further disruptions.Business Response

I purchased 3 Macbook Air Laptops from Amazon.ca on March 23 - Order# ***-8324756-7107458 for the total of $4,610.20, they arrived shortly after on March 26. I then choose to return them back to Amazon because I purchased Macbook Pros from Apple directly instore instead, so I returned these 3 back to Amazon. I contacted Amazon and they started a return for me, I went to the post office and dropped off the return back to Amazon. I was issued a tracking number by *** for the return which is, 1ZE397E02038223465. The return was delivered back to them April 27, 2023. I waited around 2 weeks for the return to process, I got nothing. I contacted over and over to Amazon, they gave me ZERO help. They just kept telling me please wait, rest assured your return will be processed once its gone through our facility. It is now June 5th, 2023 with no refund email for my order that I had returned so long ago, theyve had more than enough time to process my return and i've been just left behind with no answer, my countless amount of times of reaching out to them has gone unanswered, when I did everything right as the customer. This is by far some of the worst customer service ive ever recieved in my life and I don't know what to do at this point.Business Response

I tried the 30 day free amazon prime in September2022. I cancelled it before the 30 days was up. They took the money out in October anyway $15.89. Then again they tried twice on Nov 6th and 9th not enough money in account. I called, they said it was cancelled. On December 3rd they took out $31.78 two months worth. I was buying christmas gifts using my sons amazon so they wouldn't charge me and thought this was from that but $15.89 plus $15.89 equals $31.78 to much of a coincidence. December 18th tried to take it out again. No money in the cash app. Called again took my cash app card off the website. December 26th they took $15.89 out of the cash app and I didn't notice. February 5th tried again. not enough cash. And now June5th at 12:45 a.m. How many other people are amazon doing this to? This cannot be just an error they are making multiple millions of dollars on people who tried there service and cancelled. The only account identification I can see is my name *****************. And when I went into the subscription part for amazon prime it invites me to try it for 30 days.Business Response

We are sorry to hear that you were charged for Prime Membership.
Upon reviewing, I can confirm that Prime Membership is already cancelled on 11/09, post which we didn't charge you for your Prime on your Amazon account.
Further, I can see that we have refunded for previous month charges.
I've Successfully refunded ***** USD against transaction D01-7807523-6861034 for the month of October and no other charges pending from our end to process a refund.
I recommend you dispute this charge directly with your bank for December and February charges.
The reason it invites for Prime is it's already cancelled.

Greetings,I want to inform you that Amazon Support has mistakenly deactivated my account and has not given proper attention to my appeal process, as guaranteed by the Amazon Services ******** Solutions Agreement.Initially, my account was deactivated due to an association with another seller account that does not belong to me. As Amazon Support informed me during a call, this issue has been resolved. Please check the internal Amazon system to confirm this. However, as additional evidence of the erroneous deactivation due to association with an unknown seller account, I have attached the following supporting documentation:-- EIN;-- Utility Bill;-- ******** Tax Receipt;-- Driver's License;-- Articles of Organization.After that, Amazon Support notified me during a call that I must provide receipts or invoices from Under Armour and *********************** as proof of authenticity for my products. I have attached a PDF file titled "Receipts" where I have compiled the necessary information requested by Amazon Support. I have highlighted the relevant details for your convenience. Please review it.Thus, I have provided all the requested information to Amazon Support. Based on the above, I request the reactivation of my seller account, as I have proven the erroneous nature of the deactivation. Further retention of my account in a "deactivated" status would violate the Amazon Services ******** Solutions Agreement. I sincerely hope for the highly qualified assistance of Amazon Support to avoid enforcement action on my part. Many thanks for considering my request.Business Response

On 4/10/23, I ordered 100 sets of clear name holders with lanyards for a conference. We did not have the turnout we expected so I returned these and Amazon acknowledged they were received on 5/12/23. Shortly after that I received an email that said there was a problem with returning the money to my account and it sent me through the run-around of unhelpful links on the Amazon site. None of these links get me to a resolution to my problem nor do I get a human to help resolve this. The ************ number also sends me around with no help or resolution to the problem. I tried contacting the vendor who told me that Amazon handled the refunds and sent me the same useless links. Amazon still has my money. I have no one to speak with. The automated system and "chat" are automated and provide zero assistance.I need a human. Amazon should not be allowed to provide no human interface for customer service.I need my refund processed back to me.Business Response
