      I ordered an Apple Watch from Amazon on 4/11/23 for which I was charged $356.14.. The wrong watch was shipped to me and arrived 4/19. Though I immediately knew it was the wrong watch, the customer service people required that I unbox the watch and photograph it to prove it was not the watch I ordered. I did this but they would not accept a return at one of their centers. Rather they sent me a *** label and required that I return it to them that way claiming they did not have to refund my purchase for 4-6 weeks. I received the labeling from Amazon 3-4 days after this and brought the package to *** within 2-3 days. *** confirmed delivery of the watch back to Amazon on 4/29/23. I contacted Amazon on May 1 or 2 to confirm receipt of the watch and then again 3 or 4 times over that week. No one at their customer service could or would venture when or how I would be refunded but just kept parroting that they had 4-6 weeks before they needed to escalate my refund. They told me I would be contacted by the appropriate department. Since that time I have not been contacted and have not heard anything about my refund nor have I received it. Their website does indicate they have had the watch back since 5/3. I again tried today to reach someone who could give me information about my refund and after going through 4 different people, the fourth of whom claimed to be in customer service leadership, I got no further info, only a promise that I would hear from the appropriate department within 72 hours. It has been more than a month since I have returned an item which was not properly handled by Amazon to begin with, and I still have received no compensation for the cost of the item let alone for the hours I have spent on the phone with poor customer service.

      Monthly grocery delivery of order 111-2171321-7923455 (smartfood white cheddar 40 pc) placed on May 4 2023 was NOT delivered. Instead the wrong item (cheetos scorching 40 pc) was delivered. When we asked Amazon CS to replace the wrong item w the correct item we were told the system will not let them ship it even though the item is in stock. When we asked for a manager a "team member" confirmed the restriction. Amazon has removed the ability for there CS to properly correct Amazon errors. We were offered a refund only and would have to re order the item orig priced and paid $11.88 but now would cost ** $21.86 to re order. In the past Amazon would apologize and ship the replacement next day. Amazon is now showing there true colors. We would like to have the product we ordered shipped.

      Hi, February 25th 2023: Amazon Order # ***-3744784-9748203 Total 350,53$ (PIC 1)Order mattress size full brand Crystli 10inch 321,43$ Invoice mattress only # CA311CYO7Q01 (PIC 2)March 2nd 2023: mattress deliver Nouara Mezar 3-********************************************************* I Request the vendor to be his word, refund full 321.43$ of the bed within 24h base May 18th email (PIC 3), before he went out of communication as if he want to drag me to pass my deadline guaranty, I think I have up to June 9th. He was hard to reach and slow to respond emails in the first place (PIC 4&5&6).Around 45 days I add enough, the mattress was too hard to my back, getting pain instead of felling rest and sleep on my sofa most of the time lately as if that have something wrong with the spring, as this mattress come out of a box after all.I called Amazon to process mattress return and shock to hear I pass my 30 days guaranty March 31st with them. I said in the world of companies selling mattress, it request you to keep it over 30 days to be sure before to return it, so the guaranty should be extend. They said not worry; I have the rest of the guaranty with the manufacture.Amazon can give me back the full refund, then they can deal with the vendor by asking him half or 2/3 back as they were tow responsible for the guaranty, what is unusual and a nightmare as a client as I am stock with the mattress. Nowhere is mentioned the guaranty (PIC 7&8) was split and that require dealing with a manufacturer in ***** with no branch of the companies in North American. Wayfair.** sale the same mattress 100nights and own fully the guaranty. Last call Amazon June 2nd, try again to get help as promise on their email (PIC 9&10) to investigate on the vendor if need to, as he didnt refund me. They refuse to cooperate as I pass their 30 days guaranty, unacceptable customer service, they praise Crystli bed best Amazons choice and in same time not welling to do anything with them.

      Amazon is a ginormous corporation that is too big for its britches. I have a single product that caused my entire account to be suspended. *** tried multiple ways to present my case to them to no effect. I made a mistake and purchased this product from what I thought was a reputable supplier, *******.com. I provided my invoice to Amazon but have been denied repeatedly. I had no idea I was not purchasing directly from ******* or that it was possible inauthentic products might be sold there! It is not an auction site or a weird guy off the back of a truck.Amazons efforts to drive counterfeits to zero is impacting on our account. A mistake cost me my entire business! It seems to me they would rather ban small businesses from their platform than do any research or think critically about mitigating circumstances. I will never purchase from *******.com again as a consumer let alone stock inventory for sale knowing that I could be purchasing counterfeit products!I hope Amazon will look at the big picture and see how they are affecting small businesses.Thank you,************************* Prosperity Pals

      My name is *****************************. I have an Amazon seller account which is deactivated due to policy violation on Seller Policy and Seller Code of Conduct and Dropshipping Policy last July ************************************************************************************************************************ negotiate with Amazon to reactivate my account. We are operating and using a dropshipping model in our business, as per Amazon policies and guidelines. This is deemed acceptable as long as we can guarantee that only our name is identified on all our items. Unfortunately, in our recent transaction, our team failed to do a thorough quality check on the items before they were shipped to our customers, which triggered our current policy suspension on Seller Policy and Seller Code of Conduct and Dropshipping Policy. We are proactively sending our appeals to help reactivate our account and improve our store operations. From the start of my business, my team and I can guarantee that we have always abided by the policies and guidelines of the Marketplace. We are asking your office to help us negotiate with Amazon to reactivate our account to continue selling on the platform because this is my only way of generating income. I hope that you can back up my business by reaching out to Amazon and persuading them to give us another chance to be part of the Amazon marketplace again. Thank you for taking the time to read my request!
