I ordered things from Amazon on May 18, expected delivery on *****. I was told it was delivered on the 24th by Amazon. However, it was not. The tracking show it was delivered to just off I -84 in ********** area. I live in ********. When I contacted them, I was told they checked with the driver and it was delivered. My only option was to file a police report as the package stolen. I informed them it was not stolen but rather not even delivered to the correct state or time zone. I was then told that was all they could do and hung up on me. I was later sent a message from them telling me how to file a complaint. I was denied a refund.Business Response

I've reviewed your complaint details and I'm sorry to know that you've haven't received your order #***-9011592-0960251.
Firstly, the information you received from our customer service team is correct. I've investigated with our shipping department and we've found that your package was delivered on Wednesday, May 24.
In this case, to proceed further we would request you to file a police report and contact ** back when the report is complete.
We are unable to accept police reports that are in pending or any other incomplete status. The police report must be filed before 45 DAYS AFTER THE DELIVERY DATE and provided in English to be considered for review. Only one police report is needed for all orders that are part of the same shipment. A separate police report is needed for orders delivered in different shipments.
Thank you for your understanding.

I am rejecting this response because: the package was not delivered to the correct address despite what the carrier stated. The tracking does not even put the package in the right part of the country much less the right state or address (I live in ********, the package was last reported delivered somewhere in **********).
This is lack of regard for providing any service much less quality service.

SELLER-LEVEL.I want to inform that Amazon Support is not acting appropriately to protect intellectual property rights. My brand has encountered copyright infringement. A seller named "jiangjunqi" (Merchant ID *************** sells items on ASIN B01M2A4IK1 (******** marketplace) without authorization from the copyright owner, ************. ************ is the photographer from my team. A seller named "jiangjunqi" uses the copyright for commercial purposes, namely for selling items. Such use of the copyright requires authorization from the copyright owner. However, the seller named "jiangjunqi" has not received any authorization letter from the copyright owner, ************. Additionally, a seller named "jiangjunqi" has not entered any licensing agreement with ************. Therefore, the seller named "jiangjunqi" is using intellectual property, benefiting from it, thereby violating intellectual property rights. I have tried to convey the abovementioned information to Amazon Support by filing a copyright infringement report (complaint ID ***********). However, I received an unsatisfactory response and inaction from Amazon. Later, I escalated my case (case ID ************. However, Amazon Support has also shown inaction. Here is a link to the website where the original works are located: ************************************************************************************ Our brand respects the intellectual property of other sellers.

Greetings,
Please close complaint IDs ******** AND ******** as my requests are no longer relevant. The requests mentioned in complaint IDs ******** AND ******** have already been resolved by the business, so I see no point in continuing the discussion between me as a consumer and Amazon as a business.
Thank you for your active participation in resolving my complaint!

I am an Amazon.ca seller. I've been selling for about 3 years and my account health is pretty good. Amazon suspended my account on the grounds that I was selling fast and asked me for some documents. I sent all the requested documents and my account was reactivated within 1 week. After 1 month, they suspended my account because of the fast sale again and did not reactivate and do not accept the documents. I contacted Amazon Account Health Specialist team many times and asked what I should do. They told me to review all my orders and refund any undelivered orders. I reviewed **** orders one by one and refunded 21 orders. After I made a refund for these orders, they locked my account and said suspicious transaction was made. I haven't been able to login to my account for 1 month and I can't contact them. They don't answer my emails. I have $90,000 in my account and all that money belongs to me. Since I can't log into my account, I can't talk to them and request money.Business Response

I contacted Amazon the day of the expected delivery. Next I contacted Amazon to make them aware that the delivery was not received and that the delivery photo was no my home . Amazon insistently demanded that the address was correct while avoiding the simple fact that the delivery home was ultimately incorrect. Far worse. I wrote the emailed attached and was reassured someone would reach out to me in 6 hours following receipt of the original email inquiry to no avail 3 days later. After I called and chatted I was met with such condescending negative attitudes from their customer service team (see chat) photos. All I ever asked was for a fair and just resolution which is to replace my order.Business Response

*******,
Good morning and thank you for prompt response and efforts to properly communicate. Your customer service team are the main purpose of the escalation of this complaint given the circumstances as follows:
1. Failure to initiate communication with within the 6 hour timeframe promised to me on 3 prior attempts (see attachments).
2. Secondly, when communication was initiated via phone and Amazon chat, the customer was met with hostile communication and the pinnacle of unprofessional, harsh, and condescending communication furthermore with no offer of just solutions to me a loyal customer.
3. Thirdly, accountability is the central to this matter Upon request, no policy on Amazon carrier mishandling and loss was provided to the customer. The customer service agent refusal to provide contact information to your managements chain of command.
4. Fourth and finally, the chat was informed by your customer support member to contact local authorities as if they are in direct interest of your company. Given the circumstances, I dont find this condescending behavior a proper reflection of your company.
It is very disheartening that this has to be the means of a viable solution. However, *******, I proceed with gratitude for your actions to provide a fair solution. I look forward to your response.

Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a REPLACEMENT/REFUND for this order at this time.
At this time, Amazon isn't able to resolve shipping problems after delivery, as outlined on our website in our Conditions of Use, noted under 'Risk of Loss' which states: "All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract.

I made an order on Amazon using Amazon Gift card currency. While doing so, I added 270$ to my amazon account; but a few minutes after making my purchase my account was suspended; so I made sure to do everything they asked for, and even after they still didnt unlock my account. So basically now theres an account with 270$ of my money that I cant use, nor access. What am I supposed to do?Business Response

My account was locked multiple times in the past month, and I spent a lot of time to unlock it but never being resolved. Simply because I'm trying to purchase any gift card. The customer service are rude and full of discrimination. They asked me to repeated email address and phone number again and again (more than 5 times), pretend they didn't understand it, and simply end the phone with "I couldn't understand you". E.g. For letter X in my email, I used multiple way to confirm with them, including X for X-ray, the letter between W and Y in wxyz. They just don't listen and pretend they didn't understand, the truth is they just didn't listen. If I don't ask whether they're still there, they just keep silence. In order to unlock my account, I already provided statements for 3 of my credit card, and my utility bill. I don't know what else amazon looking at, maybe my driver license and deed for my house?Business Response

On 4/12/2023, I discovered that there were 16 different unauthorized transactions from Amazon.com on my checking accounts for a total of $575.00. I contacted ***** to disputed the charges since I haven't purchased anything from Amazon for years. On 5/25/2023, I was notified by ***** that 14 of the charges were deem valid while the other 2 are not. This is impossible since I never made those charges. ***** rep told me that there is nothing he can do. I contacted Amazon and provided them with one of the transaction reference number. I was then told that someone from an unknown/ non-verifiable account made those transactions for gift cards. The account that made those transaction were not under my name. Amazon said since they cannot verify the account, there is nothing they can do. They recommended disputing the charges with Chase bank.Here are the reference #:1. HS6ID21H0 2. HS1Tt8Ag1 3.
