113-5599006-6921844 I am escalating a complaint on the above order number for Amazon. I have requested to return the item and received an authorization slip attached below stating that I will receive a return mailing label within 2 days in which I never received.I requested a pick up from Amazon which Im having a hard time with getting and I am currently pregnant. I cannot lift these boxes and take them to any carrier on my own. I have advised their customer service that the items do not fit in my room and they need to be returned and because of that reason they will not provide a shipping label when I was initially advised that I would be provided the shipping label. I need these items picked up and a shipping label provided in order for me to send them back. **************** reps are telling me to ship them back myself and pay for shipping. Also, that if I pay for the shipping they will reimburse me. This is very unprofessional as I have been a loyal customer with ********************** and I make frequent purchases. If they are willing to reimburse me for shipping then they should be willing to help me with the return label, shipping costs, and arrange for the carrier to pick these items up.Your assistance is needed.Thank youBusiness Response

Hello,
The seller of the Order 113-5599006-6921844 has sent return instructions through our Buyer-************************* Buyer can see this message in the Buyer-Seller Messages section of the ************** on Amazon.com. The seller has provided the return pick up details which has been provided to buyer. The A-to-z Guarantee claim has been temporarily withdrawn. If the return pick up is failed or return reaches the seller and buyer does not receive refund, claim will be reopened and buyer assisted further.

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon gave me a very hard time about getting my labels. I purchased the item through Amazon and I hold them responsible. I finally received labels after a week of dealing with them. I was highly stressed out and I am pregnant. I returned the items and still have not received my refund.

Hello Mill Couture,
I'm ***** 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.
Ive checked the transactions on your account associated with the email address that you provided and couldn't find any charges for any subscriptions. Since the credit card in question is not listed as a payment method, I am not able to investigate further and recommend you dispute this charge directly with your bank. To avoid any additional unauthorized charges, I also recommend asking your bank about the possibility of having the card reissued.

Dear ***/*****,I am writing to bring to your attention a system error encountered while creating an employee account on ******************** using the email address ********************** Regrettably, this account was mistakenly locked as a result of what appears to be an automated response triggered by the simultaneous creation of multiple employee accounts from our office's IP address.It is crucial to highlight that we have not engaged in any wrongdoing. Each of our employees requires their own Amazon account to efficiently order business supplies necessary for packaging and shipping our products. Our reliance on Amazon's services is integral to the smooth operation of our business.Despite receiving an error message indicating that the account had been locked for alleged misuse of Amazon's services and the expectation of receiving an email with further information, no such email was received even after thoroughly checking all relevant folders.I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter. As a respected advocate for consumer affairs, I believe the Better Business Bureau can effectively facilitate communication with the appropriate department at Amazon to promptly reinstate the locked account ************************ Restoration of access to this account is vital for our employees to continue ordering the essential supplies essential for our business operations.Please inform me if any additional information or documentation is required to support our case.

Amazon has completely stolen my money. They are totally non-receptive and won't help me out, so unfortunately I have to go through BBB.I have been struggling lately, so my friend sent me a $25 amazon gift card to email address ********************* I had never used Amazon before, so I signed up with my phone number ************. I tried to buy a $25 ********* gift-card. The order went through, but after 3 hours I hadn't received the code. So I contacted customer service and they said (and I quote) "I'm sweet but was a glitch in OUR system." So they refunded me. Then I tried buying a door dash gift card (because I was hungry and had no food.) Immediately after I tried buying it, Amazon locked my account and said they need more information about the gift card. So I sent in the information (which was a screen capture of the gift card email.) According to Amazon, that should have been sufficient, but It wasn't. They completely locked my account and said "we will reach out to you within 24 hours with the next steps." It's now been 72 hours and I haven't heard anything. I have called customer service 6 times and each time they say "we have to reach out to our accounts team but they will reach out to you in 24 hours" well it's been WAYYYY over 24 hours and there's nothing. Zip. Zero.Amazon has stolen this money and I demand a resolution, even if it's refunding the original buyer of the gift card. They will not get away with this. I have attached the original email and the original recipe that was sent to the original buyer.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: First, that isn't a real response. It's computer generated response, with a phoney name. Second, there customer service associate hung up the phone without providing me with a resolution that is unacceptable. Third, the purchase was a gift for my husband's birthday. Because of Amazon's "inconvenience," I did not have time to go purchase another gift (****'s were for Him).It's obvious that Amazon isn't the same as it once was in the beginning. The ***** has set-in and customer service is no longer a priority. Especially when a customer service assocation is allowed to hang up on a customer. I will no longer do business with this company and will encourage anyone who will listen to do the same.
BBB - you may close this complaint. I am moving on. Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter.

I am rejecting this response because:I feel that since Amazon is an online only retailer, they should hold their products to better standards and/or a better return policy. Amazon has become a retailer of very poor quality products and now I have a computer that went dead just outside a 30 day return and is now useless. Amazon has caused the decline of many local businesses causing a monopoly in the retail world. I feel more than half of the products they sale are either inaccurate listed and/or are very poor quality. I have had tons of other items break or become unusable around a 6 month average including a bed frame that collapsed in the middle of the night (I never returned these items as it was much past 30 days). For this high end desktop, there is no reason it should have went dead after 45 days of normal use, which is why I had to make a stand and report this to the BBB.
I hope the BBB documents Amazons reputation of selling poor products and their poor business practices for handling situations such as mine.

Bought an Amazon gift card for my son for Christmas. He loaded it onto his account December 24 when he got it for Christmas Eve after you loaded onto his account he is able to spend the additional amount they had on there but once it got to his hundred dollar gift card, Amazon put a hold onto account after making 26 attempts by calling customer service. His account was closed and they said that theres no way he can get his balance of 100 and something from his gift card back.I got the receipt of the gift card purchase and I provided them everything even my sons permit which I have joint custody of him he has two different addresses, and I think thats one of the reasons why Amazon did not lift the hold on his account, but I can provide a tax document with the address on his account, which is my address, and documentation that they wanted and they still refused to give him his money back or to re-open his account so he could use his remaining balance.
