      I ordered a rc plane from amazon on thursday the 18(provided bank statement as proof) amazon took the funds out of my account on the same day(proof has been submitted) fast forward 4 days later and the item still hasnt shipped. Ive provided proof of my order confirmation as well as proof this item is question is SOLD AND SHIPPED by amazon!Amazon's policy states the items will ship ONCE are received amazon took and received my funds $318 on the same day i placed my order. I have provided proof from my bank that shows amazon received the funds the same day i placed my order and its a COMPLETED transaction!Amazon took my $318 on Thursday the 18th and 4 days later my item still hasnt shipped!! If the item hasnt shipped no funds should be taken, who takes the customers $ and than doesnt ship out the order for another 5 days? How is the item to be delivered to my house by Wednesday if it hasnt shipped by monday? See this is a trick they use, they promise u a delivery date so *** order from them and once u place the order and they get ur money their is really no effort to insure u get ur order by the date the showed! In other words if the item didnt say will arrive on the Wednesday 23rd i wouldnt of ordered it from amazon i would of went to a company who really stands by their words and promises This happenes to me everytime ive ordered from amazon and this time ive had it! They take ur money the same day u order it but it takes another 5 days to actually get the items shipped and anther 5 days to get the item if at all!!I didnt buy a 5$ item its. $318 item that i orderd with the promise from amazon that it would arrive on wednesday the 23rd! Here we are the 21st and the item still hasnt shipped! No package in going to be shipped on monday n delivered 2 days later its IMPOSSIBLE and at this point im tired of amazon lying to customer to get ur business with no real effort to fullfill the promise of delivery day!Mind u the item is IN STOCK, SOLD AND SHIPPED BY AMAZON!

      Purchase thorogood boots from Amazon.com. After 5 month of using the boots they were starting to ripped on the corner of the boot. I contacted Amazon about my concerns and refer me to manufacturer. I contacted thorogood and they told me I needed to contact Amazon for further assistance they would have to warranty claim on the boots. I call Amazon again and they stated that I was outside 30 days window and that I should have read the return or exchange policy. I explained to the Amazon rep that I wanted some assistance and have Amazon contact thorogood about warranty. Amazon said no, they don't do that. My issue is that it was sold and ship by Amazon. I purchased these boots base off the website description. Amazon posting false information to customers and misleading telling that the productcome with manufacturers warrenty, lies. All want is for Amazon to go ahead and contact thorogood to figure out why I was getting the run around with the warranty claim on the boots. Horrible customer service experience, and probably the worst experience I had dealing with Amazon.

      Hello Angel,

      I'm Harasankar 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 and checked the order in question. Upon checking I see that the order was placed on Sunday, December 18, 2022.

      The return window has expired long time ago, at this point we will not be able to accept return for this item. We request you to reach out to the manufacturer for any further assistance in this case.

      Your patience and understanding is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Complaint: 20086793

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I feel that Amazon should step in and contact the manufacturer. They need to assist me since am being told to go through Amazon for warranty issue when I contact thorogood. All I want is the boots repair or replace. Amazon should be liable because their the one that posted boots in their website and provided customer false information on the product, which led to me believing all the information that was advertised for the boots. They need to step in and contact manufacturer, this is not fair at all. If I do not receive a resolution from Amazon or thorogood then I will be seeking to take action at small claims for restitution.
      Sincerely,

      Date of transactions May 20, 2023 On May 20, 2023 Amazon deducted $3.99 from my checking account. A second transaction was made right after by Amazon depositing $3.99. A third transaction was made of Amazon depositing another $3.99. Followed by Amazon again deducting $3.99. This all ***** out in the end. On Sunday May 21, 2023, I contacted Amazon customer service to see what the transaction was for. I was told by Representative ***** that it was for a subscription of Discovery+. I said I was aware that I do subscribe to that. I further on asking why so many transactions were made instead of it being deducted from my account once. Which is the agreement with Amazon, that they deduct the amount once a month. Representative ***** said it was because my bank was denying the transaction. That's obviously not the case as I'm looking at my account and had contacted my bank through chat and no such thing occurred. When I said that was a lie Prity transferred me to Representative ********. ******** said the same thing that it was because my bank was denying the transaction. I insisted that is not what was happening. That the transactions even themselves out and I just wanted to know why the mistakes happened. I was repeatedly told it was a my bank problem and that they only show one transaction so I needed r to screen shot my amazon account showing transactions, it doesnt show those things in your amazon account but in your bank statement. I have the bank statement showing. I repeatedly asked for a manager or someone above ********. They were not understanding what I was asking at all. I want to know why the mistakes happened in my bank account. Again they deducted the payment, gave it back to me twice, then deducted it again. I want to know why the mistake occurred. Mishaps with someone's bank account is a very large concern to me. Again I do understand that the payments even out. I want to know why the mistake happened to begin with. Computer glitch? Human error?

      Hello ******,

      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.

      I've reviewed your complaint and checked with the concerned department in this matter.

      After reviewing your account and the details of the subscription of Discovery+, I can confirm that the charges you've mentioned were not actual charges, there were multiple authorizations on the payment method.

      We request you to reach out to the issuing bank of the payment method, they will help you further in this matter.

      In case they are unable to locate the funds we request you to provide us the charge IDs of all those charges from your account statement.

      A payment descriptor is text that appears on your bank, or credit card, statement, and shows details for which company processed a payment.

      Descriptors could include information such as the company name, date of the charge, and the State where the purchase was made.

      Amazon descriptors will now also include a unique nine-digit Charge ID, which is linked to the charge for your order, or subscription.Using the Charge ID, our customer service team can now help answer your questions about an unknown charge, in a much shorter time.

      For more information about identifying unknown charges on your statement, visit:

      On May 11, 2023, I ordered an expensive pet stroller (appeox $250) but the next day (May 12, 2023) I was notified by Amazon that it had been damaged in transit, and was "undeliverable" A replacement was no longer available. Okay, I asked then that my money be refunded. But I was told that I was still charged and could not be refunded until the item was received back at the warehouse. Remember it had never been received by me or in my possession. I waited until the **** record showed that my item had been returned to the Amazon warehouse, and then several days more. **** records show that Amazon received the item back on May 13, 2023. I called Amazon yesterday May 20, 2023 and was told "their records do not show that it was received" and therefore I would continue to receive no refund. I told them their own website shows the **** information and that I could send that to them if they were somehow not able to *******. They told me I would have to wait to see if their records changed, or that I could call **** to try to resolve the issue. Very unhelpful and dismissive. The order number was ORDER # ***-1448873-4485006. for a Gen7Pets Jogger Pet Stroller, ***, I also attempted to attach a PDF copy of the **** tracking info which includes all the above information on the dates received back to them, but the BBB page kept showing "unexpected error" so I am sending this without. I can provide it if you let me know how.

      I am rejecting this response because: I understand that, but in my defense it wasn't my fault or there's nothing I can do about it or figure out what went wrong. I am basically taking a loss 2 for 1. I don't have the item, nor am I able to receive my refund?

      Sincerely,

      Amazon is requiring Proof of Authenticity (Invoices, Order IDs, or a Letter of Authorization) for products we never stocked or sold. The ASINs appeared in our account but we never bought any inventory so there are no invoices or order IDs. The party/rights owner that filed the complaints was the same party we were working with when we considered selling the brand. We contacted them when we thought about selling the products and they told us the supplier we were going to use was not authorized. When we heard that, we decided not to move forward and did not place an order from our supplier and the rights owner was aware of that when they filed the complaints. We are being penalized for something that never happened. We never had any inventory of the 22 ASINs so how is it that we are guilty of counterfeiting?Amazon has taken action against ** because we thought about selling a brand. We did not engage in counterfeiting so we are asking that you please remove the 22 erroneous violations.

      Hi,

       We have received seller's submission but they do not have sufficient information to reactivate their account.

      The seller has to submit appeals addressing the counterfeit issues.

      An email was sent to them informing them of this decision on 23 May 2023.

      Thanks,

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Hello Amazon,


      The appeal process requires us to provide invoices for the twenty-two ASINs.
      We never bought inventory for the twenty-two ASINs so we do not have any invoices to provide.
      How can we appeal without the invoices?


      We have tried to appeal the counterfeit issues numerous times and have tried to explain that we never stocked the ASINs in question or sold them. We never purchased any inventory which means we do not have invoices to provide. We never stocked or sold the ASINs in question so how could we have counterfeited?


      It is very frustrating to file a complaint explaining why we are having trouble appealing only to have you tell ** we need to appeal. We are asking that you review the matter and understand that we never had any inventory of the ASINs so how is it possible that we counterfeited?


      How can we provide invoices to show authenticity if we never bought inventory? Please take a look at our attached appeal and see what we are trying to say.

      Sincerely,

      I have a Kindle and the serial number is ****************. Recently, I went to use it and it's stuck on the screen that says "Low battery Your Kindle needs to charge before use". I've had it plugged in for more than a day and no changes. I've held the power button down for 20, 40, and 60 seconds with no changes. I've tried multiple cords and no changes and confirmed they work with other devices. I contacted Amazon support and based on their troubleshooting steps and recommendations, they weren't able to fix it. They said it's outside of warranty and as a resolution, I need to buy a new one. I don't agree I should have to buy a new one giving Amazon an additional sale based off of a problem with their device. This issue wasn't due to my actions. I want a replacement of my Kindle device and it doesn't have to be the newest one.
