I would like to resolve the carrier issue we are having in my building. I am the manager, and Amazon carriers refuse to do the job that is in their contract. They have violated multiple times the policy onsite, several packages have been stolen due to their negligence. I need to speak to someone that handles the policy given out to the carriers, because they are not following policy, and tons of money has been lost due to them not delivering packages promtly.Business Response

I purchased a laptop computer through Amazon which was through a third party seller "Delca Electronics." - ORDER # ***-5737123-3823415 The item sent by the seller was not the item ordered. It was immediately packaged back up and returned by me.This is where the problems started. First I had to take a photo of the item to "prove" that it was the wrong laptop before returning which I did. Amazon verified it was the wrong item.Next the item in route through *** was delayed for several days due to it being sent by *** to the wrong place. After finally arriving - there is no notation on the Amazon site that it was received by the seller. I had to call to confirm. There is no transparency in the process. It should be clearly noted that the item was received by the seller. I'm now told that I will likely have to wait up to 30 days to receive a refund! The whole process is very unfortunate. In the decades of using Amazon I have never had an issue. Their customer service has become rude and unprofessional. I'm left simply hoping I will receive my money back. What is my recourse if the seller doesn't refund me? Amazon should process my refund immediately. While it is a third party selling on their platform they should be accountable and make customers whole. This seller sent an inferior laptop clearly strategically while charging for a more expensive version that they didn't send. No action has been taken against the seller. And I am awaiting hundreds of dollars in limbo for something that was not my fault.Business Response

I ordered a trampoline via Amazon from CalmMax *he trampoline came with a * connector (that holds the hoop that holds the trampoline and also holds up/stabilizes the legs) that broke during set up with no tension. It appeared too thin and poorly made for its job but I allowed for a replacement. *he broken connector was replaced and the trampoline was set up. During the first week of use, my child was on the trampoline when two more * connectors broke that caused a large leg to collapse. If I had not been watching my child, she could have been seriously injured.I am very concerned this product defect could severely injure or kill a child I have told CalmMax that. *hey offered to send me enhanced t connectors but I do not know if they are issuing a recall/replacement to previous buyers I have told Amazon my concerns but their policy is they will not investigate without multiple complaints. *he next complaint could be the result of a serious injury to a child and that is not acceptable to **** would also like to report CalmMax here as I want this safety issue resolved for other families, I have taken down and intend to return my product. I think Amazon continuing to offer a defective product without warning people is egregious For clarificaation: the * connectors hold together the hoop that holds the trampoline surface and hold the slots where one leg that is shaped like an upside down U and functions like two legs- but is technically oneBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:while I appreciate the refund, the safety of prior and future product users of this trampoline is my biggest concern and why I filed the complaint
This product needs to be recalled or new parts need to be sent to previous buyers

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 Silver Ticket Products STR Series 6 Piece Home Theater Fixed Frame 4K / 8K Ultra HD, HDTV, HDR.
I apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced in this case.
Once the carrier receives your return package, it can take a while to arrive at our *************** In most situations, returns are processed by Amazon in 14 days. In some situations, it may take longer. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.
Although the return has been marked as delivered, the ************** has to complete the return processing before the refund is initiated.
As soon as your return is processed, we request a refund to your payment method and send you an email confirmation. Once we issue your refund, it takes additional time for your financial institution to make funds available in your account. Refer to our Refunds page for more information:

On April 6,2023 I found an unauthorized order $592.92 was placed when I check my credit card history. It was from a Amazon prime card, and I found the order(a pixel ****** phone) which was achieved, it was not delivered, so I call Amazon customer service 2 times told them there is fraud order and asked to cancel the delivery and they said they couldnt do that, they let me to contact to *** to cancel the delivery and I did that, but the *** said they couldnt do that too. Then I called Amazon again, they said the only way is ask bank to dispute the transaction. So I did , and get my money back, and then they suspended my account, I paid ********************** for year and couldnt use it anymore, and I couldnt login my account to check history.At first they said it only took 24 hours for processing, but for now its about 20 days.

Dear Better Business Bureau,First of all, I appreciate this opportunity to request assistance from your office regarding an issue I have with Amazon.com.I am ************************* and I am an Amazon Seller. My seller account, ******************** Giant, had been deactivated due to a violation of Amazons Drop Shipping Policy and the Seller Code of Conduct for a year now. I have been constantly reaching out to Amazon, appealing for my account to be reactivated and for my funds to be released. I know you understand my frustrations since it has been a year of constantly communicating with Amazon and sending appeals in the hopes that my issue would be resolved.However, it seems like Amazon has already turned their back on us. Despite our constant efforts in submitting a Plan of Action, Amazon has been telling ** the same thing over and over again and would not give ** the exact reason why our appeals keep getting denied. I have provided everything in the appeal as requested by them and have presented a Plan of Action that would guarantee 100% compliance to the policies, yet my seller account remains deactivated as of this writing. On top of that, Amazon has been holding on to my funds, and I am afraid that at this point, they will not release the remaining funds I have in my seller account. Which is why I am asking for your help reaching out to Amazon and bringing this issue to their attention. Thank you very much for your time, and I am looking forward to resolving this issue with Amazon, so I can return to business as soon as possible.Sincerely,************************* Marketplace Giant ***************************Business Response

Please, note! My violations on the mentioned above ASINs have the same Root Cause. So, my Corrective and Preventive Actions cover the Root Cause of the abovementioned violations. Therefore, I provided information about all ASINs that violated the Anti-Counterfeiting Policy.I have taken the necessary corrective measures to resolve this issue quickly. Also, I described my preventive measures to avoid similar issues in the future. I indicated all this information in my Plan of Action, which I attached to my complaint. Please review it. Also, I attached the Authorization Letter. Please, review my Plan of Action to get information about why I attached this Authorization Letter.Based on the preceding, I request Amazon Support to reactivate my seller account, as I have resolved the above violations.
