I purchased a 2 piece dress and sweater from the ***************************** which was featured from Niufaashion - Amazon Marketplace. The order was placed on 4/6 Order-ID *******************. While checking Amazon for another order I saw that they had this order marked as delivered on 4/18. I called Amazon and was told they would forward the complaint to the seller and that's all they could do. I received an email from Niufaashion - Amazon Marketplace which states it was delivered. I've reached out to Amazon several times and also to Niufaashion via the email and did not get a response. I would like proof that the package was delivered just like all other delivery done by Amazon. I would also like a refund or the merchandise delivered and me signing for it. As it stands now, I believe Niufaashion is a scam and is using ***************************** and Amazon to pull customers in.Customer Answer

Purchased an Ipad Pro **** inch 2022 version from amazon on 4/23/23 and my order was flagged for suspicious activity, I called to confirm the order was placed by me and they said the product would be shipped like normal. Delivery was scheduled for 4/25/23 and I still had not received by order by 4/27/23 nor was I informed on my order shipping. I called again on 4/27/23 to confirm what was going on that was told that they had no record of my confirming it was me and that the note had been made and that the payment would process and ship within 72 hours. Called again on 4/30/23 and was told that the item could not be shipped do to the flagging and that I would need to cancel the item and order it again. I tried to cancel the item and received an error stating it could not be canceled so I contacted customer service again on 5/1/23 and was told they could not manually cancel the order either, when I asked for a supervisor I was promptly hung up on. I called Amazon again and spent over an hour with a new customer support specialist that informed me there is nothing that can be done. They cannot ship my item or cancel it and that I would have to just wait a week after I was told that same thing the previous week.Business Response

I have uploaded a gift card to my amazon account (only one) and they sent me an email telling me that they will remove my account and not give me a refund. Amazon cards are actually used by Amazon to defraud their customers. I sent them the receipt from the person who sold it to me and my account is still blocked. Please I need help. They have scammed me more than 100 dollars. The Amazon email that they have scammed is: ********************* It is unfair that he is empowered to keep his clients money with the excuse of receipts.Business Response

Hello,
Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.

I am rejecting this response because:Please give me access to the account to use my money and close the account again. Your terms and conditions are unfair. If I put a sign on the door of my house and say that if someone steps on my sidewalk I have the right to take their cell phone without return, I am committing a robbery even if I put up a sign, it is wrong. I understand the decision not to have me as a customer but first let me access my money, make purchases with it, complete them and then block me permanently.

I am rejecting this response because:
I didn't know you couldn't buy gift cards and load them on Amazon. Please have mercy! Do not keep my money! The terms and conditions are abusive, there should be a pop-up window that warns that if the card to be charged is purchased from a third party, they will suspend the account. It is not normal for Amazon to steal giftcard money, why don't you partially block my account and prevent me from uploading giftcards? Or ask for kyc to upload giftcards but always allowing access to the money already uploaded. You are dirtying Amazon's image with attitudes like this. Please respect my property. Money is hard to earn here in *********.

Were sorry to hear that you havent received your shipment from order #***-4642546-0388255.
Based on the age of the order, reliable tracking information is no longer available through the carrier. Because of this, we won't be able to provide a replacement/refund for this order at this time.
Amazon is not 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 are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier."

After ordering products for my 10 year old daughters birthday party, and waiting until the guaranteed delivery date, Amazon suddenly canceled the order. When we called they then also refused to issue a refund. They had apparently damaged the items in shipping. They refuse to replace the items and ship by guaranteed delivery date but also refuse to issue a refund. Claiming we must wait weeks until they receive the items. Mind you, these items were never delivered so there is no way for them to be "returned" and therefore nothing to "wait for". Amazon has stolen my money. In addition they are incredibly rude and have wasted several hours of my time.Business Response
