I have placed the order for this item twice and both times it has been lost. This is the second time I have placed this order, ORDER # ***-1622642-6509823, it was supposed to be delivered 4/25 yet they claimed to have made an attempt but no one called, texted, knocked on my door or rang the door ****. I have called over ten times since asking for a redelivery to which I am told another time or date that never happens or I am told it is lost but when I am transferred they say it will be redelivered. This is absurd. How is amazon losing my packages over and over again and I am getting zero help!Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,I am *******************************. I have an Amazon Seller account which I started in November 2021. Prior to Amazon suspending my account on May 5, 2022, I had only been operating and selling on the Amazon Marketplace for about six (6) months. To help you comprehend my complaint and, perhaps, assist me in negotiating with Amazon to have my account activated, I want to provide your office with a summary of my account status. We operate and use a drop shipping model in our company. According to Amazon policies and guidelines, this is acceptable as long as we can guarantee that only our name is identified on all of our products. Unfortunately, in our most recent transaction, our supplier failed to attach our trademark because we did not have an agreement with the brand owner, which resulted in the suspension of our current policies on Seller Policy, Seller Code of Conduct, and Drop Shipping Policy. For the sake of our account's reactivation and the benefit of our store's operations, we are proactively sending out appeals. My staff and I can attest that since the beginning of our company, we have always complied with the rules and regulations of the Marketplace. Since this is my sole source of income, we are asking your office to assist us in our negotiations with Amazon to have our account reinstated so that we can continue selling on the marketplace. I am hoping you'll support me in my efforts to convince Amazon to give us another chance to participate in the Amazon marketplace. Thank you for the time to read my request!Business Response

I purchased a "MAMNV Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, WiFi/App/Alexa, Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Schedule, 2 in 1 Mopping Robot Vacuum with 230ML Water Tank, Self-Charging, Slim, Ideal for Hard Floor, Pet Hair, Carpet" and "ASURION 2 Year Floorcare Extended Protection Plan $200-249.99" from Amazon on 1/16/2023 (ORDER # ***-4190931-4389837 and ORDER # ***-0244767-8221813). The vacuum was delivered on 1/16/2023. Within 7 weeks it stopped properly functioning. I first contacted Asurion to file a claim, and was directed to file a claim with the manufacturer since I am still within their 1 year warranty period. On 3/9/2023 I emailed us-*********************** to request a replacement machine under their written 1 year warranty. They repeatedly suggested I fix it myself, so I contacted Amazon customer service, and after a lengthy discussion they agreed to refund the item minus a restocking fee. Within 24 hours of initiating this return on Amazon, the manufacturer separately responded in our email thread with a USP return shipping label to send the item back for warranty replacement. Tracking shows the package was received on April 11. I have contacted the manufacturer 3 separate times to find out when my replacement will be shipped, with no response. I now have no vacuum and am out the cost of the item itself and the extended 2 year warranty plan. I am requesting Amazon either contact the seller on my behalf and have them ship me a replacement machine and email tracking information, or refund me in full for the vacuum and 2 year extended warranty plan (ORDER # ***-4190931-4389837 and ORDER # ***-0244767-8221813).Business Response

Hello *********,
I'm Aqeeb 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'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by not receiving a full refund for Vacuum Cleaner you returned.
Upon reviewing, I can see that we have shared a return label to return it to Amazon and there is no tracking available in 1ZE910V79034244111
Further, I've reviewed the attachment file added in this complaint and can find another label 1Z1X66530339344839 which is not created from our end and we have not received this return. Hence we will not be able to take any further actions to refund or replace the item.
However, if you have returned this item to Manufacturer outside Amazon, we will not be able to track the status of this claim. We request you to please contact Manufacturer for further actions for a refund or replacement.
Thank you for your understanding.

On April 12, 2023 Amazon.com advertised a Greenworks 40V Brushless Self propelled Lawn Mower 21 inch electric. for $32.49 which was originally $479.99. The allowable quantity was 3. I ordered 3 at $105.27 which was suppose to be delivered on Monday 4/17, however, never came until Thursday 4/20 and only 1 lawnmower arrived. I called Amazon and they advised me that I canceled my order, which was not truthful. I requested proof of me canceling which they could not provided. I spoke with a supervisor who advised me that Amazon had actually canceled these orders because they advertised an incorrect price. Speaking to another Rep, she advised me that if I ordered the lawnmowers again that she would complete a price change and refund my credit card $901 to reflect the price change of $35.09 per each mower ( for the 2 missing mowers) which were scheduled to be delivered on 4/26. On 4/26 again only one mower arrived, again I called Amazon who advised that the order was once again canceled. I also found out that the price change never happened and the credit card was billed $485.95( for one mower that arrived). I asked Amazon several times to provide me with the recorded telephone conversation in which their rep offered the price change, and the refund within 3-5 days. Every time this was asked, they would disconnect the call or leave me on hold for over 20 minutes. I have spent 4 hours in 1 week on the phone and still have no resolution or the items that I have now purchased twice. Along with that the credit card was fraudulently charged for a different amount than what was authorized. I am asking Amazon to honor their originally advertised price for complete order of 3 mowers that was initially ordered on 4/12 at the price advertised along with the recoupment of the unauthorized amount of $485.95.Business Response

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 foolishly bought a universal tv stand from Amazon. The pkg was supposed to be delivered 4/26. Today is 4/27 and theres still no delivery and no estimated delivery date. I called Amazon and was told Oh, sorry ****, but theres nothing we can do. I asked for a refund at that point and was denied that as well. I then asked for a supervisor, where at that point, a man got on the phone and stated he was a supervisor, he was super rude and he hung up on me completely.

Amazon is not processing my racism and wrongful customer profiling complaint, which is against corporate governance rules. Amazon is suspending my account for no legitimate reason. I am a loyal Amazon customer for more than 10 years. Some 4 months ago, their account security team has suspended my account for no reason and this has been repeated 5 times till now. Everytime it happens, I need to talk to their customer service agents and have to answer many detailed security questions some of which are not humanly possible to answer.I suspect this is an act of racism and/or wrongful customer profiling, because my name is an Asian name. Amazon couldnt explain me the raitionale why they keep blocking my account.The worst part is Amazon is evading my racism complaint, its service agents doesnt take it!!! Maybe I am right maybe I am wrong, but Amazon is not even willing to investigate the situation.Racist people exist and live among us unfortunately. It is any institution's responsibility to go to the bottom of these charges.I want Amazon to take my racism and wrongful customer profiling complaint and investigating the issue thoroughly. Ultimately, I want the company to cease blicking my account.Business Response

Amazon has used my payment information unauthorized more than once. The first time I didnt say anything when I was searching products online. Decided not to purchase one of the items and went with something else. 3 hours later Amazon charged my card for the item that I didnt purchase. Another issue is that every time I ordered from Amazon they sent me used products. Lastly, the main reason for my complaint. Is the fact that I first deleted all of my payment information off of the Amazon.com accounts. Then I requested to delete my account and spoke with a representative to insure it was done. And 3 months later Amazon.com decides to charge my card that they no longer had access to or authorization for the charge because I canceled my account. I dont care what anyone says. The people behind Amazon are disgusting.Business Response

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 BBB complaint and I'm sorry to learn about the unauthorized charges that you incurred in your account.
I have checked your account associated with the email address that you provided on your BBB complaint. Unfortunately, I could not find the charges that you mentioned in this account of yours. It appears that your payment card is active in some other Amazon.com account which could belong to any of your family members or authorized users of your payment card. We recommend you to please check on this with your family members.
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.
Regarding Used products - You can return most items sold and fulfilled by Amazon.com in new condition with all original packaging and accessories within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
For account closure - We understand you wish to close your account and delete your data.
Protecting your privacy and the security of your data is and has always been a top priority for **. The most secure and straight-forward way to submit the request is to follow the steps below:
1. Go to Close Your Amazon Account: ****************************************************
2. Sign into the account you want to close.
3. Review the products and services associated with your account.
4. If you still wish to proceed, select a reason in the drop-down menu, tick the box next to "Yes, I want to permanently close my Amazon account and delete its data" and click "Close My Account."
Please note that if you have multiple accounts, please follow the steps above for each of them to ensure that we have the correct authority to take action on each account you wish to close. By requesting the permanent closure of your Amazon account and the deletion of your data on any Amazon site, youll lose access to all of the products and services across all Amazon sites globally where you use the same login credentials (email, mobile phone number, and password), such as international Amazon sites (e.g. amazon.co.**, amazon.fr, amazon.com.mx), Audible, etc.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
I have fully re-investigated the issue with return on order #***-9899808-2373859.
As we informed you earlier, your return for the order ***-9899808-2373859 contained a heavily used ***** black monitor U2722D) instead of the original **** Ultrasharp U2719DX 27-Inch WQHD 2560x1440 Resolution IPS Monitor with Infinity Edge Bezels, Black.
Our records show that the order was complete and in proper condition, and the correct item was in the package when it left our fulfillment center. In addition, the carrier has confirmed that the parcel was intact and undamaged when it was delivered to you.
As stated in your previous messages, we cannot issue a refund for this order until we receive the correct item.
While I know you're disappointed with our stance on this matter, I want to assure you the information you received is correct.
Im sorry for any disappointment caused and appreciate your understanding.
This decision is final. We will likely not respond to further emails about this issue.

Complaint: 19988556
I am rejecting this response because: the item I received is the same one I sent back. I have no idea what happened, nor is it my responsibility to know what happened to my package during transit. When I opened the box, I immediately realized it was incorrect and included in my initial report that the "incorrect item"was sent to me. So if I understand the response, Amazon as a company is accusing me of being both dishonest and a thief? Is it the customers responsibility to insure a package that is to be received? I would really like to know where the liability stands in this case, and makes me wonder if I should be talking to a lawyer in regards to this, rather than attempt to "resolve" in my own. This indiscretion is damaging to both my personal and business life, and I have since lost my job for not being able to login and use my computer without a monitor, nor a refund, or replacement. The damages so far are approx $2500, not to mention the mental anguish and frustration this has brought to my life. I suggest the following resolution; provide me with a refund in exact amount paid for an item that was not the item I purchased and was returned within the designated return window. Failure to provide a refund is in violation of my conditional right to work and participate in commerce. As well as to be treated fairly and justly. I was also told the item I sent back was destroyed by Amazon, if this is true how was THAT done lawfully without providing customer with reimbursement?
Sincerely,
