Starting on April 22nd, I received an email from Amazon.com that my account was put on hold and to provide documents to release the hold. However there were no specific instructions on what type of documents for what payments/orders. Therefore, I upload numerous documents ranging from my ID, to my Credit Cards/Debit Cards, billing statements for proof of address, my physical Amazon Gift Cards, my boyfriend's ****** Credit Cards. I provide my phone number for them to call so it would be better communication which they didn't call. I asked for a direct email to contact which they didn't provide. This morning the 26th, I received an email saying they are closing my account. I have a gift card balance of over $200 left which has been unnecessarily seized. I want my money back and a reason why they are closing my Account. I have been nothing but cooperative and gave them numerous options for better contact to communicate and resolve this situation to which the business ignored.

My husband and I purchased $3605 a furniture from Amazon's affiliate, Ashley ********** The couch had a broken back cushion, whenever you sit back, it falls back. The loveseat had missing parts, and Amazon was not able to find the parts needed to bolt the center consul down. I requested a pick up return, and to this date I am still waiting for my refund. The furniture has been received, and I am still waiting for a refund to my Amazon card. They claim they cannot refund back to the original form of payment, and they would be happy to give me a gift card. I don't want a gift card. I want my money so I can pay back my credit card. What can I do to rectify the situation as it's becoming very stressful, I'm losing days at work because I'm on the phone all the time arguing. I have documentation from emails and text messages phone call voice message. I don't wanna hear any more excuses. I just want my money. I need help and I'm desperate.

This is in reference to Order # Order# ***-8487701-9666663 It was supposed to arrive today but I got an email saying the tracking number had changed and it was delayed.

I purchased a Coffee Table from ************ (via Amazon.com) on April 8, 2023 Order Number: 113-9936487-1401847 Order Total: $714.54 ********** table arrived damaged (and does not look like damage due to shipping) and was not taken out of the box because the damage is on the top of the table and I dont like the wood (raw rough and splintery) the paint (chalky and unfinished) and would need to apply a paint sealer in order to use the coffee table as a coffee table.Amazon approved my request for a refund and referred me to ************ for what I thought was to schedule a pickup. Bison customer service sent an email requesting photos of the damage and I sent photos with a message (similar to this).FIRST: I was told they could send me a replacement part free of charge if I thought that was acceptable and I said I wanted to return the table.SECOND: I was asked if I would reconsider a replacement part with a $100 discount and believing they were offering me a choice I said I wanted to return the table.THIRD: (a very different tone) I was told because I declined their offers for replacement parts it was now my responsibility to return the damaged table they sent to me. I was given instructions to use the original packaging, a return address, an RMA number and needed to provide them with the tracking number.How is it my responsibility to return a damaged product to the seller because I declined a DIY coffee table project. Thats not a return policy thats a blackmail policy. There is no way the piece can be replaced without creating more damage. There are differences in dye lots and if I wanted to deal with this I would have bought a DYI coffee table kit.***** knows there is no way a customer can return something like this without hiring people and paying hundreds of dollars for shipping. I believe this is an intimidation tactic in order to prevent them from having to take responsibility. ***** needs to pickup the table immediately and I want a full refund.

This was never a complaint against Amazon, it was a complaint against a third party seller BisonOfficeLLC (furniture company). I was lucky enough to have the dispute resolved by Amazon A-Z *************************** ***** did absolutely nothing other than being rude and condescending.

Recently, Amazon suspended my account and required me to submit a billing statement that displayed my name, address, and last four digits of card/account number. I did so, three times, but ********************** still has not reinstated my account. The most recent email to me, on April 26, 2023, reads:-----We have removed your access to this Amazon.com account and canceled all open orders.We took these actions because we determined that this account is related to an account that we already closed because the card issuer disputed one or more transactions.We sent instructions on next steps to the related account.

In September 14, 2020, I purchased a Clek FLLO car seat directly from Amazon. In April when I signed-on to Amazon, a notification on the screen notified me of the recall. I never received an email prior alerting me to the recall, and my son was using the car seat. On April 3, **** I called Amazon. I provided them with proof of the recall. The Amazon representative named *** promised me a full refund for the car seat in the amount of $415.83 in 3-5 business days. I never received the refund. I called back on 04/23/2023 and spoke to a supervisor name *****. She said she was unable to refund me the amount because the system wouldnt allow her to do it. She said she could issue me store credit for the amount of the car seat. She said she would call me back everyday to issue the daily *** until refund amount was completed. She never called me back. She only issued me $100 on 04/23/2023. This incident caused my son to use a recalled car seat for considerable amount of time after recall because Amazon failed to send an email reasonable time period from when the car seat was recalled. Amazon also promised me a refund I have not received.

I have been an Amazon Prime and Amazon Music subscriber for over 12 months now. After having an incident where my dog had scared an Amazon delivery driver away, with no contact. Amazon has forcefully locked my account with no means to gain entry. Customer support has informed me that I am still paying for these subscriptions, and can not cancel them since they can not lift the lock on my account. ******************** has been extremely unhelpful and hesitant to fix the issue. While I am still being charged for a service I can not cancel or take advantage of. I will update if there is any resolution. My losses so far are below. The Amazon prime subscription charges my account $14.99 every cycle of 1 month, The Amazon music subscription charges $8.99 every cycle of one month. I have been locked out of my account since 4/23/23, It is currently 4/26/23. And already I have lost approximately $2.40 since being locked from my account to *********************** subscriptions which I am unable to cancel. Thank you for your concern and reading this case.
