I purchased a laptop battery from Amazon.com on April 12th, 2023 where it listed that the item I was purchasing was covered under "Free Amazon Product Support." I specifically chose this item because it had this free support, these laptop batteries are known to have a high failure rate so I chose to protect myself by purchasing an item that was protected. This is shown in the red box of the "ProductPage.png" image.Today, 4/26/23, the battery failed and no longer charges. This is one of the failures that is commonly cited in the reviews for this item. This was the exact failure I was afraid of and the reason I purchased a product with "Free Amazon Support." When I went to use this support that I thought I was purchasing, Amazon directs me to a page that says the item is ineligible for this service, this is shown in "SupportPage.png."The product was advertised as having this service, which is why I purchased this product, but Amazon refuses to allow me to use what was advertised. This is false advertisement. This is illegal. I want the support I paid for, or a replacement of the failed item.Business Response

My brother passed away and I have been trying to close his account for over two weeks. The bereavement support department requested I send I copy of the death certificate and any information I have. I provided them with all the information they requested which included the death certificate, his name, his address , his phone number. They then replied that they needed his email address. I provided them one email address and stated that he had several but this was the only one I knew of. They then never responded back. Meanwhile, the reoccurring orders that he had on automatic send continue to be delivered. The most recent experience was via phone and I was on hold for over an hour being transferred to different departments and no one is resolving this issue. We are already dealing with the death of a loved one and this experience has been horrible.Business Response

Greetings, I am expressing my concern regarding false advertisement that Amazon presented when renting a vehicle with Budget on January 30, 2023. Amazon and Budget were advertising up to 30% off your car rental + 10% back in an Amazon.com Gift card. I received the discount off from Budget when I booked the car rental for $425.43. However, I never received the 10% back in an Amazon gift card, which would amount to $42.54. I have contacted Budget and Amazon customer service multiple times with both companies bouncing me back and forth to each other. As for the attached advertisement, I logged into Amazon.com as instructed to be eligible for the offer. I have wasted too much time and effort contacting Amazon with no resolution on several occasions. I could have booked the Budget car rental through ****** and saved more money. However, I chose to do it through Amazon, because of this offer to get 10% back in a gift card, which was a better offer at the time that I never received. Please note that the attached Budget car rental receipt is in my husband, *************************** name since I put him down as the primary driver on the vehicle. I appreciate any resolution you can facilitate to make this right with Amazon. Thank you, *********************Business Response

Hello *****,
I'm Praveen 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 any misunderstanding in this case.
As the offer is advertized on a different website, we are unable to honor the same. The gift card is issued by budget and not Amazon. I would request you to please check with budget and if they deny the issue, please forward the correspondence so that we can see what can be done.
We look forward to see you soon.

I am rejecting this response because: Budget refuses to acknowledge the Amazon gift card benefit made with the reservation and advertised it as such even though the attached advertisement clearly states the misleading benefit of an Amazon gift card with the Budget car rental.

I hope my email finds you well. I'm contacting you because on February 23 I sent to Amazon the shipment ID ************, with 56 units of the product ASIN: B00Y3PB48A - "NESQUIK Chocolate Cocoa Powder, 9.3 Oz. Tub | Milk Chocolate Powder" (attached purchase invoice and proof of delivery). However, on April 3rd the Amazon team informed me that my shipment had arrived with a quantity discrepancy of -4 units (equivalent to ***** USD), so to resolve this discrepancy, I contacted Amazon through CASE ID *********** (on April 10th) and provided information and proof that my shipment was complete and in accordance with Amazon's requirements.Unfortunately, Amazon only replied they had counted the units and had not found any units, but they never provided proof or anything and simply closed the case ID ***********, which I opened to resolve this situation.That is why I'm contacting you, because I think it's unfair that Amazon just assures they have not received my product but don't provide any proof or evidence. I would like you to communicate and escalate this case to Amazon so we can resolve this problem as soon as possible.Thank you very much for your help and support.Regards Lunam ShopBusiness Response

Dear Better *************** I had a selling account on **********************. My account has been deactivated because of the suspicions of the Seller Performance Team that I have listed unsafe items on Amazon (ASIN: B09J54PFMQ). I am concerned that my selling privileges were removed by mistake. I provided the Seller Performance Team with the certificates of quality and documents of safety certification for the products (by The Public Health and ******************** as well but it didn't work. It's an Elkay branded product and it does not consist of any unsafe or harmful materials. My point is proved by certifications numbers specified on the listing and the product itself. Listing contains photos of the backside of the filter. All certifications on the filter is a proof that this filter is safe. I haven't received any complaints from customers or other entities about these products. I've never received restricted product policy violations as well as other complaints, claims or even bad reviews. My account's performance is green and "healthy", I reviewed the product's rating and it's "good" or 4. But since I couldn't convince Amazon by even sending them all documents required I requested disbursement of my funds. However, Amazon has rejected my request without even telling me the reason why. My account has been deactivated without proof or real problem on the account, and moreover, Amazon rejected even to disburse my funds. I ask you to contact Amazon and request to conduct an additional review of my account about funds disbursement. I attached all information that Amazon needs in their review. Best regards!Business Response

This past Monday, I started an inquiry via chat as to who has my name, address and credit card and is sending me packages I didnt order via Amazon. I was told by an Amazon representative who called me that they were opening a fraud inquiry to find out who ordered Amazon Prime packages on my credit card and also sent them to me, but not in my Amazon account. I never received the email I was told to expect after 24hours and then the Amazon customer service people told me that there was no fraud inquiry submitted and that the packages werent sent from Amazon, but that is not what I was told on Monday. The Monday person said they found an amazon account with my shipping and credit card information but a different email address where those packages were ordered. The only party who would benefit if I didnt catch it, would be Amazon, and in any case I am pretty convinced Amazon is lying now. Its a case of what I can only figure to call forced purchasing. I also called Amex about this on this past Monday and they told me the charges were made to Amazon and they are still conducting their fraud inquiry and said Amazon shouldnt be going back on what they told me on Monday and made notes in my Amex inquiry. I am honestly potentially concerned for my safety since someone not only hacked my credit card, they also know where I live and are sending me packages, which doesnt make any sense and has a kind of stalker feeling. My initial request to Amazon what that they find out who did it, and even if they cant give me a name (which I hope they would) at least a location. I want to know if this is a person I know or who knows of me doing this near me OR is it a person across the Atlantic who is really bad at scamming. I have been stalked and been victim of domestic violence and this is a clear violation of my privacy and potentially a threat to my safety. I want to know who did it and I want a copy of the call from them on Monday 4/25/2023Business 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 for any inconvenience caused by unknown packages that you received at your address.
First, I'll need to find the order. I should be able to do that if you can provide the tracking information or some additional information from the outside of the package. On the shipping label, you should see the tracking number and a long string of letters and numbers separated by slashes. It will look something like this:
fbfe18717/2/3998/econ-us/1 of 1/
I need the combination of letters and numbers that appears immediately before the first slash (in the example above, it would be "fbfe18717") or the tracking number. Everything is case-sensitive. I can track the shipment with this information, and can then assist further.
We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

I am rejecting this response because: I want the fraud investigation that was started this past Monday 4/24/23 on a call I received from Amazon and was told was recorded to be completed. This person is asking me to do again what I have already done in the chat on my actual Amazon account and on the call on Monday and again on Wednesday. They are continuing to ask me to redo what is all on my actual Amazon account - my main complaint is that they are not honoring the first fraud complaint on the phone where the guy told me he found another Amazon account that the fraudulent orders came from. I never got the follow up email about the recorded call and when I called back to follow up the new Amazon team told me that there was no call associated with my account and no fraud complaint filed and when I gave her the tracking numbers again she said that they didn't come from Amazon and that the packages were reused. But this is in direct contrast to what I was told on Monday by Amazon. All the packages I received are sealed with Amazon Prime tape and 2 of 4 have return addresses to Amazon facilities and Amex said that they were from Amazon. I want them to get the information that I already provided on the recorded call from Monday 4/24/23 at 5:12 PM EST and finish that fraud investigation.Sincerely,
