      I ordered a basketball light and it was being shipped during the shipping. Amazon busted it, and it never made the delivery day that we were guaranteed through my account. I called and discussed with the Third World country that is now their customer service team and they told me that I would be getting a brand new one. Well, when the package arrived at my house, it look like it was drug down the street and the box was in shambles and Amazon never kept with the agreement we had. The third world customer service team is notorious and I have this recorded that they said I would be getting a brand new light and they sent me a junk used one that was all beat up.

      I was searching online and hoping to buy a pet crate on March 5th, 2023, my intention was to check the shipping cost, did not realize I was ordering one until the next day when I received an email from Amazon which was my order confirmation. In no time on the 16th, I contacted Amazon online live chat at least three times, I called Amazon in ** and spoke to a **************** Officer, I called ********* Post while I could clearly see the crate was still in the **** through my Amazon account, despite what I did, it was just impossible to stop it from shipping over to me all the way from *******. When I was at ********* Post in the afternoon on March 15th ready to ship the crate back, it was my 4th time contacting Amazon. I got the 4th time reassurance that all the expenses will be reimbursed to my bank account (crate+shipping to ********* + shipping to *********) once Amazon receives the pet crate, total AUD481.21. I wouldn't have shipped crate back and spent another unnecessary 200+ dolloars if I didn't get confirmation from AMAZON that I will get my shipping fees back. (so I think it's AMAZON's fault not to refund me the shipping expense)Above highlighted in yellow, I have email confirmation of Mr. ******* from the leadership team, and live chat confirmation, both indicate to fund the full payment to me (crate + shipping to ********* + shipping to **), refer to my attachment please. I request AMAZON to refund me CRATE+SHIPPING TO AUS+SHIPPING TO *** as they promised to me in the email confirmation and live chat. thank you!

      I apologize that you did not received a refund for the return shipping charges for MidWest Homes for Pets Newly Enhanced Single & Double Door iCrate Dog Crate, Includes Leak-Proof Pan, Floor Protecting Feet, Divider Panel & New Paten.

      I understand your frustration. However, we're unable to issue refund of the shipping charges as this return is not due an amazon error as a result we cannot issue refund of shipping charge.

      Order date Mar 15, 2023 Order #***-5569466-4182603 Order total $705.49 Item name: RX **** XTX I received the wrong item and then I returned the item I was sent instead then I called Amazon customer service and was told a different thing by around 20 people about when I would receive the refund I told the last person I spoke to (in march) that I was going file a dispute with my bank. A Month later the dispute chargeback was reversed without any notification my bank account was -$500. Amazon.com has no right to that money whatsoever because I have returned the item I was sent accidentally instead of what I ordered.

      I was an Amazon prime member. I ordered 2 under armour hats from Amazon. I placed the order on April 16 and my shipping delivery date was the 18th. So on the 18th no package and messaged Amazon to find out what was going on. And they said it was human error that it was delayed. I checked the tracking on it and said it was in humble ***** on the 16 and was shipped to *********. They said it would forsure be delivered by the 20th. I was really upset about that because my son was in from ********* and I was hoping to have them for him before he left. That didn't happen. So the 20th comes and no package and he had to leave. So I messaged Amazon again and was told this time that it would be there on the 21st guaranteed. Well at this point I wanted to cancel or get a refund. Wich I was told I couldn't do that. I messaged corporate Amazon about this and the lady told me she was sorry about all the confusion on there end and all I had to do was request a refund. So I did through chat I asked for the refund and was told wait until Monday after 5pm and they were gonna put all the notes from chat on my file for Monday. so I did and I waited and check mail around 705 and NO Package. Furious I message amazon and this time when I requested it. I was told no. That there wasnt a solution for me. I can't believe azon conducts business like this. It's sad. I have since closed my amazon account. All I wanted was to buy something nice for my son that he was wanting. And all this bs.

      I made a purchase of 5 items online on 4/19/23. The order was split into 3 deliveries. One coming **** and 2 coming via Amazon drivers. On 4/22 I was schedule to receive the **** package and one package from an Amazon driver (all Prime delivery items fyi and one on 1-2 days). The **** package arrived in my mail room as planned. The Amazon driver package was marked delivery attempted saying the drop off wasnt accessible which isnt true bc the mailroom is lit and unlocked. Said package was marked as delivered on 4/23/23 with a photograph of someone elses home not my apartment building so I contacted Amazon and even with the proof that they delivered elsewhere they would not refund my money (we would miss the event we needed the items for). THEN today 4/24/23 the last package was due to be delivered by an Amazon driveragain not outside of my mailbox as directed and no photo submitted with the delivery this time. So I received one item out of 5 snd even though it is the direct fault of Amazon because their driver is not sending my packages to my address, they will not refund my money. I was told get a drop box or another address to send it to, but why should I have to do that? I pay for Prime to have fast shipping to MY HOME. Ive reported this issue in the past as well as some of my neighbors. Amazon claimed they fixed the ping and no more issues but here it continues and now they are stealing from their customers with some new policy Im sure most arent aware about saying once its delivered, the issues lie with the consumer and they are free. They are basically scamming the public especially after all the drivers who were stealing and just leaving packages anywhere. I want my hard earned money since I got no products. 113-0909834-0671451 And 113-3385785-9468200 are the two order numbers associated. They should be sued for their sneaky back door behavior! I DO NOT have a back door. I live in a 10 apartment building! Ive provided these instructions before!

      Hello,

      Were sorry to hear that you havent received your item(s) from order #***-0909834-0671451.

      Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a REPLACEMENT/REFUND for this order at this time.

      At this time, Amazon isn't 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.com 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."

      See ************************************************************************************ for more information.

      We recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Complaint: 19977554

      I am rejecting this response because: they continue to try and blame me for delivery issues when their driver did not deliver to my home. How am I supposed to monitor or receive a package sent to someone elses address? Also, *** worked with their solutions center in the past and they said the delivery issue was fixed yet they still continued to deliver my packages to addresses that are not mine. Ive already provided a picture they supplied upon delivery of my order at someone elses address. I do not have a back porch and live in a big brick building. I should not be faulted for the Amazon drivers that leave packages just anywhere. They clearly didnt match the house number with the package address. This is on Amazon for not training their drivers or holding them at high standards. This is not the issue of the consumer nor the consumers fault. There are others in my building having similar issues.

      Sincerely,

      I purchase a set of pillows from Amazon and they are HORRIBLE.. I paid $34.11 for non-useable flat pillows.. I contacted Amazon and they said to take it to a *** store and have them deliver them back for a full refund. Since they were vacuum sealed, it was imposable to fit them in the shipping box. The *** wanted to charge me $20.00 to pack and ship it back and I declined as I'm on a fixed income and really can't afford it.. Can Amazon ship me a box that the pillows will fit? the Order# ***-1196146-4276231 purchased on April 12, 2023.. I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years.. I don't feel it's fair I have to pay $20 for pack and ship to get back $34.11

      I'm sorry to hear your HVAC ************ Assembly didn't work out.

      Because more than 30 days have passed since you received this item, we can no longer accept a return.

      Our returns procedures state that within 30 days of delivery of your order, you may return most merchandise in new condition, with the original packaging and accessories, or any defective merchandise, for a full refund.

      I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual and/or contacting the manufacturer to see if the problem in question is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

      Most manufacturers list contact information on the product packaging.

      If you can't find the information there, you might want to try doing a web search to find their phone number or website.

      I was looking at earbuds on Amazon but didn't order any. I went to the app to check the status of an item i did order and there was an additional item that I didn't place. my bank account is linked to this account and ifeel they charged me in error. I attemped to contact them as it states the item is in shipping process but not shipped they said they cannot cancel the order. it hasn't shipped yet, I didn't place this order at all I don't know how its on there. I live alone and ***** has access to my account except me. they gave me a "promotional credit" which is only good towrds certian products that they sell. That doesn't give me my money back to buy food, now I have to buy something else from them when all I want to do is cancel my account so this doesn't happen again becasue now I fear it might. What if next time they take more than $25 ??? This feels like a scam from one of these dropshippers that amazon works with.

      Hello ****, 

      I'm Sandhya 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 complaint details and I'm sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced with order #***-0607242-7989059. 

      Upon checking, I can see that your order was placed through shopping cart. From your cart, if you click "Place your Order" at the end of the order process--your order won't be placed unless you click this button. Also, I see that email confirmation sent to you immediately on Monday, April 24, 2023. 

      However, since you claim that you haven't place the order, we request you to reject the item upon delivery. I see that our customer service team issued promotional credit of $26.24. 

      If you do not need promotional credit, once shows rejected you can contact us back and we will cancel the credit and issue refund on the order. Please respond with your preference. 

      We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard. 

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      Regards,

      Sandhya,
