I made a purchase on March 27 and it was divided in 4 shipments that were supposed to arrive to its ** destination by April 3rd. I have received 3 out of those 4 shipments but I did not receive the 4th one of $43.25 it contains 3 books( sky of storm $11.99, reaper at the gates $ **** and united as one $8.98) and a phone case $12.99. I have contacted Amazon for this and they say they are not liable as the shipment address is a freightliner. However they are responsible for the shipment before arriving to the freightliner, since they did not receive the package. The first contact was due to a mistaken double charge, but it was my bank's issue. Then the next contacts were the 14th of ********** past the delivery date. I have provided evidence (in spanish) that the freightliner did not receive the package but still they decided to not reimburse me. I don't even have the option to process a replacement. I have long closed my amazon account as they will not do anything

I am rejecting this response because:
I have already provided evidence in two different ocassions and Amazon just keeps sending the same snippet.
First email sent to the email address provided was on Monday April 17 with a negative resolution (April 17) as they were not further liable.
Second email with a letter of the freight company attached was sent on the 24th with NO response.

I've reviewed your complaint details and I'm sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced with order #***-7619379-2318605 delivery.

Upon checking, I can see that your packages delivered on Monday, April 24. For item "Diamond (Original) RH77CA 144/440 MHz. Dual-Band High Gain Handheld Antenna", delivery date was given for Saturday, April 22, 2023. However, item delivered 2 days later than Guaranteed Delivery Date.

We use your desire for a specific delivery date along with our knowledge of carrier capabilities (acquired through sending millions of shipments) to select the most appropriate and efficient shipping service available for your order. I hope you understand.

Concerning your feedback about the deliveries, I've forwarded to the appropriate teams internally for their review. I'm sure our Internal Transportation Team will look into this instance and will try to rectify these errors.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this regard.

In January 2023, my Amazon account was used without my permission. Once I noticed the transaction and I immediately had my account blocked. I also called and notified Amazon. They had my account blocked and suspended until I could provide proof and which I did. My account was opened again and all those transactions and orders were canceled. Moving forward, I got an email on January 23 and January 24 that my orders were being delivered. These orders came from the person who I didnt give permission to use my account. In addition, these orders were supposed to be canceled. On April 14th I got email saying that the orders on my account were being disputed and my account was being on hold. I called and sent an email stating to them I didnt make or disputed any orders. I explained my situation and what happened back in January. The representative that I spoke with on April 16 stated that she was sending this over to the investigation department and I should be receiving an email within 24 hours to open my account. On April 22, 2023, I called again because I still couldn't access my account and the situation was not resolved. I did receive an email where they showed the items were delivered and signed for. The address for delivery was ******* and I live in *******. I was explaining that to representatives (****) . He started, that this investigation takes 30 days and with my account being on hold he couldn't my account. I then ask to be transferred over to department that can see my account and he states no. They will email you in 30 days. I then asked to be transferred a supervisor which he transferred me over another representative name (*****). They both couldn't explain why the items were still shipped out once I notified them that those charges were unauthorized. I asked since I didn't make those charges do I need to file a police report but they couldn't provide with any information because my account is on hold.

Ordered InkinS kit A, and the Inkin disposable on 4/20 and was to receive it 4/22, which did not bill that day and instead tried billing on 4/21, which due to it billing on a separate date, my bank declined it, so instead I decided to load money to my Amazon gift card balance, which was on 4/21/23. Which I planned to then use to make the order, but after ordering, Amazon put my account on hold and requested me to send in a bank statement to confirm that it was my card. I sent it in, and received a no reply email that the document wouldn't work even though it's the only document that they will accept, and it has everything they requested on it. I resubmitted and called customer service, and was told just to resubmit, and that my account is on hold, and that I would receive a call or email letting me know if there was an issue with that why it couldn't be used, and was told that it was noted to make sure that I would receive a call or an email within 24 hours, and that after that once the hold was lifted I could make my purchase. After this call, Amazon tried billing me 3 times to a card that they put on hold because they hadn't confirmed that I was the owner of it. The card that I wasn't supposed to be able to have any use of. I waited the full 24 hours, and received no call or email, and waited to call till morning 4/22, this morning I received a no reply email again with the exact same thing, instead of the information I was promised or them calling or emailing to try and actually resolve. During the call this morning, I was told over and over that resubmitting the same document would somehow fix the issue, and now to wait another 48 hours for a call or email from the verification department, which had already been skipped twice by their team. I was told that there's no way for me to escalate this, and just to wait and repeat the process again. I now don't have the machines that I needed for work due to amazons negligence. **************** 112-5993791-9361866

About a week ago I got a notice that Amazon shipped 3 boxes of ************** drinks to me and there were 3 more on order. I did not place this order and assume they substituted a subscription for a drink that is now discontinued and no longer available. I contacted Amazon through chat only to be told that someone must've placed the order for me and they promptly ended the chat after making this statement. I then called in to get this resolved only to be told the item is not returnable and to call after I had received it. Both times I stated my belief that my old subscription had been substituted and that I did not want the drinks. Since then I have recieved and been charged for all 6 boxes despite never authorizing the order and not wanting them. Why was nothing done to cancel this and how do I get my money back?
