It says the item is eligible for refund or replacement. At the bottom of the page is a photo of the blazer that I was sent, which was not only a different brand but with no size listed. It is smaller than a known size 40 I have compared it with.3. Page 3, while shipping and handling are listed as $0.00 on my Order Summary on page 1, I had to pay *** $91.52 for shipping and handling to receive the delivery. This was NEVER mentioned in any communications until notification from *** a couple of days before delivery.4. Page 4 is the *** shipping label which shows that the blazer was shipped from *******, ********.5. In summary I have paid at total of $308.76 for a wrong coat that does not fit.Amazon has an online video about how to address problems with their affiliate sellers, however, for this item many of the links referred to in the video do not exist. I called Amazon customer service several times and they always say they will contact me by email within 48 hours but it never happens.

      I received a damaged item today under order #***-2857302-0253063. Amazon expect me to return via *** and wait 60 days for a refund when an accommodation could be made due to the customer service failure where a refund is issued once *** tracking indicates that the item has been picked up. Unfortunately, I've had to sift through multiple layers of Amazon incompetence in an effort to get my issue rectified. I will be filing a dispute with my van as a result.

      In the past 2 months, Amazon has send over a dozen orders via ***** which does not service my building as a rural address.. I have spent over 5 hours on the phone with amazon in the past month to re-order these items, and track my refunds while **** returns these items to Amazon. This takes weeks, and in some cases Amazon reduces my refund amount because it takes weeks for **** return the items which Amazon wrongfully sent via a carrier that does not service my building. The Aspen postmistress told me "some days we send back 200 amazon packages a day.. it's a problem Amazon refuses to address or fix". **** is not allowed to release the packaged to me, they legally do have to return the packages to Amazon because **** does not cover half the homes in Aspen.I have spent hours explaining this problem to *********** reps promise to escalate the issue, but I never hear back with a solution or resolution,. Tonight I waited 30 minutes for a "LEAD" to come to the phone. The LEAD either could not or would not understand the issue and kept saying "it's delayed". The delays and custom delivery arrangements I have had to make have cost me over $300 to date for these dozen items as I have to pay a store to receive my packages for me. I have spent hours on the phone trying to resolve this issue since it does not happen again. I am seeking compensation of my out of pocket costs as I do not believe the problem will be solved unless I seek compensation form Amazon for the cost of the problem they cause with most deliveries. Order 111-2719133-7166646 is the most expensive to fix as it will arrive after I leave my seasonal home and will have to pay a property manager and cleaning crew to drive (2 hours roundtrip, 4 hours total time) to accept and install this item in my absence at a cost of $140. Seeking compensation as 5 hours of phone calls have failed to resolve the issue.

      Hello ******,

      I'm Pratap from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message. 

      I've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the delivery of your item Casper Sleep Comfy Mattress Topper, Queen and the delivery issues with the carrier ****.

      I apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced in this case.

      Upon checking the **** tracking I see that the item is successfully delivered to you. Please reply back to this email if you have not receive the item.

      If you do not prefer to have **** as the carrier, the best option is to have it deprioritized. While deprioritizing **** doesn't eliminate it as the potential carrier for the customer's orders, it will lessen the likeliness of it being selected. With that said, we're unable to manually select a carrier to fulfill the customer's orders, as it is automatically selected during the ******************** phase of the order based on feasibility.

      Also please share the second order number which was shipped via **** and you had faced delivery issues.

      We look forward to hearing from you soon.

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

      I had tried to correct my digital kindle and books and had asked to remove my old books and kindle books by a report to digital services. Which I had published. The reason because I had changed bank accounts. The reason I wanted my digital kindle and books removed was because I did not receive any royalties payments this year. I am the author of these books, please have my digital kindle and books remove from the following.Beauty School Helper (kindle)***** the Movie (kindle)************************* (kindle)***** the Novel (kindle)Watch Dog of the Estate (kindle) and book Injustice on Women in the Society (Kindle) and book The Right to Be Informed (kindle) and book The Gamers (kindle) and book I had published some new books and the second day without warning my books were removed.

      I purchased several items for use and the item stated it could be returned when ordered. I ended up finding that upon opening several of the protein shakes they were spoiled with curdled milk in them. I tried to get assistance from amazon support and they did not provide it. They told me i could not receive credit. Then they told me to send photos and provided an email with incorrect information which is causing me to waist more time. I want a full refund for the Premier Protein shakes that are bad. I have provided 5 emails and photos attached to them. The only thing I get is a reply asking for a hand written note with my name which makes no sense I don't know why this is occurring. They have the information I used my card on to purchase these and my prime account.

      I ordered from Amazon.com and paid extra to have my package shipped and delivered for Friday April 14th. One package did not arrive. I contacted customer service on Sunday April 16 and the agent told me they had refunded my order of $204USD. I checked my account today April 20th and nothing was in my account. I contacted customer service again and was told the refund was cancelled because of how it was shipped. I talked to a team lead and was told they cant issue a refund back to my original payment method but they can issue me a promotional credit of $204 and it would be reflected in my account. There is nothing showing in my account so I contacted customer service again and now they are saying they cannot issue a refund nor a promotional credit and nothing can be done for me.

      Do you not realize porch robbers are a problem???Please put packages behind my garbage cans behind my garage. Thats before you even arrive at the house. Its a shorter walk. Porch robbers are a problem. You have been asked numerous times over previous 6 months to simply drop it behind my garbage cans behind my garage. Most times they simply drop it right on my door step. I dont get a knock or ring of the bell. All the porch robbers on the street see it before I do. And 90% of the time Im home. If its stolen, you dont do a thing. You dont reorder and redeliver. You dont insure. THIS IS BEYOND LAZY. You are paid to deliver it. From here out please pay $5 every time a package is put on on my doorstep. That will help fund my porchbrobber insurance fund. You are being paid to deliver packages. If you fail to take a simple precaution to stop porch robbers, then refund the $5 or so of shipping costs to help fund my porch robber insurance fund. Otherwise simply do as asked and drop it behind my garbage cans behind my garage. Sometimes I order multiple of the same item at the same time and they are delivered separately. If you cant take precautions then please hold and deliver together.

      I have pre ordered two items from them that both had a release date. They tell me they are having stock issues and have delayed my order, but they then have the same items I pre ordered in stock just at a higher price. This clearly is stock and price manipulation, plain and simple. The items in question were two masters of the universe origins action figures and Amazon routinely has been pulling this unsavory maneuver.

      I have been anAmazon Prime customer for many years. Last August (2022), I tried to leave a review on a purchase and was told I was no longer allowed to do this. I have contacted Amazon many many times since then and asked them to show me what I did wrong to have this privilege taken away. I get a generic email in response saying I didn't follow guidelines but they won't show me what guideline. I never broke any of their rules! Today I spoke with a representative on the phone and he assured me this would be reviewed. Within minutes I received the same generic email I have received since August 2022. I pay a lot of money to use their services and I spend a lot of money on their site. I should at least be able to know what I did wrong

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
