Complaint: 19960399
I am rejecting this response because:I am rejecting this because the supervisor (?) stated then he could not reorder the item for me, when, I placed an order for the exact item when I was chatting with the supervisor on 4/19/2023. This led me to believe he was being deceptive, the purpose for deception, I am unclear. Also since I was able to place an order, hence take an action the supervisor was unable to do on his end, I asked a simple question. That question was, Why am I able to do something you cannot do? The supervisor, instead of saying he was unsure, he chose not to answer, abruptly end the chat session. IMHO, I think he knew I that I knew that everything he was saying was nonsense and could not justify what he claimed he just chose to end the conversation. The act of an unscrupulous individual who has something to hide in his/her actions.
On 4/23 I receive an e-mail from Amazon regarding this complaint, stating it had been reviewed and then stating incorrect information regarding a return label and getting a credit once the item was returned. I know no one at Amazon likes giving an answer to a simple question but I have to ask. How can I return something that I never received?
This is my last response to this complaint, I have wasted enough of my time on this insanity. I do find it incredibly unbelievable that corporations will spend millions to obtain a customer and yet this whole incident has managed to lose your company a good customer all for $5.99 plus tax. Its almost comical.

I have been an Amazon Prime customer for a very long time. For the most part, I was pretty happy with Amazon's customer service. Unfortunately, it is no longer the case. I used to be thanked every time for being a Prime Member, but not anymore. It is a huge concern to me that there is no way to communicate or give feedback to management. You only get base line customer service on the phone or chat. Recently, I was bounced around on the chat to 5 people and had no resolution! Amazon used to refund your return when you dropped it off at **** Now, even though I pay for 2 day shipping with Prime, for a return it takes a really long time for an item to get to the processing center and even longer for the return to be processed. It went from getting a refund to your Amazon account several hours later to 2 weeks and most recently I was told 30 days! That is utterly ridiculous! People do not have unlimited funds or time to wait to replace an item. Especially if it is clothes! I need to try on the clothes and sometimes they don't fit, or aren't the same look or color as online. Your Try Before You Buy program has also gone downhill. Hardly anything is available, but what is available, they now they want your bank to hold your money, so you might as well have bought and returned the items. This didn't happen before. At this point, there is no reason to shop at Amazon. It is no longer convenient. I might as well go to a store. If Amazon changed their policies because they had fraud, and lost money, I am sure they could find a way to go after those people then to make it harder for their loyal customers. At this point, Amazon has become a hassle to use. And when that happens, being a Prime member won't be necessary either. I am very unhappy. It took a huge fight to get one shirt processed and refunded and now I have a bunch I am waiting to see returned and refund. Waiting 30 days has put me in a situation and I want to be able to communicate that to someone in charge.Business Response

Hello,
I am Mahendra 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.
Thanks for being a valuable prime customer and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused due to the service you received by front end customer service team.
Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the return refund time period. Usually the refund will be issued once the return is processed at fulfillment center and it will be done automatically.
I understand that the refund wait time is long but as mentioned it will be processed by checking the received product and then the refund will be issued.
I appreciate you bringing this to our attention and I'll make sure to get this escalated to the concern team to work on it.

I placed order 114-3162167-9345014 on 4/15. It was supposed to have been delivered on 4/17. I still have not received it even though the status says delivered. I have contacted Amazon several times. I was told I would be given a refund twice, then I was told to file a police report. The police aren't going to do anything about a $95 backpack, and I have no proof it was ever even delivered to my apartment complex. It was not left either at my front door or in the mailroom. I contacted the third party seller I bought from and the local post office, and was told that it's Amazon's responsibility. **** said that the package may have gone to a different address by mistake. Amazon is still refusing to either refund or replace the item. I paid with a gift card, so I can't dispute the charge with my bank. I pay for Prime delivery, so it shouldn't have been sent through the mail. A driver should have brought it to my door and taken a photo to document it.Business Response

As informed by our specialist team, Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a refund for this order at this time.

This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier."

I am rejecting this response because:this is the same generic response I was getting from Amazon before I filed the complaint. It even has the same mistake- *** not not ship the package, the postal service did. I have lost over $100 because of a missing delivery. I have yet to speak with customer service based in this country, and every reply sounds like it was written by **. I have been an Amazon customer for over a decade with no major issues. This is a lot of money to lose. It makes me reluctant to ever buy anything of value from the company ever again. I have spoken with my local post office and was told that the order could have accidentally gone to a different address and that Amazon is ultimately responsible.It has been a week already since it was supposed have been delivered. I would accept a replacement in lieu of a refund. I pay for Prime and it should have been delivered by Amazon to my door. Taking money without the customer getting a product they paid for is fraud.

So 4/19/2023 i was charged from amazon to an account that wasnt linked in anyway to amazon i had autopay linked with a credit card not with my debit card which IS linked to my bank which would then be linked to cashapp. That said my cashapp somehow got charged in my cashapp i had a set $ amount to pay for my girlfriends rent while she is away. That money should have never been touched. I reached out to amazon and no one could assist me, they either hung up on me let the chat time out or just ignored me. I dont believe that it is correct that they didnt have consent or access to my cashapp account but somehow they were still able to charge it without my knowing. I want to know how they were able to get to said account how they can charge without any type of consent and how this is ethically correctBusiness Response

As informed by our customer service representative, We were unable to charge your selected payment method for order #D01-8135665-5949031. To prevent cancellation of the subscription, the charge was applied to the backup payment method we have on file for you.
To manage your backup payment methods, visit your Amazon Wallet (*************************************), click "Manage backup payment method settings" and update your preferences.
Turning this feature off prevents orders and subscriptions from using a backup payment method and may cause service and delivery interruptions if your selected payment method fails.
Further, I see that a full refund has been issued for this order on April 20, 2023.
We hope to see you soon.Regards,
