On 4/2/23, I placed an order 113-3776694-2172248 . The items arrived broken upon receipt. I filed a return with the refund being issued on my gift card balance. Items returned were SPUNKYJUNKY Large Ceramic Dog Bowls, Heavyweight Food Water Bowl Set. On 4/7/23, Amazon received the item tracking number 1Z6E56739027446170. When its a gift card balance a refund is issued within an hour of receipt of the item. I emailed Amazon about my refund and was told to give the refund until the next morning by 11am. I didnt get the refund. I called again and was told my complaint was forwarded to the right department and give it 2-3 days yet nothing. Amazon cannot lie and say I have to wait 21 days for a refund as a generic defense because days later within that same order number I returned some ankle straighteners that also were defective and I received my refund within an hour also to my gift card balance. I will never file a return through Amazon using the gift card balance return. I want my refund ASAP $31.96 + taxes. All the money I spend on this **** company and this is how they treat customers.

Hello!We are writing to the BBB team with a request for assistance in removing a review that we believe is misleading to other customers. The review in question was written by Mr. ********************** who expressed dissatisfaction with the storage and shipping of our product by Amazon (ASIN B08VDRMGJP). Review's link: www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/**************. He explicitly stated in his review, "Try storing and shipping them at the temperature the product recommends Amazon." However, it is important to note that the responsibility for storage and shipping lies with Amazon and their employees. As the manufacturer and third-party seller, we do not have the ability to influence the quality of storage and shipping (Amazon Fulfilment).Our product's packaging clearly and legibly states that it should be stored in a cool place and away from direct sunlight (please refer to the warning text on the packaging). Mr. ****** also requested that Amazon follow our recommendations. We believe that potential customers may be discouraged from purchasing our product for fear of receiving a melted product. Ultimately, our brand and product's reputation suffers as a result.We would like to emphasize that ************************* does not say any criticism of our product. On the contrary, he liked the product.We offer our assistance to customers and have even created inserts for assistance with returns so that every customer can receive what they ordered. We would appreciate any help the BBB team can provide in removing this review. Weve already contacted Amazon, but have not received help.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We look forward to hearing from you.Best regards,BioVit store

Hello! Dear BBB team,We are writing to report on the review posted by user **** on the **** ********** product page on Amazon.ca, link: www.amazon.ca/product-reviews/RFU6R31E7OX4N, which contains false, inaccurate, and abusive information that damages the reputation of our product and brand.The entire comment does not refer to SUNATORIA brand's product, but to an entirely different product. Thus, this brand receives, albeit questionable, but advertising through the publication on our brand's page. It is worth noting that Tresemme shampoo is also sold on the Amazon website.**** refers to a class-action lawsuit filed against Tresemme shampoo (TRESemm brand), which has no relation to our product. Moreover, the class-action lawsuit was filed against a group of ingredients, not only one DMDM Hydantoin.On the contrary, government organizations regulate the safety of this (DMDM Hydantoin) ingredient in cosmetic products. Materials supporting this fact can be found here: ************************************************************************************************************************************ would like to emphasize that ****'s review does not describe our product and contains false arguments that *** mislead our potential customers. This could cause serious harm to our reputation and business as a whole.We have already requested Amazon to remove this review, but our request has been ignored. We value our reputation and brand, and it is important to us that our potential customers receive accurate information about our product. We are confident that Amazon and BBB share our concern for honesty and fairness in reviews of our products and hope for your support in this matter.Sincerely,SUNATORIA Store.

Had an account with ********************** under the email ****************** .., after creating it I added a bunch of money to my account to the gift card section and was able to purchase a couple things before discontinuing use for almost a year and a half from being incarcerated and no longer able to log into my account as this was also the problem for when I got out and my phone number had been an active from not being able to pay my bills so long and now unable to access my account. I have called Amazon and they told me they would shut the account off and not credit me any of my money which is absurd to me that they could steal from me and not expect this to upset me as I am a very little customer and I bought many things from this website!

I created an Amazon account on March ******* with the email account ********************** and I had purchased 2 Amazon gift cards both were cash purchases at my local 7 eleven one for $65.00 and another for $30.00 . I then added those to my account and they were accepted. i then made a purchase for 2 pairs of dickies pants and that is when my account was put on hold and the trouble began. they asked me to verify my method of payment which was the gift cards so i sent a picture of one of the receipts for the amazon gift card of $65.00 with the matching gift card. They responded stating that they reviewed my information but were unable to verify it. they then closed my account and my $95.00 in amazon gift card money was stolen in the process as i tried calling them numerous times only to be ignored and pretty much letting me know that there account specialist(A.I. Algorithm) would be reaching out to me about this mishap. The response i recieved back was to login and turn in the documents requested(proof of payment) which i had previously done. As I clicked the link provided there was no option for me to turn in documents i was just told my account was closed and they kept my $95.00

Spent $580 on an Opal ice machine (new) and received an opened and used ice machine from Amazon. Several attempts of reaching out to their customer service have still not resolved my issue. They now have the returned item and are refusing to refund me. I was told there is nothing they can do and that Ill have to wait up to a month before they can address the issue as its an automated process. This is absolutely unacceptable. I returned the item as requested so that I can be promptly refunded and this is not what is happening. Amazon lying to customers, selling used goods as new, and refusing to refund items returned back to them is extremely frustrating and illegal. They need to be reported so that more customers do not have these experiences. *** tried escalating to management and was refused a transfer each time I requested it. Id like an immediate response and resolution to this issue.

I've reviewed the compliant and understand your concern regarding the refund for the returned item GE Profile Opal 2.0 | Countertop Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank | Ice Machine with WiFi Connectivity | Smart Home Kitchen Essentials | Black Stainles

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

Once the carrier receives your return package, it can take a while to arrive at our *************** In most situations, returns are processed by Amazon in 14 days. In some situations, it may take longer. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.

Although the return has been marked as delivered, the ************** has to complete the return processing before the refund is initiated.

As soon as your return is processed, we request a refund to your payment method and send you an email confirmation. Once we issue your refund, it takes additional time for your financial institution to make funds available in your account. Refer to our Refunds page for more information:

**************************************************************************************

If you don't hear from our ************** by May 14th, 2023 , please write back so we can find out what happened.

I was locked out of my Amazon account over 3 weeks ago. I have contacted Amazon customer service repeatedly about this problem. I have provided them all of the information they have requested repeatedly including sending them photos of my drivers license at least 3 times and I still am not getting a response from Amazon. The last time I contacted them was this morning, 16 April 2023. I was again assured that it was being corrected and I would be contacted within 2 hours with access to my account. I was never contacted and I still do not have access to my account. I have been charged for products I do not need or want because I cannot get into my account. I did request from one of their customer service agents to cancel the order and was assured that it had been but, the product was still charged and shipped to me. I have been charged for my Prime membership which I cannot access since I cannot access the account. I have been charged for my Audible membership which I cannot access. I have been charged for channels I cannot access and I cannot access the Alexa *** that I use to control smart devices in my home.
