I purchased a mattress on 1/10/23 and received it on 1/12. This is my first time purchasing this brand, and I chose it specifically because they offered the 100 night trial. My return window is open until 4/23, and I started the return on 4/10. They set up a return label with *** who refused the pickup, because they do not take expanded mattresses. I called back, and they said another courier would be contacting me within *********************************** This happened twice. When I called back, they told me to contact the manufacturer, so I called Tuft and Needle. Everyone that I spoke to said that they don't have a way to refund me since it's sold by Amazon. I have call logs documenting 6-7 hours of trying to resolve this by speaking to ***, ************** and around 20 different people from Amazon, including the special handling department and multiple supervisors. They won't refund unless it's returned, but they do not follow through with processing a pickup for return. The final person that I spoke to said that all couriers are refusing to pick up expanded mattresses since covid. If they know this, then why are they still setting up the pickup? That's not my fault, but they still refuse to refund it. Amazon's mattress policy states that you can request a return or refund for any reason within 100 days of receipt of shipment, so this does not adhere to their policy. Amazon reiterates this free trial in 4 places on the product page - in the title, in 3 of the descriptions, and the Tuft and Needle confirms it in the questions and answers section. When I point this out, they say they've given me all the information in front of them, that there's nothing they can do, and then they hang up. This has happened 4 times. I've done my due diligence, and since there are no other options, I have disputed the charge with my credit card for fraudulent advertising and failure to honor their policy or inform the customer of any stipulations regarding that policy.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Their policy does not state anything about health and safety regulations. It simply says that you can request a return or refund for ANY reason within 100 days of purchase. Their product page is making fraudulent claims, because it also says in 4 places that you're entitled to 100 days trial and free return. I've spoken with the manufacturer who confirms that Amazon agreed to these terms and conditions for a free 100 day trial, as this mattress was formulated exclusively for Amazon. Amazon continuously refuses to acknowledge their policy and blatant lying.

I purchased cookware off of Amazon. It was advertised as dishwasher safe, oven safe, cool to the touch and will not spot. When I received them there was a note stating that hand washing is recommended because the color fades (first discrepancy). I did hand wash most of the time but there were times that I put them in the dishwasher. After approx the 5th time in the dishwasher, they came out spotted, inside and out. Also, when cooking, I noticed that the lids were too hot to touch (discrepancy #2). Approx 5 1/2 weeks later while cooking, paint melted off a pot onto the stove. The stove was not on high heat. I contacted the seller and told them what had happened and all they said was that it was passed the 30 day window, contact the manufacturer and ask for a replacement. I contacted the manufacturer (Granite Stone) and they said that since I purchased from a third party off Amazon I had to address the issue with them. I notified Amazon of the communication with the third party seller and the manufacturer. The agent stated that they would refund me and then have the seller reimburse them. A few days later, Amazon emailed me a denial of my complaint, I appealed and they denied that stating the 3o day window expired. I responded and asked for reconsideration because I cannot control faulty manufactured items and I don't feel it is right to lose my money. Unfortunately, they have not acknowledged or responded to my request. I have included a thread of communications with AmazonBusiness Response

Hello,
We reviewed the information provided and decided to uphold our original decision on the A-z claim on order 114-2846259-0555466. We took this decision because the buyer did not contact the seller within the returns window of 30 days after receiving the product. The order is no more eligible for a refund from A-z claim's perspective.

Complaint: 19940754
I am rejecting this response because: although the note stating that it is recommended to hand wash the items came with the order was different from what was on the website and the handles were too hot to touch, I tried dealing with these issues which were inconsistent with the statements on the site. These issues came to light prior to the 30 day window, unfortunately, the paint melting while cooking is an issue that I cannot overlook and it came to light after the 30 day window. I could not contact the seller on this issue within 30 days if it did not present itself until after the 30 day window and I immediately reached out to them when it happened. They are not denying these deficiencies nor are they disputing my claim that there could be a health hazard given the paint melting. They are only holding to the 30 day window. I am concerned about health hazards and again, I immediately reached out to them when the issue presented itself. We are talking about $109, there is no reason to not return my money given the fact that they sold a defected product.

Complaint: 19940571
I am rejecting this response because: The main issue is that the Amazon driver illegally entered our **** mailbox. That is a Federal offense. Delivery instructions clearly state deliver to front door. The other issue is that the driver lied and said "handed directly to resident". They did not. This a repeat nonconformance. Amazon has not taken action with this driver. If Amazon does not correct this with the driver
The other issue is that I attempted to cancel the order and Amazon claimed the order was already being processed when in fact the order actually shipped almost 5 hours after I tried to cancel. There was plenty of time for Amazon to cancel the order and they failed to do so.

Amazon offers same day delivery on products that are not in stock. This is false advertisement. on top of that I have had multiple amazon employees lie to me about my order and lie to me about the process to cancel the order. This has happened to me multiple times with amazon and I am sick of it. They over promise and under deliver. I am not sure what can be done but to my understanding if a company lies to get people to spend money with them then it is deception and false advertisement. Amazon should not be allowed to make false claims and take my money until a product has actually shipped.Business Response
