      Hi!I want to fail a complaint against Amazon since they didn't consider my situation in detail. My Amazon.com selling account was deactivated because of an intellectual property issue. I sent multiple appeals addressing the issue but every time I received a template response. For my recent submissions, Amazon even didn't answer. I contacted the Account Health Team, and they suggested to me how to make the appeal stronger, I followed it, but Seller Performance Team didn't look into the details. They just immediately denied my appeals.I lose hope to reactivate the account by appealing via Seller Central so I kindly ask you to escalate my concern. This business is highly important for my team and me. Please, help me to reactivate the account. I attach my last submitted Plan of action.

      Hello,

      I'm ***************;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.

      Were sorry to hear that you havent received your item(s) from order #***-0240776-0413062.

      Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a REPLACEMENT/REFUND for this order at this time.

      At this time, Amazon isn't able to resolve shipping problems after delivery, as outlined on our website in our Conditions of Use, noted under 'Risk of Loss' which states: "All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract.

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

      At the beginning of 2023 Amazon changed to **** being the primary shipping service at my home. Unfortunately, my address is out of bounds with **** and I cannot receive packages. I have called multiple times and spoken with many agents. On 3/21/2023 I spoke with a gentleman named ******* (******?). (Ticket # V861880704) He mentioned that they can de-prioritize the **** so that the system will use any other shipping provider before the ****. He told me it would be 3-4 weeks to go into effect. On 4/10/2023 I called back. I spoke with one individual named ***** who said ******* never filed a ticket and placed no notes for the call. She said she would file it again and it would take up to **** business days to process. I explained that this should have already been done and the ball was dropped by Amazon and needed to be escalated and handled faster than **** business days. I have horse medications I need to order. She refused and refused to transfer to her supervisor. (Ticket # V877598002)I called back and spoke with a supervisor named ***** who said yes, ******* did file that de-prioritization and that it went though and to go ahead and order and it would ship any other carrier. I placed my order.The evening of 4/10/2023 I get an email that my items shipped ****! I called back on 4/11/2023 and spoke to a gentleman named ***** to transferred me to *******. ******* looked up the information and said that he sees the ticket but that the option to de-prioritize no longer exists and that the system is going to continue to pick ****!I tried to avoid this by shipping to my office, but Amazon Logistics cannot follow delivery instructions and deliver during business hours. All of this can be avoided by shipping any other provider than **** to my home - since they will not even load packages on the truck. I cannot make it to the post office to pickup due to work hours.

      I am rejecting this response because: Amazon did not do anything to address the issue, and the way this reads they will not do anything unless it comes from me through their system.  I have tried this and it has failed miserably each time - hence why I am going through the BBB. I am putting my email address below for them to look up the account, since it appears they were unable to look it up by the ticket numbers listed in the original response. I already cancelled my business account (although ********************** is making it extremely difficult to get my refund of the membership fee returned to me.)  Basically, if they cannot stop using **** to ship to my home (where **** does not deliver packages!) then I will be cancelling my Prime membership and requesting a full refund of the remaining membership fee.

      Hello ***************************,


      I'm ***** 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.

      I'm sorry for the trouble you've had with your order. Were currently unable to make any requests related to the carriers that deliver your orders.

      For future orders, you might want to try selecting different shipping options; however, we can't guarantee that a particular carrier will deliver your package. You can edit Delivery Preferences for your addresses. Learn more about your options on the following page:

      Complaint: 19921637

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This response from the Business does not address the issue at all - rather is just saying "oh well - too bad".  Per my original complaint - I have been using the "delivery preferences" for close to 2 years.  When Amazon say's "May not be followed" that should be replaced with "Will never be followed".  They may as well not have delivery preferences.  In the 2 years I have had my business hours (and extensive notes about when the office closes) the only times they delivered during business hours is when I call because I didn't get my package and they showed up 2 hours after my office closed.  I have spoken directly to the logistics manager here for our area and he point blank told me that "delivery instructions are just a request that he does not have to honor".

      I had been unable to respond to the business here after the last response, until just today.  I did however respond to them via email directly (As they sent the email to me directly). 

      Since this is a bit behind the times, allow me to update.  I received another response from them, which is a contradiction of this response and previous ones.  Originally they have stated there is nothing they can do regarding stopping shipment via a certain carrier - Now they are saying they have made an exception and given priority to other carriers which may take up to 3 weeks - BUT that **** may still deliver packages as they are the only ones assigned to certain deliveries.  This is exactly what I have been going through on the phone.  1 Agent says they can do this, another says they can't, another one says they did it (but doesn't) and the next one says none of the previous conversations were had because there are no notes or tickets (even when I have ticket #s.)

      IF this truly works to stop deliveries from ****, I will accept it.  If not (Which I suspect it won't) then I want my Prime cancelled and both my business account and personal account REFUNDED the remaining (Not a credit I cannot use).  Amazon has been making my life miserable refusing to actually refund my Prime membership on my business account.  It is stuck as a credit I will never use and will not allow me to direct deposit it saying it is a "digital" item.  I have sent in 3 requests for a check to be mailed - which I am told by AR they can do - but it has not been done.


      Sincerely,

      Hello ****,

      I am Raman 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 see the concern that you have shared with reference the defect on your order and have reviewed the options in detail. The return window on this product expired March 25, 2023, we will not be able to issue a return label or a refund in this case. 

      Our returns procedures state that within 30 days of delivery of your order, you may return most merchandise in new condition, with the original packaging and accessories, or any defective merchandise, for a full refund.

      I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual and/or contacting the manufacturer to see if the problem in question is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

      Most manufacturers list contact information on the product packaging.

      If you can't find the information there, you might want to try doing a web search to find their phone number or website.

      I hope this helps. 

      Regards,
      Raman R.

      MCR Prime Designs // ShopAwayUSA (A2L32FZ98ZKA65)Dear *** or Madam,My name is *************************, and I am the owner of an Amazon.com store, MCR Prime Designs. My Amazon seller account was deactivated on May 23, 2022, and has remained inactive since I received the email with this notification. I have been trying to contact Amazon in many ways in the hopes of reinstating my account, but I have not received any substantive response or a detailed explanation as to why my account remains suspended.When my account was deactivated, Amazon did not provide me with a reason for this inactivation, in this notification, they just indicated to me that funds would not be transferred to my account while they worked to address this issue. To make matters worse, Amazon has locked me out of my Seller Central account and is refusing to release the proceeds from sales my store made last year, prior to my suspension. Amazon has now held these funds for well over 180 days; at this point, I am certain that Amazon has completed its review of my account and that there are no pending customer claims, chargebacks, refund requests, or other outstanding fees that might necessitate holding these funds any longer.I truly dont know where to turn for help: I cannot access my account, Amazon isnt considering my appeals, and my money has been frozen. If I only knew the basis for Amazons decisions, I could take steps to cure any deficiencies and allay their concerns. Unfortunately, I remain almost totally in the dark and lack any instructive guidance. Accordingly, I must ask the Better Business Bureau for its assistance in this matter. I hope you can appreciate the seriousness of my predicament, which Im certain affects many other business owners and Amazon sellers. Please investigate this situation and do whatever you can to push Amazon to fairly consider my appeal and release my funds. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

      I believe that Amazon has made an arbitrary decision regarding the release of held funds. They have not provided any valid reasons for stating that my account was used to engage in fraudulent or illegal activities. Currently, my funds are still being held, and my account remains blocked.

      I kindly request additional information about this decision as I find it unfair. During a video call with Amazon, I presented all necessary documents, including invoices and other legal documents, providing them with all the information they requested.

      I am Raman 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 see the concern you have shared with reference the return on your Order ID: ******************* and have looked into the matter in detail. We will not be able to issue a refund at this time. 

      We need the return to be received and the items verified at our processing center before a refund can be issued. While the tracking does show a delivery, we do not have any other information about the attributes of the package or any other information. 

      Considering this, I would recommend you reach the carrier to investigate how the package was delivered and see if the item can be retrieved. In this case, as a self paid label was used, we recommend you purchase insurance while shipping the return going forward. For now, I'd recommend you reach the carrier to investigate. 

      I realize you're upset we've been unable to address your concerns to your satisfaction. However, we'll not be able to offer any additional insight or action on these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response.

      We appreciate your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

      Regards,
      Raman R.

      Ordered a racing seat from Amazon.ca, total cost of $447.99. Order number is 701-0634373-4509833. Took receipt of it on March 6th, 2023.Didn't fit correctly for what I needed, so I requested to return it. Amazon accepted the return, and provided a *** shipping label, 1Z30E7549169179185.*** tracking shows Amazon having received the return the morning of March 21st, 2023.Since then, I have been in contact with Amazon on multiple occasions regarding the status of my refund, and each time have been provided zero information other than a shifting deadline for them to quote, "investigate on your concern." First April 6th, then April 11th, and now April 20th.

      Hello ****,

      I am Raman 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 see the concern you have shared with reference the Order ID: ******************* and have looked into the matter in detail. The refund has already been issued on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 to your original payment method, the VISA. 

      You should see the refund in 3-5 days on your statement. 

      A refund can take upto 30 days after being received by the carrier to be processed, but often it is way sooner. We really appreciate your patience while you refund was processing. 

      We appreciate your feedback and have forwarded it to the correct team internally. 

      I hope this helps. 

      Regards,
      Raman R.

      I purchased a PlayStation 5 from Amazon. It was to be delivered the same day. I was home and waiting for it. I recieved notification that it was delivered, however upon checking it was not. There was no picture provided proving that it was delivered to my address. Amazon would not remediate. Amazon asked that I contact police, however when I inquired I was told it was an internal Amazon issue and that they would have to handle it (as it was being delivered by Amazon themselves). It has been two weeks and Amazon refuses to refund.

      This issue is getting ridiculous. I have spoken with over a dozen of your representatives and gotten different responses from each. I have spoken with police, who mentioned (as stated numerous times), that because Amazon allegedly delivered this item while I was home, near the door, with the window open, and I know it was not received as reported, that it is an Amazon issue. 
       
      Please understand that I am a customer who orders from your company multiple times a week. I have had issues in the past where items have been delivered to the incorrect address, and was able to see this because an image was provided by your delivery driver. This protocol was not done in this situation. I can not find what house this was delivered to and play investigator for your company. I have been patient and understanding, however I am frustrated. You have sent me threatening messages and emails stating my account will be cancelled if I persue this matter, and I find that asinine. That is why I contacted, and am including the BBB in this matter. I will not be bullied into letting go of a matter of this cost. Please understand that I am trying to be patient, but after saving for months and this item not arriving, I am losing my faith in your company and patience with the situation.
