It has almost been a year now my account has been suspend on Twitch for twitch.tv/wackywiller. I think it is annoying that you can only appeal your case once every 60 days. It is wrong that Big Twitch.TV can walk over the platform and only get suspended for a couple of hours or days.Business Response

You will be eligible to appeal your Twitch account suspension again on December 12, 2023, 6 months after the date on which your last appeal was submitted, by visiting the appeals portal located at *******************************;
Please note that appeals that are frivolous, that contain insufficient detail as to why the appeal should be granted, or that lack good faith effort to explain the appeal will not be granted and will also count as an attempted appeal, meaning another appeal will not be possible for 6 months.

Amazon 'suspended' my Prime account in August 2022. I've attempted numerous times to understand what the problem is, and have never received an explanation. Amazon 'customer service' representatives continually transfer my calls around the world, promise to send forms, etc., which they never do. I know this because when I request an OTP to reset the *** I get an automatic email from Amazon containing the code, Yet somehow, their representatives' emails don't arrive. In other words Amazon 'customer service' staff lie when they say they've sent me information. This has been going on for months.... lots of transfers, no action, no resolution of the problem. The only other way to contact Amazon is by logging on to the account -which of course I can not do! This lack of customer service is well documented- Business Insider just last week reported thousands of instances recently. Its not the first time.I want nothing further to do with Amazon. I want the Auto-shipment orders -that I can't cancel since I can't log on- cancelled. I want my account cancelled.

on April 8th 2023 Amazon.com illegally stole our property and refunded a buyer after the **** tracking # (**************************) showed delivered to mailbox along with us calling and confirming with a **** supervisor that the package was delivered to the buyer. Amazon.com declined our Safety Claim, blatantly breaching their written policy and also engaged in a felony crime of stealing mail (our package). We provided Amazon.com with all the evidence needed to show the buyer received their order (package) however Amazon.com responded by saying we didn't provide an accurate tracking #, If we are not reimbursed the refund they issued to the fraudulent buyer we will file a ************ report against the buyer and amazon, along with taking several legal routes to resolve this crime.Business Response

I bought an incorrect item on 2/26/23 for $16.40 and returned it within a day to Amazon for a refund. My Amazon account states that I should've received a refund to the credit card I used initially on 3/6, but as of today 4/8, I didn't receive the refund. There is no way for me to contact someone at Amazon to sort this out, hence this complaint. The account is under my wife's name, *********************************Thank you.******Business Response

Hi there,On February 16 we ordered Meta Oculus Quest 2 along with protection accessories. Due to family circumstances, we had to return both the ** set and its accessories. Since we had accessories from day ome, everyone was returned in top notch condition. You wouldn't even know anybody tried the product. We also returned the product by the indicated deadline - March 20. Attached *** tracking shows that the item was delivered. We also spoke with Amazon associates who confirmed the receipt of the ** set. However, it's been over 3 weeks and we still haven't received our refund. I don't understand what's taking so long? Did you guys forget to issue it? In any case, please see the status of the refund and let us know when should we expect it.

Amazon takes no responsibility when a package is delivered but the item is missing. I was told it was my own risk and the dimensions of the package was verified. How is it verified when the package is empty. This is not the first time Ive had this problem with Amazon. The Amazon driver took pictures of the delivered packages and its obvious that the envelope is empty. So whats the point in talking a picture. The first time this happened it was for a very expensive item this time it was just body wash but its my loss I guess. Its ridiculous that I have to pay for Amazon mistake. Ill be canceling my Amazon prime because Im not paying for something I did not receive and like I said this is not the first time this happened. Ive had prime for years and order almost daily but Ill be canceling. Order number 114-7360786-2962613Business Response

Thank you for providing the order number.
I would like to confirm that as per the standard returns policies, if you receive any item which doesn't meet the expectations or with any issue, you have to return the item for a full refund. We cannot grade the item and issue appropriate refund in this case. This has already been informed by our customer service department.
Unfortunately the only option in this case is to return the item. We are unable to issue any partial refund in this case.

Purchase a laptop from Amazon. Selected warranty offered. Broken computer. Tried to use warranty and Amazon won't cover and Asurion won't cover. Blaming each other. Says I didn't purchase a warranty for correct amount. I selected what was offered on the site. I was hung up on by ******* before telling me again they can't help. They offered me my money for the warranty only after I told them that they took my money for the warranty and didn't even offer to give it back since it wasn't correct. Asurion and Amazon should both be responsible for making sure customer purchase the correct warranty and there should be a system to check and call the customer if it's not.Business Response

**********************************************************************************
If you don't see the **** refund posted to your account, please contact your issuing bank for further assistance. Your bank can clarify how long it'll take them to post the refund.
If your bank has trouble locating the completed refund, please contact our Billing Specialists so they can investigate why this may be happening. You can email them directly at charge-*********************************** Please include:
- the order number if available
- the last 2 digits of the payment method
- the amount of the refund

If your account has been closed or canceled and you have another credit card with the same issuing bank, they can normally apply the refund to your new card. If you no longer have a credit card with the issuing bank, they should issue you a refund check.
I hope this helps.

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 your deliveries and have looked into the matter in detail. The order was delivered in different shipments at different points in time where the tracking details confirmed the delivery, considering this we will not be able to issue a refund. Regarding the chargeback, we will not be able to offer comment but assure you that the packages show delivered to the correct location.
Shipments that aren't received are inconvenient for you and costly for Amazon. Based on the outcome of our investigations, we believe the packages were delivered to the correct address. In particular we have considered information from our records, as follows which show the item was delivered:
- Information collected at the point of delivery.
- The package weight and reported condition upon delivery.
You may wish to contact your local police authorities to pursue this matter further.
If the issue isn't resolved after contacting local law enforcement and the carrier, please contact us back during the business hours of the related police department with a Police Report number, a link to access your Police Report, or a PDF/Image file of the Police Report. There are multiple ways to file a Police Report. Check with your local authorities for ways to file a report.
In order for us to validate your Police Report, it must be in a "Complete/Closed" state, be reported in the local jurisdiction (city, county, municipal) in which the package was reported delivered, and include the following:
- The delivery address regarding this incident.
- The items were delivered according to the carrier tracking.
- The report was created for stolen items/theft/larceny/incorrect delivery or similar crime.
- The date the report was created.
- The name of the police department.
- If the Police Report was created over the phone: The name and badge number of the reporting officer.
Were unable to accept Police Reports that are in pending or any other incomplete status, as well as reports not filed in the local jurisdiction in which the package was reported as delivered. The Police Report must be filed within 45 days of the delivery date to be considered for review. Only one Police Report is needed for all orders that are part of the same shipment. A separate Police Report is needed for orders delivered in different shipments.
To assist in obtaining a Police Report, we recommend that you provide a copy of this email to the police to help explain what has happened. We will happily cooperate with the police as part of any investigation.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Raman R.
