I ordered two twin sized bed frames that were supposed to be delivered 03/30/23 by **** Once they were marked as delivered, I went outside to retrieve them but they weren't anywhere to be found. I contacted *** who told me to contact Amazon. Amazon told me I must file a police report in order to get my refund. That was on 03/31/2023. I filed a report that day. I was told to provide all the police report information thru email, which I did. Then I was told I had to call and verify, which I attempted to do. Then, once on the phone, i've been ridiculed, disrespected, hung up on, etc. I keep getting redirected but no one can explain to me why I am not getting my refund after I've done everything Amazon asked me to do. I then received an email stating I must wait 50 days, then they'll decide if I am eligible for a refund. They clearly have an *** moneyback guarantee posted on their website that they are refusing to even acknowledge with me. I have asked for proof of delivery multiple times and they refuse to provide, stating that based off the weight that it was delivered. Isn't it fraudulent to post about a guaranteed refund if they can't prove it was even delivered? This is $300 worth of items that have just disappeared right along with my money. This is false advertising. This is illegal. My order number is 111-4337695-2013801 and 111-8101490-4171466. I

I do not authorize the listed transaction in my account, and apparently my account was hacked/breached for this purchase while I was travel out of country for business. I have attached my credit card invoice for March 2023 and there's no this disputed transaction you listed.
Again I do not know or see this camera, and I did not make this transaction, I do not purchase electronics in Amazon.ca as you can check all my purchase history in the past 10 years. I only use Amazon.ca to purchase small items or snacks/ coffee beans.
I would like to request an update on the progress of the investigation and an estimated timeline for resolving this issue. As a over 10-years loyalty Prime member, it would provide me with peace of mind to know that the matter is being handled promptly and efficiently.

Hello,

Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.

We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions. Customer raised a dispute on order ******************* for CAD 1557.72 and this dispute is closed in customer's favor. The payment for this order is still pending because of the dispute and customer needs to clear this debt to get their account active again.

Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.

We notified the customer of this decision by email on May 04, 2023.

I am not satisfied with my recent claim denial in reference to order # ***-9898182-1541043 via Amazon seller ***************, Inc.I purchased an iPHONE 12, in July for my daughter. Initially the phone seemed okay, but she realized after a time that the screen was not responding quickly and required the user to press harder to get it to react. She tried adjusting the sensitivity and a few other tricks that Apple Support online suggested. As we were trying all these things, it happens that the 30 days claim past.Once we realized that the screen was not installed properly on the phone, I started the process of trying to exchange the phone or simply return it for a refund. Those attempts proved unsuccessful via Avant. I then called customer service at ********************** and was repeatedly told, "We've got your back and will help you resolve this." I called on 12/7/22. I received my first email denial on 12/10/22. I called again on 12/11/22. I was told that the seller was contacted and I should get a return label within 2 days. The label never came. Amazon was to call me on 12/14/22 to check if the label came. I did not get a phone call. I called again on 12/17/22 to say the return label did not arrive. I was told the seller will not refund or replace the phone. An A to Z claimed was filed on that call. I was told an account specialist would investigate further and I would get a response in 1 week.On 12/22/23, I received and email with my second denial of claim. On 1/6/23, my third denial of claim was sent via email.On December 27, 2022, I went to the nearest Apple Store where it was confirmed that the screen was not installed properly nor was it a certified Apple screen, therefore the ********** I purchased was invalid. I was left with no other choice but to trade in the defective phone to Apple and purchase a new phone.In the end, Amazon and Avant Solutions cost me $571.95 for the original phone plus another $300 for the new phone for a total of $871.95.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with more information regarding the claim on order 113-9898182-1541043.
The A-to-Z claim on Order 113-9898182-1541043 has been closed because buyer did not contact the seller to report the issue within return window period.
Hence, we will not be able to reverse the decision on claim.

Complaint: 19908626

I am rejecting this response because: The issue was not identified until after the 30 days to contact the seller lapsed. Amazon repeatedly told me on the phone that they "have my back" and will rectify the situation. Even after explaining to them that the problem was not evident at first over and over, they still are protecting the seller by saying that I should have reported it in 30 days. Amazon or the seller or both should make good on their A to Z Guarantee or it is no guarantee at all.

Around the 16th of March 2023 my Amazon account was placed on hold due to a returned payment due to fraud on my chekcing account. The requested form and the payment was submitted on 3/29/23.The email from them states that the account will be unlocked in 2-3 business days. However my account remains locked and I am unable to access my digital purhases that have been paid for YEARS prior. They have charged me for subscriptions (STARZ) and refused to refund even though my account is one hold and I cannot access the material. I reached out to the company multiple times, I even tried to response to the email they send me and was sent back an email stating that it was a no reply email address. I called customer service multiple times and spoke to ****, ***, ***********************, ********, *****, *****, ****, and Faith over the last 10 days. When I did I was advise to email the receipts to an email address ***************************************** and it would be handled in 24 hours. I still have yet to get a response over 24 hours later. **** a supervisor said he sent an email to the buyer protection program team..... but at this point I either need my money for my digital purchases back, or may account taken off hold so I can access what I paid for. At this point I have tried multiple ways to find a resolve and I am not getting anywhere on my own.

I had several items that I needed to return to Amazon so I called amazon at the end of March to request a return with pick up from my home because I don't drive due to health restrictions. The representative told me that they didn't have any options available for pick up from my home and if I were to arrange to get the items back to amazon I would be compensated with a credit to my account for the fare and trouble. I confirmed this with a supervisor who stated they notated my account regarding the credit. On Tuesday April 4, 2023 at 5:52 PM CST I call Amazon to request the credit, because I used a Uber to get the items to my nearest *** Store. The Sup requested a email of the receipt from Uber be sent to confirm the amount that was spent, which I immediately sent to the requested email address and they issued a promotional credit to my account. No information was disclosed regarding the type of credit I received and limitations it entails. When I tried to make purchases on Amazon the credit was not being reflected. I called Amazon again on Friday April 7, 2023 at 9:43 AM CST, to inquire about the credit to my account. The first agent ****** told me I could only use the credit on items that were sold and fulfilled by Amazon. I had 5 items in my cart that I wanted to purchase and 4 of the 5 were Prime items. The rep stated they were not eligible for the credit. I also discovered that the return items could have been picked up from my home all along, which would have saved me time and money. I asked to speak to a Sup and was transferred to Sup Jethel. This was a terrible encounter and I will cancel Amazon Prime because of it. This Sup offered no assistance, didn't review any of the items in my cart to assess what could be done regarding my request. No sympathy was offered and no resolution. I am appalled at how I have been treated by this Sup, she did not take any ownership regarding the issues and was very rude and distasteful. I will shop with Target and ********

Hello ******,

I'm Pratap 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've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the redemption of promotional credit and the previous customer service representative.

I apologies for the inconvenience that you have experience in this case. I've forwarded the feedback against the previous representative to the leadership team.

Unfortunately we are unable to cancel the promo credit and issue it in the other form of credit.

As informed previously promotional credit will automatically apply the next time you order an eligible item sold and shipped by Amazon.com. You will not see the credit on your account but you will see the credit applied to your account on eligible order sold and shipped by Amazon at the checkout page under the head "promotions applied". The items "sold and shipped by Amazon" can be found on the website and it will written under the item price.

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance in this matter.

On April 5th Amazon applied a charge of $10.93 to my seller account and is in the process of deducting this from my bank account. I am disputing this charge because they cannot tell me why this amount was charged to my account. It simply shows up as "other." I have asked them twice for a specific reason for this charge and both times they cut and paste a response that is unacceptable because it does not explain this charge. I will attempt to attach the screenshots of my attempts to resolve this with Amazon and they're cut and paste nonsense.
Business Response

Greeting from Amazon Services,

We understand the Selling Partner is asking what the charge of $10.93 on their credit card was for.

When **************** purchase shipping services, the carrier charges are based on the information they provide for the package. Carriers subsequently send Amazon reports with details of the services they have provided to the Selling Partner. If a charge from a carrier is different from the original charge for the shipping services they purchased, a carrier adjustment may be applied to the seller account.

This charge is related to amount of shipping the Selling Partner paid for Order 111-2404326-0747417 which was shipped on 2/23/2023:
Carrier amount: $21.41
Seller paid: $10.48
Amount due: $10.93

Complaint: 19908755

I am rejecting this response because: this is my best selling item and I happen to know that the item itself weighs 14 oz. If it was a two pack it would have been 28 Oz plus the weight of the box which would have still been less than 3 lb. Even if I selected the incorrect service I still don't believe it would have been $21 and change to ship from ************** to Nevada. I guess we're just at an impasse. If Amazon had explained all this in the beginning we wouldn't have had to have gone through all of this. I very much appreciate the Better Business Bureau and there acting as an intermediary I usually ship these in Regional rate box a. However even if I had I accidentally used a medium flat rate box the rate would have only been $17.10. You can verify this by going to USPS.com and using my ************** and the zip code of the customer which is ***** and you will see even if I had accidentally used a priority mail rate box, size medium the cost would have been $17.10

I have also included a screenshot of my bank account details showing the manufacturer's bank account information and photos of the product itself.Despite my attempts to contact the brand owner, they have not responded, and they are unable to withdraw this complaint.

They suspended my account and not accepting my appeals.In the suspension letter, Amazon indicated that my account was linked to an account called "dronchikkrovopisas". This name is fully consistent with the data of my store. I made a call and found out that the related account is my own account, but on the French market. I never planned to sell in Europe, but I made a mistake during the registration itself and indicated the need to open all the marketplaces on Amazon. That's why they are all available, but blocked and waiting for verification, which I didn't do because I wasn't interested in selling in Europe. However, the problem is more than that. French marketplace does not give me an option to REINSTATE THE ACCOUNT. I would like to point out that I never logged in there until I got blocked for being related. I have no way to get verified for reasons unknown to me. I created cases and made calls, but I get answers that the channel is unavailable. So how do you think I can reinstate a linked account if Amazon doesn't even give me that option? What a vicious circle and discrimination. And in general it's absurd that my account is linked to my account, but on another market. It's ONE account, just in different regions. I don't want to sell elsewhere, so why should I activate the marketplace there? I would just close them, but Amazon won't even give me that option.I sell ONLY in *******. I am NOT interested in the other regions and have no plans to sell there. I am asking you to contact Amazon and reinstate my US marketplace. I did not and do not plan to sell anything on Europe. These marketplaces were created by mistake.

I ordered 2 containers of honey (Order date Apr 1, 2023 Order #***-4082504-3153816 Order total $ ***** (2 items) from Amazon on April 1, 2023. When I got them, I opened one and it had a chemical type smell and it burned my tongue. I opened the other one and it didnt have a safety seal on I, so I was afraid to even try it. I immediately notified Amazon customer service and everyone kept saying it was not returnable. I said ok, just refund me then. One customer service agent , I spoke to 3-4, told me to throw the honey away and someone higher up would be in contact with me. They finally emailed me and just told me to contact the merchant. I didnt buy the honey from them. I bought it from Amazon. That makes Amazon liable for me receiving defective, dangerous honey! My tongue got burned from tasting some of that honey. I told them that and they didnt even address it. They just keep telling me via email to contact the manufacturer of the honey. I want a full refund from Amazon. I was hurt by a product they sold me, so they are liable. I want $50 for pain and suffering and them not handling this situation right. I also want the $***** I paid for the honey. I was hurt and they didnt seem to care. I believe they should apologize for this whole situation. They kept telling me it was a safety hazard to take it back, but it already was a safety hazard ..to me Bc it burned my tongue Bc of the chemical or whatever was in there. Well, their customer service agent told me just to throw them away.My tongue is finally starting to heal. Its been 6 days of extreme pain on my tongue from whatever was in that honey.I have bought that brand many many times Bc I love it and never had that happen before. Im disappointed Amazon would treat a customer like this by not apologizing, refunding and contacting the manufacturer themselves.
