We ordered a mattress from Amazon. Amazon FAILED to deliver the mattress and wants us to eat the cost of their mistake. Manufactured by ******* and delivered by Amazon. We paid $349.38 for the mattress. Several days pass and the tracking shows no progress--it had not been shipped despite the arrival date being a few days away. After no word, on April 4, we get a notification it was delivered and handed to resident. My girlfriend was home that day--there was nothing left at the door and no knock. Our apartment community is laid out in such a way that you can hear people coming up and down the stairs--we are on the top floor with one neighbor, and packages left at the door are not visible to passers-by. We contact amazon about the missing package and are told to wait a day, as it could still be delivered. We wait. No package. We contact them again and are told repeatedly that they will not issue a refund. They claim the package was delivered correctly because that is how it is logged (in their own system). It says it was handed to resident. We were never handed anything and never signed for anything. **************** has repeatedly told us to file a police report for the package which was NOT DELIVERED. They want to claim it was stolen so it is no longer their problem. This is NOT a small amount of money that we cannot just let go. We are incredibly upset with how unhelpful Amazon has been.Business Response

On Jan. 2 2023 I called Amazon customer service about deck tiles I had purchase July of 2022. During the Summer I paid $1400 to have the tiles installed. During the cold weather here in ********, the tiles curved upwards creating an uneven surface that was a trip/fall hazard for me and my 84 y/o Mother. After speaking with with Amazon CS, I was instructed to remove the tile, when the weather was better and return it for a full refund. In mid-February 2023 I paid $400 to have the tiles removed and packed for shipping, and they were returned. On 2/22/23 I spoke with CS and was told "once the carrier has received your package, it can take up to 2 weeks for us to receive and process your return." I called again 3/6/2023 and was again told they were processing the return. Again on 3/11/2023 I contacted Amazon CS and was told that it was checked AND confirmed that all the order was returned. In that same conversation I was told I had received a partial refund of $200.58 for order#***-9228669-4609820 and the balance of $1908.67 would be refunded by March 14, 2023 and for order#***-8892024-5560213 I had received $208.11 of the refund and would receive the balance of $927.64 by March 14th as well. March 15th I called and was told I would receive the balances owed on March 19, 2023. On March 23, 2023 I was told that the return had been sent over to investigations and I would hear from them within ********************************** I checked the status and again called CS and was NOW told there was a restock charge of $817.71. I was told I would receive a FULL refund because these tiles were defective and dangerous.Business Response

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 refund for the returned items from the Order ID: ******************* and Order ID: *******************.
I apologies for the inconvenience that you have experienced in this case.
Upon checking I see that you have been charged for return shipping charges as the return method was ********** and for restocking fee as the return window was expired. Unfortunately we are unable to issue the refund for the return shipping charges and the restocking fees.
Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

So I made an account with ********************** and I've had nothing but trouble ever since I made a order to order was over $25 so I should have got free shipping but what happened was they charged me twice once for the shipping and once for the merchandise when it should have been free then my account was put on hold it was frozen due to suspicious activity because I use my girlfriend's card I had to prove that the card was legit I had to violate my girlfriend's privacy more or less because I had to email them bank statements and everything with her name on it and stuff just so they can see that the car was legit all right the only thing that I had got out my order at that point was a pair of damaged headphones value of *********************************************************************************************************************** the mail then after all of that I tried to place a order this morning for a ****** Play card using their gift card but it still says using suspicious activity so they still froze my account even though I use their their money did they refunded me it still suspicious so now I have to jump through hoops and everything once again and I want the madness to stop like I would like compensation but I want the s*** to stop more importantly yeah I want my money back and maybe my sanity that they've made me lose happen to jump through hoops to be able to order something off of Amazon you know Amazon used to stand for something you know you used to help people but now I feel like it's only hurting people because they have to go through this and I've heard other problems through friends and coworkers and stuff they've had with Amazon and it just seems like a big rip off now you know wish even though you get yourself a month later at least you get it and if you ask for a refund at least they refund your money they don't freeze your account you know ******* ***** but hey it's better than Amazon at this point when Amazon used to be the top line that's about itBusiness Response

Hello *****,
I'm Praveen 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 had with the order.
I see that the order was sold by a seller named HexController and fulfilled/shipped by Amazon.
Here any issues with the item, you have to return the item back to Amazon and not the seller. As there is no return authorization from our side and the item wasn't returned to us, you will need to get in touch with the seller to return the item back to you.
Further, for misleading, I've forwarded the feedback to the concerned department so that they can take corrective action.

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. IBusiness Response

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.

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.Business Response

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.
Sincerely,Customer Answer

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.
Sincerely,
