I bought a set of coaster holders for 4" coasters and the item delivered is too small to hold 4" coasters. When attempting to return, I was told I had to pay a $7.99 fee for having it picked up, or I could bring it to a location several miles away. As I currently don't have a mean to get there, this is not an option. I explained it and the answer was that they provide a free return, I would just have to bring it to one of their locations. This is not what a "free return" is and not what is stated in the Amazon Primer agreement. Amazon changed this, so they don't have to pay for the pickup fees, but it is not what they sold/promised.This is for ORDER # ***-3763975-3189055, ordered 04-01-2023 for $16.74Business Response

I've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the return pickup charges.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

I am rejecting this response because:Amazon is making up their own "rules", invalidating contractual obligations and advertisements about "free returns". I want this "rule", which I never accepted as a contract change, to be removed and the free pickup to be provided as it is stated in their Prime agreements and in their product sales websites.
Sincerely,

I ordered a camera on Feb. 10, 2023 on Amazon, the price was USD ****** and the parcel was delivered on Feb.17, 2023. But as I am an overseas customer from *****, I used a proxy service for delivery so I eventually received the camera on March 8, 2023 in *****. After opnening, I found out the battery and lid were missing, so I bought a battery and SD a card locally. Then on March 10, I found out the camera was dysfunctional, so I contacted the customer service and asked for an extension of the returning timeframe and I mailed the camera back to ******* on March 10, 2023. Amazon **************** told me they would help me with the extended returning time and *** would pick the camera up. In my perception the the Amazon **************** extended an addtional one month period for my returning time,so i did not notice the original returning time has been expired on March 18, 2023. I spent RMB 457 (circa USD 66) for freight from ***** to *******. The carema has been delivered at my proxy address in ******* on March 29, 2023 but the Amazon **************** told me that the return window was expired when I contacted them to ask *** to pick the package up for returning to Amazon. *** would not pick the camera up,they refused my requirements, so I cannot return the goods and get the original USD ****** refunded. It is quite frustrating, I purchased a damaged damaged camera from Amazon, I cannot get a good communication with their customer service. I am both angry and desperate with this matter. Please check all the details of the matter attached. Can you help me reach a reasonable agreement with Amazon and solve this matter? Could you help me ask Amazon ether to replace the damaged camera with a similar model or get all the expenses and freight charges back? The camera I originally received has no proper use as it is damaged.I hope this issue can be solved soon, with your benevolent assistance. I am looking forward to your reply.Business Response

Thank you for your prompt reply but I do not accept this solution as there was an agreement between the Amazon **************** and me to extend the ****** returns. The camera was received dysfonctional and broken, this is why I return the item to you in the first place.
I offer the following resolution: can you have the actual camera I bought be repaired by the manufacturer and then send it back to me? This would be a reasonable solution.

Hello ****,
I am ***********;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 checked the details of the order and can confirm that the information provided earlier is correct.
Based on the age of the order, we won't be able to accept the return. However, as an alternative, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer for any assistance with the item. We won't be able to get the item repaired by the manufacturer as that isn't an option available for us.
I realize you're upset, and I regret 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 this matter.
We appreciate your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.Regards,

I am rejecting this response because:What if you buy something when you get it then find out it's dysfunctional but be refused to any offer,how do you feel that?What would you think/do ,in my situation?I wish you could still keep calm as an AI.
What I really regret the most is that Amazon is deeply stuck to its viewpoint and does not really open up to any compromise or any offer to make a win-win resolution between seller and buyer. Why have a conversation if we cannot discuss? Can you please open up and at least offer some compromise or some compensation, for example at least cover the shipping costs of the item I have already paid and i will pay in the future?
Thank you for a gesture of goodwill.

On March 30, 2023 I spent $134.15 on Amazon.com and they didn't give me the whole order. I explained to them and my bank explained to them that I paid for the items. They promised me the missing items. Now they are saying they still didn't get there money and this is the fifth time they have done this to me. I want to be reimbursed the full $134.15 and the rest of the items they promised. This is stealing and I won't tolerate it.Business Response

This is in regard to order no. 113-9238905-4363426 under the email address [email protected] bought this ****** Spraytech device on December 8. When in February it stopped working, I returned it to Amazon. It was received and, according to the website, a refund was issued that day. Between the time I purchased the device and March 8, I got a replacement debit card. For that reason, apparently the refund failed. Ive since spoken with Amazon customer service twice. Each time I am told that I can only get a refund by electronic gift card by the representative. I ask to speak to the supervisor because I want a check sent to me.The first time I spoke to a supervisor, they said Id receive the check in 3-5 days. That was two weeks ago. The second time I spoke to a supervisor, he or she said it would be two weeks. In a week, it will be one month since I sent the device. Im out $189, and cannot feet clear answers on where my money is located and/or when it will be received.Business Response

On Feb/08/2023 I bought an iPad from Amazon.com.When delivered on Feb/21/2023, the product was totally wrong version, and wrong color and sizing. But the customer service refused to a replacement as I requested, and I was told the only solution is that I return and order the same product with a higher price, and next, Amazon will refund the price difference. So I accepted the solution. However, after the new order was delivered on Feb/27, and return of the wrong product was received on Mar/03, the customer service refused to issue the refund of price difference they promised. I attempted to contact Amazon customer support again after a while, but both agent told me they cannot do anything but sent me the same email which said Amazon dont issue price match. Furthermore, the agent said they lied to me! I kept all the chat history with all agents as screenshots attached to this complain.Business Response

Hello Haokun,
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 price difference for Apple 2021 iPad Mini (Wi-Fi, 256GB) - Purple.
I apologies for the inconvenience that you have experienced in this case.
We don't price match. Amazon.in is marketplace which facilitates the sale and purchase of goods, items, products, etc. between third party sellers and customers. All prices are determined by sellers. As a result, Amazon doesn't offer price matching.
However as an one time exception for you I've issued the price difference of $75.00 to your original payment method. In most cases, once a refund has been submitted, the issuing bank will post it to the concerned account within 3-5 business days. This time frame may vary from one financial institution to another.
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.
Regards,
