On 3/20/23 I returned Amazon order #***-9395933-4448234 in the amount of $17.99 which was paid with a gift card. I needed to exchange it for a smaller size. I spoke with ******** ****************** who stated as soon as the item is dropped off at **** the refund would be posted in my gift card account within a few hours. I called again later because I still didnt have the refund, and I was then advised by **************** that the refund would not post until the item is received on 4/10/23. I was given wrong information by their representative and I am requesting the refund of $17.99 be posted to my Amazon gift card account immediately per their original instructions.Business Response

ORDER # ***-1358762-0681013 Turbotax is defective. The state return is not filling out a form correctly and there is no way to manually override the error. Please arrange for carrier pickup and refund my card in full.Business Response

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 am sorry to hear of the concern you have shared with the Tax application and have reviewed the options. I am afraid, as the item is past the return window and is a downloadable software, we will not be able to accept a return at this time.
The item was ordered Saturday, November 26, 2022 and the return window expired on January 31, 2023.
However, you do have options. I would strongly recommend you reach the manufacturer for technical assistance on this issue. Turbotax offers free U.S.-based product support, and also offers assistaance with extended window return options in eligible cases.
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.

My account was blocked for suspicion of selling inauthentic Fluke brand products.The last sales of this product on my account were in May 2021. My account was blocked a couple of months ago. They demanded invoices. I had a hard time finding invoices from my supplier for this product and provided them. However, they cannot accept it. At first they argued that the invoices were supposedly old (according to their rules they must be within 365 days). But I wonder how can I make such an invoice if the last time I bought this item and sold it on Amazon was spring 2021? I tried to explain this, but they keep refusing to reinstate my account.I have only sent appeals without invoices from here on out. But I keep getting rejections. I don't understand what else I need to do. I am asking for help to reinstate my account.Business Response

I received a gift card has a gift that I redeemed on my account that was in good standing. My account was hacked and I couldn't login. Amazon canceled the order that was not placed y me and locked my account. I received an email saying I that my account was locked for suspicious activities and that I would need to verify my account in order for the account to be unlocked. I have sent in documents countless times trying to verify. Until they sent me a message saying the will close my account. After my password was changed not by me but by whoever hacked my account. After countless emails and phone calls there as been no resolution.Business Response

On January 28, 2023, I purchased a VR device on ****************** (the amount is about $430). When I received the product, a large number of ants crawled out of the device. I contacted the Amazon customer service staff, and the staff handled the return and requested Send the device back to ************************ contacted the logistics company, and the company told me that the cost was expensive (the amount was about $326). I immediately contacted the Amazon customer service staff, and the customer service staff told me that they would assist in reimbursement of the shipping fee.After I sent the device back to **********************, I submitted the receipt provided by the logistics provider to Amazon to apply for reimbursement of the freight, but Amazon was only willing to reimburse $150.I really can't accept it. It's not that consumers are unwilling to pay, but because Amazon provides a defective product, and consumers have to pay an additional shipping fee of about $176 because of the defective product provided by Amazon, and they are unwilling to admit that it is Amazon's responsibility.Business Response

Were sorry to hear that you havent received your items from order(s) #***-2955560-6200268 and #***-0905104-6837835.
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." See ************************************************************************************ for more information.
We advise you to contact **** in order to pursue this matter further. We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.
Thank you for your understanding.
