      I have a problem with my Amazon account that needs immediate ************** has to do with the fact that Amazon has not paid me from my account for 4 months now. There is over $50,000 accumulated in the account. My account is perfectly fine, I can sell merchandise. The money is coming into my account, but I can't withdraw it. And the most interesting thing about this situation is that they don't even tell me the reasons for this withholding. Since December I have created several cases, which are still pending. No one is giving me any information. On what basis are they withholding this amount of money?I have been calling them a lot lately and only getting promises that my case will be reviewed and resolved. But how long do I have to wait? I already can't run my business normally for the last 4 months.I need your prompt help in resolving this situation.

      I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the refund process for the items I returned to your company. I returned three items and selected the option to receive a gift card within 2 to 4 hours after dropping off the items at a *** store. However, I have yet to receive the refund.To my surprise, when I checked the status of the return on your website, it did not even show that I had already dropped off the items and that they had been delivered. This is unacceptable and has caused me a great deal of frustration.After waiting for the expected time period, I contacted your customer service to inquire about the refund. I was informed by a supervisor that your policies had recently changed and that it could take up to 2 weeks for the refund to be processed. This was not stated anywhere in the return process or in any communication from your company.I am extremely disappointed with this lack of transparency and the false expectation that I would receive my refund within a reasonable timeframe. I believe that if this is the new policy, it should be clearly stated during the return process, so customers can make informed decisions.Furthermore, I have reached out to customer service several times since then, but have received no help at all. This is unacceptable and has caused me a great deal of inconvenience.As a loyal customer of **********************, I expect better service and more transparency when it comes to the refund process. I hope that you will take this complaint seriously and take action to improve the refund process for your customers.Order #: 111-6899936-0337017

      On 2/26/23 I placed ORDER # ***-0640875-5370606. Per email the order was to be delivered on 2/28/23. However. upon checking emails late night on 2/27/23 I got a email from amazon stating the package was delivered. That was impossible for several reasons. I was at work during the time the package was delivered. Also amazon sent me a password to provide when the package was delivered. I was never able to provide the password as I was at work when the package was delivered. I contacted amazon on 2/27/23 and was told I must wait until the end of business day on 2/28/23 before they could do anything. When I contacted them on 2/28/23 I was told it was nothing that could be done as the driver delivered the package.

      I purchased an Apple Watch Ultra and some bands on 11/28/22 in the amount of $835.88. I decided to return the unopened watch and bands on 12/10/22. The returned was shipped back to Amazon and received by them on 12/15/22. $24.66 was refunded, but the remaining $811.22 was not refunded and is still outstanding. After many calls and online chats with Amazon, I sent a demand letter to their legal department on 1/10/23. A law firm contacted me on 1/18/23 stating that they would review the case and get back to me. There has been no response. I have initiated a claim with my credit card company.

      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 you have shared with your return of the "Apple Watch Ultra [GPS + Cellular 49mm] Smart watch w/Rugged Titanium Case & Starlight Alpine Loop Small Fitness Tracker..." on the Order ID: ******************* and have researched the issue in detail. 

      We will not be able to issue a refund at this time. We need the correct item to be returned and received at our processing center before a refund is issued. In this case, we were not able to verify the correct item was returned. 

      Once the carrier has received your return package, it takes a while to arrive at our *************** In some situations, it may take up to 60 days to be processed. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.

      If you haven't been issued a refund after 60 days, we recommend that you reach out to the carrier that you used to return the item to Amazon.

      I share the link to the General Returns Policy on the website: ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************.

      I realize you're upset 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 these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      You state, We will not be able to issue a refund at this time. We need the correct item to be returned and received at our processing center before a refund is issued. In this case, we were not able to verify the correct item was returned.

      This is false.  You asked us to ship back the watch using your choice of carrier.   We did that.  The shipment was returned to you by *** 1Z9WX3429018947577.  This shipment was received by your facility on 12/15/22 at 10:00 a.m. in *************, **.   Another business record I have that corroborates that you received it is an email from Ruisa on 12/17/22 at 11:27 a.m. stating, We have received your returns from your order #***-3821872-4653843 on December 15, 2022.

      You state, Once the carrier has received your return package, it takes a while to arrive at our *************** In some situations, it may take up to 60 days to be processed. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.

      The returned item was received by you on 12/15/22.   We worked with your customer service group to resolve this issue.  We are approaching 90 days now.   Remember, you directed the carrier and method of return because you sent the label.

      You send a nondescript link to your Refunds page, not pointing to any particular passage.   Ill help you out as neither you nor previous Amazon customer service associates seem to realize what is there.   Here is the actual quote under the How Long Do Refunds Take After I Return an Item? question:  It can take up to 30 days for us to receive and process your return. When we complete processing your return, we issue a refund to the selected payment method. Learn how to Track Your Return.  Yet, both you and the previous customer associates continue to quote 60 days.   It doesnt matter now since were well past both milestones, it just exhibits your lack of knowledge of your own policies.

      Finally, you suggest I reach out to the carrier that I used.

      I used your carrier.   I used the carrier with which you had a contract and from which you generated a shipping label and sent to me.   Your carrier is responsible for this shipment from the time possession transferred to the carrier.   You need to reach out to your carrier if there was an issue with your shipment, but my action has been completed and now you need to submit the overdue refund for $811.22.

      Sincerely,

      Amazon charges a membership fee - for that fee they allege they will have most items (that are delivered by Amazon) to you within 2 days. You go on their site, you order an item with an expected delivery date, which they tell you when that date is, for the item to be delivered. Two days for most PRIME items. In the last week five orders have been delayed. Tracking clearly shows the items are on the truck out for delivery and yet the items have never shown up. Amazon then wants you to wait an additional two - four days for the items to magically appear before they will issue you a refund. In most cases I can understand delays, but when the items shows it is out for delivery and never arrives, we have an issue. When you call the help line, they run you around in a circle. Making excuse after excuse. As I have had with these 5 orders that have yet to arrive and are pass the delivery date posted when the items were ordered. Amazon is falsely promising a service they fail to deliver on. They provide no recourse but to WAIT for the items to show up or wait additional days to get a refund. Their customer service answer is "We will talk to logistics" What does that do for the customer paying for a ********************** membership? What is the payment of a prime membership if they fail to provide that service?

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me providing they follow through with correcting the delayed and missing shipments. I understand it will never be 100% but it sure can be better than the rate of late and missing packages are currently.

      I have been having problems with my kindle being unable to download content. After multiple text interactions over a few days it became apparent that I needed to re-set the password on an old account. I was connected with an amazon representative who gave me only the option of deleting my account with its history and kindle library and opening a new account. When I asked for more options she argued in a very insulting fashion and then hung up the phone to end the conversation. This is disgusting behavior. If she did not have the solution to my issue she had many options open to her other than hanging up on me. She told me that the old account had been locked and that it was impossible for anyone to ever recover it. That was not the case. I have subsequently been able to access my account. I solved by myself the issue that I had called about. But the insulting and disrespectful behavior that Amazon via its representative displayed to me is abhorrent.

      Hello,My name is *****, and I am contacting you because Amazon has unjustly suspended my account and accusing me of violating their terms of agreement despite the fact that I have not violated any of their terms of agreement that they have listed on their terms and conditions, After contacting them to provide details about the terms of agreements that were "violated" they were unable to give me definitive reasoning and evidence of why they terminated my account. I would like to report the business for their lack of transparency and injustice as a consumer. I would also like my account to be reinstated because I have not violated anything that they are accusing me of violating. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      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.

      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 23rd March 2023.

      Sincerely,

      I had 3 orders delivered by Amazon on February 24th, for a wireless bra, baby proofing outlet covers, and magnetic cabinet locks. I got the notification on my phone and I got home 3 hours later and no packages were outside my door. I looked on the app and it said my packages had been delivered to reception. I specifically have it stated in my delivery instructions not to deliver to reception because packages get stolen, and this has happened before shortly before Christmas with Amazon. Sure enough, my packages were not at reception and were stolen. I contacted Amazon as soon as I found this out, and was told an investigation will need to be done and I would be able to contact them again the following Monday to request and receive my refund. So that Monday night I reached back out to Amazon to get my refund for the packages that I never received, and was told they are not able to refund me because my situation falls under risk of loss stated in their terms. Risk of loss states All purchases of physical items from Amazon 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. I then asked who the carrier is, and they said the carrier is Amazon. Which means they should still be responsible. I was then told it was because per the driver whom delivered my package, it was delivered to my address therefore there was nothing they could do. But it was not delivered to my address. My address is *************** apartment 56. It was not delivered to me or my apartment. It was delivered to ***************, NO APARTMENT NUMBER. It was left in a generalized office setting aka reception. Where it was stolen within 3 hours of delivery. This package was not delivered to my address. I have it specifically stated in my delivery instructions not to deliver packages to reception because like I said this has happened before. So now I do not have my items, and I am out almost $70. Please help.

      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 you have shared with us on the missing deliveries and have looked into the matter in detail. The information shared was correct as we are not able to offer a refund or a replacement at this time. 

      Based on the information provided by the carrier, we're able to confirm that your item was delivered with the same package weight and dimensions mentioned on our website.

      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 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.

      We have limited options in this matter. 

      Regards,
      Raman R.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I do not have my package. I paid for items and do not have them. Your Carrier in your risk of loss policy is also Amazon logistics. So Amazon is still liable. You all have stolen from me. This is theft. 
      Sincerely,
