      January 29, 2023 I ordered a pack of toothbrush replacement heads, alongside many other items. They all arrived on time- no problem. I waited a couple of days and still nothing. I contacted Amazon about the missing package, and they reply with, 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.Whatever, I moved on. February 19, 2023 I purchase a pack of pins, and the same situation arises. I wait an extra day, hoping for redemption, yet nothing. And they hit me with the same response.

      Amazon Fresh (the grocery delivery) they canceled my order on Feb 17th ************************************* the amount of *****. I have been told everything to my card was not charged then from it will be credited back in a few hours. Then 24 hours then 3-5 business days now they say 7 -10 days. I have been through 12 customer service agents and 2 supervisors they all say something different. I just want my card credited the ***** I should have never been charged in the first place on a canceled order. This was the most horrible customer service I have received from any grocery delivery service. They have truly gone downhill, and I would beware. They could not even provide me of any evidence of the refund they keep telling me they put through. They are just transferring me and trying to get rid of me without helping. It's terrible.

      ORDER # ***-7605822-9100204 The order did not go through the first time due to my internet going down during the pin entry. I was not charged. I went back and updated as it said I had until 7:30 that evening to correct the payment method. I did as advised and it charged ***** and gave me a confirmation of **** pm. Then I went back to check the tracking and noticed it had been canceled again. After a few hours I still was not refunded which is odd on ebt. I then contacted Amazon and after 12 customer service agents and 2 supervisors over the course of the week, many promises of a refund still nothing. They are now telling me to wait another 10 days. I have contacted the *** office and they stated there has been no initiation of a refund. As soon as there is a refund it should be automatic. Amazon is basically not putting it in, as they have told me they are doing. This has taken up so much time over such a small amount it is ridiculous. Every agent says something different. I have provided documentation of where I was promised on 02/18/2023 I would be refunded in 3-5 business days. This never happened. I need someone to put the refund back on my card of *****.Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have been promised many times they were crediting this account back. It never happens. An Ebt credit should appear within a few hours, not 10 days. I have checked and nothing as of yet. However, if they want to present this in the form of an Amazon promotional credit or gift card, I will be willing to accept once the credit appears or the gift card is received. Thank you.

      The business once again did not honor the resolution. They seem to be having trouble putting the refund back on the card it has been several times they have promised. If they wish to credit the Amazon account or issue an instant gift card they may do that in order to quickly resolve this matter. That would be acceptable.

      I contacted Amazon via chat about order #***-2948564-6645039. I paid an extra $2.99 for same day delivery. However, the order was delayed, which is not a huge deal. I could have gotten next day delivery free anyway as a Prime member. So I chatted in and was told that they could offer Amazon credit for $2.99 now, but I would have to wait until after delivery to get a refund to my original payment method. Then a supervisor told me since I'm an employee of Amazon myself that I should understand they have to follow policy. I asked what policy, and the supervisor said I'm sorry you're a customer so I can't tell you. The supervisor repeatedly insisted that since the payment transaction was pending, they could not issue a refund yet. I asked why then could they offer Amazon credit now, at which point the policy magically changed and now no refund or credit of any kind could be offered. What's the point of having the best distribution operations in the world if customer service is going to s**** it up with nonsense on the back end? It's not even the $2.99 that is frustrating. It's the fact that Amazon would rather say anything to avoid doing the right thing. Not to mention I have to do a whole new chat if I want my $2.99 back later. I want my $2.99 back please and thank you.

      My order 112-3294921-8469050 was delivered by amazon via ***** **** tracking number is **********************, which indicates that the delivery was completed on February 17, but I did not receive the package. Then I contacted amazon, and amazon customer service told me to go to the police station to report the case, I went, and the police replied that because the mailbox belongs to **** property so they can not help me report the case, and the police officer let me go to contact the ************* Postal Inspector. then I contacted amazon customer service again, and customer service said must get the police report, even after I clearly told the police that they could not provide it.

      The seller has failed IPI , does not fit a reinstatement and has been notified about it.

      Complaint: 19458417

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I disagree with Amazon's response as my IPI score is unrelated to my verification process. Recently, I received a notification alleging that I engaged in fraudulent or deceptive activity.

      I promptly provided all requested information about my invoices and supply chain to address these concerns. However, now Amazon is raising questions about my IPI score, despite never notifying me of any issues with it before.
      I urge the Amazon seller performance team to provide me with any notification related to my IPI score. Treating small businesses with such suspicion and without cause is unacceptable.

      I am extremely disappointed with this decision, as I have been using legitimate suppliers and exclusively using FBA for my business.

      I've asked several dozen "drivers" to please stop using my lawn as a walk way. Face to face, over the phone with customer service, even noted in our accounts multiple times. I've even gone as dark to put up signs in all corners of the property, to please stay off the lawn. These people come flying up the street, music loud as heck with the windows and doors open, grab the packages and come running through the lawn. I've lost count the times they've "slid" down the hill, ultimately tearing the grass up and leaving ruts when it's wet. I've been polite up until now. Get your employees under control or hire some that respect others property, or my wife and I are done ordering from Amazon.

      I pay for prime with Amazon. Amazon's states that Prime benefits include two day delivery. This year Amazon is delivering my orders with over a two week delivery date and they do not ship until the last minute. I've called numerous times and have not received satisfaction. One agent said to quit Prime but they don't give refunds and I'm paid up thru July. The last time I called I was told someone (supervisor) from customer service would get back with me. They have not. I have been unable to find a way to appeal this failure to provide the service I am paying for.

      I have responded to their request and would like to forward the emails reqarding this complaint. Amazon did not respond to my issues and I believe the rep either knowingly sent false information or was unable to understand the issues.

      Hello,

      I'm Harasankar 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've reviewed your reply and checked the orders you've mentioned. I understand your concern regarding the delivery estimates.

      Our delivery estimates are based on item availability, the quantity ordered, and selected delivery speed.

      If an item isn't readily available, shipping selections may reduce shipping transit time, but won't impact how long it takes us to obtain the item or prepare it for shipment.

      If the item is not available it takes more time for us to acquire, however once we acquire the item ********** as soon as possible.

      I've passed your message on to the appropriate department in our company for consideration.

      We value this kind of feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our store and provide better service to our customers.

      We look forward to seeing you again soon.


      Regards,

      Complaint: 19458504

      I am rejecting this response because: Basically Amazon ceased providing Prime benefits because I'm in a rural area. If I order to **** I would get 2 day delivery - in ******* its over 2 weeks. In past years purchases would be shipped in a timely manner now its more than a week before they ship. My last order was a week before they shipped the one before that was 2 weeks. Amazon no longer provides customer service. I received an email that a Supervisor would call me - it never happened.

      Sincerely,

      ***************************

      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 seller's access to their seller account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers seller account violated our terms and conditions.

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

      We are unable to take the actions requested as the seller failed to respond as is required. We notified the customer of this decision by email on 1 March 2023.

      Sincerely,

      On 12/27/22, I purchased 2 actual Amazon gift cards ($1,000 each). I received these cards intact (I didnt share the information on them as I didnt have them prior to my attempt at activating them and both arrived as they should with the card information covered by a strip and each card in an Amazon envelope) so I called to activate them following the instructions on the card. When I called, though, I was informed that both cards had already been activated by someone else prior to my receipt of them as well as my initiating the activation. I have tried resolving this with Amazon (Raman) and the states general attorney but have received nothing. As soon as possible, I am closing my Amazon account as they clearly dont value customers except Prime ones.

      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 shared with the gift cards which were unable to be redeemed and reviewed the matter all over. We regret the inconvenience caused but the response we had shared earlier was correct. 

      We will not be able to issue a refund on the gift card orders. The gift card claim codes were duly redeemed and the balance shows used up. 

      We request you to be extremely careful with access to the gift cards as they are the equivalent of cash. Amazon does not have control over a gift card once it is shipped / emailed to a customer.

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

      Regards,
      Raman R.

      Complaint: 19458163

      I am rejecting this response because: I do not agree with the proposed resolution of *NO ACTION* regarding my complaint. This IS NOT acceptable as I spent $2,000 on these cards and have been trying to get this fixed first through Amazons customer service team (2 months just here), then through the states AG, then through the *** and finally here, the BBB. I didnt, and dont, have $2,000 to lose because they dont wish to be held liable for cards purchased from them AND for them. Again, when I had Prime, none of this ever happened but, the instant I have to drop it, this happens and I am blamed when I had NOTHING to do with it (too coincidental). I DID NOT give out any information on the cards before I received them (I couldnt), and when I did receive them, I tried to activate BOTH of them right then and was told BY AMAZON WHO COULDNT ACTIVATE EITHER CARD that they had already been claimed by someone else and were useless to me. THIS was in December (beginning to middle) and when I FIRST STARTED contacting Amazon to be refunded that money. 

      Sincerely,
