So I needed a iPhone 12 lcd to repair my work phone and I needed it as soon as possible as I use it daily. I ordered 2 items on Amazon which was an iPhone 12 *********** and a rain gutter extender. 112-9082952-8421818. I purchased these 2 items that were same-day delivery. I waited ****pm but once 9:30 came along I knew they werent going to make it. I called in and they said they cant contact the driver so they will have the delivery person deliver it in the morning which was another lie. So I called back after not being able to wait anymore and the next rep said for the trouble she will refund me and I can also keep the items once it came 4 days late and I said okay. She transferred me to a rep that just wanted to get rid of me so he lied and said I will get my refund and get to keep the item just to get me off the phone and once I hung up he canceled my order and refunded me which makes it impossible to address the issue anymore because Amazon says we processed your refund. First of all he didnt even ask me if it was okay and if Im fine to have it processed back into my original payment. I wouldve asked for Amazon credit so I can REORDER the lcd since Ive already wasted time and now I have to wait 3-5 business days. Amazon cuts cost by hiring customers service reps that can lie to you and do what they want because once they refund your money your unable to do anything. I contacted 8-9 Amazon reps and wasted countless hours just to be told that nothing can be done. Basically they are telling me that regardless of how they treated me, I have to accept it. I got nothing but rude, unfair, and time wasting reps. **** one was from *** and even she couldnt do anything because of the loophole that rep promised but purposely lied about just to get me off the phone. I want all those lying reps to be dealt with accordingly and now Im **** with no option to purchase the items until my refund comes in, but of course Amazon could care less.Business Response

Hello,

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 am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you with the Order ID: ******************* and also for the service you received. Issues like this where it keep on repeating feel you bad about the service. I would have felt the same.
I appreciate you making us aware of it. At Amazon, we pride ourselves in being the worlds most customer-centric company. Regrettably, few of our customer service agents couldnt meet our high standards in this instance.
I'll take this issue as feedback and escalate it to the team to work on it so that they can take action.
As the refund for the order is already issued I request you to reorder for the items.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.

I am rejecting this response because: That is the most pathetic response to an issue that has caused me time and money. Im sorry that this is just considered a s a feedback to you and you think that allowing an employee to cancel an order which leaves no higher position to do anything about is ridiculous. You had 5-6 customer service representatives lie and because you guys arent honoring it and taking this as feedback which you obviously wont do anything about is insulting to customers. There is no attempt by this respondent to mediate this situation. Clearly there needs to be leadership change in this company starting with this individual. Show me that the problems you have cause me is worth your time in investigating it and maybe ill accept it but clearly there was no attempt to fix this issue. Liar after liar after liar with terrible customer service attitude. You take as much responsibility as the customer service reps that I spoke to which is none. Im surprised you thought that response was even worth sending out.
Sincerely,

I returned item# ***-0002179-8194603 back to Amazon on 11/1/22 with RMA# DBCNDnIGRRMA. It was delivered back to Amazon on 11/3/22 with *** tracking# 1Z9WX3429003822934. I was told Id be refunded within 30 days of Amazon receiving the item. Amazon received the item on 11/3/22. Ive contacted Amazon on multiple occasions and was told I needed to give it 60 days before action can be taken. I was also told to contact the carrier, being ***, which Ive done on multiple occasions. *** shows the package was delivered and accepted by the Amazon return center and that *** cannot assist me any further. This item was paid for using Amazons in-house installment plan. 1 of the charges my bank rejected as they thought it was fraudulent. However, I have paid over $400 so far for this item and there is another monthly charge of $159 set to hit my account in a few days. Ive continued contacting Amazon daily, including their leadership team who promises to get it resolved and then never follows through. Ive been hung up on, on multiple occasions. This sounds like a theft issue at their return processing center. Ive done my part and have everything documented. I want my money back.Business Response

On 12/24/2022 I purchased an Asus Prime Z790-a motherboard on Amazon.com through a 3rd party seller.(Beach Audio) On 12/28/2022 I received multiple items I was expecting from Amazon one of the was to be my Asus Prime z790-a motherboard. However when I opened my package I did not have my Asus Prime z790-a motherboard. It is now 1/9/23 I have been in contact with Amazon and their 3rd party vendor everyday since the 28th of December when they notified me my product was delivered despite me not receiving the item I purchased. They are forcing me to provide free services and labor (printing package labels, attaching shipping labels to merchandise, driving to shipping location delivering merchandise) if I would like a refund of my money and are refusing to ship me the items I ordered. This same Item was still listed for sale on Amazons website several days after I notified both parties of the issue.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I was never informed that there was an issue with the payment method not even on my Amazon account payment page until today that it's stating to revise the method payment. Now I will need about 7 business days to update my method of payment as I lost the credit card and waiting for the replacement.

RISK OF LOSS policy at Amazon. I have been a prime customer for several years. I pay monthly for free shipping and guaranteed delivery. I had a package that showed delivered but my package was never found. I called Amazon to have my items replaced and was told I had to wait 3 days then if it was still not found to call back and my items would be refunded or replaced. When I called back today I was told that amazons policy of RISK OF LOSS prevented them from doing anything at all about my items. I have never heard of this policy I have had items not delivered before and they were replaced or refunded. I was researching this issue and found that the federal government is in saying it is illegal. That the customer is not contracting with the carrier Amazon is and it is their responsibility to the customer for the cost then ********************** makes claim with the carrier to recoup the loss. At this time Amazon has not replaced either the product or my money.Business Response

I attempted to get my replacement for my echo show. It was scheduled to be delivered on 1/7/23. Then I was told it would be delivered today, however on the tracking it stated it was left at the *************** Amazon facility about midnight this morning, then the two updates after that indicated there were delays. I called the amazon customer service and the rep told me that it would be delivered today by 8pm. Then I was transferred to an Echo show rep ************** that indicated the replacement was probably lost. She indicated she was sending information to her lead. After a 30 minute , I complained about length of the call. ***** offered to give me a call back. I received a call back from ***** and she indicated they could not replace it because it was already replaced even though it was lost. Their solution was for me to purchase a new one, wait for it to be delivered and then they would refund me the money. I asked why would I tie up money to purchase a new one when I have already paid for a protection plan? I did not lose my item, Amazon did yet wants me to carry the burden of paying for another one. I flat out refused to do so. I asked if we could conference in her lead and she indicated her lead doesnt take calls. I asked who could we escalate this matter to and she asked me who would I like it escalated too? I was speechless! I asked her how would I know who to talk to as I dont work for amazon. After almost 2 hours I was hung up on no call back and i had to start the process all over. I asked for a supervisor and i got transferred to another rep in the echo show device area I have no product and no resolution. At this point I would like a new echo show not a replacement.Business Response

I purchased a pea coat by Nautica, fom Amazon online, I paid $74.00 plus tax and shipping for a total of $81.74. It did not fit and I returned it promptly on December 21. I was notified on the app., that a refund was on the way. I never received a refund. I contacted Amazon online and by phone several time and I got a number of answers such as: "we applied $66.00 to your gift card." or " I see you don't have a gift card but we are not sending you a refund, we will apply the money to other purchases" I don't have a gift card. I demanded to speak to a manager who proceeded to tell me the same thing and then hung up or the call was accidentally, interrupted. ( I spoke to ******* and her supervisor, ******) I am appalled by the business practices of Amazon! The customer service consists of canned messages that do not help, or customer service agent trained to just say "No" to any request for information or help. The deal was simple, there will be a refund upon the return, Instead i find that, without any notice, Amazon is allocating my money to 'whatever' without providing any record of their transactions. This cannot be legal! In the meantime, I had to cancel my debit card do to attempted fraud and I need to know how they will be able to refund my money. I want my money back and I want Amazon to have transparency in their transactions, honoring their customers and the business they bring to them and allow for their existence. Their behavior is disrespectful and needs to be addressed.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon needs to communicate clearly the rules of return and refund.I was never informed that my refund was applied to a gift card as I was unaware that I had a gift card. This shows a clear lack of communication between Amazon and its customers. Business transactions must be communicated ahead of time and not leave a customer hunting down info on the app. So what's next? If I have to return an item in the future, what do I have to expect? Communication need improving. I am afraid to make future purchases on Amazon. Thank you for your attention on this subject.
