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. Our shipping times are based on a variety of factors. For more information visit:

I am afraid, we do not have an option to offer adjustments or waivers for Prime.

Order date Dec 13, 2022 Order #***-8776878-7984226 Order total $1,191.29 (1 item) XFX Speedster MERC310 *** Radeon RX 7900XTX Black Gaming Graphics... $1,099.99 Qty: 1 Sold *********** *** First Amazon rep said my order was being expedited and would ship within a week. That didnt happen. Been trying to get a GPU for 3 months, dodging scalpers and bots which Amazon selling encourages, an extremely anti-consumer practice.Management and support response has been cookie cutter copy and paste nonsense, and leadership refuses to look into the supply of my order. They refuse to even contact their supplier for an ETA. No compensation has been offered nor any ounce of care afforded to this issue. The only solution offered has been to wait and hope that its fulfilled, or to cancel my order and pay 100% above MSRP or more to a scalper which Amazon profits more from in seller fees. I want my order fulfilled and a proper apology.Business Response

Two years ago, I started receiving unwanted return items from an unknown Amazon seller. I would throw them away upon receipt. For the last month, Amazon Warehouse has been sending me unwanted, flammable items from another unknown seller. I have not thrown these away because they contain batteries and require proper disposal. I have asked Amazon to pick-up the flammable items and they will not. Can you please investigate?Business Response

My order was not recurve and the company refuses to resend the order. I spoke online to a representative and was told to wait. It should have arrived on December 16th and was delayed in transit. The order never came. The company representative, ***, said there's nothing they can do now, only refund my money. The price now is 200 over what it was originally was when I purchased it. The company rep said there is nothing more that *** be done and she is the highest level that I can dispute the order.Business Response

I am having a HORRIBLE experience with one of the sales I have made on the Amazon Seller platform.The order number is 112-1281809-8174653. I did everything possibly right on this order: shipped via Amazon Buy Shipping, dropped off two hours after the order was placed, and delivered the package 5 days before the delivery deadline.The buyer reported a problem with delivery and states he never got the package, opening a chargeback claim. I provide all info necessary and the chargeback claim receives the status of "You are not responsible for this chargeback or its reimbursement."Today, almost 4 MONTHS LATER!! , I receive an email from Amazon saying that I am now responsible for the chargeback and need to supply a refund of $1300!! After clearly stating "You are not responsible for this chargeback". This is absolutely RIDICULOUS and UNACCEPTABLE for a platform like Amazon to switch and dump something like this on the innocent seller. Amazon policy ( ********************************************************************** ), clearly states "If you purchase Amazon's Buy Shipping and ship on time, you are protected against claims where a customer reports problems with delivery. ********************** will cover the cost of these claims and they will not affect your Order Defect Rate."I demand that the ******* is refunded to my account instantly, or I will immediately file a claim to Better Business Bureau. This is a direct breach of Amazon policy, which states word for word that I am protected against all problems with delivery if the shipping is purchased through Amazon Buy Shipping and shipped on time.********************** LLCBusiness Response

Hello,
We have denied the seller's request for a refund. Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.

I opened a claim on seller that I never received a response from. I did not receive shipping label from Amazon to return items as requested. I have not received response from Amazon regarding this issue and still have no refund which is $75.I returned 3 items before Christmas and requested refund be credited to my Amazon gift card balance. I have spoken to 2 customer service representatives, both giving me different responses on when refund would reflect on gift card balance. STILL no refund. Total of the 3 returns is $85. I have taken all the avenues to get this resolved, customer service chat, customer service via phone and finally email. I can not seem to get a response from anyone at Amazon. I do not understand the ridiculous run around. All I want is the $160 worth of refunds that are owed to me. I even requested it be credited to gift card balance to be able to recycle the money back to Amazon. I am reaching out to BBB because I have no idea what else to do to get this resolved. PLEASE HELP.Business Response

This should be relatively straightforward.1) We placed an order with Amazon on 11/03/2022 via order number 702-2106684-0308251.2) The order was for a rug. The seller, who receives mostly negative reviews on Amazon (we didn't learn of this until after the fact), attempted to send us an inferior product not even remotely similar to the item we ordered.3) Accordingly, we initiated a refund with Amazon.4) The seller provided a return label and the item has since been returned to the seller.5) The seller and Amazon claim that a refund was issued on 12/17/2022. We have yet to receive the refund and this is the reason for our complaint against Amazon.6) The original charge was debited to our account on 11/07/22 in the amount $521.53. We are requesting a refund of said amount. We have contacted our bank to see, by some strange chance, if there is a reason that we are not seeing the refund. Our bank has informed us that there is no reason that we would not receive the refund.At this point, we are at a loss. Our experience with Amazon customer support is usually great. We have discussed the issue with their chat support regarding their A-Z guarantee and they have repeatedly given us the run around and other times indicated that the onus is on us. (What exactly are we supposed to do lol?)Unfortunately, we do not have records of these chats since Amazon's chat service makes it very problematic to get transcripts of chats. This may be our lack of technical skill but we usually don't have problems getting transcripts of chats with other companies.Thank you for your consideration regarding this matter.Respectfully,*********************Business Response
