I purchased a $200 gift card. They shipped a 12 count box of ***** cat delectables at a total weight of 480 grams( minus box weight) in a plastic sleeve envelope. Box was busted and the packages were loose. Amazon said the gift card was also in the envelope. It was not. I asked for a replacement card. They refused. Based on the dimension and weight of shipped envelope they confirm the gift card was in the envelope. Gift cards weighs 1.5 ounces with the envelope. I asked them to confirm they weigh that exact and precise. They would not. They said to file a police report and will not talk to me any further. I asked again why I couldn't get a replacement card when they could bill and void the one they allegedly sent. Again told to file a police report. So I asked again for the standard of weight differentials they allow for the police to know and they will not speak with me at all. Amazon stole $200 and refuses to replace, refund or acknowledge any of it.Business Response

Amazon is not properly disclosing the location that items will be coming from and they are selling product that they do not have in their warehouse. I ordered 4 items on December 14, 2022 and one of the four has shipped. The other three are showing that they are supposed to arrive tomorrow but according to the amazon individual that I spoke with on the phone, 2 of the 3 remaining items are coming from ***** and they do not have them in amazon possession yet. So since according to amazon they do not have the items in their possession they do not know when they will arrive however the same agent said that they will arrive December 20, 2022 at my location. Does not make sense how they can say 1 thing in one sentence then contradict themselves in another sentence. Why are they allowed to sell product that is not in their possession? If it is a "pre-order" then they should have to note that on the listing.Business Response

Hello *****,
I'm Praveen 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'm sorry for the confusion between items shipped by Amazon and third party sellers. I will be happy to provide you the information which might help you in future.
The items offered on our website may be sold by Amazon.com, shipped by Amazon.com, or sold by sellers. For items sold by a merchant and shipped by Amazon.com, we will fulfill the order and offer customer service.
You can recognize whether or not the seller is Amazon.com in many ways:
--The item's detail page will say "Ships from and sold by (merchant name)."
--The seller's name will be displayed during checkout.
--If several different sellers are offering the same item, the "More Buying Choices" box of the item's
detail page will list each seller.
The condition of a seller's item can be viewed by clicking the "used," "new," "refurbished" and/or "collectible" on the item's detail page. For a description of what these conditions mean, visit:
www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=*******
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.
We look forward to see you soon.

I purchased over $600 in items on November 25th, 2022. I received 1/4th of my items on December 2nd 2022, but the Bulk of my order was not received. Then on the 6th of December my order was sent back to Amazon, because they said it was sitting at *** warehouse for 6 days without my knowledge. No one told me that and when I would check the tracking, it said still on its way to delivery address. So, I called Amazon and talked to a representative who said that once they receive the packages back, they will refund me in 3-5 business days. Well, they received the packages back on the 8th of December and I called back asking for the refund and that rep said it will take **** days now. Today is the 19th and I still don't have my money. Every time I call Amazon they say not till the 23rd of December. that is over 2 weeks I've been waiting on my money back and I still do not have it. When I logged into the Amazon account, it's still saying that I received it and if I wanted to repurchase it. I want my money back now. That was my Christmas gifts for my children and now I have nothing.Business Response

I have been a loyal customer of *********************** for year's and I would frequently order on a consistent basis, but I start to notice unauthorized charges on two of my bank accounts from Amazon digital going all the way back for one year I spoke to a representative about it, and she assured me that she would take care of it. Unauthorized charges on two of my bank accounts from Amazon digital going all the way back for one year. I spoke to a representative about it and she assured me that she would take care of it. At this point. I do not trust Amazon because this is against there policy. She did reverse some of the charges, but then there still charges that are questionable and as of now, Amazon have started the same thing once again, going into my bank account and taking money that I did not authorize and these are the same charges which has caused my account to be overdrawn.Business Response

I purchased a table on July ************************************************************************************************** August, I contacted Amazon about this issue and on Aug 16, I was promised a refund after I sent the *** receipt. No one contacted me or reached out to me and then I contacted Amazon on Dec 9 and today it is Dec 19. They will not fulfill their A to Z guarantee because they do not understand that 48 hours is not 5 months. I was promised a refund in the messages and it been almost 3 weeks now and still no refund from Amazon. The product was materially different from expected. The A to Z guarantee protects you when you buy items sold and fulfilled by a third-party seller. It covers both the timely delivery and condition of your items. If you're not happy with either and can't resolve the issue directly with the seller, you can make a claim directly to Amazon team will issue a refund to the customer as in the screenshots below show that a refund was promised. It's been 5 months and to be eligible for Amazon's A-to-z Guarantee, you must first contact the seller directly and allow them 48 hours from your first message to provide you with an acceptable resolution. If you do not reach a resolution with the seller within 48 hours, you are eligible for a refund. They do not understand that it has been 5 months and the issue has not been fixed.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 see the concern on your return shipping fees on the Order ID: ******************* and have reviewed the matter in detail. I am afraid, we are not able to require the seller to issue a refund for the shipping fees at this time.
I have reviewed in detail the emails shared by you with the seller from the time the return label was requested. The seller had requested a return receipt for confirming the return and fees on emails dated 8/9/22, 8:23:10 PM and 8/9/22, 8:23:10 PM Pacific Daylight Time. I did see you had shared the return tracking number on your response dated 8/9/22, 9:14:16 PM Pacific Daylight Time.
However, the receipt itself or details of the return shipping fees expected were not received by the seller. I also see there was no claim filed with the A-to-z team on this issue.
Considering the time past the return window, we are not able to file a A-to-z claim at this time or require a refund of the shipping fees.
However, you could reach the seller on this matter by using the Contact Seller option on your order details page.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance in this matter.

On Cyber Monday, November 28 I ordered right around midnight ET a BowFlex treadmill from Amazon. The price was significantly discounted by about *******. When I looked at the treadmill there was an option to have it delivered to room of choice and put together. Then as I was ordering it went away. I immediately started a chat and did not get a response to that chat. Then on or about December 2 I called and spoke with a woman ******* who was able to set me up for assembly and stated that once the shipper was decided I would get an email and I could state that I'd like room of choice delivery and if the delivery company was Amazon that'd be easy to support. On December 9th I had not received any notification of delivery even though the treadmill was to be delivered on Dec 15. I called again, after going to two or three agents I ended up with ********* who said he noted in comments the expectation of being delivered to my second floor. Then the timing of my delivery was changed, not by me, by Amazon. I cancelled my doctor's *********** to support the delivery. On December 15 they came and as I greeted them asked if I would want the treadmill right on my sidewalk. I explained the arrangement and my discussion with ********* as well as the email I had from him. That didn't matter. I was told I had to call Amazon and I received a 30 minute run around. I was told to wait a few days and they'd likely reschedule with more delivery people since the treadmill was two heavy for two delivery people. The next day I saw on my app that the order was cancelled. Then I called again and was told that the Mandi could not help or contact the delivery group even though it was amazon. On Sunday I received notification I was being refunded. That same treadmill is now $700 more expensive on Amazon and cannot be ordered. I feel that perhaps they discounted too steeply and chose to not deliver the treadmill. They did not keep their word.Business Response
