On November 25th I purchased a set of 4 tires and installation services from Amazon which were to be shipped to the installer. Total cost being $1045.52. Four tires were delivered to the installer on November 30th, and I showed up for installation as scheduled on December 2nd. At that appointment, the installer identified to me that one of the 4 tires delivered was not the size ordered. I proceeded to submit pictures of this to Amazon and requested a replacement tire (correct size) to be shipped. After multiple lengthy phone calls and emails, Amazon has not fulfilled my order or provide me with rationale why my tire cannot be shipped. As of 12/13/2022 the correct tire size shows to be in stock. On 12/13, I received an email stating that a refund for the incorrect tire shipped, was being processed. I have never requested a refund, as this would leave me with a half baked solution. I ordered 4 tires, and up to now Amazon has not provided rationale why the 4th correct tire could not be shipped.Business Response

Up on checking, I see that a replacement was issued #***-4508938-5534608 for expected delivery on December 9, 2022. However, there is no update on the tracking.
As a replacement was already issued and which appears to be misplaced/lost by the carrier a refund was of $261.38 was issued on December 13, 2022.
We request you to use the refund amount to place a new order for the same product and return the wrong size to us using the label which was shared.

I purchased a $500 Amazon gift card from a Royal Farms **** Station on 9/30/21, I've been trying to activate and use this card since last Christmas and I've had no success. I was attempting to buy my significant other a few gifts without her knowing. So I purchased this $500 gift card with cash so I wouldn't spoil the secret. I made a new amazon account instead of using my own. I added this gift card and a few other gift cards that I had at the time to the account (all were obtained legally). I made a new email address to create the new amazon account ********************** I found a few items that my GF would like and attempted to order them. I place the order and everything looked good. Immediately after I received an email from amazon stating my account was locked due to the possibility of fraud.I've followed their prompts and have contacted them multiple times over the last year and have been unable to get this issue resolved. I have $500 that I paid for on a gift card that I cant access. They closed the account down becaus ethey thought it was fraud. And they will not give me any access to my funds or reopen the account. They stole $500 from me!!!Business Response

Amazon has been overcharging and I'm sure I'm not the only one they are doing this to. I return items, they give a refund then months later re-charge stating the return was never received. Once I call they state it was received in the warehouse and had to be manually entered, this has happened 4 times. I truly believe Amazon should be audit. I want people to be aware of what they are doing. The other issue is, I ordered wireless headset for my desktop however, it was not compatible and I returned it. Amazon refused to give me a refund stating the serial numbers didn't match. I'm not sure how this happen, I sent back the item they sent me. I had to file a dispute with my bank. It's wrong what they are doing and should not be able to get away with robbing paying customer. Thank you,*****************************Business Response

I understand your concern regarding the retro charge and refund for the orders. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I am rejecting this response because: They need to investigate to see how the item was scanned one serial number and returned with another when it's the same item. They need to pull video camera from their warehouse instead of accusing customers of not returning the same item. I want my money and credit back from Amazon for the full amount I paid. This is an error on Amazon's side not mine. I have explained this time and time again. This is not a resolution.

Transaction date: 10/20/22. Amount: $519.99 + Tax. ORDER # ***-6368856-8039455. Product - Apple Watch Series 8. Item was purchased and less than 30 days later the price went down so I contacted the customer support to ask for a price match, which was not given and I was advised to return the first item for a full refund and repurchase. The returned item shows as received in their office on Dec 2nd, according to the *** tracking and no refunds have been issued so far. In fact, their website still don't show the item as received, as per the attached screenshot. I contacted the customer support again and spoke to a few other support representatives who have provided mismatching information as to when the refund would be issued (one said **** days, another one 7 business days, and the latest one 30 days - which is nowhere to be found in your refund policy). I need a solution for this issue.Business Response

Amazon refuses to ship order # ***-1691021-8923414. I have called and called and asked why they can't ship they refuse to tell me. Manager **** was very rude to me on the phone. Calling me a broken record and told me to stop calling. They keep saying they have all my items but one and still refuse to ship the items they do have. I have a guaranteed delivery date of Dec 15 by 10pm. There is no way my 400$ order will be here by then and I will Have no time to shop for new Christmas presents by the time they cancel the order and refund the money. I have stated multiple times I do not want this order refunded that I would like my items and they refuse to tell me why I can't have my items still. They're trying to tell me they don't have phone numbers whatsoever to speak to fulfillment. That is incorrect because I spoke to someone from fulfillment yesterday who guaranteed me that my shipment would be coming and that it would update by the morning. If it did not update I was to call back and see what was the issue. I have called back multiple times today and I have got nothing but rude answers and been told to stop calling.I would like Amazon to stick to their guarantee and send me the items they do have. My kids are supposed to open nothing because of them? That is unfair. They keep passing me around from department to department and those departments have no idea why they had me dropped on their line. "Manager ****" needs to be reprimanded for her disgusting attitude with me. She has no right to make fun of customers for calling with an issue. That's why they're there. I want Amazon to list what items in my order they have and I want those items shipped and arriving at my home by Thursday Dec 15 @10pm like they have been guaranteeing. I do NOT want this order canceled. Please don't let them do that. They keep saying they will instead of solving the issues. Manager **** is who I spoke to in Fulfillment. Items haven't moved in almost 10 days now. No reason whyBusiness Response

On December 8, 2022 I purchased 2 orders in a bundled transaction totaling $187.40 for ORDER #***-0388970-9733016. I chatted with Amazon as I had issues with both orders in the bundled transaction. Also noting that I reached out to them immediately following tracking updates.The first item/order was a Soft Landing , Darling Duos, 2-Piece *************** Character Rocker Bundle, Flamingo Pink and Im missing the plush toy in the 2-Piece order. Im just looking for a partial $20 refund.The second item/order was a Pelpo 36"/38" Mini Trampoline for Kids with Handle, Toddler Trampoline with Silent Resistance Band, Small Indoor Trampoline for Toddlers, Pink totaling $79.99 that was allegedly delivered under Tracking ID: **********************. The moment tracking updated to Delivered on Sunday, December 11 @ 2:04 PM, I immediately went straight to my mailroom to collect. The first item/order, 2-Piece *************** Character Rocker, was there but the second item/order was not. Im still missing the Pelpo 36"/38" Mini Trampoline for Kids and I truly believe it was delivered to the wrong address. The Amazon note said: left inside the residences mailbox but the item is too big to fit inside my mailbox. Amazon refuses to investigate/resolve and leaves me without a Christmas gift. Im looking for a full $79.99 for the missing item.Business Response

Hello,
I am *************;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 about the missing item and the order.
I've checked on it and I can see the team have investigated the entire missing order and based on the results, we aren't able to provide a REPLACEMENT/REFUND.
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 https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=**************** for more information.
We advise you to contact USPS_ATS_PARCEL in order to pursue this matter further. We also 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.
Regarding "Soft Landing , Darling Duos, 2-Piece Plush & Joyride Character Rocker Bundle, Flamingo Pink.", I request you to please return the item back to our return center for a refund as the partial refund option isn't available.
You can return the order following the steps in this link.

End of October my Amazon ******* continued to restart by itself - so I called amazon and got approved for an warranty exchange. I was told that I needed to return the ** within a week or I'd get charged. When the ** arrived I took it to a *** store. *** store would not accept the label that was given to by Amazon. I called Amazon, they said I need to call *** and schedule a pick up. I advised that I am at a *** store now and I will just need a label emailed to me so I can leave. Amazon said that this is impossible and I need to take the broken ** back home and schedule a pick up with ***. I went home and called *** and they said I need to schedule a pick up with Amazon, not ***. I again called Amazon and they said *** is wrong. I was able to finally get a return label from the amazon site and returned the ** the next day. Then I get a email saying that if I dont return the **, I will get charged. The entire process was a mess and Amazon did nothing to compensate me for my trips back and forth along with their threats that I will be charged for my broken **. I ordered a few items for my christmas shopping. I was double charged for the phone cleaning devices that I purchased. The Amazon rep said that it's only an authorization and it will drop off once they are shipped. I told her that Amazon actually took two authorizations per order and now it's holding double the authroization. She said that I am wrong. Also i ordered $100 dress shoes using "try before you buy". item was returned but was charged anyway. A toy plane i returned in October was charged.I kindly asked for $100 compensation or a few months free of Prime services for the inconveniences but she just wanted to play games. She kept asking WHo is it that you want to talk to so that you can get your $100? Tell me specifically or I can transfer you. Am I supposed to understand Amazon's hierarchy to ask for a specific person/manager? When asked to speak to a manager - she asked which specific department?Business Response
