I had originally ordered a ********* surface pro 8 table (1TB, 32GB) under order 114-9904372-3426606. However, upon receiving that order, the tablet I received was not of the correct specifications (256GB, 8GB). I contacted Amazon support to see what could be done. That proceeded with a return because it was a mistake on their end because the order was "Fulfilled by Amazon." I also brought up the concern that I could no longer purchase the same model at the original price. The Amazon Support representative assured me that I can go ahead and re-buy the item and that they would refund me the difference. I re-purchased the tablet under order 114-2080040-8301840. I contacted Amazon support as instructed to proceed with the refund of the difference. They told me the request had to be directed to a "dedicated team" (which they could not put me in direct contact with) and that I would receive a resolution in 24 hours. The 24 hours passed (in excess) and I contacted Amazon support again. I received the same response with no resolution.Business Response

Hello,I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. My entire Amazon business has been shut down because of a dispute over the authenticity of the products I was offering.As a small business, I contracted with a new supplier who was just starting out. I failed to take the necessary investigation steps and later found what they were selling are compatible with but not the brand in question.Once this was brought to my attention, I immediately attempted to work with Amazon. I explained the situation, pulled the incorrectly listed product, and provided alternate sourcing. Unfortunately, the only thing they are demanding is invoices to prove their authenticity. It seems I am not allowed to make a mistake no matter what I do to try and correct it.All I ask is for a fair review of my appeals with the knowledge I did make the mistake and that I have taken steps to correct it. Please help!Business Response

Between October 3rd and October 11th my Amazon account was hacked around the end of October the hackers locked me completely out of my Amazon account when I was trying to reclaim it by using a 2 step authenticator app since then Amazon has been unable to give me access back to my Amazon account. Contacting me only through email, the same email that the hackers also had used to gain access to my account and had access to. Since then Amazon has been unwilling to contact me other than via email ticket me an unusable Link order to regain access to my account. The link is unusual because it requires you to log on to your account which I can't do because the hackers have locked me out with their authenticator app so the hackers now have access to my account and are it now enjoying my Amazon prime which is being paid for by me and still attempting to use my credit cards I have canceled the cards currently attached to this account but would still like to regain at my account. I was just told by customer service that my account has been notated and is under investigation but that I cannot gain access to my account and must open a new Amazon account. This solution is not completely acceptable to me since all of my addresses for my relatives were saved in that account old credit card information was saved in that account and I would like the hackers removed from that account. I would also like to be reimbursed for the months of Amazon prime that I was unable to use. At this point I'm not sure how they can contact me safely because I no longer trust anyone who says that they're from Amazon.Business Response

On November 12, 2022 l applied and received approval for an Amazon **** credit. It said if l apply and it was approved, which l was, l would receive a $60.00 ecard. When l call Amazon on about November 16, 2022 and asked if the credit of $60.00 could be used at a business other than Amazon they said no, the $60.00 credit is only good when you order from Amazon,com. l said, no problem l can do that. My **** credit card was mailed on November 15, 2022, received and activated on November 23, 2022 and registered on Amazon on November 26, 2022. I have been on the phone with both Amazon and Chase and each one says it is the others problem. On Saturday November 26, **** l was on the phone with Amazon for over 3 hours trying to get this settled and the person on the other end, Amazon, said she fixed it and the credit should be there in 24 hours. Check today November 28, 2022 and still NO credit. Talked to Amazon today November 28, 2022, for about 2 hours and now they wanted to know when l applied, when l was approved, and if l registered it on the Amazon site, which has been done, l gave them all of the information they needed and wanted and still they will not give it to me. Enough is enough l feel like this is a bait and switch or false advertisement All l want is the $60.00 credit so l can order a gift, This is really kinda pushing it, but l think they should give me some extra credit for all the time l spend on the phone with them, Amazon, trying to get this straigthened out which was the total of 5+ hours. Thank you for your time and understanding .they both are greatly appreciatedBusiness 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 understand your concern regarding the wrong item picked up by UPS.
I've raised a request to our team at the return center to locate the package and return the same to your address upon finding it.
Generally the items are discarded if they are not the one that were supposed to be returned however as I raised the request to return it back, the team will do their best to find and return it. If we're able to locate your item, it can take up to 4 weeks from the time you sent the return for it to be returned to you.
I appreciate your understanding and patience.
