Purchased an amplifier from *************************** item didn't show up in time and was delivered to the wrong house. Shipped the item back and was told on October 8th a refund was processed. From there dealt with 27 different reps who have told me different information. Was told to wait until Oct 28 about a refund. I called today and they said they received the return but was the incorrect item, I asked what they received and they said the item was already disposed. After calling back to confirm what tracking number they had, they gave me a tracking number that 1. Didn't come from me or the state I live in. 2. Different weight. 3. Completely different number. I tried giving the qr code that Amazon gave me to give to *** along with a drop off receipt from *** to show the numbers don't match. I've asked for the issue to be escalated over the past month to get this fixed and still hasn't. I provided 3 screenshots. My package was sent Oct 5th with the drop off receipt. The *** screenshot is the info they gave me that they are stating is what I sent.Business Response

Hello *****,
I'm Pratap 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've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the refund for the returned item amplifier.
I apologize for the inconvenience that you've experienced in this case.
Upon checking I see that *****, a member of Amazon's Executive Customer Relations Team has already responded to you regarding this issue. The information you received is correct.
It appears we received an incorrect item instead of the correct item, Kicker 46CXA3604T 360 Watt RMS 4 Channel ****** Hz Vehicle Car Audio Class A/B Amplifier with Variable High and Low Pass Filters, in your return of order #***-7842254-5311445.
Also we've disposed of this item and can't return it to you. Per Amazon's return policy, Amazon doesn't store mistakenly sent items, and no compensation is provided for incorrect items sent to Amazon.
The return window for Kicker 46CXA3604T 360 Watt RMS 4 Channel ****** Hz Vehicle Car Audio Class A/B Amplifier with Variable High and Low Pass Filters expired on November 1, 2022. At this time, we're no longer able to accept the return of the correct item.
Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance in this matter.

A purchase was made on October 15th 2022 for a "Carwash ******" and a set of "Landscaping Pins".Amazon flagged this transaction for some reason and "suppressed" it. Which means that i was charged for the transaction but when i go to click the link in the orders section of the website the link goes no where and therefore is not returnable.The Gift Cards used were store purchased by myself and 100% legal so there is no reason whatsoever to "suppress" it and selling an item without the option for a return is not legal.I would like to return the "Carwash ******" from this order and have been denied the ability to do so for weeks with no resolve.This is the link and the amount from my orders section:October 15, 2022 Payment towards Amazon.com order (?111-2680452-3645840) -$29.10 If they cannot fix this issue then i would like a refund of the $29.10 that was charged to my Gift Card.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 you have shared with us on the order and your account and have reviewed it in detail. We will not be able to provide a refund on the issue.
On checking the account, I do not see any hold on the order. You do have the option to request a return label as it is within the return window, and standard conditions of return would apply. Once the items are received and confirmed, the applicable refunds would be issued.
Please go to the order details page, and select the correct option to request a return label. In case you still run into any issues, you could reach **************** 24/7 for assistance.
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.

Hello *******,
I'm Pratap 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've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the expedited shipping for Recliner Armchair.
I apologize for the inconvenience that you've experienced in this case.
Upon checking I see that you've placed an order for the item which is sold by a third party seller on our website. When you buy from an third party seller, the seller ships the order by themselves independently. They have their own independent fulfillment centers, they have order's information and handle returns, replacement and refunds. As we are not directly involved in the fulfillment of your order, we are not able to take any actions on the sellers behalf.
I see that the Estimated Delivery Date for your order is between Friday, October 28, 2022 - Wednesday, November 9, 2022 and an email confirmation was sent to you regrading the same at the time of placing the order. Please wait till the the estimated delivery date, the item will be delivered to you.
If the item is not delivered by the Estimated delivery date then we can contact the seller for the refund, and in case the seller is not responding, we can file A-to-z Guarantee for the refund.
Information about A-to-z Guarantee claims, including processing times, can be found here:
http://www.amazon.com/help/a-to-z-guarantee
Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

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 you have shared on the order and have reviewed it in detail. The response shared with you was correct, we will not be able to issue a refund on the order 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 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.
I realize you're upset we've been unable to address your concerns to your satisfaction. However, we'll not be able to offer any additional insight or action on these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response.
We appreciate your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Hello, *********
I'm *********************** 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.
Were sorry to hear that you havent received your item(s) from order #***-4413049-7599434.
Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a replacement or refund for this order at this time. Based on the information provided by the return center, I see that the item received at the return center is different. As per the report submitted by the return center, we see that we have received PUMA Men's Sneaker, Tazon 6 .Black/Silver, 13 M US (USD 65) ASIN: B00QJ1C3DG (this item was not in the original order).
The original order was PUMA Men's Tazon 6 Wide Sneaker, Black, 13 W US ASIN: B07TNX3GF6 .
Consdering this, I am afraid the system will not allow to issue any refunds on the order.
Thank you for your understanding.

My name is *******************************, and I am the owner of an Amazon.com store, Donnklik-Wastarco . My Amazon seller account was deactivated on March 17th, *************************************************************** sight. I have been sending appeals to Amazon in the hopes of reinstating my account, but I have not received any substantive response or a detailed explanation as to why my account remains suspended.
At this time, I am simply requesting that Amazon releases the funds to my seller account. I understand that these funds are generally supposed to be released after **** days, even in the case of deactivated accounts. Amazon has now held these funds for well over 90 days. At this point, I am certain that Amazon has completed its review of my account (as well as the aforementioned appeals) and there are no pending customer claims, chargebacks, refund requests, or other outstanding fees which might necessitate holding these funds any longer.
