As soon as my free trial ended, my problems started occurring on Aug 28. Ive talked to about 20 reps with absolutely no resolution. I get copy/]paste responses and no adequate responses to what my issue is. I have been blamed for not having and Advanced Settings option in the app that will fix the problem though. My activated activity zones are not responsive to what I set in place. Whether it's activated or not the result is the same. Theres a flaw there. I was asked by one of the reps to move my camera, which in turn resulted in over 500 ALERTS, with the set activity zones. 500 ALERTS. Feel free to leave your phone number for contact purposes as that will be much easier and quicker to fix this issue, if its not scary. Please be responsible. Thanks.

Date: September 8th Conflict: Suspended buyer account for alleged abuse of refunds This decision by amazon is unjust and their reaponse was unequal in magnitude to the conflict.I never saw the initial notice, as it went into my spam folder, and furthermore the recent return that was flagged was done so mistakenly. I never claimed the item was lost, that was a miscommunication between me and my Amazon **************** representative. I only wanted to send it back as it did not fit in my apartment and I paid for the shipping cost.I dont think that should have merited a suspension.My support representitive did not speak english well and I was unable to get the correct information across so they provided false and inaccurate information regarding my final return which contributed to my ban. Furthermore, I have been a prime member for 7+ years without complaints, so a full ban is not just, especially when Amazon has complete control of online ordering! There are no reasonable alternatives and for someone who needs to order consistiently for my job, this has a detrimental effect on my life. Please consider an appeal - I believe this was done so unjustly and I will take whatever steps required to be reinstated. If I am considered to be abusing Amazon's policies ans I'm given valid evidence, I will then and only then accept a suspension from Amazon. My final complaint is that there is no office or department for speaking to a representitive about these issues, making it impossible to get the information that is owed to me.

Hello,Amazon stated that a book was intended to be released on a certain date. When the day came, it was not linked to the author's page. I wrote a review stating that it was unacceptable and that the author failed to meet the deadline. Amazon immediately revoked my review capability. There was no review into why the book wasn't on the author's page. They seem to take away reviewing without any notice or any formal appeals process. They tell you to email a guidelines option, but no one responds. You can't call. You're guilty without any means of resolving. It does not seem right to indicate that someone can reach out to resolve a process when the reality is that your complaint falls into a black hole. Sadly, I've been a faithful customer for over *********************************************** this way hurts. I left hundreds of reviews over the years that people found helpful. One where I was unable to find a book should not burn me for an eternity.I hour Amazon will create a real appeals process where they answer customers. I hope that even if someone gets something wrong, they stop banning people indefinitely. Where would they be if their customers didn't give them another chance when a delivery was late, they lost a package, etc? Holding HUMANS to an impossible standard of perfection is wrong. After over a decade of being a loyal customer, finding out they have a policy of guilty without being proven so standard, and without a means of defending oneself is sad.They still accept my money though. I really hope they'll fully restore my account. At the same time, I keep going for a true competitor to pop up, because this isn't the way to treat people.

Amazon customer arrive promise a full refund with our needing to return a defective item. I have this in writing. Lasted they said this was not their official policy. They would not resolve the issue or issue a refund credit. The conversation that promised the one time exception is recorded in their system. I spent three hours trying to resolve this and they just said I was out of luck. I have an Amazon prime business account and am treated far better than my regular price account.

Hello,

I'm sorry that you have received a wrong item.

I understand you would like a return or a partial refund however based on the age of the order, we won't be able to provide a replacement/refund/partial refund for this order at this time. We are able to take all these actions if we are notified within 30 days from the date of the delivery of the order at the provided address.

The Return Window: Expired on September 4, 2022. Hence we are unable to take the action. I know this may be disappointing however we are bind to the policies and will not be able offer any additional insight on this matter. We try our best to make sure the orders are delivered without any problems but issues does happen and considering that we have upto 30 days return timeline to report it to get a refund or a replacement.

I appreciate your understanding and patience on this matter.

Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.

On 10/1/22 I received this item with broken bulbs, creating a hazard for Return and I was advised and promised a refund in full by several Amazon agents. I was then advised repeatedly I would have to wait 24 hours for a Special team to issue this refund, and have been stuck in this loop since. I am attaching proof of my promised refund and request this full refund be issued as promised for this damaged item and safety hazard immediately!

Complaint: 18155286

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon has previously promised me a refund in full in writing upon providing photos of this damage, which I have done on several occasions. Amazon is now asking me to risk my safety, and attempt to rerun an item with broken glass (which I have already cut myself on) after their staff advised me they would refund this IN WRITING, which I have attached here. Amazon is packing my safety at risk, and I have filed a complaint with the Attorney General as well, as Amazon has placed my physical safety at risk in demanding I return an item with broken glass (as evidenced in my photos emailed to Amazon on October 3, 2022). I demand that Amazon honor this refund as advised to me in writing, prior to immediate Civil Action and Request for urgent Arbitration. This matter has caused me physical harm, and merits immediate resolution and refund in full prior to aforementioned actions!

Sincerely,
