I placed an order for books from Amazon.com on 9/22/2022.I opted for 2-day shipping and when given the option to have order sent in as few shipments as possible, I agreed.On 9/27/2022, I reviewed the status of the order.I decided to keep the 2-day shipping speed for my order, but considered to no longer require that the order be sent in as few shipments as possible. There is a button available to make this choice, but there is no indicator of what the exact cost might be should I decide to take this option. Since the initial shipping charge for the entire order was approximately somewhere around $50, I figured that the possible additional cost for shipping if additional boxes/shipments were needed, would be somewhere near that $50 price as well. Once I selected that button to accept the order in multiple shipments as items become available, I was taken to another screen and saw that the price increased by nearly $600 in additional shipping charges!!!$600!!!!I immediately decided that the price increase was BEYOND excessive and that I did not want to go with that option after all, as it was insanely unaffordable. I quickly found out that there was no going back and there was no way to "un-do" that selection. Within minutes, I contacted customer service with ********************** via the chat option on their website and requested immediate assistance in updating the shipping details/preferences for my order, especially since it had not yet shipped and there was still time. Also considering that the button was just selected minutes prior. After an extended period of time chatting with TWO reps (and frustrating to say the least), I was advised that there was no going back and there was supposedly nothing that they could do to remove that shipping selection. I advised that this was not fair, as no price was disclosed for the additional charges I would face for shipping and they should not blind-side customers with such an astronomical, unaffordable fee. Please refund ASAPBusiness Response

Hello *******,
.
I'm Abhishek 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.
We're sorry to know about the shipping charges associated with your recent order.
However, I was unable to locate any shipping charge of $600.00 on your order #***-5115708-1997007.The shipping charges on this order is $69.15.
I see that there was an initial authorization of $1,559.80 on September 27, 2022. However $637.62 was dropped on September 28th and you were charged only $922.18. If you see the additional charge on your statement, it could be authorization and will be dropped by your card issuer as per their policies. Ideally in **** business days. If you do not see the dropped charge, please contact your card issuer.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.Regards,
Abhishek

Hello I did a live chat and a phone call with customer service ********************** regarding a pair of earphones. They were stolen from a delivery and I asked the customer service rep if they can refund the account because it was the worst shipment it was supposed to arrive between two and six it did not arrive and I believe it was stolen because I never ever received it. Customer service for created a lot of problems for me it was very unprofessional. I believe that the customer service reps are involved in money laundering, trafficking, and stealing products from Amazon. I have been getting fake emails from various Amazon maps and I would like to see my earphones refunded for the amount of $22.39.Business Response

Placed order on 9/20 for dog treats at Amazon for prime delivery guaranteed for sat 9/24. Item didnt arrive so I checked order and messaged seller for tracking. No tracking was provided but seller fraudulently marked item shipped and when i contacted him he said item lost and so he will reship and i will get it in **** days. I urgently needed treats and purchased from local Target (after getting this problem) and asked seller to cancel since he had no proof of his story. No tracking showing item in transit or lost. ****** refused called me scammer and told me to get list. Contacted Amazon several times and they refuse to cancel. Sller feedback shows several other buyers complain of not receiving item and a]Amazon covers that bu stating it is not seller fault. New delivery updated date showed after missed guaranteed sat 9/24 which was pushed to wed 9/28 at which time I would have opportunity to file refund claim since I didnt receive order and no tracking ever since. Today Amazon updated delivery date (mind there is no tracking to back it) pushing it to October 4 making it impossible for me to get out of broken agreement except maybe calling my bank for chargeback which I want to do at last resort. In addition to Amazon protecting scammer and making it impossible for me to get my money back and cancel this order they state that I will be able to return it. Guess what seller refused to cancel. And it is seller who declines returns or he actually may accept return and make partial refund (restocking; A-Z guarantee)! I am attaching proof of how Amazon manipulated]s order delivery dates and customer is not given option to back out or is asked if they willing to waiit since terms changed.Customer Answer

Amazon was asked for hekp numerous times and they prevent me fro. Filing no ]t received claim by pushing expected delivery date into the future when the previous delivery date ]approached. Seller stated he ****** this ite (larger 1 lb) with *** but didnt provide tracking even after being asked. There is no evidence item was shipped lost delayed by carrier.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I just want to mention that this deceptive practice by Amazon is not acceptable to move the delivery dates to prevent custo er to file not received claim. And that I had to file complaints with federal and state government os to get help is abominable. Amazon customer support never followed up with me on the case. I]refund was processed after I logged into account after filing complaint with bbb the button to cancel miraculously showed up. I should be able to get customer support when I asked and instead I got customer support to further complicate and moving dates spitefully. Getting customer support attention to the messages that seller sent me was 0 and I was treated as scammer when in fact was a victim. I am positive that if BBB wasnt around I would never get my refund and getting my bank to help is impossible as well. What is going on? More and more scams and less help to resolve it from businesses. Trust is undermined.

I purchased a $159.99 portable air conditioner from Amazon in June. The unit arrived and I tried it out for a day but the unit was NOT like it described in description with warm air coming out of vent. I emptied the water from the dish of unit and wiped it down and packed it back with is papers and in its original box with its parts. I returned item via *** to Amazon. I received noticed that unit was in transit and it was stalled fir a while. When I contacted Amazon to understand the delay of the return, the first associate I spoke with, after being put on hold, I was told that I would be receiving a refund. After more delay, I called back Amazon and again, after having Amazon look into it, I was told I would be receiving a refund. After more delays and again, on hold to investigate, it was brought to my attention that I would not be receiving a refund being told that the unit returned was dirty and damaged and that the item was destroyed. I asked to see the unit that supposedly was received damaged to show me it so I can dispute hiw I sent it via ***. At this point, being upset at the run around I received from Amazon, I asked Amazon that my unit, that I paid $159.99, be returned to me if I am not being refunded my money. I was told no and that it was destroyed and there is no unit to return, so I am without $159.99 and without a unit. I am left with NOTHING, as if my hard earned money did not matter to Amazon and according to them, they told me they will not be accountable of this situation. Amazon records their calls for quality assurance, so all I am saying should be on file. I am requesting either a full refund of $159.99 or my unit back that I spent money on. This idea that I am to be left without my unit or refund snd out of $159.99 is absurd to say the least and completely unacceptable. Thank you.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:this is the FIRST time I am hearing that the item that was received was not the item purchased. WHY??? AND WHY was the item not returned to me if what AMazon is saying is true??? There is NO excuse or proof that what Amazon is saying is true since I was told they destroyed that evidence. Where is the evidence that NOW Im being told that the item was not the right item since up until now I was told that the item received was dirty and damaged ( which was leading me to think item was damage during transit NOT from me). I didnt spend $159.99 and to not have my unit or my money and that is robbery. I have been a customer of ********************** for quite some time now. You can look at my record. I have returned items, some expensive , some not, and I have NEVER had an issue as I am NOT a dishonest person to be accused of what I am being accused of. ENOUGH of this ridiculous notion that AMazon can think of stealing $159.99 from a customer. Its either a refund or my unit back. Nothing returned to the consumer is NoT acceptable.
