      I cancelled a music subscription 3 times and they continued to bill me. I contcted customer service and they claimed they cancelled it and said they where refunding my money. I never recived the credit. I contacted them yet again today and they claimed my subscription was still active but they cancelled it yet again and yet again my money would be refunded in 3-5 days. They continue to lie to me. I just want my money returned like they said and the subscription cancelled. I have a screen recording of they chat with customer service if you also need it

      They've closed my Amazon account stating the reason was because they closed another account of mine in the past but this was the only account I've ever used so I don't understand their reasoning and would like to appeal the decision. I've been a loyal Amazon customer for years.

      Back in Dec 2020 i had purchased an amazon fire tablet 8inch for my kid which came with a worry free 2 year replacement guarantee. My order number was - Order# ***-5092599-7897007 Today when i called for my replacement since the screen broke by my child i was told in order for Amazon to send me the item they will be charging me a fee of $16.99 for replacement even though the website says FREE.Even today if you go on the website no where does it mentions that you have to pay a $16.99 fee to get a replacement item. here is the link to product - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WDDT3G5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I asked the representatives to show me on the Amazon website where does it says that a person needs to pay $16.99 for replacement items for which the first rep mentioned that its in terms and conditions. when i asked for her to guide me on the terms and conditions page she was unable to do so. So i asked her to transfer me to a supervisor who also told me the same $16.99 charges and she also could not justify where on the website does it says to pay the fees when clearly it says that it will be replaced for free.Amazon is doing false advertising and scamming their customers. I would like the item to be replaced for FREE as i was told when i had bought the product initially.

      I am a third-party seller on Amazon; I own two accounts, and both are suspended for being related to one another. You see, when a seller operates multiple accounts and one is suspended for a policy violation, the account without the policy violation will be suspended as well. However, neither of my accounts are suspended for a policy violation; the suspension notice for each places blame on being related to the other account. No matter what I say, where I send it to, I am told to open the offending account. What am I supposed to do when they are both the other account?As you can imagine, I am frustrated beyond words, and Amazons automation is sending me in circles. Amazon could fix this, but they wont give me the time of day. Please help me. Sincerely, ****************************************** A1G0ZAQEW76XQK ********** Co.AGMZAND35EI3H me **************.

      I placed an order with amazon.com on Friday, September 23. With my prime shipping, it should have been delivered on Sunday, September 25. I got an email at *********************************************************** front door was not accessible. Neither of those are true - I was home all day. I went online and chatted with Prity. ***** said they would refund me the money as well as a month of my prime membership. On September 26, I still had not received any emails stating my refunds were done so I once again went online and chatted with ****** this time. The refund for the cups went thru fine. However, instead of just issuing me a one month refund. ****** decided to CANCEL my prime membership. When I pointed out the error, they blindly transferred me to ***********, who stated I would have to pay again for Prime. When I said I should not have to, as this was Amazon's error and not mine, they had someone above them call **** could not understand the supposed "supervisor" who called me (*******??) and he refused to spell his name and hung up on **** am sick and tired of being treated this way by amazon. The supposed "customer service" representatives never do what they say they are going to do. And they don't listen, but amazon expects the customer to pay more. I feel as though since I am PAYING for a service, amazon should be fulfilling their end of the agreement and they are failing to do so in epic proportions.

      Hello,

      I am Mahendra 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 am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you with the order. I understand your concern and would have felt the same if I were you.

      Upon checking the previous conversations with the agents regarding the order cancellation and Prime refund, I see that the refund for the order is processed and I see that on September 26, 2022 Athul from the leadership team has add $20 promotional credit to your account as a token of apology .

      The promotional credits which will automatically apply the next time you order an eligible item sold and shipped by Amazon.com. Your promotional balance doesn't appear in Your Account, but will always display at checkout when you place an order through the Shopping Cart for an eligible item shipped and sold by Amazon. Note that, promotional credits are one-time use credits and once applied to an order are nonrefundable.

      And regarding the prime sign we don't have option to activate prime from our end, Hence request you to sign up prime from your end .

      To become a member of Amazon Prime and for more information about our various Prime memberships, go to our Sign-up page:

      Complaint: 18129481

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Hi,


      But once again - heres my problem.


      1). I did not ask for this to be canceled.  If the representative had bothered to actually READ what I had wrote they would have known that.


      2). Why should I have to sign up again and be charged again?  First of all, I dont have the extra funds.  Second of all, this was amazons error.  Not mine.  If the representative on Sunday had bothered to follow thru like she PROMISED she would, none of this would have happened.


      Once again, Amazon has messed up and once again it is me having to pay extra money.  How is that fair or right?  

      Sincerely,

      I have reached out multiple time in regards of my amazon account getting disabled due to a violation policy. I did not try to make this occur as I have good standing on Amazon and I have had satisfied customers. I would like to ensure that no mistakes or rules will be broken on my end and would like my account reinstated. Thank you

      I am rejecting this response because: I did not receive an email regarding the documentation that I need to submit in order for this complaint to proceed. I receive the message that they need additional information from me, but what additional information is needed is never specified. It would be so helpful if they let me know what I need to submit specifically so that I can get this problem resolved. My account had been deactivated for past  months and they sent me an email on 16th October 2022 that it just got deactivated and that I will be able to submit an appeal for disbursement after 90 days when I should have been able to submit that appeal now.

      I recently got sent to collections for the Legend model, which I bought on Amazon. It says I owe more money, but it was paid in full. It does not say anywhere in the description that I would owe more after buying it. I don't know why I'm sent to collections over this, it's completely paid and I have no remaining debt through them. Either this business is a scam or it has attempted to steal my identity and charge me for things to force me to give them more money. I need this collections rectified from my credit report. I did not purchase anything else and the one purchase I made was paid for. I don't even recognize the card used on the paperwork they sent.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
