      I purchased a tent from Amazon on July 13, 2022. At the time when I purchased the tent the list price was $199.95, the shipping (to *****, where I currently live) was $65.29 and the purchase screen said that there was no import fees deposit. After putting the tent into my cart an import fees deposit of $38.20 was added to the total cost. I purchased the tent for a total price of $303.44 at around 5pm Pacific Time on July 13 (9am ***** Time July 14).About 2 hours later, I noticed the cost of the same tent from the same seller had went down to $109.99 with the same shipping and again the page said no import fees deposit. I put the tent in my cart and went to the payment page and the total was $175.28 for the same product. Since this was a substantial amount I contacted Amazon customer service chat. ***** was the service member I chatted with. He said I could cancel the order and repurchase at the lower price since it hadn't shipped. After he cancelled my original purchase, the price of the item in my cart went up to my original purchase price and again had an import fees deposit. ***** said not to worry and to order the tent again at the higher price and that he would make a note to refund me for $128.16. He told me to contact customer service chat again after the product arrived in ***** and tell them my order number and ask them to read the notes he made to process the refund.After the tent arrived, I contacted customer service chat again on Aug 3, told them my order number and asked them to read the notes Shams made for my refund. The first customer service member I chatted with quickly transferred me to another named ****. **** said that ***** was wrong in promising me a refund and that I wouldn't receive one, but that she would "coach" him. I tried to explain that I could have purchased the second tent at the lower price and then had Shams cancel the first order, but that I believed his promise that the refund would come. She refused my request.

      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 issue you've had with your orders for tent.

      I've checked the attachments you've provided and see that the tent offered at lesser amount is sold and shipped by Amazon. While the same tent is sold by a seller at higher price. Tent sold by Amazon are not shipped internationally to *****, however the one sold by the seller is shipped internationally. This is the reason there was a price difference for the item you've ordered.

      Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund for the price difference.

      I've forwarded your feedback about the associate who has failed to explain this.

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

      Regards,

      Abhishek

      I received the response from Amazon and contacted them directly.  Here is my rejection I sent to them:

       

      Dear Amazon (Abhishek),


      Thank you for responding to my complaint and thank you for forwarding your response to the Better Business Bureau.  


      Unfortunately, you must not have checked the attachment that is titled "cheaper price" ($109.99) accurately, as on the top right hand side of the page it does list shipping to my address (in *****) along with shipping fees ($65.29) and no customs and import tax ($0.00).  I do have another picture of the "cheaper price" item in my cart on the checkout page waiting for me to click the "Place your order" button showing the total price is $175.28 ($109.99 tent cost + $65.29 + $0.00) and clearly shows my address in *****, estimated delivery to my address in ***** along with no customs and import tax included in the price.  I'll attach this photo to this email. This picture was not attached with the previous correspondence and was the picture I took before Shams cancelled my first tent order causing its price to go back up to $303.44.  In my chat with Shams, I told him that "the price just changed again back to the original price" after he cancelled the first tent order, I'm sure you have copies of the original chat I had on Amazon customer service to verify this, if not I have copies I can attach and send as well.  He instructed me to "place the order again, and share the order number with me" and reassured me not to worry about the difference and that the refund would be processed for the difference, that's why I went ahead and purchased the tent for a second time at the higher price and didn't purchase the tent at the lower cost and have him cancel the more expensive order.  This whole situation was easily avoidable if he had let me do so, but he promised me not to worry about the refund and to just contact **************** chat again upon arrival of the product, provide the customer service member with my order number and ask them to read his notes about the situation to process the refund.  So that's what I did.  I'd like to be refunded for the difference between the two purchase orders ($128.16), which I was promised by Shams, please.


      I can make sure the Better Business Bureau receives this and future correspondence as well if you'd like.  


      Please let me know.




      Sincerely,

      ***** *********************

       

       

      *I recieved the following response from Amazon:

       

      Hello *****,

      Thank you for writing back to us.

      I understand that a promise was made by the associate for the price difference.

      As a one time exception, I've issued a refund of $128.16 to your Amazon Gift card. You can view your gift card balance and activity here:

      I ordered a Depstech Dual Lens Endoscope on 8/13/2022 I paid extra for expedited shipping. The item showed up and said no signal so it was broken. I initiated a replacement item. I received the return documents and took the old one to *****. I paid for fuel and took the time to return it to Kohls. The replacement endoscope came the following day. I opened the replacement and there was supposed the be a s**** on hook that came in the packaging. The replacement doesnt have the s**** on hook. So I contacted customer service and they wanted me to drive it back up to kohls again at my expense and drop this new one off. I told them thats not right, gas at $5.00/gal Im paying to drive this thing for the second time to return it and I lost out on the expedited shipping. So the customer service rep offered to setup a pickup that I have to coordinate with **** I work a ton of hours I dont have time to play footsie with **** I needed this a couple days ago and now Im at a loss of the shipping AND my own gas to return the first one AND I dont have a functioning endoscope.

      On the date of August 7th 2022 I placed an order and hour later my account was locked I tried contacting Amazon with nothing they could do. I had used a DEBIT CARD therefore I could not prove a billing statement however, Amazon keeps demanding one I took a photo of my ID and everything to prove owner ship only to get a email my acc was closed. I made my post here only for Amazon to keep harassing me for a billing statement even though I do not have one. I just beg that they allow me to log in with no trouble at all and buy my items that was 440 dollars wasted.

      I ordered an indoor/outdoor rug in April. The rug remained in the box until early July. I finally put the rug on my deck July 4th weekend. Within a few weeks, the rug faded significantly. I immediately contacted the seller for a resolution, but was turned down stating reasons that had nothing to do with my issue. (Not receiving the item) After several more phone calls to Amazon, I was told I could file an A to Z claim. The initial claim was denied, as well as the appeal, stating I did not request to return the item within 30 days. Please note, this is NOT a return policy issue. This is a manufacturer defect issue. An indoor/outdoor rug should NOT fade. Please see the photos I have attached.The first photo is the faded rug. The second photo is what the rug should look like. You can clearly see the difference.I have attached a few reviews of customers Based on the reviews (and they were only a few of the reviews listed) I believe Amazon needs to step up to the plate and stop participating and allowing negligent advertising and selling! I am very very disappointed in Amazon's A to Z policy. This seller should NOT be selling this rug as indoor/outdoor. It CLEARLY can not stand up to outdoor weather. And especially not for almost $600!!! Amazon will not make good for the rug and the manufacturer said to go back to Amazon.

      I am rejecting this response because: As stated previously and over and over again, this product is an example of false advertisement. The product as advertised as an indoor outdoor rug. The rug was received in April, but not put outdoors until the beginning of July. I'm asking for a full refund because the rug is useless as an indoor outdoor rug. It should be advertised as a disposable rug. It wouldn't even last 2 weeks.

      In shopping on the web with Amazon, an offer came up that if I downloaded the Amazon app I would have a $30 credit towards my first purchase. I downloaded the app. I added an item to the cart. No credit. I did a little research. Looked around. No email, no credit. I engaged a chat with Amazon with an associate. She informed me that she would apply a $30 credit to my account and when I went to make another purchase that would show up. So I went ahead and made the first purchase. When I went to make a second no credit showed up. I engaged in a second chat with an associate who told me that that was a mistake and I could only get $10. And then he informed me that he would be filing a request to coach the first associate. I let him know that I read the offer and I would not have downloaded the app if there had not been that offer. So I would love to have at least my $30 credit for spending 45 minutes and a chat with no issue resolved. I have since deleted the app and do not intend to use it again. I'm only sorry I did not take screenshots of the chats.

      I ordered a college book for a class. The order was cancelled without notification. The class starts tomorrow, so I looked at the website, and the book was cancelled. I want to know why it was cancelled.This behavior is not acceptable. How can Amazon do such a thing? I bought the book! This has happened to me more than once. I believe that Amazon cancels just to make you pay a higher price. Where is the book the I bought? I want a replacement copy mailed to me by tomorrow, overnighted for free.Order # # ***-6171316-2121011

      I ordered GooLoo Jump starter from Amazon and planning to return the product but I am not able to find the order in the order history, I contacted the customer service and request for processing the refund and they were not able to find the order and forwarded my request to a team who monitors unauthorized activity. The team came back with an answer that there is no issue with my account.I again chatted with another rep from Amazon and they said the same to file the complaint again and got the same response. Now again I chatted with another rep and got the same reply. Now they got frustrated with me bugging them and said if you want you raise a same complaint again and said your wish.

      Amazon restricted all use to my account claiming I owe them money. I have $110 balance on my Amazon gift card linked to this account. All the items were returned and I have spoke with numerous customer service representatives and cant ever get my account cleared.
