We are long time customers of Amazon for over 20 years, but never had a large appliance or furniture purchase before, and they have totally messed up, and or, were dishonest, causing huge loss of work damages: Ordered a leather recliner, per an agreement with an Amazon US 800 phone manager "team leades." 1. The first of three managers agreed to make sure the mechanical leather chair was assembled, he failed, and two huge 100 lb boxes were left at bottom of the stairs not assembled - two more hours loss and sore back complications! 2. Next manager agreed to have the assembly crew arrive a week late but did not happen, 3. the third manager agreed to ensure they would be on time, and the crew did not come at all, causing us to lose whole work day waiting and responding on the phone 8 hours loss addressing it. 4. "*********" talked to us two hours on Sunday saying she was going to get the first chair refunded, and then help with ordering the new one (now in shopping cart) and would respond am, did not happen, she was dishonest disappeared - 3 more loss of work hours, still have problems. Amazon gave three credits for 1-3 so that was $220 and the repair crew gave $140 so $360 total and one free assembly (still owed) 4. recent work losses 3hrs.. Soon as this is applied Amazon can waive payment for the new chair assembly or pay their crew that is scheduled for Thursday, as the assembly is now paid for per the Amazon agreement. We much prefer the new chai sent assembled, as that will save both parties time loss damages. Perhaps Amazon should pay more in gift money for 4 dishonest and or incompetent employees causing losses. Also they should show more respect and courtesy to customers who have spent thousands of dollars with them. They need to notify by email ******************* asap as the ************* nears, and a bad back is in medical need of a recliner and they have known this! Also, last dishonest rep tried to ignore thassembly refund email for loss of work refund.Business Response

Hello,
We have closed the claim under the Amazon A-to-z Guarantee because buyer has already disputed the charge for the order 114-9085712-5688247 with their payment provider. As a result, buyer is no longer eligible for the A-to-z Guarantee. An additional refund is therefore not possible. For more information about a refund for this purchase, we suggest buyer to contact their payment provider.

Complaint: 17720621
I am rejecting this response because: Is this the Amazon complaint? You need to put company name in it, as may not have the number. So this is not for *** casebut as far as the Amazon refund on the chair, since amazon was taking forever on the refund, we disputed it with the bank, however that bank has had this dispute
for way over a month, and there is no 100 precent guarantee that they will drop the charge, and if they do not, then Amazon remains libel for the refund. We also asked
Amazon to contact the bank that issued the card as an Amazon partner, and tell them they can drop the charge as Amazon can give as amazon did not want to pick
up their property so forfeit the right to charge for it. So Amazon should tell the bank to cancel charge, or the bank should cancel charge, or Amazon just tells the bank
to cancel the charge. If none of these then this case must remain open to ************ finally finalizes the no charge, and they are on about week six on this! DO NOT CLOSE THIS CASE UNTILL BANK CANCELS CHARGE AND THIS IS WAY OVERDUE!!!

Ive called Amazon multiple times to advise them the item never arrived, they are refusing to refund and replace the item. *** asked them multiple times to conference call **** so they can verbally confirm the item is lost, but they are now refusing to call them.

Amazon is holding my account hostage and their customer support is outside ****** making it extremely difficult to resolve anything. Im locked out of account because my phone number is temporarily not available and they cannot help me. They sent me in circles stating the two step verification process needs to be changed yet they didnt help me and I am unable to access my account and update my info and change of number. Also, most importantly, when you cancel your Amazon account, it cancels access to my IMDb account and they have changed my photos around and mess with my account. Im a professional in the entertainment industry and Amazon will change my pictures without my permission when I am not paying for their service. This affects my income and business in a negative wayBusiness Response

The business received the order on August 9, 2022, and has not issued a refund. I spoke to the company, and they have stated they will require until September 6, 2022 at minimum to investigate the returns, of which they hold all the items already. They have said, in an email, that if it isnt compete by this date, to call them again, and they will only investigate further. I have told the business I will wait a maximum of 2 weeks from the receipt date for the refund, and will then dispute the charges on my card, which they responded that there will be consequences for any chargebacks. When I reminded them that they already have the product, and that it is fraudulent to hold the product and my money without issuing a refund, they continued to repeat the same information without offering an actual resolution or concrete timeline for the refund.Business Response

I ordered a Fender Tone Master Super Reverb Amp from Amazon. The box arrived today and there is no amp inside of it. There is some plastic and packaging material, but the Fender Amp is not in the box. I contacted Amazon multiple times, and they kept transferring me to "the only department that could help me". I was placed on hold for 40 minutes the first time and 47 minutes the second time, and I never reached anyone. I called back in a 3rd time and spoke to a Supervisor named ***** (maybe *****), and he forwarded my information to the same department, and he told me it could take 48 hours for them to get back to me. About 5 mins later, **** from the department emails me telling me that they won't refund me or replace the item. They told me I need to file a police report and only then will they "investigate". I called my local police department and cannot in good conscience file a report because I don't know that the item was stolen. My mail delivery person delivered the box to my door and I picked it right up. It was not left on my porch, and so it was not stolen from my porch. I can't file a police report telling the police that Amazon didn't put my product in the box. I requested a supervisor to contact me immediately, and no one contacted me. So now I bought a product that cost $1,350.00, and I did not get the product and Amazon won't refund me or replace the item.Business Response

I ordered a 10x30 Gazebo on Aug 3, 2022, for ******. This item was delivered in a beat-up busted tapped-up box. We opened the box and it only contained the poles with no canopy, We immediately tapped this box back up and requested a refund. The seller started sending messages about giving us 10per off to keep it. We were not interested because I can't use a tent without a canopy and just poles. I spoke to 2 managers who were very understanding and would get this taken care of **** I spoke to 2 one today who could care less. All he could tell me was what he couldn't do. I asked if he could contact the investigation ***** Nope. All he wanted to advise me was how this dispute had nothing to do with amazon and it was between the seller and myself. I told my husband we should cancel our prime membership because it's evident we are paying for a service that is flawed. This guy tells me to go ahead and cancel it, I told him I'm sure he could care less because that's what he has shown me the whole time talking to him. My request is that Amazon do the right thing and give me my full refund and I would like to be compensated for the inconvenience of wasting my time when time is money and holding to speak with them to no resolve. There has to be better customer service than the last manager I spoke with. Let me add to this when I spoke to ********** she was Charm. Please find more reps like her who value and know how to speak to people not just see them as another caller. I have attached docs check the dates. My item was sent back when the seller started sending these crazy requests to give 10 percent off. If AMazon fights this hard for the seller who fights for the client?Business Response
