I ordered a memory stick (RAM) total of 3 rams from Amazon On July 30th, 2022. I received the packages from Amazon on August 1st, 2022. However, I opened it and found only 1 condom (silver pack) and no memory stick. Therefore, I start to chat with customer service about this matter and soddenly chat said this case is closed and chat disappears so I called the customer service (Call recorded) lady rep told me to open the second package and let her know So I opened it but another condom inside. One day later, I received a customer service e-mail and they are requiring a photo of the package so I sent it but the second e-mail from Amazon CS said I must return all the memory sticks to Amazon return service. How I can return the memory sticks that I don't receive it? This is a fraud from Amazon or Seller I don't know but All I know is this is criminal please investigate it. All I received was the e-mail following: "Items purchased as a set must be returned as a set, so make sure that you return all of Kingston Fury Beast 16GB 6000MHz ********* DIMM Single Module Desktop Memory KF560C40BB-16 Black to receive a full refund.

Yeah I do receive the refund from Amazon But I have to call bank to dispute and reported to the local police and so on.
All the effort and stressful time have been starting with this order. Also, The Amazon customer service treated me so terrible.
Also, AmazonCs sound like I am the fraud one because of the recent cases by the Amazon customers.
I want to see the investigate by the Amazon for this case. Therefore, I have to protect myself with ** Attorney of law office for helping this case.
So many questions, Wrong items sent but weight of the package was the correct Also so many weird and unusual delivery time and so on.
Really weird thing was the second package that I don't want to open it but Telephone cus-rep told me to open it (call recorded it). Why she said that to me still so many questionable.
Supposed to estimate delivery time was more than 10 days from order date but very next day delivered with wrong items and unusual customer service manners (treat me as a criminal)
Once again, Thank You for refund the money but still question and can't trust Amazon any more.
Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Recently (7/31/22) I received notice that my in-good-standing account for Lost Ark (provided through Amazon Game Studios) was permanently banned and inaccessible. The reason given was simply: Cheating. I filed an appeal, told the account would remain suspended.After the appeal was reviewed I received an email stating :"Hello,We initiated a new review based on the information you provided on appeal and have reconfirmed our initial decision that the original disciplinary action was merited in your case.We understand this may not be the result you hoped to receive. However, please understand that we've looked into your case carefully and that any further appeals on this issue will not result in a different outcome.We hope you can understand why we take violations of our code of conduct seriously as these can be harmful to the overall community and integrity of the game experience for all.As these situations can be contentious, we need to reserve the right to determine what constitutes fair play and to take corrective action when we deem necessary, to protect the community at large.Further correspondence on this matter won't receive a response....Best regards,****************Amazon Game Studios"So Further Correspondence on this matter will not receive a response. Forum access to their help forums was blocked as a result of this, and I cannot pursue further information. There have been numerous threads posted on their forums re: account false-positive bans (attached) I have spent over **** hours in the product since February and spent over $1130.00 through verified Steam purchases on the game (Purchase history attached). Ridiculous.I am not seeking a refund on any money or time spent, I simply would like the account which had been in great standing reinstated.

Greetings from Amazon services,
I understand that the seller is not able to login to the selling account under the email address: ****************.
On checking the account, I see that the sellers buying and selling account status is Normal and seller can login to the selling account without any issues.
I have sent a password reset email to the email address: **************** and seller would be able to reset the password and login to the selling account without any issues.

Dear,On April 1st, 2022, I received an email, and then my Amazon account couldn't log in. I don't know how to appeal. So I can only send the email to you. If you can help me solve this problem, I beg you to help me. If you can't help me solve this problem, I beg you to forward my email to the relevant team. Thank you very much.I am a third-party partner of Amazon. I didn't use my buyer's or seller's account to do anything against Amazon's policy.My buyer account did not buy any Amazon products, nor did I defraud Amazon of compensation. I haven't used my buyer account.I operate my seller account in compliance. No cheating customers, no illegal refund, no violation of Amazon seller guidelines.I consulted the seller and buyer customer service. They told me that my buyer account was locked by Amazon due to abnormal behavior. This makes my seller account unable to log in. The seller needs to log in to my account. I have not replied to the customer's information for nearly a month and have not completed the normal business activities such as order delivery. This is not in line with Amazon's business philosophy.I sincerely hope Amazon can unlock my account. I didn't do anything against Amazon's policy. My buyer account has abnormal behavior, which is not my operation. My account *** have been stolen by others. When my account is restored, I will change my password immediately. Enable two-step verification at the same time.I will submit my ID card, business license, credit card and other information for review.Look forward to your reply!Sincerely ** YUANBusiness Response

Dear BBB,My amazon account was suddenly locked. I used my account legally until it was locked. I have been using this account for 7 years. I don't understand why Amazon locked my account. My account has been locked for more than two years. In the past two years, I have tried various ways to contact Amazon to solve my problem, but I have not received a reply from Amazon. So I am very angry and frustrated, because at the same time I am an Amazon seller and I cannot operate my store normally after the account is locked, which has brought me serious financial losses.Now I really need your help!I want to appeal to Amazon to restore my account.Attached are the details of my account.My Amazon account email address is: ********************* Look forward to your reply!*******************Business Response

A week ago I placed an order on Amazon. It was a safety vest for a motorcycle. I immediately cancelled my order as I found out the vest doesn't include other essential components. I cancelled the order immediately, and it reflected that on my order history. It said "cancelling your order".Today when I checked back, it says its been shipped. Because it's not a prime product, I can't get a refund by sending it back.I spoke to Amazon and they said they will reach out to the seller.Seller has said they fulfilled the order and that's that.My issue is with Amazon. I cancelled my order, amazon acknowledged I cancelled my order, and yet they still allowed a seller to ship something that was cancelled. I would understand if I tried cancelling 3-5 days afyer the fact, but in this situation it was immediate.I believe Amazon should offer me a full refund back to my original payment method. $170CAD.Business Response

Hello Josh,
I'm Praveen 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'm sorry for the trouble you had with canceling the order.
When an order is placed with a seller, you have 30 minutes to cancel the order. After 30 minutes, you can request cancellation directly from Your Account. Select the order you want to cancel and click the "Request cancellation" button.
I understand that the order is already shipped and is in customs clearence as per the tracking. In this case, only getting in touch with the seller should help you.
Unfortunately we are unable to issue refund for the order unless the item is returned back.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.
We look forward to see you soon.
