      These people are literally making me feel like I've lost my mind. I bought a couple items that were on sale from Amazon and I choose the try before you buy option. When the items were delivered and ready to purchase or return they charged me the full price instead of the sale price that I originally bought it for. I remember saying how the full price was way too much and I would never buy them for that as I couldn't afford them at the time. When I tried to contact them about it they told me it was weird and they were speaking with their manager. For 3 hours I was on the phone just for them to tell me there is nothing I can do about it unless I have proof. Lol proof what? I never expected any of this to happen so unfortunately I didn't take screenshots, horrible idea on my part but I've been a prime member for years and never expected this. The only thing I can do is pay more money to return my items that possibly might not get accepted and re buy them when they go on sale again? That just seems crazy to me how they want me to go through all that when I just want to pay the sale price I was offered without them telling me I'm lying or there is nothing they can do about it. I've also checked all my emails and funny thing is there are no price or anything in any of it. They told me they weren't on sale but they were looking at the sales now and not the date I bought them. I know for a fact they were on sale I would never have bought them full price.

      Complaint: 17595567

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Why do I have to return my items that were on sale because I was charged full price? This just seems crazy why do I have to go through all this? I simply just want the prices I was offered this doesn't make sense. I'll have to pay for shipping and spend even more money. I've never heard of this type of response. Oh I'm sorry you didn't get the sale price that was offered just send it back for a full refund and buy it again when it's on sale? Can we please just correct the price I was offered and not have to spend more money I don't have because of your guys mess up?

      Sincerely,

      On February 17th, 2022 I opened an Amazon business account and paid $192.43 for my annual membership. I made my first order shortly after for a box resizing tool to use for the business.My account was subsequently locked and I received a message saying my payment method could not be verified and I would need to send in documentation. I did so - multiple times - sending in my statement, credit card number, and anything else that was requested. I have called customer service multiple times and was told that a special team that only responds via email would reach out. They never did.Every time I email the original support email, I get a generic response from Amazon just re-requesting the same documentation. When I send it in again, there is never a response.The account is under login "sethbizmail.com" - ******************* as the owner.

      I am rejecting this response because: there was no resolution. Just another boilerplate template asking for the same information that I have already provided. There was no reinstatement of my account.

      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. I do believe, however, that the 8 months of Prime Membership that I was unable to use should have been refunded - which was not done - as I was unable to use my account during this time. Thank you BBB for your assistance, this would not have been completed by the business otherwise.

      Sincerely,
