To whom it may concern: I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the Avanti Ultra Nano-Titanium and Nano-Ceramic Flat Iron I purchased on May 27, 2022. After receiving and testing both items, I realized that what I was sent was a defective flat iron. In fact, the iron did not heat up as it should. The flat iron took almost twice as long to heat up and required twice the amount of passes in order to work. I have had to revert back to my old iron since. This was going to be the first time in my life reaching out to amazon. When I did I was told to drop off at purolator (insanely far from my house) or purolator drop off (which is not an available option since I am working 7 days a week at this moment). Both of these options are not possible since of my current situation. I reached out to amazon for further help and they told me that these were my ************ and there were was nothing else they could do. They kept forcing me to accept these options and when I asked if there was anything else I could do they would rudely disconnect and treated me like I was worthless. I first spoke to ***** ******* and lastly to Wonique. Each of these agents just passed me around and disconnected from the chat instead of truly looking to help me. I feel so so disrespected and disgusted by this experience. I now believe that you CANNOT buy from amazon with confidence and I am NOT looking to order anything else from here. ORDER # ***-5482391-8489862 To resolve the problem, I would like a full refund to be issued. I purchased the Flat Iron on May 28, 2022 and I am still covered under amazon guarantee. Thank you for your anticipated assistance in resolving my problem. I will wait 5 business days to hear back on this matter before seeking help from a protection agency. Yours faithfully.Business Response

Hello. Amazon has my account confused with another. I've been trying to create an account with Amazon and they keep closing my account due to misuse of Amazon services and I've never done such thing. I don't even know what that means. I just use Amazon like a normal person, on top of using things like Amazon Associates since I do ******* with about ****** subscribers. I'd like to continue using Amazon services such as Prime Video, shopping (of course) and others. I used to order on Amazon all of the time. My email is ***************************** Please, let me give you the opportunity to show you I mean no wrongdoing. If I return an item, it's only because there was something wrong with it. I'd like to make Amazon and myself money with associates, along with me purchasing things. On top of that, I have Amazon devices I can no longer use because they closed my account. I give you permission to closely track my account to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. There's no alternatives that even come close to Amazon. Once again, I have a ******* channel with about ****** subscribers and growing, on top of other channels. Why would I risk my ******* channel to "misuse Amazon services" on top of risk my Amazon Associates income? I'd like to start linking Amazon products again. I got a lot of clicks on those links. Now I'm forced to link my audience to other websites.Business Response

We've forwarded this complaint to our A-Z Guarantee team for further investigation.

Unfortunately, we're unable to take an action on this order.

Hello *******,
I am Raman from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
I see the concern that you have shared with the return on the GTRACING Gaming chair on Order ID: *******************, and have reviewed the issue in detail. We are not able to issue any refunds or billing adjustments at this time.
The item was shipped and sold by a third party seller, they handle their own returns. The seller, while approving the return, had issued a return label which needed to be paid by the sender and then requested to be refunded the shipping charges. In this case, we are not able to require the seller to send a prepaid label or arrange a pickup.
Considering the time that has elapsed since the return label has been issued, we recommend that you work with the seller on this issue. You could write the seller using the Contact Seller option on the order details page.
I also share the link to the seller's home page to contact them. Please quote the order number and the relevant issues pertaining to the email so they can research and offer available options.

Hello,
We have reviewed the issue filed for Order ID ******************* and noticed that the A to Z Guarantee Claim was denied.
Order was placed on 02/17/2022. ***** raised a return request on 03/26/2022 and on the same day, the request was approved by the Seller. ***** didn't return the item within the return window as they wanted a pick up to be arranged for the item.
On 7/7/2022, Seller reached out to Buyer asking them to provide address details in order to arrange Call Tag/ Pickup. Since, ***** failed to respond with the requested details on time, they are ineligible for a return and refund.
In summary, we are unable to issue a refund to the Buyer as the return guidelines were not met for this order, by ******
