Billed for a phone I did not order and did not receive. Called multiple times to Amazon supposed customer service. It's been almost sixty days and and no one can tell me why, when, how the phone was delivered. I called the day the debit was issued on January 30.Customer service said it was a scam and the order was cancelled. However, the $985.07 was never credited. I did not even know what the item was until the customer service rep, told **** have spent considerable time talking to "supervisors" who cannot see, do, or facilitate an explanation, or show proof of delivery.Business Response

On February 19th of 2024, I purchased a pair of ****** sneakers, size 6 big kids for my son. It is now March 26, and I have not received them. The estimated date keeps changing and they have yet to be shipped. I have spoken to several different customer service representatives with live chat in ***** who have promised me the moon. They keep telling me that the closest distribution center does not have them, so they will have to ship from somewhere else. The first guy promised that they would be shipped within 48 hours, but that was about 6 days ago. He also offered some type of compensation that I have yet to receive. They keep handing me off to other reps and are wasting my time! And now I'm wasting my time writing this. The shoes are currently still available online but time is running out. As of today, March 26, there is only 1 pair left. I was promised the shoes at a good price and I feel that is why they are not giving them to me.Business Response

All of my payment information was removed from the account without notice. I had to log into my account every time and said there is a return payment. All of my transactions were billed to my cc with funds. No one can tell me why this happened. A manager sent a email for a link to clear this up but the link goes to there help page. I tried to add a cc and it would not let me. I called a 4th time and she said to fill out the link I advised there is nothing to fill out. I also received a statement my electronic check failed. I do not use any kind of checks. What is going on? I do not want his on my credit report.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,We have sent a request to the responsible Team to re-measure the item with the **** B00MZD6MIE / X003WVZBAJ (the case ID is *************** problem is that Amazon is constantly changing the dimensions of the same product which is stored on FC. The dimensions are constantly changing and constantly increasing, which is why our Product Size Tier and the fees are growing too high. The last change in dimensions made fee too expensive. We have requested the re-measurement as the product dimensions have become incorrect but we did not change product packaging and product itself stayed the same.We asked the responsible Team to put in order a product size tier (the correct one is *************** and an amount of FBA fee as well as product dimensions that Amazon measured and approved before the last changes (***** x 9.00 x 2.10 in).But the Team measured the item incorrectly.We escalated the issue but nothing worked. Our product has soft edges and we need it to be measured correctly. Sincerely,Progressive AP ***Business Response

Greetings from Amazon,
We have checked the history for **** B00MZD6MIE and did find that this was addressed in case *********** and that a response was sent to the seller on March 23, 2024 stating the following:
Thank you for your patience while we performed the remeasure of the package for the **** B00MZD6MIE.After further review, we confirmed that the correct package dimensions are: * Length: ***** INCHES * Width: 9.13 INCHES * Height: 1.50 INCHES * Weight: 0.29 POUNDS Based on the updated dimensions, the current size tier is correct.
As the dimensions were checked and verified within the last 7 days we would not be able to dispute this further. Please have the seller refer back to the most recent case if they have further questions.

I am experiencing an issue with Amazon regarding orders placed between January 17, 2024, and January 20, 2024 (order numbers: 111-5282326-3454646, 111-2109059-0304204, 111-6847770-7253865). Despite receiving the goods, they are not appearing in my order history, preventing me from initiating returns. I have reached out to Amazon customer support five times via phone calls and chats from February 2, 2024, to March 26, 2024. Each time, I was assured the problem would be resolved within 24 hours, but it remains unresolved. I request Amazon to allow the returns of these products and issue a refund.Business Response

I sent back a pair of shoes to Amazon's warehouse on March 19, 2024 because there was another pair that I got for a cheaper price. My account does not show the tracking information or the return, and I keep calling and contacting customer service chat to get my refund issued. They repeatedly cancel my attempts to get in touch, and when I do get in touch, they give me conflicting information. Yesterday, a representative told me that my refund was issued; today, I was told that they had not received the item. I asked to speak to a supervisor. ******* on the phone told me that supervisors are not accepting calls at this time. It appears that Amazon is actively dissuading me from pursuing the refund I am owed by giving me conflicting information and by interfering with my attempts to speak to persons who can resolve the issue. They are not being honest or ethical.The order number is 114-3080537-5108256. The return tracking number I have is KOH1555033160.Business Response

On 3/15/24 I was delivered the wrong item. I ordered beige barstools & received white ones. I contacted the ************* initially told me to take them to ***** &return them they don't pay for returns. They were informed that these boxes are heavy & a pick-up would be required. They stated that I could pay & I would be reimbursed. That is not sufficient as I didn't ship the wrong item they did, so why would I pay for shipping or pick-up. Then I was sent labels & told to schedule a pick-up. Initially they lied & said pick-up was included in the label, when I called & went online I was informed that an account would be need to schedule payment for the pick-up. I am not willing to pay to have these items picked up from my home when this is not an error that I created. The seller then lied & said ***** doesn't do weekend pick-**** I provided a screenshot to the contrary. I contacted Amazon customer ************** filed an Auto Z claim. They have been of no use at all. They keep telling me the seller has scheduled pick-up & that is not true. I work and go to school for my doctoral degree Monday thru Friday so weekday pick-up is not an option unless it is after 9pm. Weekends I am available. They want me to not go to class to wait on ***** and this is their error. I can not miss class and not that it is any of their business I don't have anyone that can be home to wait either. When I call customer service I get people who can't speak English and clearly don't understand what I am saying. They keep telling me the A to Z claim is going to resolve it and that has not happened. You can not even speak to anyone in that department. It is fine to outsource, but please ensure they can assist the customer properly. I am throughly and utterly disgusted with amazon and want this issue resolved immediately. Had they not sent the wrong item this would not be an issue and they keep trying to get me to keep it at a discount and I do not want them as they are not what I ordered!Business Response

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We have reviewed the issue filed for the Order ID ******************* and noticed that the third-party seller has provided prepaid return labels to the customer, to return the items back to them.
Due to the extenuating circumstances highlighted by the customer, we are willing to cover up to $150 in additional return costs incurred for dropping off the package and initiating returns through the labels provided by the seller. The customer must provide us with receipts documenting the additional shipping costs. Once provided, the amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for the order, accompanied by a confirmation email.
In summary, a refund for the order amount and any additional costs will be processed once the returns are complete, provided that the customer has submitted the requested documents to us.
Sincerely,********

Again that is not a viable resolution. The prepaid labels DO NOT include pick up. The sellers need to contact ***** or another courier to pick up the items on the weekend. I work 9 to 5 and then go to school for my doctorate. I can not miss work or ***** due to the negligence of the seller providing me with the wrong item. The boxes are heavy and there are 2 of them. I can not lift them nor am I going to try to lift them to transport them to *****. In my initial claim I provided evidence that ***** does indeed have weekend pick-**** The incompetent sellers just need to pick up the phone to do so. If fed ex is not an option then perhaps Amazon should take that $150 and hire *** to come pick up the items on the weekend. You are already holding $373 of my money hostage and I am not willing to spend a ***** more toward an egregious situation that I did not create. Your solution where I am the secretary and the courier is not a viable one. Please provide a solution that doesn't insult me or my intelligence.

I ordered a label printer from Amazon online. I paid $81.47. I have not been able to get it to work. I read everything Amazon suggested and tried to contact ******* (the manufacturer). No way to contact them. Amazon Keeps telling me to contact the manufacture and to look up the contact information myself. I tried twice to call amazon and they stop talking and do not return to the live call. Once I was on hold, not talked to and hung up on. Only AI talks to me on the chat.
