      Hello Chanta,

      I'm ******** 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.

      Im sorry to learn about the problem with refund on your order. It is certainly not what we expect our customers to go through.

      Upon reviewing the complaint and order details, I see that for the item in order ending in #**** there is no return label created and return for the item isn't received hence refund isn't initiated.

      For the item that was returned using Dv9pxfs8RRMA, I see the refund of $66.65 was processed successfully to original payment method on Sunday, December 17, 2023.

      I hope this information helps. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      I ordered a pair of **** Men's Flex Core Pants, Dark Grey/Dark Grey, ***** from Amazon on March 11, 2024. I was not expecting that I was ordering from another company due to the order being placed on Amazon. I received the item on March 16, 2024. When I opened that item it was the wrong item. I then initiated a return in order to get a refund but my refund wasn't going to occur until the company which was not Amazon received my return order. I then called amazon on March 25, 2024 to inquire about getting my refund as soon as possible due to being deceived by Amazon and getting a different item sent to me. The told me that in small print on the Amazon website to purchase shows sold by: Micro Global Goods. Which means that Amazon is not who I purchased the item from. The is deceitful and fraudulent because I did not receive the item that I ordered and then was told that I could not receive my refund until the company received the item. That caused me concern because I was misled thinking I was ordering an item from Amazon. I was sold a item that did not match the description and paid for the item and then told I could not have a refund until the company received my item. I am unsure when I will receive the refund for my item due to Amazon not taking responsibility for a mistake that they made by advertising and selling me an incorrect item. This is deceitful business practice and is unacceptable.

      On 3/24/24 I attempted to delete a credit card from my Amazon acct., done it before, HOWEVER, this time, Amazon REFUSED to allow it, without deleting my acct. So, I was forced to.I started, from square 1, and placed an order with Amazon (on-line), order number 114-3270324-3007404, for a Garmin car/tractor/trailer GPS.This morning, 3/25/24, I received an email from Amazon, stating I will HAVE to provide a "SECURITY CODE", for this delivery, or it will NOT be delivered. NEVER have I had to do this before. Not even with more expensive items.I had Amazon call me & spoke with "*****". I explained to her, nobody will be ********* never asked for all this "SECURITY CODE" thing.She immediately started giving me the "run around": I'll have to talk to this person, who transfers me to another person, who does the same. (all chuckling in the background).I then went to cancel the ****************************** "REFUSES" to cancel the order."The order can not be cancelled, since it was not delivered yet", which I have also done, once, in the past, cancelled it before the delivered, that is.All this "retaliation" over deleting a credit card? WOW!I ordered from Amazon, because Amazon showed me the details I was looking for. I can easily get one in Syr., but, have to chance it on the details.

      Hello ****,

      I'm ******** 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.

      Im sorry to learn about the problem you had while deleting credit card and cancelling the order. It is certainly not what we expect our customers to go through.

      You can delete a credit card without deleting your Amazon account from your list of payment options in Your Account (*******************************************). Just go to "Your Payments", then select the card you wish to edit on the left side of the page. The card opens in the center of the page, click 'Edit' under the card name. Select 'Remove from Wallet' to remove the card from your account. 

      Regarding the security code, To ensure secure delivery some orders may be delivered using a one-time password. One-time password verification adds extra security to your deliveries as the password is only available in your out for delivery e-mail, sent on the day of delivery.  

      You will be asked to read this password to the delivery driver to confirm the delivery. The delivery won't be completed until the password is shared with the delivery driver. 

      Upon reviewing the order details, I see that the order is shipped and is in transit to the final delivery station.

      As the order is shipped, it isn't an option to cancel however if you still wish to cancel the order, you can refuse the order at the time of delivery and once the order is returned and processed back at our return center, refund will be initiated.

      I hope this information helps. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      Interestingly enough, I DID follow the credit card delete instructions. It STILL refused to allow it.

      As for the item ordered, & the explanation for the security code? Is HOGWASH! (to be polite).
      I have ordered MUCH more expensive items & have NOT had to deal with the "PARANIOA", of a security code.

      Nor, have I EVER had to, for the "years" i've ordered from Amazon.

      For the years I have been ordering, the item have either been delivered to the porch, mailbox or even (on the RARE occurrence), someone's home, handed to one of the residences.

      Since I REFUSE to support there "paranoid delusions", I will NOT be forwarding this, so called, security code to the delivery address.

      They can refuse to deliver it, if they want to.

      We can deal with it from there.
      Thank you BBB.

      I was gifted tires from my mother-in-law as a Christmas present on 12/25/2024. After realizing these were the wrong tires she purchased, I contacted Amazon on 12/28/2024 to begin the return process. Upon contacting the Amazon ***************** I was told to return the tires to *** and keep the receipts and forward to Amazon and they will issue a full refund for the shipping costs. I had looked at how much it would costs while on the phone and told the individual that the return cost would cost more than the tires themselves. He said it did not matter, to provide the receipts and they will issue a refund.Following the conversation, that day I went to *** to return the tires for a total amount of $555.06 and followed up as soon as I got home to Amazon customer service to see how to email the receipts (how i was directed to progress this upon my first conversation). The customer service representative told me that is not the process and they do not refund for shipping like that and that I would have to file a complaint. I filed a complaint that same day and have not been refunded still. They are telling me to file a complaint with my credit card company which they should not be held accountable as *** did as they were directed. I am looking for a refund for the total amount I spend on the refund as directed by Amazon customer service.

      I'm sorry to learn that the refund isn't reflecting on your account.

      Upon reviewing the order details, I see refund amount of $405.06 is issued successfully on April 10, 2024 to your original payment method which is Amazon store card that was used on the order ending in #****.

      By this time , the refund should reflect on your card. If you're not seeing the refund, I would request you to contact your bank.

      And the refund of $150 was initiated on April 3, 2024 but it did not went through due to system glitch. 

      Hence I've reached our internal partner team to look into this issue and they've successfully initiated refund of $150 to your original payment method which is Amazon store card on April 22, 2024.

      I would request you to wait for 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect on your account.

      I hope this helps. Have a great rest of the day!

      Complaint: 21485134

      I am rejecting this response because the initial refund of $404.06 that was initiated on 4/10/2024 was not refunded to any cards linked to the Amazon account. Therefore, I would suggest you do not initiate the second transfer at this time of $150 because it appears the card you have on file is not correct. Can you please confirm the card you are refunding this to? Once you have the correct card on file, you can reinitiate the refund of $404.06 and the second transfer of $150. I would like to get this resolved soon as I am still paying interest on this with my credit card for nearly four months now.

      I'm Arun 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.

      Thanks for your time and patience.

      In order to resolve this issue, I've checked the refund options and see that there is no direct refund option for this order.

      I'll only be able to process the refund through the gift card balance.

      Please confirm and I'll get this done for you.
