      Amazon marketplace supports third-party vendors that sell fraudulent products. When contacted regarding ** they offer incredibly limited means to supply proof of such issues, often giving the "go around". Eventually they hang up on you instead of continuing a conversation, and don't offer the basic options of email addresses to send proof, even though they request such proof.I myself was merely relaying the information given to me by the genuine item manufacturer, regarding their verification of the product being not genuine. I am not asking for a refund, or for any reflection towards myself, but merely attempting to be a good Samaritan and supply them with information so they are better able to service their customers. Instead of any action or gratitude, they attempt to disrespect their customers to the point of defrauding them of money or genuine products with no remorse, but no desire to remedy the situation.

      Hello,Please help. I feel cheated by Amazon regarding Amazon Basics Dehumidifier, Order# ***-1148682-0463418.I bought Amazon Basics because Amazon said it had more leeway to ***** refunds on Amazon's own products as opposed to marketplace sellers. I bought the dehumidifier due to Amazon's energy efficiency claims.The dehum acted weird from the beginning. I contacted Amazon many times, but Amazon ignored me or hung up on me multiple times. How rude and how unfair.Amazon falsely advertised the dehum's water removal claims as well as the energy efficiency claims. The dehum in a small to medium sized room removes maybe only one cup of water per day. That is pathetic and not even remotely close to what Amazon advertised. Furthermore, the unit is always running perhaps because it is not removing much water. A unit that is always running is the OPPOSITE of energy efficient. Consumer Reports's unbiased review of the product is further proof that this dehum is garbage. ** scored the dehum a measly 35 out of 100. That is truly awful. CR rated the water removal the lowest score of 1/5 and efficiency a 2/5. These scores corroborate my findings and prove that Amazon falsely advertised.The house now has mold everywhere! This is a disaster, esp for people who are allergic to mold, and my mom became very sick. If the dehum had actually worked, the mold would not have come. We have unnecessarily and unfairly suffered a lot.Again, this situation could have been prevented if Amazon was honest and did not falsely advertise and/or sell a lemon dehumidifier.Even if we bought the dehum five years ago, which we clearly did not, that does not give Amazon the right to falsely advertise and/or sell a lemon. Amazon must stand behind its products and refund us as promised.Also, Amazon cannot ignore me for many months and claim any deadline has passed. That is fraudulent behavior. Amazon kept sabotaging the refund eg by hanging up on me and running out the clock on me. I have lost track of how many times Amazon agents have deliberately hung up on me. Rudeness has become an epidemic at Amazon! I have repeatedly left feedback regarding agents hanging up on me, but Amazon's rude and sabotaging behavior continues. (Another customer posted a similar review.) The dehum was ordered for my mother, who is a senior citizen. She is unable to handle (or touch or be near) a unit that is contaminated by mold so she cannot return the item. (Plus, the dehum is way too heavy for her. I had to fly down to her place and set up the dehum for her.)Amazon apparently said it has policies that protect shippers or workers from health hazards (eg mold). A moldy dehumidifier is a health hazard to shippers and Amazon workers. Amazon had told us that it could fully refund us without getting the item back. We have yet to be refunded.Furthermore, I wrote an honest product review, but Amazon unfairly blocked it even though my review was honest, professional and did not contain any profanity. Amazon probably blocked the review because it did not want the truth coming out regarding its falsely advertised lemon dehum. 1. Amazon needs to refund back to the credit card promptly.2. Amazon needs to stop advertising this dehum as energy efficient.3, Amazon needs to publish my review without editing it or hiding it in any way. Thanks,**********************

      I notified Amazon in a timely manner multiple times.

      Furthermore, even if I notified Amazon FIVE YEARS after purchase (which is obviously not the case here), no amount of time allows you to FALSELY advertise.  

      Amazon said it would refund me so you must.  

      Please escalate to someone who is actually able and willing to do the right thing and refund me promptly.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is just another copy and paste scam of a response from Amazon.


      Amazon falsely advertised.  The dehum is not energy efficient.


      Amazon promised refunds multiple times, but failed to refund.  I have shown proof.


      Amazon cannot make promises and then not fulfill them.  That is fraud.


      Furthermore, Amazon cannot say that time has run out when AMAZON was the one who ran out the clock in bad faith.


      If the clock had truly run out, Amazon would not have promised refund in the first place.


      Again, Amazon repeatedly misled me and cheated me.


      Amazon owes me money and needs to refund me immediately.

      Product delivered from Amazon on 2/22. Product was determined damaged upon opening the box. Attempted partial refund. After a week of non response from seller and Amazon I contacted support again. Waited an additional few days and did not get a partial refund worthy so asked for full return and refund. 2 weeks later and several chats Amazon has not refunded. Seller has not picked up item. I was told they filed a guarantee claim against seller and my full refund would be processed but no one has record of it. I have paid interest on over a $1000 purchase and no customer service contact from ********************** can help with resolution. I have pages and pages of service chat that are too large to upload.

      I have two different orders that Amazon is refusing to refund. I have been bringing my returns to the same Amazon hub all year; however, they have had some issues with their scanners recently. I dropped off 4+ items on February 1 to the Hub and two of them were not refunded. The reason for this is because the employee at the Hub did not properly scan those two items, so it shows as if I never dropped them off. This also occurred with an item on March 19, and I went back to the Hub to see what happened and they said there were issues all day across various locations with the scanners. However, this has now resulted in the Hub placing three items that I purchased into a large *** box without giving me the credit that I returned them. I no longer have these items and have spent 4 Horus on the phone, along with many emails to Amazon and they refuse to refund me. I even went to the hub to have the lady speak with them that worked there to vouch that I had returned the items. I asked the customer service to check their security cameras of me returning them even, as there is no reason I would lie about this. I just want a refund on these three items. I spent 2 hours on the phone just today and spoke with the manager in the repairs specialist department (named ******************) and she hung up on me after 45 minutes and refused to transfer me to customer loyalty. This service is beyond terrible and, not only did I not receive a refund, but Amazon refuses to send me back the items even though they did receive them since they did get that box since part of my order was refunded.Order #***-0878626-3965056 (returned 2/1/24): item issues (Avidlove **** Bralette) and Deerose Women 60s Pants Order #***-156394-9401823 (returned 3/19/24 at ~1:46pm EST): item EIDEFE Women's Round Neck (only one item in order)All 3 items show in the app that they are waiting to be dropped off at the return center, meaning that they were not scanned properly.

      Hello *****,

      I'm Sahitya 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 apologize for the inconvenience that you've experienced in this case.

      Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I can certainly understand why this is distressing.

      Situations such as these are very rare, and are corrected shortly after they are reported. Please be assured that we would definitely work on your feedback and ensure that such issues do not arise in future.

      I've reviewed both the orders and to make things right for you, I've processed refund for all 3 items for which carrier missed return scan.

      Refund of $24.37, $20.60 from Order 5056 and $25.43 for Order 1823 issued to your Visa.

      In most cases, once a refund has been submitted, the issuing bank will post it to your account within 3-5 business days. This time frame may vary from one financial institution to another.

      You can view details of the completed refund on your Amazon.com account:
