      I placed an order on Amazon at 8:21pm and when I reviewed the order I realized they were charging me shipping. So I requested cancellation at 8:30pm. This is 9 minutes later. Amazon told me the order was to far along the process to be cancelled. The order isnt scheduled to arrive for 4 business days.

      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 am sorry to hear of the unexpected charge and have reviewed the Order ID: 113-5990315-5471469 in detail. 

      The mode of shipping chosen is Standard Shipping, I see that you are not signed up for Prime. Without Prime, you could opt for Free Shipping, rather than the Standard or Two-day or One-Day shipping which are charged. The shipping charge is correct, and we are not able to cancel the order as the items are in advanced stages of shipping. We will also not be able to make any adjustments to the charge at this point in time. 

      You could, of course, refuse delivery of the shipment and return the items for a full refund. 

      I hope this helps with the issue. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to bbb@amazon.com if we can be of further assistance in this matter. 

      Regards, 
      Raman R.

      I am rejecting this response because: let us be realistic. No one is going to tell me that in nine minutes or less that this purchase was too far along in the system to cancel. That is a straight lie. As far as this intellectual genius telling me that I can refuse delivery, how exactly would I go about refusing delivery? Should I take a day off work so I can be home all day waiting for Amazon to deliver my package? And hope that it is not somehow delayed.

      Sincerely,

      I bought a corded phone from Amazon on November 20th and got One-Day shipping. The next day I checked the tracking the next day, and it said the corded phone is not coming until November 22nd. I called Amazon so see what is going on with that, and they said that the customer requested to reschedule the delivery. I checked with my household and no one asked to reschedule the delivery.

      I have had upwards of 15 interactions with Amazon over a missing refund. I mailed a large return back to Amazon using their provided label two weeks ago. The package seemed to be lost in the mail so I contacted Amazon. I was told to contact again on 11/18 to get a refund if the package was still stuck. I did just that. Since then, I have been met with incredible incompetence and still have yet to receive a full refund. 1. I reached out and was told I'd have a refund within 2-3 of the entire return and that I would be getting a confirmation. After not receiving the confirmation, I reached back out in the same forum and was told that they could not help. I had to wait for a "specialist" to contact me.2. The specialist emails me and I answer all questions. I'm told they don't have record of my return so I send them the Amazon supplied packing list and return label. This happened several times in a row. Their "specialists" continued to reply with copy/pasted messages and clearly never read my email or opened the return label. This happened about 7 times in a row 3. I was then issued a refund of 1/5th of what the order was for.4. I replied again to let them know the amount was incorrect. They replied with a copy/pasted refund confirmation that I told them was incorrect. 5. Each of my replies, they reply with copy/pasted questions that I had already answered over and over. And with information they could find if they read the emails at all.I am still waiting on my proper refund. They continue to respond with incorrect information and are clearly not reading. I have never dealt with such incompetence in my life. All I want is my refund that I was already promised.

      Hello Amazon, Yesterday I placed the order and my account got on hold. I have submitted information today 3 times and spoken to agents for over 6 hours without any resolutions. Amazon is asking me to verify back to back 2 different cards (see pic 1) after I upload the billing statement, card info, and notes. I get an email that the account can not be verified (see pic 2). Customer service reps gave me a ran around, account specialist team asked me to verify 2 cards at the same time. I need my amazon account unlocked so I can do my business. I am sorry for the open BBB case, but I am not sure what else can I do here. Thank you, ********* ********

      I was wrongfully banned by an automated ban appeal. I was banned in New World for no reason as I did nopthing wrong. I was scammed out of the product I paid money for. I have never cheated in any video game and I am emotionally distressed at the fact that I would ever be accused of this. I demand that my account be reinstated as this is an absolute atrocity. My ingame character name is Swolepatches on the server Pluto. It has been proven that they use an automated ban system and do not actually take the time to review their appeals. I cannot put my trust in a company that wont take the time to adhere to their customers. PLease fix this

The funds in the account will not be disbursed to the seller.

      Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.
