Hi,
I’d like to raise an issue regarding two A-to-Z Guarantee claims that I believe were unfairly decided against us, despite the situation being caused entirely by a buyer-side error.
Here’s what happened:
• The buyer placed two separate orders for the same item, with two different delivery addresses:
• Order ID: 206-3842188-6090752 – Sutton, SM1 1HN
• Order ID: 206-0363853-6009903 – London, N1 9DJ
• Upon noticing the duplication, we immediately contacted the buyer to confirm which order should be fulfilled. The buyer replied under the first order thread and clearly stated:
“I ordered only 1, if I did any mistake when I ordered sorry I need only 1 please.”
• Based on this, we expected the buyer to cancel one of the orders. For 206-0363853-6009903, we delayed shipping while waiting for their confirmation. However, the buyer didn’t cancel the order, and to avoid prolonged delay and service issues, we eventually shipped the item to the London address.
• Later, the buyer filed A-to-Z claims for both orders, and both were granted – leading to two ODR impacts, even though:
1. One order was cancelled due to their explicit request.
2. The second order was delayed only because we were waiting for cancellation confirmation, not due to negligence or poor performance.
We have submitted appeals with the full context and buyer messages, but both claims remain on our record.
We are extremely disappointed, as we acted in good faith and followed policy while trying to prevent duplicate shipments and unnecessary refunds.
I kindly ask the moderation team to review this case and assist in removing the ODRs linked to these claims. This situation was beyond our control, and we believe it sets an unfair precedent for similar future cases.
I am happy to share supporting screenshots and message logs via private message if needed.
Thank you very much in advance for your support and guidance.
