Order #206-0419486-0972358

The customer requested a return due to personal reasons. We actively followed Amazon’s return process and provided support.

However, the customer did not use the official return channel and instead returned the item directly to our warehouse.

We have received the item, which showed minor signs of use and required only simple cleaning. According to policy, cleaning fees should be charged to the customer.

The customer refused to pay these fees and filed an A-to-Z claim. To maintain customer satisfaction, we proactively offered to cover the cleaning fee and fully refund the customer, while requesting Amazon to close the claim.

Despite multiple appeals and providing full evidence, Amazon did not close the A-to-Z claim and restricted our ability to process the refund.

Ultimately, the claim was approved in the customer’s favor, and our account was negatively impacted with an ODR.

We acted promptly and cooperatively throughout, yet still faced an unfair penalty.

Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team

My account has been suspended, and the reason is that the KYC verification did not pass.

All my information is genuine and reliable, and I have submitted it as required.

I would like to be given another chance for review.

Looking at my account several thousand £ has been given in refunds for products sold up to 18 months ago. When it was released that mineral oil was contained in the ingredients of some Jolly Rancher candy i immediately withdrew the stock units.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, if a product is faulty, you have the right to a full refund within the first 30 days of purchase.

After 30 days:

If the issue is discovered after 30 days, but within the first six months, you are entitled to a repair or replacement, and if that is unsuccessful, a full refund.

Perishable goods:

For perishable goods, the 30-day limit may be shorter and based on how long the item would reasonably be expected to last.

Has anyone else found them in this same position... with perishable items

Honestly, all I ask is they actually read the case notes and look at attachments. Is that really too much to ask?

If anyone with any sort of clout at Amazon happens to be reading this, just spend 10 minutes reading some Support Cases, the replies from Amazon Support Staff are literally pointless.

This is just 1 example, I gave up.

Come on Amazon what is it all about. I have books for sale that aren’t available, yet I can’t list them. You state available from (whatever date 6 months or so away) which keeps moving week by week and in reality it’s never available. Then this is acceptable, I’m sorry but it doesn’t make sense

I want to delete my account but Amazon haven't let me do so. They keep just deactivating it rather than deleting it. Every time i talk to someone i just get and automated response. Is there no way to call someone to resolve this issue?

I get told I have to reactivate the account in order to close it. I did this then they charged my £23 without reason and then they just deactivated it again

It's incredibly frustrating that you can't just talk to someone that can just shut your account down for you. You just keep being moved from team to team and no one wants to actually help you

Hi All

Recent experience with a Customer raises a few questions for me, any advice would be appreciated.

A customer placed two seperate orders recently, 4 days apart. Both orders were shipped the same day, sent on a next day service with Evri and delivered the next day but were left in a 'Safe Place'.

We received a message from the buyer on the delivery day of the first order which said 'Where exactly has this been left please?'. So we sent a polite reply advising where it had been left (which was by the side of a wheelie bin) and attached the delivery image. In response the buyer said ''This parcel has not been received. You have 48 hrs from now to resolve otherwise a chargeback will be raised.'' In reponse, we didn't argue with him in any way, just politely asked him if he could confirm that he had checked the location where it had been left, and that the parcel was not there, in which case it must have been stolen and we would refund him. He didn't respond to that and went straight to an A-Z claim which of course Amazon granted but they didn't count against my metrics.

The scond order, the first we heard was a message from the buyer saying '' Again This POD is not compliant with consumer law. Package has to be handed to me unless I have authorised otherwise. Courier to be sent back to locate it.'' We responded again advising it had been left in the same place and attached the delivery image and could he check and advise. He want straight to an A-Z from there which had the same outcome as above.

They were both low value fortunately, however the biggest problem is that he has now left 1 negative and 1 neutral feedback for these orders saying ''poor customer service, poor attitude. My consumer rights are protected by law and overule your personal policies''. This is the biggest issue for me as it obviously affects my performance metrics badly!

So I am wondering what can I do about this and how can I prevent it in the future? I know I won't be able to have the reviews removed becuase they don't meet the criteria.

He is basically saying that under consumer law, if he hasn't agreed to them being left in a specific 'safe place' then the POD's don't count and so he will ask for his money back. He claims they have to be handed to hm personally under the law (unless he has agreed otherwise).

Due to the nature of the products we sell it maybe that he cannot get out of the house due to mobility issues. However, I'm not aware of ever seeing customers delivery instructions on orders on Amazon, is that a thing? I can't see anywhere that we can block a buyer either so that doesn't seem to be an option. I am concerned that if he keeps ordering and the same keeps hapening we could end up with a whole bunch of a-z's and negative feedbacks, or too many order cancellations if we don't ship them.

Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks

I've never come across this before but I can't use Royal Mail on one of my FBM orders.

I literally shipped the exact same item last night for 87p but when I went onto this one, a minute later, Royal Mail is greyed out and I can only use Evri.

I've opened a case via SS (11238764102) - was told to use Evri but that method is 3 times more expensive and leaves me out of pocket.

Anyone have any clues - tempted to take a hit on my VTR and use a stamp.

It's to Devon and it's a ship by today - delivery up until 1st of July (the exact same stats as other orders the same).

I'm at a loss as I've tried everything - SS aren't helping (no surprises there).

We're forced to use 'Buy Shipping' but this appears to be a glitch that will leave me with either a hit on my metrics or being out of pocket

Hi,

Amazon lost several units during FBA receiving. I was reimbursed, but the amount was significantly below my cost, even though I submitted a valid supplier invoice showing the actual unit price.

I submitted a re-evaluation request with the invoice, but it was instantly rejected—seemingly by an automated system. I’ve since contacted support again asking for a manual review, but the appeal was denied without further explanation.

Can a moderator please assist or escalate this for a human review? This has a real financial impact and I’ve provided all the necessary documentation.

Thank you in advance!

Stuart
