The buyer asserts that they did not receive their item, despite it being marked as delivered.
This is unusual. I use ShipStation for shipping software. I received a message from a buyer claiming their package is lost and requesting a refund. When I checked, it showed the package as delivered. I took a screenshot and sent it to the buyer. Why do people do this? I could understand if it had been a week or more.

Tracking is not proof of delivery.
If you used Amazon buy-shipping and fit all the criteria for INR protection, the buyer needs to file a claim.

Hello @Seller_5DrrKeHsDwIGT
Christine here from Amazon Forums.
Unfortunately, what you're describing is a well-known issue in our seller community. First of all, you've handled this exactly right by verifying the tracking and providing evidence to the buyer. 👍
Here's what we recommend to our sellers:
- Always keep detailed tracking records
- Screenshot delivery confirmations
- Use signature confirmation for high-value items
- Report suspicious patterns through official channels
- Maintain professional communication
Remember, If you use Amazon Buy Shipping, you're protected under Amazon's Seller Protection Policy when you:
- Ship with tracked delivery
- Upload valid tracking information
- Ship to the address provided in the order details
If you're seeing a pattern of these claims from multiple buyers, please use the "Report Abuse" function, so our teams can investigate.
Keep doing what you're doing - verify, document, and maintain professionalism. Don't let these situations discourage you from being a great seller!
