Fence Breach on Order #113-876****-0289817

Conversation opened. 1 read message. Order# 113-876****-0289817 Hello, After the arrival of the above captioned order, I contacted Amazon as your driver jumped my closed gate and trespassed onto my property. I am unable to respond to the emails I received from Amazon regarding this matter and I am reaching out to your Customer Service department. I will "Paste" the correspondence onto this email. This is a follow up to the incident that transpired on March 30, 2023 @ 4:10pm when your driver jumped our fence to deliver Order #113-876****-0289817. I notified Amazon that this situation occurred and was contacted by Samuel, Logistics Customer Service, Sreenath M, Executive Customer Relations and Ganesh J., Executive Customer Relations. At that time I told him my new rescue dog was very agitated while this breach of my property was happening. Subsequently, during the time your driver was making his way to my front door, my Blue Heeler injured her left rear leg. She was not injured before this incident but after, had a definitive limp and would not put her left leg down. We took her to the doctor on April 7th and it was determined that she blew out her ACL and required surgery. Attached is the bill for $2,668.76 for the services provided by Dr. Brice Smith at Mile High Animal Hospital to repair our dogs leg due to your driver's negligence in breaching our property and closed gate. It has been a long and arduous process with the surgery, recovery and rehab of our family pet. As your managers stated in our telephone conversations, this should have never happened and he should not have trespassed on our property, plain and simple. All we tried to do is obtain a product from you which should have been left at our gate, as in the past, and not having someone jump our fence and creating this situation that has taken a toll on our household.

An Amazon customer for 7yrs & prime member for 2yrs. 2021 Account was hacked 3 times. On the 3rd time Amazon locked my account. It wasn't unlocked until 2022. 2022 I changed all personal info on account as safety measure. Email, phone number, username etc. This seemed to work. No problems until the last cpl Mos. 2023 I am disabled and wheelchair bound, so online shopping is a must for me. I have nieces and nephews. A set of twins and set of triplets. All teenagers and difficult to buy for so gift cards are my go to and their preference. A cpl Mos. ago, the twins had a Birthday. When I ordered their e gift cards Amazon locked my account for "suspicious" activity. I called. They unlocked account. I ordered same exact order again. Within 5 mins received a call from Amazon asking if it was me placing this order. I confirmed and all was well. A few was ago, the twins graduated high school, triplets graduated middle school. I didn't have money until 2 days ago on the 1st (disability) I placed order for 5 e gift cards. 20 mins later received email saying my account was locked bc of suspicious activity. I call customer care AGAIN and explained the situation. They unlocked my account. This time I got the order ready but didn't place it. Instead I called back and made representative remain on the phone while completing my order. It said same as always, processing order. ANOTHER email. Locked again. Call back and this time they say, no account associated with my email OR phone number. They ask if I have any order numbers from previous orders. We'll yes I do. Months worth. Give an order number and they find it but account closed. She tells me to open another account. Says no need to create a new email since mine has no account associated with it. I do so, even paying $14.99 + tax for new prime membership.Next email says account deleted bc it has been linked with another account they had deleted. Never create another Amazon account bc it will be deleted. Randomly checked my mobile banking app and sure enough there's a $16.19 Amazon charge. Call AGAIN demanding refund as within half hr of paying for it, my account was deleted and banned for life. 1st rep says he doesn't have ability or authority to refund it as my account is on HOLD. I demand a supervisor. She says same thing. I explain the last email that says deleted and banned. She apologized and repeated her little spiel about how no refund can be given while account is on hold. Idk if account is on hold, deleted or what. Meanwhile my nieces and nephews are waiting not so patiently for what I promised and said was on the way 5 times. At this point, Amazon can keep the damn lock, deletion and bann in place. Now, I just want this billion dollar company to give my measly $16.19 back as I live far below the USA poverty line and certainly need it.

Other than those lame transactions, it's easy to spot someone with a banal life. As an FYI, no one cares about who you were buying for or your family structure.

With that said, if you want your money back, file a dispute with the bank. Afterwards, you should really try to find out why you keep getting "hacked." Probably someone you know.

Unwilling and exploitative

Amazon - Unwilling and exploitative
Original review Dec 22, 2022
I had 3-4 hours of my time wasted by the most unhelpful, incompetent, unwilling, rude, and downright unsavory Amazon associates over the most simple issue I couldve come to any company with. Out and about online, I saw on a few websites giving tips on holiday savings that if you signed up for the save and subscribe feature (among one or two other very meets or conditions), saying that you would receive 15% of the purchase these said items were applied to. So, the entire purchase. Seeing as I had an almost $400 cart, a roughly $60 discount was very welcome and I happily obliged. After making sure I was was qualified, I went to checkout, only to see the discount hadnt been applied. Thinking I messed up, I looked my order up and down a few times, and then went to the customer support chat when I couldnt find anything wrong. I was engaged by somebody for a few minutes, spent some time trying to explain my situation, which I was very clear about, and then ghosted. Another employee would take the ghosts place, erasing any progress I made in the previous chat and making me start over. After having this happen multiple times, I just decided to call instead. What ensued was the most frustrating chain of calls I had ever been in. I thought my tongue was becoming formed to the words of the 3 sentences I repeated for more than one phone call. I defeatedly kept citing what the promotion I shouldnt have to be explaining to any Amazon employee or literate person said and entailed. The language barrier was a bit harder to permeate than expected, so I understood the slow movement there. At first, anyways. After a while, it became apparent that them not understanding my accent and me not understanding theirs was not the only contributor to the nonexistent progress I had spent so much time making. I eventually told the employee (not the first one I was on the phone with) after, over half an hour, possibly over an hour even, to please just transfer me to her boss, wanting to just lay my case to rest and get the goddarn 15% that I wouldve given up on long ago had I know everyone would be this useless. The manager/supervisor is the most unpleasant and unaware one I didnt know existed until now. After doing the by now, though just choreographed by me that night, very familiar dance; giving her the 10-20 minute intro and handholding session (not that any part took that long, just that it took that long to make any information stick or move her along), I finally got her to check my cart. To put me on hold more times than I could count, just so she could return with absolutely nothing. I should add this segment she was granted the same initial patience Id given everyone so far. She told me that the policy had been misquoted. That the discount only applied to the subscribe and save items, and not the entire purchase. HOURS LATER. I had asked my first question 3-4 HOURS ago. Somehow, between an entire chain of employees, some willing, some unwilling, all completely and thoroughly incompetent, a simple promotion couldnt be communicated to me. Had this been told to me in the first 15 minutes, I would have understood and left. Well, this in addition to the promotion being totally honest and straightforward, but it was deceitful. Very intentionally misleading, it purposely doesnt specify what the discount is applied to (not even in a completely separate informational page detailing the text further), and worded in way that would logically lead anyone to assume this meant a 15% base discount. Several websites had also confirmed this to be true, and with the subscribe and save only saving you around 5% on relatively cheap items, with the discount usually amounting to less than a dollar, a 15% discount off of a $5-$6 item isnt at all enticing, and wouldnt be assumed to be the focus. If it had been adequately outlined, nobody would be interested in this deal, which is why Amazon has to trick any participants through this. Not only THOSE, but most majorly, through my phone calls, I had been just agreed with; told it was weird I wasnt receiving my 15% overall discount even after adhering to the terms, and being given a handbooks worth of useless, stupid, going nowhere instructions and suggestions. Through multiple employees. (Only one was willing and patient, though just as ineffectual. I bear no ill will towards her; I just wish I had been connected to somebody else.) They didnt even know the policy. The people whose literal JOB it is to be informed and/or be able to use their resources to get the customer to someone who can say the right things or be even remotely helpful. Having long lost track of my patience by this time (I think I left it around the 1 hour mark? Maybe 2 hour mark? Somewhere along the part of the timeline where it is preposterous to not have answered the simplest clarification questions), I told her she needed to honor what I had been told, to at least make up for my wasted time, which was taken away by a team effort of unwillingness and inability to which she claimed leadership and (unholy amounts of) contribution, and hold her company and employees accountable. She refused. She *** refused. Rude even before this, constantly cutting me off, regurgitating information Id already read or heard, she became somehow even more unpleasant. She also refused to let me speak to somebody who actually could resolve my now saga of an issue, claiming she didnt have a boss; she was the highest authority. Im calling bs, there is no way somebody with such poor social skill and inability in regards to their supposed expertise would have made it to the top somewhere as competitive as Amazon. She (I never got a name, and looking back, given how she handled my case, Im positive she knows she treats customers horribly and does not give anything they could trace her back with) then hung up on me. 4 hours of my life just gone, and not even to get a discount I shouldnt have had to waste any of my time receiving. I am empty handed, even though I had hung on as long as I did so largely on principle; I am pissed I was strung along for so long and treated so poorly for having a question. I dont know what to do now. I am so angry, it felt like she enjoyed hearing me get frustrated and beg her to just help me because it was almost 4 in the morning and I just wanted to figure out whats been dragged out for hours so I could please sleep. My already nasty and worn thin experience was further flattened by her, and I cannot imagine how many other inquirers as unlucky and unhelped as me there must be fuming at this exact same problem. I just want to get what I was promised, and for serious evaluation and moderation to be done to the staffing there; why tf should I have to go through the worst people and time wasters just to pay the same amount as everyone else who didnt get afflicted with them? Somebody please help, I dont know where to go from here but I am so upset and cant just let it go like this. I will appreciate any help

Pros:
  • Product versatility and selection
  • Omnipresent
Cons:
  • If you have difficulty w indian accents phone calls are futile
  • So big incidents often get swept under the rug
  • Unpleasant staff

Preferred solution: Apology Price reduction, given how much time was wasted and my experience, a much steeper one than the one originally promised and never carried out.

User's recommendation: Amazons unavoidable, I just had a *** experience that I’m still hoping for resolution to. Watch out for these and if it happens to you don’t be afraid to speak up; you’ll evebtually reach someone

I have experience and I am in the process of trying to get Amazon and their customer service to understand that they have been charging me interest on things. I was not supposed to be charge for due to the promotion when I signed up for my card they buy so not refund in my account now twice adding up to us $200 and that’s just that I know of.

I’ve been double charged on numerous items over and over and over again. I don’t know who I need to talk to at this point but every time I call customer service it just doesn’t really go anywhere. I actually really like the business behind the card that distributes AmazonStoreCard synchrony bank. I have four other cards of theirs, and I’ve never had a problem with one of them .

Nor have I ever been charged interest on any of them because they go by the promotions that they outline at the beginning when you purchase your item and they stick to it. I was spending thousands for a new apartment and all of it was from Amazon since I’ve noticed these issues and nothings been done about it.

I have stopped shopping with Amazon as much as possible. Which is a shame because I really used to love it.

#2366067

"I shouldnt have to be explaining to any Amazon employee ' Probably because you WERE NOT speaking to someone from Amazon. You were being scammed and are too stupid to thank the stars that they didn't get your financial information.

These scams typically work on the ignorant and silly. Or in other words, fools like you. Again, you were lucky....

All of that off of a “probably”? I wasn’t dealing with a scammer, there was no attempt at phishing financial information, and I know my experience.

I promise, this angle does not do anything to me. You are not original or anything, much less upsetting.

You at most resemble an inconvenience and do not contribute anything worthwhile. Do everyone a favor and get lost

#2356146

Amazons customer service is horrible, they keep you on hold for hours and then they don’t answer your questions and pass you off to another person. Talking to someone in the Phillipines whose accent is so thick that you can’t understand what they’re saying.

If you want my opinion all they want you to do is hang up and give up. I’m done trying to get problems resolved. …. I will just return it or cancel payment.

No actual US based help. Shop locally !!!!!

#2355679

I'm very happy with the outcome of the Amazon. Prime

That post reads longer than the U.S. Tax Code.

Do not respond to comments if you're going to be rude. You are a jerk and need to learn manners.

The same thing happened to me. I bought a gift card, they immediately shut my account down and for 5 days they had me verifying my account. For the next 7 weeks I heard the same story, I'll get a refund...they never sent the card.
