Hi Ken, your assistance requested with the recurring issue of A-to-Z claims being granted incorrectly and contrary to Amazon policy and then appeals repeatedly rejected
Order 250-0456256-1270226 - Customer submitted a return request for ordered by mistake and 5 hours later an A-to-Z claim, we asked the customer to confirm that the product packaging was intact and no seals broken - the product was a computer processor - the customer advised that the seal had been broken as they had "inspected" the product. We advised that as per the Amazon Returns policy which states that products must be returned in their original condition and with seals unbroken the order was therefore not eligible for return and closed the returns request accordingly.
Amazon granted the A-to-Z claim and refunded the customer and have rejected multiple appeals with their standard copy and paste "Although we understand your position, we stand by our decision. "
Order 249-1500664-3447067
The customer requested a return request which was accepted and allegedly attempted to return the order multiple times but had it returned to them by Australia Post as undeliverable - which is a little odd - and then submitted an A-to-Z claim which was granted.
They then messaged us to say they had changed their mind and wished to keep the product and pay for it so we advised them to withdraw the A-to-Z claim which they say they have done and also cancelled the refund to them.
The A-to-Z claim has not been reversed and repeated appeals are denied with the standard "We have reviewed the buyer’s claim and the information you provided for order 249-1500664-3447067.
Although we understand your position, we stand by our decision. "
It is quite clear nothing has been reviewed
The number of times this happens is unacceptable and we will no longer standby, regardless of the order value, and allow these invalid claims and/or responses to continue.
Both these cases as well as the more general of every single appeal being met with "Although we understand your position, we stand by our decision. " regardless of Amazon Policy or the facts of the appeal. Not only does this incorrectly impact our account health, over the last few years we have lost thousands of dollars due to this and enough is enough
