Actually I've had 1 unpleasant experience out of 3 so far. I wanted to buy an item at a lower cost(because it was a lot cheaper on other sites) and asked an exec about the same. He could've said something like "Just monitor the prices, they might come down" and I would've done it, instead he said "I'll personally keep a tab on the prices for you and will intimate you in case the price falls to your expectations". While it definitely looked like a false promise, I assumed from all the online reviews that he actually would follow up. But what alerted me was a BuyHatke monitor when the prices fell down. The prices stayed low for two days and I waited to see if the customer exec would really follow-through, but he didn't.

There was no real loss to me, but it was just an unpleasant experience. I am pretty sure that wouldn't happen if it was a refund/return.

Some CS reps might not actually do whatever is promised, and that's a cause of frustration on top of the customer loosing trust in Amazon, which is not acceptable at all.

You should consider writing to them [email protected], and if you know the name of customer associate that interacted you with, the better. You could also, alternatively, utilize Amazon's chat-based customer service, as you can actually "keep a record" of things they said and things you said. If what was promised isn't delivered, you can sure make enough noise by directing the query to [email protected], and/or jeff@ and amit@
