Hi

I would like to seek further advice on our situation.
To summarise husband ordered a Iphone from Amazon. The box came empty. We contacted Amazon who wouldn't do anything and insisted we file a police report (which under UK consumer law is unnecessary)
We contacted husband card provider, American Express who refunded the money straightaway.
I also emailed the specialist team at Amazon CCd Jeff Besoz and Andy detailing what happened with dates. Response was we'll get back to you.
So to today, husband received a notification from AMEX that Amazon provided "evidence" that the item was delivered and wanted the money. And by Evidence I mean an invoice and i think receipt of delivery. Disappointingly Amex gave the money back.
We've just been on the phone to them, they asking us to take it up with the authorities and that Amazon provided evidence and we can't. I advised we did have photos and video evidence of opening the box to find it empty. I also informed them under UK consumer the burden is not on the consumer but the merchant. We paid for an item we did not receive and therfore entitled to full refund or replacement.
Amex have advised the only thing we can do is upload a doct to their dispute page detailing everything thats happened with dates and make sure to point we have video evidence and then with that they can maybe go back to Amazon and start another dispute.
I feel like we're going to go back and forth. Is there anything further we can do or contact?
I want to email Amazon back and ask why we haven't received a response and should we take this further to the ombudsman? The value of the phone was £700
Thank you
