Now you know where your refund went and why they marked your order delivered even if it wasn’t delivered.

Blendlife - Scammed product sold by Amazon

Hi everyone,

​Need some advice on how to escalate this, as I am completely stuck in a loop between Amazon and the brand's customer service.

​Purchase Date: March 15, 2026

​Issue: The product suddenly stopped working. I tried troubleshooting using multiple guides online, but nothing worked.

​The Warranty Runaround: The invoice/order details clearly stated to contact the brand for warranty claims. I reached out to the brand, and they arranged a pickup for the defective unit.

​The Current State: Since taking the product, the brand has gone completely unresponsive. When I went back to Amazon for help, their support simply told me they can’t intervene because it’s a brand warranty issue.

​So right now, I have no working product, the brand is ghosting me with my item in their possession, and Amazon refuses to take any accountability for sellers/brands operating on their platform.

​Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What’s the most effective escalation path here—National Consumer Helpline (NCH), filing an INGRAM grievance, or escalating via executive customer support emails?

​(Order ID and details attached in the screenshots below)

Upi/ gpay is not an option anymore

Tried ordering something and realised there is no paying through upi or gpay anymore . Only NetBanking cards and Amazon's own upi which I'm not touching with a ten foot pole.

Kinda sad cuz upis pretty recent and seems to be being phased/ pushed out in the favour of NetBanking.

Even In malls they've asked if you want to do NetBanking instead.

P.s never had the c.o.d option since covid . Luckily haven't had to use Amazon much cuz of zepto / blinkit etc having most of the things I need recently.

Amazon delivering opened box.

I had ordered a vacuum cleaner from Amazon.

I thought the open box delivery meant that the box would be opened in front of us but the box was delivered as is opened.

The delivery guy kept saying it's open box delivery.

What's going on, when did open box delivery started becoming truly open box delivery?

Amazon messed up my refund and I'm still paying the EMI. Please help me

Last month I had ordered a laptop through EMI using my uncle's credit card. The delivery guy just called me once, I couldn't pick up and I called him back withing few mins, but he didn't pick up my call and eventually cancelled my order. Then sent me two separate refunds (67,915 and 149) but the amount debited from the credit card was 68,263.

Since there's a difference the Bank's system didn't consider it as a refund. Now I'm still paying EMI for it, Amazon customer support keeps on insisting me to ask the Bank (Axis Bank) to cancel the EMI, but I can't cancel it because I'll have to pay some penalty charges.

Btw hope you guys know how the No cost EMI thing on Amazon works.

Please help me find a solution for it guys. Amazon customer support says they can't do anything, we're sorry. But at the end of the day I'm the one who's gonna lose money

I can neither cancel the EMI (due to penalty charges) nor I continue the EMI, cause I'll have to pay the intrest too

Amazon marked my ₹35,000 non-returnable electronic item as picked up even though I never handed it over

I ordered an electronic item worth around ₹35,000 from Amazon. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the product and decided to return it.
I created around six return requests in total. During the first four attempts, the delivery/pickup person never came on the scheduled date. I contacted Amazon customer service multiple times, and they told me that they were processing an advance refund and would create another return request.
On the latest return attempt, the pickup person actually came, but I was not at home at that moment. I told him that I was unavailable and asked him to reschedule the pickup for the next day.
However, instead of rescheduling it, he marked the item as “pickup successful”, even though I never handed over the product to him.
Now I’m worried because the order is showing as picked up even though the item is still with me.
What should I do in this situation? Should I contact Amazon immediately and ask them to correct the pickup status, or is there anything else I should do to protect myself?
The item is worth ₹35,000, so I’m concerned about what could happen if Amazon considers it successfully returned even though they never received it.

Stuck with Amazon Balance

A couple of months ago, I purchased a PlayStation Network (PSN) gift card through Amazon. Unfortunately, the gift card turned out to be fraudulent/invalid. After a lengthy back-and-forth with Amazon, I eventually received a refund.

However, the refund was issued as Amazon Pay Balance rather than being returned to my original payment method. I have now found a reputable seller and am trying to purchase a replacement PSN gift card, but I have discovered that my Amazon Pay Balance cannot be used for this purchase.

At no point during the refund process was I informed that the Amazon Pay Balance would come with restrictions that could prevent me from using the refunded money for the same type of product I originally purchased.

This is especially problematic because I am not an Indian resident, so Amazon Pay Balance has very limited practical use for me.

What are my options here? I talked to support via live chat and I’ve been transferred over 10 times. Nobody wants to help me

Amazon delivery guy tricked me out of Rs 1,020 during a phone exchange. Need advice!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a scam that just happened to me during an Amazon phone exchange to see if anyone has faced this, and to warn others.

I ordered a new phone on Amazon, and my old phone's exchange value was confirmed at 15,500.

When the delivery guy arrived, he ran the assessment and showed me a QR code, claiming the value was reduced by 1,020 due to scratches and dents. He asked me to pay the balance amount.

Here is the shady part: he asked for the payment on his personal UPI QR. When I objected, he said it was standard process because he is a 3rd-party vendor. I trusted him, made the payment, and gave him the delivery OTP. Instead of entering the OTP into his app, he just took a screenshot of it and left.

He didn't mark the delivery as complete until 2 hours later. I got suspicious and rechecked the assessment QR link. It clearly showed that the system had actually approved the full promised value of 15,500. The guy totally pocketed the 1,020 difference.

Has anyone successfully gotten their money back from Amazon in a situation like this, especially since the payment was made to a personal UPI? What should my next steps be?

TL;DR: Delivery guy lied about my phone's exchange value dropping by 1,020, made me pay the difference to his personal UPI, and pocketed the cash. System actually approved the full value.

Is my order gonna get cancelled??

It's already been seven days and my order isn't shipped yet and the date says 27 of August. Is it a seller glitch or something? I have contacted Amazon customer service and they said if your order didn't come/shipped in two days it is most probably gonna get cancelled.

Need advice on selling dead stock ~250 brand-new kids' toys in Bangalore

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice from people who have experience selling products online or through marketplaces in India.

My uncle ran a fancy retail store in Bangalore for 15+ years, selling cosmetics, jewelries, bangles, kids' toys, etc. Unfortunately, he recently had to close the store due to health reasons, and my cousins are both working full-time now.

He sold off almost all of the remaining inventory, but he had placed an order for kids' toys around 3 months ago and completely forgot about it. The shipment has now arrived, and we have around 250 pieces of brand-new kids' toys sitting with us.

We're trying to figure out the best way to sell them rather than letting them sit unused.

We're considering selling the entire lot to a wholesaler/distributor selling through marketplaces

He had purchased it for price: Rs.175/- per piece

For anyone who has experience with this: What would be the best platform or method to sell these items? and is there any marketplace specifically suitable for this kind of inventory?

Any suggestions, leads, or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

Shady experience with amazon open box. Decided to delete my account.

So I bought a noise alt clip. I have ear issues so ows fits best.

Anyway..

I'll keep this short.

The delivery person said his job was only to open the brown paper packaging. And not the box of the headphone. I was like wtf..

But I also bought nothing phone 3 earlier this week. Had a much different delivery experience. The delivery person assigned in that case only accepted the OTP after the phone turned on.

I decided this inconsistency is getting too much. Not only I have to pay 40 more for them to just open the brown paper packaging.. i can't even expect proper customer support.

Amazon Flipkart.. everything is taking a nose dive. Sigh.

So on this independence day.. i decided to be free myself from the dependence on online shopping. Already deleted my Flipkart account earlier this year.

Only have blinkit for emergency now. 😂.

is amazon slowly becoming a scam centre?

i recently ordered an item from amazon for ₹4,104. it included ₹5 as a marketplace fee.

the item went out for delivery, but it was never delivered. later they marked it as "customer not reachable". i requested them to try delivery again the next day, but they did not attempt it.

now the order has been cancelled and amazon says the money has been refunded.

except the refund is only ₹4,099.

so they collected ₹4,104 from me, cancelled the order because their delivery failed, and now decided to keep the ₹5 marketplace fee.

₹5 is not the issue here. the issue is the principle. if amazon cancels an order because it could not deliver it, why should the customer lose money?

is this normal amazon policy now or is something seriously wrong with how they are handling refunds?

SleepyCat's 100-night trial isn't the same on their website vs Amazon, almost missed this before ordering

small PSA, coz i assumed the 100-night trial followed the mattress

it doesn't. it follows where you buy it from

if you buy an eligible standard-size mattress directly from the SleepyCat website, you get the 100-night trial subject to their terms

same mattress from Amazon, Flipkart, quick commerce or another marketplace? SleepyCat's website trial doesn't apply

custom sizes are excluded too

the more i looked at Hybrid Latex vs Ultima Natural Latex, the more this actually mattered

Hybrid is properly firm. if you are coming from soft memory foam, the first few nights could feel completely wrong

Ultima is medium-soft. someone who has slept on hard coir for years could have the opposite reaction

SleepyCat asks buyers to give the mattress at least 2 weeks before deciding. i actually like that distinction because "this feels unfamiliar" and "this mattress is wrong for me" are not always the same thing on night 2

for a return the mattress needs to be undamaged and they ask for photos

marketplace discount can still be the smarter deal if you already know the exact model and firmness you want

but if i'm buying a mattress blind, ₹2k or ₹3k extra savings suddenly looks much smaller than having 100 nights to figure out whether my body actually likes it

anyone here actually used the SleepyCat trial, exchanged models, or almost returned one and then changed their mind after 2-3 weeks?

that experience is more useful than another policy screenshot

Amazon Customer Support is pathetic and sad

I ordered a bag from Amazon worth 1500ish and it showed me delivery would be on 24, which is already outrageous as I'm a prime member. Now it postponed to 31st of this month. Didn't get an option for priority shipping during checkout. I ordered some other things like books and they're also arriving weeks late.

When I asked about this they said they'll "take accountability" that it'll reach sooner. And these pathetic SOBs had the audacity to file for "compensation" which was 100rs. I never even asked for that. I asked for faster delivery which I pay yearly for btw.

Really depressing how bad this support has gotten. I used to put this in the same level as Steam support, but now it's useless.
