Amazon Ownership of digital content

I am writing to the Complaints board because I have tried to resolve the loss of my digital content regarding a past Amazon account that was mistakenly closed. I would like to either reopen that account or retrieve the digital property that I purchased (from Audible, Amazon Prime, Amazon Music along with my search history from that account and transfer it to my new account.

I originally opened my Amazon account in 2009. From 2009-2012 I used the email [protected]@yahoo.com (an order from that time is #[protected]). My Audible account was also opened at that time. My audible account number was A28HKN4CVA7

From 2012-2014 I had the same Amazon and Audible account but used the email address [protected]@yahoo.com

Beginning in 2014-May 30, 2021, I had the same Amazon and Audible account but used the email address
[protected]@gmail.com

Over the years, in this same account, I added Amazon Prime, Amazon Music, Amazon Prime, and Prime Video

On or about January 11, 2021, through my Amazon account, I requested that my account be closed; however, on or about Jan. 22, 2021, I was sent an email from Amazon asking if I really wanted to close my account and that if I gave them a payment, my account would not be canceled. I replied that I would like to keep my account open and gave my credit card number. On Jan. 22, 2021, my bank account was charged $128.52 for a year of Amazon Prime.

From Jan. 22, 2021-Sunday May 30, 2021, my Amazon Prime account was up and running; everything was fine.

On Sunday, May 30, I used my Amazon Prime to purchase order #[protected].

On Monday, May 31, 2021, at 1:30 am I received an email from Amazon Prime stating that my Amazon Prime
membership had been canceled at my request.

Beginning on June 1, 2021, I made several phone calls to Amazon and Audible requesting that my account be restored. I was always told that they could not help me but would push my request to the department that could help. à I also
opened a new Amazon Prime Account using the email address [protected]@gmail.com/[protected]

June 15, 2021 - I received an email from Audible (case ID [protected]) telling me my request had been sent to an account specialist - On June 21, I was told that Audible could not upload the audiobooks that I purchased (since 2009) until my Amazon account was reopened. I then called Amazon Prime who again told me they could not help but that they
could still see the information from my canceled account and would send my request to an account specialist and would call back with 5 days - I never received a callback.

On June 29, 2021, I again, called Amazon and spoke to Christian M. He was incredible. He worked hard to help me but was not able to do so. He submitted a form to the team trained to handle my scenario and promised to contact me by July 5, 2021.

On July 1, 2021, I received an email from Mark with Amazon's Executive team. He told me he was able to find a request to cancel my account from me on May 30, 2021. (I did not make this request). He gave me a $100 Amazon gift card as a gesture of "good will".

July 1, 2021, after receiving the email, I called Amazon again explaining that while a appreciated the $100 gift card, I have spent well over $100 on digital content, that I did not request my account be closed on May 30, 2021, and I would very much like my previous account to be reinstated or have the digital content, that I purchased, transferred to my current Amazon Prime account.

On July 5, 2021, I again called Amazon Prime and spoke to Joel S. with the same request and was told he would forward my concern about my digital contents to the correct team, and I would hear back in 3-5 days. à I did not receive a callback.

Because I did not receive a callback, I called Amazon on July 20, 2021, and asked for a supervisor; the supervisor wanted to send in another ticket but told her I would rather wait on the phone until it was settled since I had not received phone calls in the past. I was put on hold. Katty from th3e Leadership team worked with me and was very kind and helpful. I explained that I understood that my account was canceled, I do not believe I requested that cancellation, but regardless of how/why the account was canceled, the digital purchases were still paid for in full and that I wanted the digital content purchased I was disconnected 3 times during this communication. Amazon was very kind and called me back twice. I called back after the 3rd disconnection and was told that my recovery request was sent to the recovery division.

I received two emails on July 20, 2021. The 1st email was from Katty of the leadership team at 4:03- Katty relayed my information to the team in charge of account recovery. The 2nd email was from Roshumnda of Amazon's Tech Support Executive Customer Relations team. - in that email, I was told that because they believed there was a verification of a request to cancel and therefore, I could not have the data associated with that account. I was then told that any further inquiries on this matter would not receive a response.

It is my belief that my previous Amazon Prime account, opened in 2009 was closed by mistake. Additionally, it is my belief, that the digital content purchased (i.e., Audiobooks, music, tv shows, and movies) by me remains my property regardless of the status of that account.

I am respectfully asking, as a longtime customer, and purchaser of much digital content, that my previous account be reinstated, or that the digital property/content I purchased from Audible, Amazon Prime, Amazon Music, along with my search history from that account, be transferred to my new account.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you and having my digital content returned. I have copies of the emails and of the bank transaction that occurred in January of 2021 if you need that documentation.

Sincerely,
Lora Lane

Desired outcome: To have my purchased digital content returned

Amazon Amazon shipping is lousy

I ordered a Dell E6420 laptop but it was a faulty refurb unit that shuts off without notice, losing my work. I sent it back to Amazon Aug 1st, 2021 and was promised a quick replacement by Aug 9th. Today, instead of getting delivery, they emailed a delayed shipment notice stating the unit will ship out Aug 19-23. In all, If I'm lucky, I might get it after nearly 23 days. Worst yet, Amazon has no customer service number to call. They offer an automated response that doesn't answer your questions or give explanations as to what happened. This not the first time I've had trouble with their delayed shipping.

Desired outcome: Amazon should be more efficient with shipping

Amazon Property damage by driver

On August 2 we received an Amazon package. When the driver left our driveway, he ran over and damaged our stone border and did not even acknowledge his mistake. This is the third time this has happened. John went out into the driveway, then road to stop the driver but was unsuccessful. The driveway is not small and can be navigated easily, there is plenty of room.

Desired outcome: Amazon to be responsible for repairs and/or make sure their drivers do not allow this to happen again.

Amazon Logging into my account

When I went to log into my account today [protected]) the site said I had to change my password. Amazon sent me a 6 digit code to enter. I did this and then the site said for security it would send me another code to a cell phone number I have not used for almost 2 years. Cannot change the cell phone listed because I cannot log in. Two calls to customer service and both said to open new account. Tried that and the site said I had to create a new email address. That is not going to happen. Called customer service a 3rd time and they said there was nothing they could do to help me. I just needed to create a new email address and then open a new account. I would lose all my purchase and searching history doing this. This whole day has been wasted with trying to log on to amazon and spend my hard earned $ with them. I am angry and very unhappy. I will never create a new email account I would not use just to log onto amazon. I would rather never return and never spend another dime with amazon.

Desired outcome: Being able to log onto my account.

After years of using Amazon, somehow a 2-step security got added to my login indicating a text with a link to approve login was being sent to my cell phone. Well, not always & definitely not anytime soon. I've waited sometimes HOURS before getting a text if I get one at all. Today, I've tried to login in a couple of time & no text with the link ever came. I was on with customer service (first level & then passed on to the 'expert who can help me') but there was no help from either after trying everything they recommended.

I'm REALLY tired of having to put up with this the last month so I'll be doing my online shopping elsewhere.

Amazon Friskies Wet Cat Food 24 pk case

[protected] Order number, order placed July 31, 21. I received it on August 3. There were two separate boxes, one had the proper packaging material in it with the product. The case of Friskies wet cat food was in a box by itself. No packaging material at all. The case busted open, almost all of the cans were damaged. I had to keep them, I feed 15 cats a day, four of my own, 8 outside strays & cats that have been trapped, spayed or neutered & returned. There is also a feral colony of 3 I go feed behind a couple fast food restaurants everyday. I couldn't send it back. But they came from the same facility in Lexington, Ky.

Amazon Shipping is always later then expected!

Prime membership is a joke when it comes to shipping. I have never received my items on time. Sometimes its many days after the promised time. How am I resolving this matter? By never purchasing from you in the future.

Amazon Unknown charges.

I had four charges to my bank card over the last few months.
Three charges for $14.26 and one charge for $14.39.
I do not have Amazon Prime and I do not want Amazon Prime.
Please help me so I do not get anymore charges. When I created an account just so I can cancel it, I was told I do not have an account.
Can someone please help me once and for all. I do not want credit or anything. I just want someone to help me getting charged again.
I do not want to have to change my bank card again.
Thank you.

Desired outcome: Stop the charges

Amazon Acer chromebook

Acer Chromebook 14 Zoll (CB314-1H-C7PS) (ChromeOS, Laptop, FHD Display, Akkulaufzeit: Bis zu 12, 5 Stunden, 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM / 64 GB eMMC, 1, 5 Kg leicht
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
Order No [protected]
About 10 days ago I ordered this Chromebook from amazon.de/English instead of from amazon.co.uk primarily to avoid the likelihood of imposition of VAT, now that GB has left the EU. I received it promptly only to discover (i) the Y and Z keys were juxti positioned, and (ii) the on-line keyboard was in German! I complained and returned it 3 days ago, as instructed, but despite 2 emails in the meantime I haven't even got the courtesy of a reply about the latest and when I can expect the originally-ordered chromebook !

Amazon Online Orders

I am not expecting much at all, but I can't be silent anymore about this. Amazon has this "bait and switch" tactic of telling me that if I order within X hours, I will get my product by X date. When I order, the confirmation email shows a different date. What's worse is that there is a 50/50 chance that the delivery date in the email will be correct. The latest issue I've had is an order of two pairs of Amazon Essential pants that were marked as Prime 2-Day. The website said they would be delivered by the 31st if I ordered in the next 3 hours and whatever minutes. The 31st came and went and they hadn't even shipped, but now the website pretended it never gave me that date, and instead told me the 4th. On the 2nd, they told me my pants had shipped. Today, the 4th, they are supposed to be delivered by 9PM (in two minutes from now). I checked the tracking info and UPS states they will update delivery estimates when they receive the package. So it did not ship out on the 2nd, and the date was changed. Now they are telling me to wait until the 8th and the reps are ending the chat when I am asking for a refund. And I pay monthly for Amazon Prime for this privilege of late packages! Like I said, I don't expect anything to change, but I will be trying other online retailers for most of my orders. I hope this serves as a warning to other shoppers. I will be taking screen shots of all orders before I place them to document this, not sure what else to do about Amazon's terrible business practices.

Desired outcome: Stop lying to customers.

Amazon Copyright Infringement Service

I regularly file DMCA notifications on behalf of clients using the specified DMCA format which Amazon are obliged to accept (and which the Amazon website confirms is acceptable). On almost every occasion the submission is rejected for spurious reasons including:
1. Not submitted on the online form - which is not mandatory
2. Mixing trademark and copyright infringement in the same notification reports - even when the report only contains one or the other.

The most recent examples are:

I will be lodging complaints with the US Copyright Office over Amazon's failure to abide with the DMCA if this complaint is not resolved and my notifications are not progressed swiftly.

Amazon Incompetent clerks

I bought a pair of shoes on July 23. The item was paid for in part by an Amazon gift card, Amex rewards points, and an Amex charge. Amazon was unable to deliver the item and so made all the necessary refunds.

On August 3, I attempted to buy another pair of shoes, but was not offered an opportunity to use my Amex rewards points. I contacted Amazon to learn why and was transferred from one clerk to another for 45 minutes. None of the five clerks to whom I was transferred could answer my questions. I cancelled the order for the shoes and will not place another order with Amazon due to the incompetence of your customer service employees, none of whom could answer my question about why I was not offered an opportunity to use my rebated rewards points. The entire experience made shopping at Amazon a headache. Why bother?

Desired outcome: Disaster.

Amazon Unfair customer treatment

Amazon accounts have closed my account for allegedly it being linked to another account that has violated their terms and conditions. I have explained by email that I know absolutely nothing about this and they are refusing to speak to me with the details only to correspond by email telling me they have reviewed it and stand by their decision. I have explained that it would seem that my account has been hacked in some way or form and to try and resolve it. On 21st July 2021 Amazon have taken £222 from my bank account and will not explain what it is for. I would like someone from amazon to phone me directly on [protected] and explain in detail what the problem is and to hear my complaint. I have spent a substantial amount of money with amazon over a number of years and the way I have been treat is deplorable.

About Amazon

Screenshot Amazon
Amazon is a multinational technology company that is based in Seattle, Washington. It is one of the largest online retailers in the world, offering a wide range of products and services to customers across the globe. The company was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, and it has since grown to become a household name, with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion.

Amazon's success can be attributed to its innovative business model, which has disrupted traditional retail markets. The company's online platform allows customers to browse and purchase products from a vast selection of categories, including electronics, books, clothing, and household items. Amazon also offers a range of services, such as Amazon Prime, which provides customers with free shipping, access to streaming services, and other benefits.

In addition to its retail operations, Amazon has also expanded into other areas of technology, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform that provides businesses with a range of services, including storage, computing power, and analytics. AWS is one of the largest cloud computing providers in the world, with a market share of over 30%.

Amazon's success has not been without controversy, however. The company has faced criticism over its treatment of workers, with reports of poor working conditions and low wages. Amazon has also been accused of anti-competitive practices, with some critics arguing that the company's dominance in the retail market gives it an unfair advantage over smaller competitors.

Despite these challenges, Amazon continues to be a major player in the technology industry, with a strong focus on innovation and customer satisfaction. The company's commitment to providing high-quality products and services has helped it to maintain its position as one of the most valuable companies in the world.
