Cheap find on griots Pfm drying towel

Becareful about disputes, Amazon dicked with me pretty hard about my money because they now accept "left at front door" (and their variation) as delivered, and they are going lengths to not do anything about it.

When I disputed with my card company, they told them I never filed a claim with them. HA. I did, 3 times, they told me to wait, twice, and on the third time they told me to go call the police (my job, but should have told me to do so on the first or second attempt to claim), and open a claim with the carrier (their job).

Then they can`t tell the difference between their rear-end and their elbow because one guy told me they refunded me and another told me tough ````. which when I sent to my card company as proof that they dont know what they are doing, they credited me back until Amazon and prove otherwise. Amazon froze my account, which I don`t care personally. They`ve been pissing me off with this ````. Wasted a solid 8 hours between days to get this semi sorted out.

Just curious, how much money was in dispute? I ask because I wonder if they have a threshold.
 
North of 300, I can`t see myself paying that money without the merchandise. I`d probably be less upset if it was like under 50, or they were more helpful in getting it sorted out. I ended up buying the product locally since they were not cooperating.

I completely understand and agree with you.
There`s always a place to draw a line and I would have done the same as you.
It`s too bad that companies, sometimes, feel they can just make any rule they want without regard to other considerations--like fairness and proper treatment.
 
Ok I said a update would happen so here is where we are at. As expected going into this the seller did not even ship the items. I had a quick chat session with Amazon and within 2 days they returned the balance to my account. It was a very painless process. You have to do a order cancellation on your own which gives the seller 48 hrs to make contact with a update of your order. After that your good to contact Amazon and they will also attempt to contact the seller and if no return within 24 hrs you get the refund.

I use Amazon gift cards when I purchase 3rd party on Amazon as the refund if needed is super quick. Now I will buy my usual rag company towels with my gift card. Hope everyone else has had good luck getting their orders in
 
I`m still waiting for mine. Supposedly they were shipped on 20 March and were supposed to arrive 28 March, now they are saying 1 April. I do have a tracking number. Fingers crossed.

[FONT=&quot]SAFE SHOPPING TIPS
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]==================================================
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Amazon.com works hard to protect our customers. For your safety, when placing orders with sellers other than Amazon.com:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]* Always place your orders directly through the Amazon.com shopping cart using Amazon Payments.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]* NEVER SEND MONEY DIRECTLY TO SELLERS THROUGH WIRE TRANSFERS OR CHECKS. Such transactions are not covered by our A-to-z Guarantee.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]* Be wary of e-mails that request direct payments, request payment to international locations, or ask for personal information. Amazon.com will never ask you to pay for a Marketplace transaction outside our shopping cart, or to confirm personal information, such as a credit card number or password, using an e-mail. "

I emailed the seller through amazon: "these items were ordered from you, where are they or are you a scam business?"
needless to say, the business did not respond.

the good thing is, amazon stands behind purchases (or attempted purchases) through their website, and i`ve never had a problem with amazon with any purchase or refund.. my credit card was not charged for this order attempt.[/FONT]

Not yet. I imagine I will have to call Amazon to get my money back. It still does not say delivered although there is a tracking number. I don`t think they are coming, but it was worth a try.

I bought my PFM`s at Advanced Auto Parts. Last time they were $8.30 each w the on line discount. That`s the cheapest I found them. I ordered them on line and picked them up at the store in the next town over.

Keep in mind though that these are the smaller size towels. For drying, I`d rather use two small ones than one big one - but that`s me. Best towels I have ever used for drying.

I bought the Griot`s Sit On creeper at Advanced as well. Love it.

Was your card even charge for the items?
 
Card was charged the day I placed the order (normal for Amazon). Contacted them today to start a reversal of funds. It was worth a try. Lol

I was wondering if they just put a hold on the money until it get ship. I was going to place a order for them to but I held off. Good luck, hope everything turns out good for you.
