"The buyer initially planned to claim the item was not received in order to obtain a refund."
The buyer received the package on March 17, 2025. Delivery confirmation included a signature that matched the buyer’s last name.
However, three hours later, the buyer claimed that the package was not received. After some messaging back and forth, the buyer stated: “No one was at home. I don’t know who took the package.” We advised the buyer to check with housemates or family members, since the signature matched their last name. The buyer responded that they would look into it and contact us later. However, within minutes, they escalated the issue to Amazon customer service with the reason: “Customer didn’t receive the package. Please issue a refund for the item.”
We responded by stating that if the package was truly signed for by an unknown person, the next step would be to report the incident to the police. Shortly afterward, the buyer informed us that they had located the package.
Two weeks later, we received another message through Amazon customer service. This time, the reason was: “Customer did not like the product quality and stated the item was not as described. Please help the customer with the return shipping fees.” As an Amazon seller, we take pride in the quality of all products we offer. The item in question matches the description and images listed on our storefront. We advised the buyer to initiate a return through the proper Amazon process and follow the return policy. However, the buyer refused to pay the return shipping costs and also don't want to lose the restocking fee. It became apparent that the buyer did not intend to complete the transaction in good faith and was attempting to receive a refund while keeping the item. Eventually, the buyer filed an A-to-Z Guarantee claim and changed the reason again—this time claiming the product was "damaged."
