To prevent customers from filing A to Z claims, Why not just fix the tracking issues with Purolator and Canada Post that have been ongoing since April 2024 and November 2024 respectively, so that Amazon's customers can view proper tracking and not get forced to file A to Z claims in the first place?
Every morning we have to deal with Customers that say their item isn't delivered, however it was delivered to their community mailbox. We then have to direct them to the correct tracking info on Canada Post's website, and email them a screenshot, because Amazon's account app can not provide the right data.
Also Amazon's systems for customers go straight to A to Z claim right away for Canada Post lettermail orders under $30, despite Amazon policy allowing for sellers to ship lettermail for orders under $30 within Canada.

My current A-Z claim has been filed as Not Recived today, July 2nd. Delivery promise date is July 10. ???!!!
Is this bad tech or just willful damage to sellers?

Is this a joke again?
Just got an order losing A-to-Z even when having proofs (showed to a-to-z) that buyer returned damage product after more than half a month of use. Claim was first granted reason = we closed the return request (well got proof return request was authorized and on-time), appealed but denied this time reason = we did not respond to the claim for more information (well again responded within 24 hours after received the a-to-z email). Sent another appeal, wasted time since "a-to-z stand by their decision"
Guess a-to-z should be "gives buyer the best chance of successfully scam with an A-to-Z claim" instead.
