On 20th March 2023, I placed order on Amazon for Samsung Galaxy A23 5G, Silver (8GB, 128GB Storage) mobile device. It was delivered on 22nd March. However, two days later, the touch screen stops functioning. So we lodge a complaint with Amazon Customer Care Service centre over their phone and they say they will schedule a technician visit on 27th March who will ascertain whether to repair or replace the mobile device. On 27th March however, the technician refuses to visit us and says that we should share the job pin so that he would arrange for refund of the mobile device. Since Amazon had specifically forbidden us from sharing the PIN over phone, without having the technician visit us, we refused. After few hours, another technician called us and once again tried to coerce us in sharing the PIN over phone without having him visit us for inspecting the phone, saying that he will arrange refund. We refused and escalated the matter to a new Amazon Customer Care Centre executive, who assured that the matter will be resolved without any delay and scheduled another technician visit on 31st March. Our worst fears came true when this technician also asked for the job PIN over phone to process refund without visiting us to check the phone.. We again refused and escalated to another Amazon Customer Service executive, who this time assured us that the replacement is being processed. We requested for refund, however, the executive gave an ambiguous answer and said that we shall receive our replacement on 2nd April. Today on 2nd April, as I wait for the replaced mobile device, the Amazon delivery person calls me and asks me if the mobile is formatted to which I say No since the mobile device touch screen is hanged. Then he mutters something and cuts the phone. Now there is no delivery of the replacement mobile device, nor any call from the delivery person, nor Amazon is bothered to call back & understand if the customer has received a resolution. I now have to again call up the Amazon Customer Care centre, talk to a new faceless executive every time, go through this entire traumatic process again of having to repeat the whole story to a new Amazon executive every time, despite they having a full view of the flow of the entire activity, answer same set of questions, put on hold for a long time, get the same response for replacement which turns out unsuccessful and an ambiguous response when asked for refund. This is causing me mental trauma and no one is able to give me a concrete resolution to the matter. I keep calling amazon and wasting my time without getting any resolution - either refund or replacement of the defective mobile device. There is no complaint email address mentioned to where I can write down my complaint. Please help since I am tired of the follow up despite having paid for the mobile and Amazon is not at all bothered to service its customers..
