I need urgent help with a recent A-Z claim against us which resulted in a substantial and clearly incorrect seller funded refund.
Amazon approved a claim for a 16 parcel order of which 15 were delivered. The customer never claimed all 16 were missing, just 1. However they have been refunded for the entire order and our appeal with proof of this has been denied.
Order ID: 204-4729189-2318743
Seller Support Case ID: 13133252652 / 13154677422
Refund: £559.84 seller-funded
Correct disputed amount: £34.99
The order consisted of 16 separately tracked boxes of LVT flooring with a total value of £559.84.
The customer raised an A-to-z claim stating: “I ordered 16 pks but only received 15.”
They also messaged us on Amazon to say they got 15 parcels but one was missing in transit.
The customer therefore explicitly acknowledged receiving 15 of the 16 boxes.
Our courier admitted loss of the 1 parcel. However before we could offer a refund or a replacement the customer had filed an A-Z incorrectly for all 16 parcels (despite in their own claim comments admitting they got 15).
Fifteen separate tracking numbers show delivery on 29 July 2026 at 14:12 and signed receipt.
Only one parcel was not delivered and was subsequently confirmed lost by the courier.
We have never disputed the customer’s entitlement to a refund for that one missing box. Its value is £34.99.
However, the customer selected 16 of 16 units when submitting the claim and Amazon refunded the entire £559.84 order.
As a result, the customer has retained 15 delivered boxes worth £524.85 AND received a refund for those same 15 boxes.
We appealed and supplied:
• Customer acknowledgement that 15 of 16 boxes were received
• 15 separate tracking numbers confirming delivery
• Signed proof of delivery with GPS confirmation
• Delivery photograph
• Courier evidence showing only 1 parcel was missing
During the appeal, Amazon requested information from the customer. The customer did not respond. The appeal was subsequently CLOSED and the full £559.84 seller-funded refund remained in place.
Seller Support has now advised that the claim cannot be reopened or appealed and that Amazon cannot reverse the excess refund without the customer’s consent.
We have been instructed to contact the customer and ask them voluntarily to authorise reversal of £524.85.
This leaves us in an extremely unfair position. The buyer’s own statement and the carrier evidence both establish that 15 boxes were delivered.
Yet because the buyer has not responded, they are currently retaining both the £524.85 worth of delivered goods and the corresponding refund.
We respectfully request that an Amazon moderator review this case and, if possible, escalate it to the appropriate A-to-z or specialist team.
We are NOT requesting reversal of the £34.99 refund for the genuinely missing parcel. We are requesting reimbursement of the £524.85 that was refunded for 15 separately tracked parcels which were delivered, acknowledged as received and retained by the buyer. Can an Amazon moderator please assist with escalating this for manual review? Thank you.
