I ordered through Amazon, but it was items from a third party.

But you paid Amazon, yes?

They sent an order confirmation on an Amazon email? Maybe your credit card statement says “Amazon” on the charge?

If so, then there’s no difference to buyers needing a refund, as far as I have ever experienced.

Well lesson learned I guess. Amazon provides you with purchasing options (free), explains it’s 3rd party policies (in English) and still you want them fix your problem for you.

I buy almost everything from Amazon. A couple of deliveries a week.  
I use Prime. I think they are fantastic. CS is fantastic. Don’t use third parties.

Why do you still expect one, when it’s been clearly explained to you that you’re not entitled to one?

Because customer service is important and this vendor does not have high standards.

Ah, you’re one of those. It must upset you that you can’t demand to see the manager of an online store.

Just send the fucking thing back, get your reimbursement, and go about your day.

I’ve always been leery about how well Amazon screens their 3rd party sellers. :dubious:
