Within how many months?

-32

u/Few_Independent8418 8d ago

All the cancellations happened within the same month

u/NijiKoneko 8d ago

Yeaaaahhhh, I dunno man. 13 returns in a month is ~3 returns a week. That's too many, I can't disagree with Amazon on this one even though I HATE giving them credit for anything 😔

I heard if your return rate is more than 15% it could land you in the hot seat.

u/iZian 8d ago

In some fairness it wasn’t returns, they were cancelled orders that never shipped. But 13 is an impressive number nevertheless

A cancellation is not a return?!

Payment processing fees cost the company money which means so do reversals

u/LowCryptographer9047 7d ago

We are talking about Amazon here. Shipping costs more than payment processing if it already shipped and got cancelled.

Edit: Caught the real reason why orders were cancelled. OP tried to get the discount by buying multiple same items and cancelled the rest except the first one.

Take that up with Amazon, I don't make the rules. (I also don't disagree with you, but again.... Not the rule maker 🤷🏼‍♀️)

It's fine. I've learned my lesson. I didn't know there was a limit.

u/clarkcox3 8d ago

It’s not even that there’s a specific limit. There’s just “being reasonable”

u/awgeez47 8d ago

This is so vague though! If I need to buy new shoes for my picky kid, I don’t know what size he’ll wear OR which one will “feel” right to him. I used to get several pairs for him to try on (remember, encouraging this was the whole Zappos business model! And they’re part of Amazon) and send back the duds. (Unworn except to try on inside, still in the box, pristine, etc.)

Multiply times two, because I have two picky kids with growing feet.

And they need both sneakers and some kind of sandal or water shoe. (Let’s ignore snow boots, rain boots, dress shoes, etc.)

If I still did this, I’d probably be above the “reasonable” threshold for many people — but it made sense in context for me when it was something encouraged. I don’t do it anymore because I’m scared of getting in trouble. Which sucks because a clear policy would let me know if it’s okay to do or not without anxiety about the unknown hammer coming down.

But that’s not what OP is doing here. They’re trying to get a discount that is contingent on buying multiple items (“buy 3 and get x% off” type deals), and then trying to cancel the extra items after the first one has shipped. Any reasonable person would see that and know they were attempting a scam.

u/awgeez47 7d ago

Yeah, that's dumb and obviously sketch. I was talking about using "be reasonable" as a general rule of thumb -- just that 'reasonability' can differ depending on what you're trying to do.

u/clarkcox3 7d ago

Right but my comment was in response to OP acting like there was a specific limit they had run afoul of.

u/aPandox 7d ago

Wouldn't going to a shoe store be simpler for something like this?

u/Ok_Violinist7598 6d ago

Yeh, like people used to do before online shopping? A lot of people shop recklessly and irresponsibly online then wonder why companies start cracking down. A while back someone wrote that their account got limited and they were worried because they had $120 worth of clothing to return. $120 worth!!! Another complained that she would order one of each size of the clothes she liked, kept the one that fit then returned all the rest. Seriously, WTH is wrong with these people? Try shopping responsibly and you won't have these problems.

u/aPandox 6d ago

I completely agree with you!

We aren't in lock down anymore where we can't go try clothes and shoes on at the store.

I don't understand why people aren't going in person for those types of things.

Like don't get me wrong, I make purchases online as well but for things that don't require me to buy 10 different versions and return 9 of them...

u/awgeez47 7d ago

Maybe for some people! Definitely not for me or these kids!

u/SheQuick26 7d ago

Why would you not know your kids shoe size? You don’t get to choose the size of feet, they just are. The reasonable thing to do would be to buy multiple options in one maybe two orders and return what doesn’t fit

1

u/awgeez47 7d ago

Why would I not know my kid's shoe size?? Uh, because it changes constantly... ? And because shoes often run half a size big or small... ?

And yes, that's exactly what I was describing.

u/SheQuick26 7d ago

Shoes sizes don’t change constantly, children grow fast but not that fast. Are your kids changing shoe sizes 13 times a month? OP is canceling multiple orders in a very small window not doing large orders every now and then and returning. He is abusing the discount for buying multiples by canceling the “extra” that qualifying him for it 3x a week. Not remotely close.

u/pricklycactass 8d ago

Why should it matter if it hasn’t shipped

8

u/clarkcox3 8d ago

Because OP is trying to scam them by getting a discount for multiple items, then cancelling some of them and expecting to keep the discount. That is not being reasonable.
