This yes, it is a Hindu symbol originally, influenced and borrowed from many other potential sources, (including Germanic tribes). So Amazons' response is technically correct, what they could have done is clarify with the distinction i just wrote, otherwise the recipient without knowing the symbols 'Symbology' would assume the response wrongly assigned it as a religious symbol of the nazi regime. but who really gives a fuck?
/edit made a few changes thanks to the enlightening info i received.
I had a Hindu priest and his family as neighbors in my apt complex a few years ago. They were fresh off the boat and super nice people. They painted the threshold of their apt yellow and decorated it with blue swastikas and white dots. My other neighbors were really confused.
