January 13, 2025 at 5:40 pmHi everyone,I ordered a Samsung S23 5G from Amazon on October 25, and it was delivered the next day. When I received the package, I noticed the box didn’t have the proper verification seal. After opening it, I found scratches on the phone and a black spot inside the charging port.
I checked the serial number on the phone, and it didn’t match the one on the sticker at the back. Using an app, I discovered the phone had been activated 360 days ago. Samsung Care confirmed the warranty was almost expired, proving it wasn’t a new phone.
I contacted Amazon customer care multiple times, and after weeks of frustration, they accepted the return. I was told I’d get a refund within 10-15 business days.
It’s been over 90 days, and I still haven’t received my money. Every time I contact Amazon, they give different excuses:
“The refund was initiated on November 30.”
“The seller hasn’t processed the refund.”
“Contact our lending partner, Axio.”
When I reached out to Axio, their chatbot was slow and disconnected without solving anything. Emails went unanswered too.
After receiving some suggestions from you guys, I decided to file a complaint on the consumer court website. But unfortunately, both their website and app aren’t working properly—I can’t even log in to file my complaint.
I’ve made over 100 calls to Amazon and written multiple emails to Axio, but there’s still no resolution.
If anyone knows how to escalate this further or has any advice, I’d be really grateful for your help.
Thanks for reading!

January 13, 2025 at 7:50 pmUnfortunately in that case, Amazon escalation & consumer court are the only options. Keep pestering them & social media shaming them might help

January 13, 2025 at 7:44 pmWhenever I order something costly, I make sure that I record it while opening it. Had ordered a Asus Rog Ally from Amazon. And it was used/demo unit. Glad I had a recording of unboxing it., still it took me more then 15 days to get a refund.-

January 13, 2025 at 8:03 pmLooks like you bought a product which is not marked as “fulfilled by Amazon”. Still 90 days is no excuse. I hope you have retained photos, videos and email conversations. Record calls and more importantly keep bombarding posts on x.com -

January 14, 2025 at 5:49 amHave you got an email confirming the refund from Amazon??
If not , get a confirmation mail first. Tell the CSA that you won’t drop the call unless you send the confirmation mail
