Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!
« Reply #450 on: December 31, 2004, 03:20:39 am »
FWIW when I called  I spoke with a CSR named Carl and he got the ball rolling on the refund without any fuss and he told me it would take 1 to 2 weeks for my refund to show up.  I then mentioned the possibility of a $20 gift certificate for my troubles and asked him to look at the notes in the order # provided by OG.  He asked me to hold on a minute and when he came back he was willing to give me that $20 as well.  I don't really know of course if he actually read the notes or just went for coffee but I didn't push it.  The gift certificate (signed by Carl) showed up within 15 minutes and a confirmation that my A-Z claim had been filed showed up right after (no sig).   About 10 minutes later I got a second confirmation from a CSR named Lauri who also claimed to have filed a A-Z claim for me.  This second confirmation read more like it was a response to one of my earlier emails but that would be a heck of a coincidence.  I'm not sure what to make of that but it does look like I have at least one refund coming.

I called amazon not long after ORG posted the details for the certificate.  I had no problem with my CSR.  I didn't post earlier because the account is under my wife's and she just confirmed the confirmation emails.

Amazon claims to be processing the A-Z guarrantee and I got the promotional certificate without any fuss.

The two lessons I learned are: (1) Be wary of third party selllers on amazon.com and (2) pick up the phone and talk to a CSR. After my third round of e-mailing amazon support telling them that their canned/scripted responses to my queries were not acceptable or helpful, they stopped responding. I was hoping to see how long it would take to actually get a real human-generated e-mail response. Maybe, I'll never know.

On the other hand, the  Indian woman on the phone that handled my A-Z request was very courteous and professional.

Because of the holidays I was not able to file the A-Z guarantee until the 27th although I could have filed as early as the 24th.  I called in today to check on the status and the CSR Cindy said that it would be a few more days.  She did give me the $20 GC after checking the order mentioned in the previous posts.  Still have to wait to get back my $2440!!!!!!!!

Supposedly I get my refund the 10th. 39 days after the purchase. somewhere between 32 and 38 days since the fraud was known.  It will be nice to get the refund. I am less than thrilled with the time.

Got my refund. yippeee.

It is nice that the A-Z really works and that Amazon kept their side of the deal.  I would wish for better fraud response, but this is at least reassuring.

I will research 3rd party sellers much more closely now, though.
