I have. Though i always call directly for pretty much everything. I'm old-fashioned. So I filed the claim as part of the conversation I had with the Amazon support rep. They ultimately sided with me. My case was a bit different though. I bought a band t-shirt, and when it arrived it had been shipped from China, and was an extremely extremely bad bootleg knock-off. Didn't look anything like what was pictured in the Amazon images. So mine was pretty straightforward. The seller was selling illegal bootlegs. The seller wanted me to pay to ship it back to China before they'd give a refund, or alternatively accept a "partial" refund and keep it (obviously part of the scam). Amazon ultimately gave me a full refund, reported the seller, and I used their bootleg shirt to wrap my outdoor water faucet during the hard freeze last week. :lol:

wasn't a prime item (first mistake). and seller is now trying to deduct me 20% restocking fee and return shipping for an item that had an error on the listing. mind you, their website shows 15% restocking fee for items now that I did the research.

but still, it's their error - not sure why I have to pay for their mistake.
I've had to get refunded through them and it went pretty smoothly - seller also tried the restocking fee thing, but Amazon gave me a full refund.

edit: did it all through my orders page - no call needed. More deets: Seller claimed he shipped, but not tracking provided, nothing ever showed. Amazon gave me the refund within 24 hours.

hoping they side with me, I assume they will. but the description was inaccurate on the website listing so, I don't see why they wouldn't.

Heh. Doubtful. I thought he was semi-retired now. As in, slow-going in finishing commitments. I like a lot of his work, just not enough to frame/hang a huge 24 x 36 poster of them. I'd prefer more focus on the vehicles leaving out most of the background.

He's too busy talking fudge on other artists to produce anything but cheap lithos of his colored pencil commissions.

Huh. For real? I don't keep-up with social media nonsense. Also, I have no interest in following or supporting those who don't follow through on their commitments (in a timely manner.)

so Amazon finally told me just send it back to them, Amazon will credit me whole amount once BisonOffice receives item. really don't buy from those morons. I asked seller for return label and they told me no it's my job to pay for shipping to get it back. will Amazon chat later again and see what they want me to do now. I'm anticipating them saying keep the drymounting item and they're gonna refund me anyway and fight with seller.

If it wasn't "fulfilled by Amazon" you might have to send it back to Bison on your own . . . When it is fulfilled by Amazon, they would probably just give you a time for a UPS pickup at your house.
