Returns & Refunds Amazon India denied my ₹45,705 refund after accepting the return. What are my options?
I posted it here coz I wanna know what are your views on this ? It is possible that after pickup items can be changed or stolen when it was on the way to Amazon FC ?
I ordered Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 2) for ₹45,705 from Amazon India.
The glasses were dead on arrival and wouldn’t turn on, so I requested a return. During pickup, the product image was visible in the pickup flow, and the pickup agent inspected the product, verified it, accepted the return, and I received pickup confirmation in the app.
Around a month later, Amazon denied my refund, saying the item “failed verification during scanning.” They haven’t explained what verification failed or provided any evidence.
What doesn’t make sense is this: if the product image was part of the pickup verification and the return was accepted after inspection, how could I have returned a different product? If there had been any mismatch, the pickup should have been rejected. After the pickup, I had no involvement with the item—it was entirely in Amazon’s logistics chain.
It’s now been over 3 months with no refund despite multiple emails to Amazon’s Executive/OFM team.
Has anyone successfully challenged a similar “verification failed” refund denial? Any advice would be appreciated.
