The "incorrect item" no longer provides support on a growing list of items. Read their TOS page, they have no support on groceries, computers, laptops, etc.
The automated loop of hell.

- jleyank 4y agoWhat’s the option(s) on computer gear that’s not filled correctly then, calling your credit card and opening a fraud investigation? Sounds like they don’t want to be in these businesses.
- IronWolve 4y agoThis is just 1 item in an order, so its not really a fraud. I think if you order a computer, make it 1 order with the computer by itself. That way you can just credit card that 1 order. Might be the best way to handle large and expensive items on amazon. Dont order groceries with a tv.
- arbuge 4y agoNote that if you really need to go down the chargeback route, partial chargebacks are allowed.
- IronWolve 4y agoGood to know, trying their 800 number support now (suggested by another comment)
- behringer 4y agoif you chargeback on amazon, you'll be lucky to ever order anything on amazon again.
- jleyank 4y agoWell, if they screw up a 2K laptop order and won't fix it, I'll never order anything on Amazon again and I'd be looking at chargeback or small claims. As I wrote initially, if there's no customer service available in certain market segments, Amazon isn't interested in participating in them. Caveat Emptor.
- behringer 4y agoI agree. It's just an fyi
- Shank 4y agoIf you do this you’ll get your Amazon account banned. Chargebacks are instabans on most services. If you get the wrong item unless you’re highly frugal losing access to all of Amazon usually isn’t worth this. This advice is very dangerous as many people wouldn’t want to be ToS banned from Amazon over random items unless they’re worth a lot.
- netr0ute 4y agoI don't know about this, as you'd essentially be self-selecting yourself toward the best suppliers because you'd weed yourself out from the bad ones.
- TAForObvReasons 4y agoIf you walk the logic to its conclusion, you might be better off taking the ToS ban: "received wrong item but didn't fight" -> "concern that future orders may be wrong" -> "use amazon less or for smaller items" -> "prime is not worth it" -> "leave" The difference between that and the chargeback, at first blush, is that you at least get your money back on the item if you chargeback.
- zeroimpl 4y agoIs this from experience? From a quick google search it seems that’s not automatic, and they also have a documented process for how this works for 3rd-party sellers too, giving them the option to dispute or accept it.
- benj111 4y agoI've done it with Ali express multiple times and they haven't banned me. Ultimately you can just set up a new account. What are you losing if Amazon bans an account?

- cglong 4y agoWhen's the last time you tried to refund a grocery item? I remember a few months back, we ended up having to tell the chatbot "I need more help" until we eventually got a human.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoWe have Whole Foods delivered and sometimes they forget items or the item is jacked up.
- IronWolve 4y agoI rarely get the wrong item or wrong count. I mostly order bulk food items. I stopped buying can goods on amazon as prices went up higher than walmart/cash and carry. Problem is cash and carry are the big number 5 cans.
- cglong 4y agoOur local Amazon tends to make an unexpected substitute rather than giving us a refund :(
