Can't say at this stage. Wait for the result of the Investigation.

They may well conclude a refund, so there'll be no need to work around anything. If they don't (refund), your next course of action will depend on their response.

I thought it was good too, but my last chat with customer service didn't end so well:

I've taken out my name for this transcript.

11:07 PM PDT Ameerunnisa: May I place you on hold for 2 minutes while I look in to this?
11:07 PM PDT ---: Sure
11:08 PM PDT Ameerunnisa: This order has been marled as delivered to you already, I'm sorry we will not be able to help you with this order.
You can contact the carrier for further queries.
11:08 PM PDT ---: That's the thing, I never got it
11:09 PM PDT ---: I talked to someone yesterday and they said it might've been a misscan and told me it would be here by today
11:10 PM PDT Ameerunnisa: I can confirm you that this was not a misscan and we will not be able to help you with this one.


Talked with them a day before this and they told me it was a misscan. Don't know if that was suppose to mean anything

Hum, they seem to be really stubborn here.

Maybe the chat isn't the easy way to do it, it is?

In my opinion, this is a clear demonstration that saying you didn't receive the package isn't always the best choice.
The problem is when you put the mistake on the carrier, a SE can work out even in this situation, but overall it's just a bad choice from what i've seen.

I have seen many times people saying that we should everytime avoid to say the fact it was the Carrier fault because otherwise Amazon will just tell you it's not their fault .. Like in this case

Hope this works once the investigation goes through. Never had this problem before, but I guess they've improved their methods on how to deal with SE'ers

Well, at this point, it's out of your hand so you just have to wait for their reply...

Best of luck, I'm stuck in the middle of an investigation too on Amazon.de.
They keep emailing me the same response no matter what I say - been over a month in investigation.

Fingers crossed they refund you soon!
