The only item in the box was the SSD, so couldn't I claim that the box was just filled with the air packs and nothing else?

Given the nature of the Item and the method used, what I can say Is that It has a very good chance of success.

The objective Is to simply say that upon opening the box, the SSD was missing. Do not elaborate any further- let them ask questions, and you can hammer them thereafter.

That makes sense, what are some questions they ask for claims like these?

They'll most likely open an Investigation and (If need be), request Information based on their findings.

I was filing a DNA claim with the Amazon chat assistant and it recommended that I wait until the 30th for my order to show up, if it hasn't already. Frankly, I believe this is ridiculous but I've never done a DNA before, should I wait or should I just speak to an actual rep and get another one sent sooner? It's been about a whole day already RE: Couple of questions regarding the Partial Refund method for Amazon - mothered - 11-29-2020 (11-29-2020, 02:55 AM)neekhavod Wrote: I was filing a DNA claim with the Amazon chat assistant and it recommended that I wait until the 30th for my order to show up, if it hasn't already.

It's been about a whole day alreadyIt's standard procedure to wait In case the delivery turns up. Although logs are kept of every claim conversation, It won't hurt to speak with a rep.

As you're aware, SEing requires a lot of patience and the need to wait Is sometimes Inevitable, but by no means does It have a negative Impact on your claim. It simply means that It'll take a little longer to process.

Talked with a rep and she agreed to send in a replacement SSD. I'll update you on the missing item progress once the replacement arrives as well. Is there a time frame I should be vary of pertaining to the missing item? Like waiting a full day before reporting or does it not matter?

In answer to your question, It makes perfect sense to contact the rep/agent on the day. If It were the DNA, then that's totally different- you're not supposed to know that the package arrived, so you'd (seemingly) wait all day for the driver and call the company the day after at the earliest. |
