We ask customers to first contact the merchant when they have a problem. If the merchant fails to resolve the problem, the customer can file an A-to-z claim. When Amazon receives the claim, we send the merchant an automated email detailing the claim which requests a response with basic information about the order and the fulfillment process.Amazon will then determine how the claim will be settled which may include reimbursement of the order to the customer, at the merchant's expense.
