Last year order 2 4K TVs Few months apart one was From LG and other one was from HisenseAylesbury_Duck wrote: »Why is it easier?
Hisense TV was shipped to me while it was in warehouse was told it was lost had to wait 1 Week for Amazon to find it they simply said in the end we can send you a replacement or we can issue refund as but for replacement it will take some days so Asked them to send Refund in GC
2nd LG 4K Tv
Hermes delivered a a broken tv heck even the Box was broken before i got the TV so never took it
they said we can issue refund or replacement i took Refund in GC
Orderd Logitech G933 Wireless Gaming headset , that burnt its charging port lol while i was wearing it
so i asked for the refund on GC after that i put money in GC as well now if i have issue like thats easier
but i have learnt my lesson no more amazon0 -
No wonder they aren't jumping to refund you this time.Hisense TV was shipped to me while it was in warehouse was told it was lost ....Asked them to send Refund in GC
2nd LG 4K Tv
Hermes delivered a a broken tv heck even the Box was broken before i got the TV so never took it

That choice may well be taken out of your hands..i have learnt my lesson no more amazon0 -
How is Amazon holding "thousands" of your money in GC balance "easier"? Why not just have the money yourself and then pay for goods when you buy them? You don't get any additional consumer rights or protection by paying using GC balance. In fact, if you paid by credit card you'd have MORE protection.0

This is all starting to smell a little strange. I'm not convinced we are getting the whole story here.0

Of what nature?
Items going missing perhaps?
This is the 1st item has actually gone missing when it was delivered, because we usually deliver each others parcel on this street so its good , Even with this i m pretty sure its drivers screw up
I had Few issues when items were gone missing
In last 3 Years i have ordered more than 300 Items from amazon alone, when amazon drivers few times delivered broken items or had issue with few the items i asked for refund in GC
as they put that in your account straight away and you can order for next day delivery that was the reason i started putting in GC balance0 -

Large Balance in GC is not like i have 1000s in my GC balance lol currently in GC i have like 3 £ lolMoneyineptitude wrote: »While that may be true, it doesn't explain why you are still carrying a large balance in Gift Cards..
i meant is if amazon cancels my account and if i had issue with they wont replace the items and that balance will be gone0 -

Three thousand is thousands though.
Completely baffled as to why you think holding that in gift cards is a good idea.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Really?Large Balance in GC is not like i have 1000s in my GC balance lol currently in GC i have like 3 £ lol
So why did you earlier post this:
I'm beginning to think this thread is a wind up.so in GC alone amazon holds couple of thousands so i dont wanna risk that either0
