How Can Buyers Successfully File an Amazon?
So, I ran into this snag last month when I bought a phone charger on Amazon that just didn't work right out of the box. I tried returning it through the seller, but they ghosted me after a week. Now I'm wondering, how do buyers actually pull off filing a successful Amazon claim? Like, what's the step-by-step that works without all the hassle?

Yeah, that charger story hits close to home – reminds me of when I ordered a blender that arrived all busted up, and the seller kept delaying the refund. I ended up going through Amazon's A-to-Z guarantee, and it saved the day. Basically, to file successfully, start by checking if it's been at least 3 days since delivery, then go to your orders, hit "Problem with order," and select the issue like damaged item or not received. Provide details, photos if you can, and submit. Amazon reviews it quick, usually within days, and if approved, you get refunded. In my case, adding screenshots of chats with the seller helped prove I tried resolving it first. Here’s a good breakdown of how Amazon's A-to-Z guarantee claims work – it cleared up the timelines for me. Since then, I've filed two more without issues by keeping records straight. Did you contact the seller via Amazon messaging? That might strengthen your case right away.
I've seen a bunch of these Amazon claim threads pop up, and from what folks share, timing seems key – don't wait too long after the delivery window closes. Back when I bought some books that never showed, I learned you gotta document everything, like tracking numbers and emails. It makes the process smoother if Amazon sees you've done your part. Overall, most buyers say sticking to the guidelines and being polite in descriptions gets approvals faster. Just sharing what I've picked up from reading around; it's all about preparation to avoid denials.
