Amazon India Seller - customer returns not delivered by Amazon agent but marked “attempted,” SAFE-T claims denied. Legal options?
Hi all, I’m a small seller on Amazon India facing a recurring issue:
- Customers return items → refunded by Amazon
- I never receive the returned product from Amazon (Amazon logistics agent)
- Amazon marks: “Delivery attempted but seller unavailable/refused”
- When I file SAFE-T claims the appeals get denied with the same template response
In reality:
- No delivery agent ever comes
- No calls received
- OTP never used
This has happened multiple times, so it seems systemic.
Questions:
- What legal options do I have?
- Can this be taken to court as deficiency of service?
- Has anyone successfully challenged Amazon on SAFE-T claim denials?
Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
