They often do the whole “we’ll refund immediately as a courtesy but you need to return it by x or you’ll be charged” thing— in this case for whatever (infuriating) reason they charged me even though it’s clear their own system (their chat bot) knew the item had been marked as received on their end. I dropped it off at a brick and mortar store too!
I feel like I had this happen as well but the chat bot was smart enough to be like “this dude spends a fuck ton on Amazon and this item was only $12, I’ll just mark it received and get dude the money back.”
The bot did not refund me, I talked to a real person via the chat and they said the carrier team didn’t mark it received and that they would “disarm the retro charge” and refund me. We’ll see if it goes through.

Did it refund you after the chat?

Wtf. They must have screwed something up with a software update. Worst case you charge back, but that might get your account banned…
