Overview

  • Amazon apologized to Kay and arranged for removal of the misdirected car seat cover shipments that had filled her San Jose driveway.
  • The Chinese seller Liusandedian repeatedly used Kay’s address for returns of Etkin-branded faux-leather seat covers that customers had rejected.
  • Kay’s six complaint tickets and a $100 gift-card offer failed to stop the monthly influx that also blocked her driveway and her 88-year-old mother’s access.
  • Amazon policy requires international sellers to provide a U.S. return address, offer returnless refunds or prepaid labels within two days, but the company did not vet these listings.
  • Amazon has suspended Liusandedian’s listings pending an investigation of its compliance with international return rules and pledged permanent policy fixes.
