The thread further highlighted grievances with Amazon's customer service, with one user stating, "Bro, I had a similar issue with Amazon. These people @AmazonHelp will just keep asking you to send proofs and make you wait. And after a certain time, they will say that they have checked with their internal team and the right product was sent from our end. Sorry we can't assist."
