I am rather angry about all of this. Lets first start with my 3 Amazon orders for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo bundle.

Those of you who have researched this product insofar as pricing, know that even in late February when I placed my first order, I found several great deals.

Also keep in mind, on April 18, 2025 the price for any of the bundles shown, was double what I originally paid.

At the time of my first order, I had in my Costco online cart the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Capture More Combo which does not come with the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter, wide angle lens, nor the carrying case. However it did come with a 64GB SD card all for $499.00. About what I paid for the other bundles which did include the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter, etc.

I really wanted the price with the mic included so I waited for the original Amazon order I placed. On February 27, 2025 Amazon refunded the original order explaining they were concerned about the shipment.

On March 1, 2025 (graphic illustration below shows March 3, 2025 as the entry date) I again found a great deal with Amazon, however it too was refunded on March 15, 2025 with the same explanation.

On March 19, 2025, I again ordered the same bundle from Amazon however though informing me on April 22, 2025 the order was not coming, did not automatically refund to my credit card company. The other problem, I paid off the credit card on April 18, 2025 to avoid interest charges.

When I first started discussing with Amazon what I could do about the issue of a refund and why I was unhappy, they agreed I had been through too much and issued a gift card on April 23, 2025 in the amount of $100.

They also indicated that since I had paid off my Amazon Signature Visa card they understood why I wanted a bank check or direct deposit issued to my business checking account. I am an Amazon Affiliate and they have my business bank information on file.

They promised the check was on the way via the USPS. This was on April 23, 2025 or so. Every day I have checked and no mail from Amazon, so this morning around 3:00 AM I started a chat to find out why no check. They indicated because it had not been processed. I was surprised by this. During the chat the Amazon associate issued a refund to my credit card company. Chase issues the Amazon Signature Visa I hold. I was upset by this because it meant, though I placed a $175 order from Amazon on April 19, 2025 that was not yet paid for, I did not want to carry $300 plus on the card for any amount of time.

That said, once the rep informed me of what she had done, I did not want it undone in case it led to more problems. I have the transcripts of the chat to show I did not ask her to refund to the credit card company.

Meanwhile on April 9, 2025 I picked up the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Capture More Combo from Costco. Part of the $175 order from Amazon on April 14, 2025 was for the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter (Shadow Black) which was on sale for $84.00.

Okay, I did get my new camera and if you add it up you will find I paid about the same with the gift card. Why did I get the Costco deal before they informed me it was not coming? To be on the safe side since I had failed to get the Amazon orders twice.

What else am I doing about erasing the amount Chase is holding on the card? Paying some of my upcoming domain renewals with my Amazon Signature. I am also temporally changing my Verizon cell auto pay- payment method to the Amazon card. I may also take some of the real estate courses early I need to renew my license next year.

Why would they tell me the check was on the way, if it was not true? I feel since late February, I have been waiting on one thing or another and it has made me unhappy.

Did you want to ask how much the DJI carry bag and wide angle lens cost? I am a business owner and was able to purchase both items for about $34, total. Yes, this is not cry for me. It is more, why was this so hard?

Sometimes I have to get things off my chest. I will move on now.
