Hey everyone, just wanted to talk about my experience as a customer trying to order 4x WD Red Pro from Amazon.
First order was on 7/8/26 through Amazon US (ordering from AU). Total price of $2147 ($516 per drive). This order was marked lost towards the end of August by an associate, which I had to reach out to confirm vs Amazon reaching out to me.
see above (image 1-2) for the transit history. Associate promising me that the item would be delivered: (image 3)
Package being confirmed lost below (image 4):
I was also promised a replacement (image 5):
Which was then taken back by the associate (image 6):
All while the drives continued to go up in price/out of stock.
I was then offered a price-match finally, on the condition that I re-order the drives from the same seller (which would mean I would have to wait for them to be back in stock) image 7-8:
So that’s what I did. I waited until one was in stock and made an order on 28/9/26, what happened was the following (image 9-11):
And now the drives are (pretty much) lost again. Customer service has done nothing but offer me refunds since.
I just want my drives, for the price I paid for them. Is that too much to ask? I even made it clear to one of the associates that;
Unfortunately, a refund will not suffice as the price of these hard drives are 2-3x the price I paid through Amazon when making the order, so unless Amazon is willing to pay the amount the price of the 14TB WD Red Pro hard drives are at the moment (locally or through your own store), I will not be satisfied as I believe it is unfair. I have been promised multiple different delivery dates and have been patient throughout my multiple exchanges with you and your team. I have tried my absolute best to be patient and understanding however this is unfair.
This whole process has been mentally draining for me and seriously making me reconsider shopping with Amazon again. I have been promised updates, replacements, delivery dates and have been lied to each time. I’m hoping someone on here has another route I can go down, as I just want my drives for the original price I paid. Whether that be through Amazon, or if they were to subsidise my costs through another retailer, as I believe this whole exchange has been unfair.
