I am going back and forth with emails and keep getting an automated message about what I said before. I called Amazon, and a representative promised to share my information with the department handling lost freight forwarder information. She said the department would get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. I have heard nothing from Amazon. Have you ever dealt with a situation like this? Can you give me some guidance on this matter? Mirella Veen, Retreat Estate, St. Maarten This is the first case invol...
A travel insurance app may be the last place you'd look when you're concerned about safety. But for experienced travelers, it is becoming a first stop.

"My first concern when traveling alone is safety," says Urbonaite, the chief marketing officer for a wedding planning...

I'm in my mid-30s, with a huge problem concerning an ex-girlfriend. This girl I loved and still do. There was a horrible breakup. I haven't spoken to her in a year, but not a day goes by I don't think of her. The breakup was due to my lack of commitment. She wanted marriage and children, and I dragged my feet. We were only together a year and a half, but she wanted to speed things along and I just could not give her what she wanted. After we parted we remained friends. We hung out or went out to...
Linda Carnivale wants her $250 cruise deposit refunded. But now her bank and cruise line are arguing over who is responsible for the money. Does it matter? And can she get her money back?

Why is Quest Diagnostics sending Maria Jacobson a $3,437 bill for her blood test? Her insurance company should cover it -- or should it? In 2022, I went to a Quest Diagnostics location in Issaquah, Wash., for a blood screening test. At the time, I gave an employee my health insurance information. Quest Diagnostics sent me a bill for $3,437. It looks like they didn't use my health insurance information, so I was billed for the full amount. I have contacted Quest Diagnostics repeatedly to get...

Catriona Garry misses her flight from Edinburgh to Boston because there's only one ticket agent at the airport. Can she get $1,200 in rebooking fees refunded? I missed my flight from Edinburgh to Dublin because of Aer Lingus’ lack of staffing. There was just one member of its Edinburgh airport staff to check in passengers for all flights that day. This complete lack of personnel resulted in me and more than 20 other passengers waiting over three hours in line to check-in. We all missed our f...
Where's the nightstand Inna Zaychik ordered from Amazon? The company says it's been delivered, but she doesn't have it. Can she get a refund?

Over four years, I've become great friends with a guy in my small community. He moved into town from a large metro area, and we met through common interests--motorcycling, surfing, and boating. We also share the same sense of humor, the same interest in world events, and common interests in just about everything else. He and I, along with our wives, have become close. I knew all along he'd made a considerable amount of money in the cash advance or payday loan business. I know this type of...
When ITA Airways changes Rocco De Mella's plane from Miami to Rome, he loses the seat upgrade he bought. An airline representative promises him a prompt refund. But six months later, the airline still has his money. I flew from Miami to Rome on ITA Airways recently with my wife. I paid an extra $160 for two upgraded seats. ITA Airways changed the type of aircraft, so we were downgraded to economy class. When we checked in, an ITA Airways representative promised we would get a refund. He gave us...
