Ordered some apple watches to BFMR through Amazon. Amazon gave me a UPS tracking number. This number is invalid according to UPS. It doesn't say shipped or label created, it just says that there is no information associated with this tracking number. Amazon's own tracking says the order is delayed and does not show any tracking steps. Amazon's customer service is less than helpful. They can't do anything because it was sent to a freight forwarder apparently.

Any other options for me apart from charging back via my credit card since this is easily provable that Amazon is lying here? I assume Amazon will shut me down for charging back.

The risk of theft after delivery, risk of no delivery from amazon, complexity of tracking everything and long waits for payouts from BGs has finally forced me to re-evaluate this scheme and I will no longer be participating after all my in-transit orders are delivered.
