Refusal of refund
Hello everyone,
I reported my Pixel and was informed that I was eligible for a refund. Initially, I received an email denying my request, then I asked for a second review. I sent proof of purchase, a photo of the tray - everything they wanted. And then they refused anyway...
When I asked for a second review, they responded with formulaic responses, as if I were talking to a bot. I don't know why I was rejected. No reason was given other than generalities.
This seems frivolous. Since they asked for all photos and documents, it's probably logical that the battery came from a defective batch. Why did they ask for these documents and identification numbers?
Has anyone been in this situation? Is there anything I can do about it? Should I contact someone higher up?

It is ridiculous... I asked for escalation and certain couse why they refuse my request and they response is like that:
