I ordered some books from Amazon on July 10th. I was within a couple of bucks of qualifying for "free shipping", so I got a DVD I had been wanting. They estimated it would be delivered by the 22nd. Wow, that's a long time. But it's free, so I'll wait. Two weeks later, no stuff.

Today I was curious why I hadn't received my order. I checked the tracking info. It went out US Postal Service and was marked "undeliverable" on the 14th. No more entries, no more info, no contact from Amazon, no stuff, no nothing. I sent Amazon an e-mail, but haven't heard back.

Anyway, next time I'll forgo the "free shipping" and just pay the extra $5 or whatever for shipping via somebody reliable.

UPDATE: Looks like my bad. It was sent to an old address. I am pretty sure I changed it almost three years ago. And I don't remember seeing it on the confirmation page. When I reordered, it gave me a choice of three addresses - my old one, and two for my new one. Don't remember that before. Weird. At any rate, it was probably my error and I just wasn't paying attention.

Agreed...

What really irritates me is that they hide their customer support number. In case you need it, it's (800) 201-7575. Or at least it used to be. Maybe they've changed it since I published it on my blog a couple years back. Heh.

800 # for Amazon

I believe you are correct on the 800 #. My old boss, Kevin Kelly, outed that number on a post on his Cool Tools blog back in January of 2004. He also gives hard to find numbers for ebay and paypal.

Amazon

The exact same thing happened to me. I emailed Amazon and they sent out a replacement UPS second-day at no additional charge. But I, like you, waited over two weeks to receive the item I had ordered. It finally arrived today.
