Amazon Orphans unite!

Never had a problem with Firefox and Amazon.

I broke a few days ago and cancelled my gift set order to buy the books individually instead. Should be here Thursday.

I had the same problem with my gift set. Scheduled to ship on the 11th of June but when the 11th came, it was still un-shipped. I called them and discovered they had outsold their number of copies in pre-orders. A couple of hoops later I had them sending me the books two day shipping free, as separate books instead of the gift set, at the pre-order price of the gift set. Being in middle of California, they arrived here the next day.

So If you're still having problems getting your gift set, I advise asking them to get the three books instead, if you don't mind not getting a slipcase.

I can't e-mail them with firefox, it gives me error. I use IE and it works fine.
My order was delayed and was waiting some kind of "acceptation" by my side. I checked with firefox around 20 times the last three days, nothing. I log with IE and surprise, I got a new whole page asking my acceptation about the delayed products.
 

I just emailed them Saturday or Sunday on Firefox. What version are you using? I'm using 2.0.0.14

A long time ago, at some point I was no longer able to use my bank's website with Firefox and had to start using IE for it. I assumed they did something stupid and made the site so it only worked in IE. Then I got a new computer a few months back and tried it and it worked fine in Firefox. So I don't know if I downloaded a bad addon or what.

But anyways, what I'm trying to say is that it's probably a problem with Firefox, not with Amazon. Try reinstalling or disabling plugins.
 

Same version. I got no-script, but I have allowed anything coming from amazon.
My brother has firefox too, no no-script, e-mail system failed at his computer too.

Anyways, my package now has "shipping soon", so, as I have been suspecting lately, they messed up with my credit card, hold money without my permission and kept failing to charge money because I didn't have enough (because most of the card was being hold), and now that the hold is over (since 16th, as I was told by the bank), everything is going smooth except the shipping delay, because I had to accept that delay thingy (with IE).

Shocking surprise that it wasn't my fault.
 


As I mentioned before, I cancelled my Amazon order on 6/11 and ordered from buy.com. Even with free shipping, I got my boxed set from buy.com yesterday (6/16). Finally! Thank goodness for buy.com.

I'm attempting this and seeing what their response is. I'm sure they will deny being able to do such a thing.

I just got my 3 individual books today, after canceling my gift set order last week.

I called and asked them to do that.... the guy hemmed and hawed a bit, then "asked someone", then came back and said he'd cancel the order and give me a $20 promotional discount on my next order. That, plus the $5 promotional discount they gave me when I first complained about the gift set delay, put my final cost with Standard Shipping at just under $44.

I am happy.
