Amazon Orphans unite!

I don't know if there is customer service which deals with returns... I'm pretty sure it's automated.

If you want any recompense, you're gonna have to make some noise.

I feel that I spent enough time making noises so I went a head and ordered the individual books. I had the $5 promotional discount for the original inconvenience of Amazon not notifying me of being out of stock. I decided to test the Amazon Prime trial to get free 2 day shipping. The email states I should have my books Friday at a cost of $57.91.

I'll be really surprised if it does ship that fast. I will have to remember to 'cancel' the prime account once I get my books.

I got the notice that my order was pushed back a couple weeks ago, but on the tenth I got an email telling me that the order had shipped with a delivery date of the 19th, I ended up actually getting them on the 16th.

We thought you'd like to know that we shipped your items, and that this completes your order.

At last.

So yes, it was their fault 100%. Blaming my credit card for something they were doing wrong...

Ah well, their shipping prices (and product prices) are quite low compared to other online stores, so if I want to buy something, it will have to be amazon. I hope there aren't so many troubles with the DM Screen.

Dammit! Amazon has just delayed my order AGAIN! Now they're saying it won't ship til the end of the month and I won't get the order till August! WTF?! I'm thinking of cancelling and just paying double the price to get the books at the LGS.

Was this a gift set purchase? If so, you could have canceled it and gotten each book individually, as each is still in stock.

That's what I was sensing with mine. I canceled mine last night, had the $5 'promo discount' available yet so I added the 3 individual books to my cart. After adding it all together it was ~$57 and free 2 day shipping by using the Amazon Prime free Trial.

I got my shipping notice today and apparently I'm suppose to get it tomorrow. That added basically $3 to my original price for the Box Set.

Amazon's whole process is stupid for their pre-orders. Never doing that again.

I don't know why, but I really am attached to the idea of getting the three books with the slipcase to keep them in. When my order was delayed the first time, I ordered a copy of the PHB, which I just got yesterday.

What's this "promo discount" thing people keep talking about?

Also, keep in mind that I am in New Zealand, so I can't get free shipping or anything like that. However, even paying for expedited international shipping costs me less than going down to the LGS and buying the books there ... although I'm seriously considering doing just that at this point.

I'm going to complain to Amazon first though.

Promo discount was given when we complained to Amazon about the lack of communication and delays with our order.

And it's only $5? I'm thinking they should give me free shipping to New Zealand or something for not only delaying my order TWICE but for also sending a friend of mine here in Auckland his books even though he preordered AFTER me! WTF?!
