First, I'm not a fan. Generally check Ebay long before them.
And I've just been proved right.

Got some software which recommended hardware to go with it. And a link for
it to Amazon UK.

Ordered it up.

Then it hit me it was coming from the US - my mistake for not realising
this.

Checked Ebay and found the identical item as UK stock. 5% more expensive,
but 48 hour delivery included. Not wanting to wait, bought that.

So less than an hour after ordering from Amazon UK (for something stocked
in the US) I tried to cancel. Not possible - already on its way.

It has just arrived. 8 weeks after paying for it.

To return, I have to pay the carriage costs and 20% will be deducted off
any refund for 're-stocking'. That is assuming it arrives back there in
perfect condition. Which would mean paying additional for insurance.

That is the last time I'll use Amazon for anything.

So that basically you're going to delibeately make like difficult
for yourself in the future, as a punishment fot not reading Amazon's
T&C's. Such that you've ended up paying 25% more for something than
you needed to have done, plus carriage. Twenty five percent extra !
Although knowing your luck you'll probably bung it on eBay and end
up showing a profit.

All the fault of "someone else"...
