Default My current Amazon order is undeliverable


Wondered why the postman didn't deliver my order, so went into my Amazon
account only to see a note apologising for the order not being deliverable
and refund in progress.

That's a new one on me, unless the van has been hijacked complete with the
coffee strainer I ordered.

Damage in transit? Would Royal Mail return a package to sender rather
than delivering it if it was obviously damaged?

A couple of weeks ago an Amazon order, for a single item, didn't turn
up and the website said that it would be delivered in the next couple
of days. It didn't, so I initiated a refund, which triggered an
apology and an explanation that it had been lost in transit, and then
ordered a replacement.
The replacement arrived, then a couple of days later the original did,
too.

I had that too with John Lewis. I ordered a Christmas present for my
cousin in Denmark. They corrupted the delivery address so badly that
I pointed this out to them. They sent a replacement. Both turned up.
I told JL who said my cousin should retain both. I think she thought
Christmas had come early!

I had a monthly subscribe and save order for Vitamin D tablets for 3
years, until last October when all of a sudden it was delayed and then
cancelled ... rinse and repeat until last week.

What irritated me was that the tablets were still available, but *Amazon*
(not the wholesaler) had hiked the price to exclude S&S customers.

Not much I can do, but it's noted.

Oh, and they lied about it - not knowing I had been in contact with the
supplier.


Well, you could do something. Simply claim the difference between the
best price now and the S&S price? Though I guess it's not worth the trouble.

I received something I had not ordered. I rang
Amazon and was told to keep the goods! Lazy delivery driver.

Has happened to me a couple of times. Both times seemed to be a screw-up
with the delivery process which involved sending the order to distant
parts of the UK

Yes, my mother had Qty 6 Swiss to UK power adaptors delivered

Really weird, she doesn't have, nor ever did have an Amazon account, yet
they were addressed to her !

I do sometimes get stuff delivered to her, from my account. However,
there was no sign of the items in my order history !

There was no way to enquire, because she doesn't have an account !

I eventually flogged them on ebay !!

Could you use these to plug a europlug into the UK mains, or is it the
other direction?

I've had a similar thing with other non Amazon related supplier. Ended
up with 2 woolly jumpers which they didn't want back so sold one on
ebay.

Similarly with Currys. Ordered a new oven to be delivered to a different
address. I know I filled it in correctly because I used post Code and
address look up.
The delivery address which appeared on the confirmation was
1st line of billing address
Postal Town from delivery address
Post Code of billing address.

SO a non existing address.
Contacted them immediately but they refused to correct it even though
the address was invalid. Insisted I had to cancel and reorder, but it
would take 10 working days for my credit card to be refunded from the
1st order whilst the 2nd order would be added. They couldn't quite get
it that the same thing might happen again and again.

So I cancelled it and ordered from AO.com on price match.
