The only thing that makes me NOT lose hope is that I managed it once last month with a DVD order. But now everything's haywire. One day the same book CAN be sent and the next day.......NOT. The problem is the whole process is de-humanized. Even sending an email via the help section sends you in circles. It's the same with banks. NO personalised service online or via email.......I had to phone in my updated address from abroad on a bad line, hoping they got it down right ....simply because there is no email route for that. Made me feel VERY insecure. Back to Amazon.....If they want to cut down on customers they should SAY SO!!! [btw why is a secondhand book's postage more???] I'm in the middle of the same nonsense right now! The only thing that makes me NOT lose hope is that I managed it once last month with a DVD order.
