Amazon just cancelled my order

Well, if nothing else, as this is going to sound like an attack on Amazon, I will say that they really put some time into finding my book. So it’s not really a negative post. But anyway…

I got an email this morning from Amazon informing me that they had cancelled an order I made because they were unable to source it. I placed the order, well, I don’t know because it’s disappeared from my account but it was somewhere around the end of November / beginning of December last year. 5 months ago.

I was annoyed by the “this may take us 4 weeks to ship it” thing on the page but I thought what the hell, I’ll order it and wait it out. Of course, now I know it would actually take a little longer than that. Indeed forever, as they can’t actually get hold of it.

I have actually forgotten about it most of the time, I only really remember it when the send me the occasional email saying “we’re still trying to source this for you but it’s going to take x amount more time to find it.” Still, now it’s cancelled I guess that’s a good thing considering the amount of debt I’m in.
