And it came that Bebsus went along to buy stuff at Amazon. Nothing big, just for some 25 Eurodoubloons
It always worked neatly inda past, so what could go wrong? Ohhh, the human factor...
Well, first it was my mistake: I had chosen a wrong method of payment, leading to payment trouble.
However, I noticed it right after I sent out the order, but too late, too late...
This is when the fun started. Errm, the "fun" rather.
I. Bebs calls Amazon customer service
Everyone is friendly at Amazon. I get a lot of ppl understanding my trouble. I get offered another free month of A_Prime (additional to the umpteenth free trial I just started).
Yet noone is actually really able to correct the mistake I made. But no prob I hear, I could wait for the ordered stuff to arrive and pay then. For some reason, changing the method of payment after the order is out seems to a huge undertaking in the 21 century....but ok, I wait.
...And wait.
...And wait.
After two weeks of waiting with no stuff arriving, I get a mail from Amazon, asking why I didn't pay yet (seems auto-generated)
II. Bebs calls Amazon customer service (again).
Everyone is friendly at Amazon. I get a lot of ppl understanding my trouble. Ppl say my order is stuck somewhere, and I could ignore those emails asking for payment until the issue is resolved and stuff does arrive (and pay then).
After another week I get another email asking for payment.
III. Bebs calls Amazon customer service (again).
Everyone is friendly at Amazon. I get a lot of ppl understanding my trouble. Finally someone sez: oh yeah, your order is held back because no payment arrived yet
