@AmazonHelp But how do you cancel items that have clearly got stuck in your system? I try to cancel it every day, never lets me. So I guess you keep my money and I dont get what I paid for? Can you actually provide support or do you just give people links to existing help pages?

[Tom Blanchard @tomjblanchard]

@AmazonHelp I ordered something on the 8th of July and (despite being in stock) you still havent shipped it. You wont even let me cancel it and keep making up estimated delivery dates. How is this acceptable?

[Tom Blanchard @tomjblanchard]

@AmazonHelp I'm sorry, is this actually supposed to be customer service? Just order another one? How do I get my money back?! You cant just charge people and refuse to provide the goods paid for...

[Tom Blanchard @tomjblanchard]

@AmazonHelp It was ordered from YOU. And I cant cancel it because you claim to be "just about to ship it". How exactly does it takes 3 weeks to do that?

[Tom Blanchard @tomjblanchard]

@AmazonHelp It is in stock right now and has been since I ordered it.... How are you going to fix it?

[Tom Blanchard @tomjblanchard]

. @TalkTalk I've been trying to cancel my broadband with you for a month. Despite being told 3 times it was cancelled you've just taken another month's payment....

Wondered if my home sensor network picked up the Tonga eruption pressure wave, I reckon they did!

@samstudio8 Turns out all those abstraction layers that allow you to pretend you've got one really big computer have a cost
