Well they wouldn't be pirated books if you purchased it from Amazon lol

But no, I don't pirate ebooks. I don't even pirate music lol. I do put ebooks I haven't purchased from Amazon on my Kindle though but that's perfectly legal

Screw a stick on one and they make a pretty decent flyswatter.

My loosely related anecdote.

I purchased some mail order from a different company, ended up in the same situation 2 lots of goods, but only paid for one.

Fair enough, I did the right thing, went into one of their physical stores, explained the situation and returned one set of the goods.

Unfortunately even though I had been very clear on the situation the shop explained all they could do was process them in as returns and give me a refund.

So ended with 1 lot of goods, and no monies paid... well, I tried to be honest and if they are that much of muppets then it's not my fault.

I had a similar experience with Amazon a few years ago. I bought 3 (physical) books from them. After waiting the maximum time they said it would take for me to receive them (I'm not in the US), I contacted their customer service and they sent the books again (this time by express mail), which I received.

To my surprise, a few days later I received the first order. I contacted them, explained what happened and their response was: "it would be too expensive to return the books to us, so maybe you could donate them to your local library".

I was really impressed. Most companies in my country don't offer that level of customer service.

Thanks

You're kidding, right?
