Ian,

Sorry to hear about your case.

I don't have much to say but do have one thing to say:

I find it rather, well, odd that anyone should "plan to be a lifelong customer." Under what social obligation is there that any customer should be or ought to be a lifelong customer? If we believe that we should be a lifelong customer to a corporation, in which western ideology has made into the likes of a person with rights and values, then we are falling for a belief that is untenable.

As it seems to be in your case, you invest emotions and a relationship to a non-being entity but Amazon does not invest in you the same way. But, Amazon's corporate managers do want you to believe that Amazon is a being that will also investment in you. It is but falsity. Don't fall for it.
