Angry Not very honest!
Hi all

I bought a Kindle from Amazon, but it did not arrive. I complained & got them to re-send. I now have 2, but have only paid for 1! Can I set up a new account for free? Can I use the 2nd Kindle for anything?

Thanks

Roxton.

So... a company actually had decent customer service and sent out another costly item to replace the first, which was actually just caught up in the shipping system, and you're going to reward them by burning them?

Wonderful.

Call Amazon and ask for a UPS pickup on the second one. In the US, it's 866-321-8851.

Good question. And the thread title is a self-description or what?

This one's a no-brainer. Send one back.

It astonishes me that anyone would be dishonest enough to even ask the question.

It shouldn't even be a question. Call amazon and they will give you a label to return it,.

What kind of unethical nitwit even asks the question? Someone asked me once what excuses I used to get a "sickie". When asked, he explained a sickie was a day off sick when you weren't sick. He was shocked that I thought there was something wrong with that. At our local university a survey found that 76% of the students did not consider copying off someone else's paper to be cheating.

A man was explaining how he gets free cross-country bus rides by losing a suitcase that wasn't really checked. When I told him he was a crook he said, "You think you're so much better than everyone else."

"Not at all. Certainly, better than you, though."

It astonishes me, Harry, that you think everyone shares our moral values. I'm more surprised when someone does the right thing than when they consider doing the wrong thing. American culture revolves and wraps around "me".
