Quoted message said:you are doing good with orders I ordered and went to check status and it
stated I had no recent orders.
I realize my two cents may be a bit late, but I thought I'd add 'em anyway.
A few years ago, about 1998 as I recall, I learned of a "tributary" album of
John Denver songs by him that was released posthumously called "Forever,
John." (My mother, sister and I were John Denver fans.) I decided that it
would make great gifts for my mother and sister, so I placed an order for
two CDs via their website. I used a MasterCard-logo checking debit card to
pay for it.
Over the course of about a week and a half, I received four or five emails
stating that the order could not be processed due to insufficient card
balance. I knew this was screwy, because for each of the days they tried
charging the card, I knew I had enough money in my account!
"This is BS," I thought, when my package finally came, about a couple of
days before Christmas Eve...talk about cutting it close! I was so miffed by
my experience buying from Amazon that it became my first, last and ONLY
time. I vowed I will never buy from them again. Period.
Word to the wise: steer clear of Amazon, and buy your stuff elsewhere.
