          The utterly wrong item was just delivered by DPD (not Evri). A single CD "Love and Death Between Here & Lost" "10th Anniversary Edition". Return and refund are about to be initiated along with a strong complaint.

                Well done.
                Will you dance upon the CD remnants or will it away to the charity shop?

                    However, Amazon have offered to price match for my new order! We will see how that goes, but if it works, a big thumbs up to Amazon's customer service from me.​

                      Just had a delivery [15:07] of "Love and Death" - so how do I get my refund? [Not showing as delivered, yet.]

                      Did indeed come via UPS.

                      What was that all about, anyway?

                        Just go to your Amazon order, via your Amazon account, click on "Return Items" and follow the instructions. You will be offered a choice of a refund to your Amazon account or to your card account (with the claim that the former is quicker). I opted for a refund to my credit card. All down to an error in their ASIIN codes, it seems.

                          I nearly always go for the refund to my credit card, but once or twice recently I have come up against a question "Do you always check that the refund has happened?" Does this mean that they are hoping that some people won't check, so they don't do the refund?

                          I'm still not sure if I can click the button for the refund if the status is still showing as "not yet delivered" - but my guess is that I can. There are some peculiar anomalies about Amazon's online sites, and its updating. In the limit there's probably the option of phoning up - which I'd done before. and AFAIK Amazon customer service is usually pretty good - though in one case for a faulty item I had to negotiate quite hard as I was told to take it to a post office or depot, and they'd give me something like £3.50 to cover the carriage. Given that the carriage was in fact closer to £20 I fought hard about that one, but eventually they gave in and paid the full cost of the return - though it was still very inconvenient.

                          I have a couple of other Amazon related comments/queries - but I'll only mention one here. In the last few days I've had a few telephone messages about my Prime account. I have ignored them. I think they are a scam trying to get me to update or amend my details by making a phone call back to the "originator". Am I [probably] correct?

                            I have suspicion that younger son may be interested in what I assume will be my copy. I think he likes Korn, which was a connected band.
