When my cat bought me a book on Amazon

My complaint letter to amazon.com

Dear sir:

Something sound incredible but did happen. On Nov. 22, my cat bought a book for me accidentally! The transaction number is (D01-4023066-98*********) and my Amazon id is w***********@gmail.com

I read the sample of The Song of The Dodo on my Kindle DXG and reached the last page when I walked away. At the very moment, my cat jumped to my desk and put his paws on the kindle. The next day I found that the whole book had been downloaded to my device. The purchase could not be made either by me or by my wife, as I had no intention to buy this book and no one else use my kindle under my roof. The only reasonable suspect is the cat! I know it sounds crazy but I am telling the truth.

I wonder if you could kindly refund me for this accidental purchase? I promise I will delete The Song of The Dodo from all my devices and never read the full version until I buy it voluntarily.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours Sincerely

A customer from China

Ten hours later, I got an e-mail from amazon.

The Reply from Amazon.com

Hello,

I understand that you have purchased “The Song of the Dodo” accidentally and want to refund for this order. As a goodwill gesture, I’ve requested a refund of $14.99 for “The Song of the Dodo.” If the item is still on your Kindle (or a Kindle-compatible device), please delete that copy. After the refund is issued, you will no longer be able to access this item.

Refunds are issued to the payment method used to make the original purchase and usually complete within two to three business days.

You can also cancel accidental purchases yourself for a short time after the order is placed. Simply select the “Purchased by Accident? Cancel this Order” option on the order confirmation page displayed on your Kindle. You can also sample many Kindle books for free by clicking the “Send sample now” button when shopping in the Kindle Store. We’ll send an excerpt to your Kindle wirelessly or you can also view them on any Kindle application.

I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?

  1. […] 几天后,新的Kindle顺利寄到手,看到我的账户里这台新机器的售价+关税+邮费和上次买的一模一样:254.08美元,只是这回的费用我一分钱不支付罢了。于是现在就有了两台Kindle了,以后再也不用家里领导争Kindle了……旧机器的待机时间只能三四天,新机器当然是良好地使用着。无独有偶,博主王佩的经历也验证了亚马逊的购物体验:猫买书,人退款。要是碰上国内其它商家,不被骂得狗血喷头才怪——猫买人买,只要不是我奸商买的就算你买的,想退款,门都没有。何况连土木坛子刚看到此博文时,都以为是搞笑呢!以前不是有过猫吃了手机卡的事嘛。 […]

    Wooow, this sounds incredible! I am a Amazon.cn fans and I like their services very much.

  15. 混混与睡 says:

    相信亚马逊要在中国放这电子内容的话,也会提供这样的退款服务。

  16. 默默的倾听着 says:

    不得不赞一下,我想在国内,这根本不可能的。想要退款,至少得跟你墨迹一会。
