Finally an ages-old Amazon order arrives
Nov. 7th, 2017 08:52 pmOnce upon a time, I ordered this book: Commodore: The Amiga Years. Actually, it was this kickstarter but I don't like kickstarters any more. (It's all the risk of investing in a start-up without even the reward of owning part of the company). I was happier to order it via Amazon. However, due to the kickstarter nature, delivery got delayed, and delayed, and delayed... eventually, Amazon canceled the whole order. Somehow there was a very similar replacement book (which is the one I linked to above). That was in September 2016, a year and 2 months ago. And it got delayed and delayed, and then a date was announced, and retracted again. Meanwhile I had moved to Berlin, so I tried to change the shipping address. Somehow the Amazon website doesn't like to change shipping addresses of back-ordered goods. I just managed to do it during the one day when they thought they knew it was finally in stock.
And now I finally have this book! I can't even look up when I placed the canceled order but it must be 2 or 3 years ago... so miracles sometimes do happen.
