no problems with Amazon here. Slightly damaged packaging when her Kindle arrived iirc, but the product was fine. Apart from that....
....maybe it's a remote village issue? 
If I was being kind, yes, its that. Not that Brackley is a village, as much as some of the more toffy residents would like it to be classed as one

. Yodel have recently done a similar stunt of not delivering when promised, and attempting delivery 4 days later, with some goods from Ebuyer (in fact, that parcel still hasn't been found, but at least you can call Ebuyer, and speak to somebody who can sort it out, unlike Amazon staff who can't do anything that I can't do on their website).
I hope it is just that, as the alternative is its already been nicked, or is already in the canal. I'd waited ages for this to come into stock, as only other UK suppliers are around £100 more. This is why I am chasing them so much, as Amazon have no more stock, so can't send replacements.
