It sounds to me like they are doing everything reasonable to resolve the situation. It may be that you are right and the seller is a ripoff and taking advantage of Amazon. If that's the case, knowing how important their reputation is to them, I would be very suprised if they didn't do whatever it takes to get get your money back to you or whatever. It may also be a simple technical glitch or a big misunderstanding that will all get worked out in the end. But you have to be a little more patient dude.

I am not sure what you expect, but they aren't going to refund your money to you before it is clear the shipment isn't going to be received. And from what you have said here it's not even officially late yet.

What you are doing is the right thing. Being proactive and dealing with the CC and Amazon and letting them know there is a potential problem. All that will make it easier to get it resolved later if it turns out your fears are justified.

On a more personal level I don't really agree with you smearing Amazon's name or calling for a boycott before it's really clear they have done anything to damage you. But that's your right too I guess. It's a bit of a waste of energy though. Don't sweat the small stuff so much dude.
