I am sorry if I came off sounding condescending Atrocities. I did not intend too. And I meant no offense with the comment about your mom. That was my clumsy attempt to lighten your mood with a little humor.

I have been ripped off before. And it totally pisses you off, I know it. However, I have also had situations where I felt I was being taken advantage of at first, and it turned out to be simply a misunderstanding.

I bought a computer on Ebay one time, and after getting my money, the seller disapeared and I could not get any contact from him. I was not thrilled at all considering I had potentially lost several hundred bucks down a deep dark hole. But it turned out ok in the end as the seller hadn't really skipped, he was just having some problems with his ISP preventing him from getting any emails. I ended up getting everything I paid for and was completely satisfied.

I am hoping that in your case it turns as well, but if it does not, by all means keep after Amazon. I will be very suprised in the end if they don't make sure you aren't out anything but a little temporary inconveinence.
