No, really. The new harddrive I ordered from Amazon does not (or at least, shouldn't) contain 25 million people's bank account details. But possibly someone thinks it does. That would explain why it seems to have gone missing. Amazon seemingly sent it by TNT. The company that delivers mail, not the explosive. (That wouldn't really work, would it? Exploding people's packages and hoping they get thrown many miles and just land in the right place?)
So obviously someone is thinking "Hmm, looks like a harddrive. Wonder if it's got anything interesting on?" Or maybe it's just got delayed. Of course, you have to wait 3 days after the expected delivery date before complaining to Amazon. (That expected date being 6 days after it was sent, and 8 days after it was ordered). And then they'll chase it and let you know within 2 days. Good job I'm not desperate for it.
But Amazon generally seem to be quite good at sorting out problems. Never had any trouble, and things do go wrong or get lost now and then. To be expected with the amount of stuff they must be sending out.
And I've just added £28.07 to my total of free stuff (a cheque converted from $50 makes it an odd amount). Making £611.74. Which is pretty impressive. Let's see if I can get more than £700 next year.
