The other morning I ordered a book from Amazon.com. They have a new trick
where if you are not careful (I guess I wasn't) you also are enrolled in a free
shipping club for the princely sum of $79. Yikes! But just try to find a
customer service email or phone number for them; you can't. But Timothy Noah
did, and posted it on Slate. The elusive phone # is 1-800-201-7575. The nice
man there both refunded my $79 and didn't charge shipping so I wouldn't cancel
the order. While this little trick will be a short term windfall for Amazon, I
think it will hurt them in the long run. Check your credit card if you have
ordered from Amazon recently...they might have gotten you too.

control of your own destiny.
