Way, way back in early December I placed an order that got shipped to a giftee in Canada. Amazon charged me the special shipping and Export fees. I thought that was that. Done. 2 months later I get a email letting me know $3 was refunded on my visa. Export fee reduced 😕 I had no idea that was even an option. But, I’ll happily accept it. thats my mundane post for today. 🙂 Now I can hit McDonalds dollar menu for lunch. ---

No, no. That was a windfall; you need to treat yourself. That’s almost Jack in the Box money! ---

Amazon overcharged you $3 then gave it back to you months later. ---

Amazon refunded $4 to me because between the time I bought my Series 3 Sherlock DVD and the time it was shipped, the price was reduced. StG
