ORDER BUT YOU MAY, OR MAY NOT RECEIVE IT

I live in a rural village in the Karoo. On-line shopping is the best way to buy. It saves long trips [5 hours return] to the nearest town. So, when I place and pay for an order, I expect that the items which I have ordered will be delivered. Well, not with Amazon South Africa. I placed and paid for my Amazon South Africa order 3 days ago expecting it to be delivered tomorrow. This morning, I was informed that all items which I ordered were cancelled. What a waste of time!
