AMAZON SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered two new computers via amazon.com (thank you tax refund!) last night. I paid for 1 day shipping so we'd have them tomorrow. I ordered them through amazon for several reasons. Apple price locks, so the computers wouldn't be any cheaper anywhere else, but amazon wouldn't have sales tax, and they had a rebate and I get next day shipping for $4 b/c I pay a yearly fee for cheap shipping (I shop through them a lot). Also, I have an amazon cc, so I'd get double rebate points. So it would be about $500 cheaper than buying it anywhere else. Enough savings that we got extra ram and I got a tablet and still saved money.
So, my cc company calls last night to verify the rather large charge ($3500) considering I usually only charge a dollar or two to the iTunes store. Cool! I appreciate that they are looking out for me. Honeslty, I really do. However, the charge was still declined.
Fast forward to now, when I've cancelled and recreated the order 5 times and resubmitted my cc info at least 10 times (not exaggerating) for each of those 5 orders. I've talked to amazon.com customer service once, and my cc people 6 times (the first 2 automated). While everyone has been really nice, my card is still being declined!!!!!!!!! According to the cc people my credit is so open I could charge a small pacific island, but amazon keeps telling me it's declined.
Grrrrrrrr!!!!!! And we are gettign this massive snow storm tomorrow and it would be a great day to spend playing with my new computer (in between snow sledding with Spencer in the yard!). Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't get the computers?
