Sellers from Asia will mark an item 'shipped' when all they've done is 'label created'; even when the item is not picked up by a carrier for weeks or months later; but once an item is marked 'shipped' you can't cancel the order, only return it, when you get it, maybe months later; and you can't demand a refund, until after the shipment due date, which is again maybe months later; in the meantime Amazon has had your money (to play with) for months; so when a shipment's due date is more than a month away, beware. And there is no way to complain about this practice to Amazon. Why do all this pointless shipping back and forth of items from Asia that are no longer wanted but not yet shipped (for real), ie picked up by a carrier?

After months of no charges, AL charged me 24.99 through PayPal. I asked PP to investigate and reject as unauthorized but PP stated unable bcs a recurring charge. I called AL to inquire and cancel but their recording states 'phone service not included in my subscription', I tried to log on to cancel but repeatedly got error message, with no password reset possible (until suddenly hours later). I received an email from AL later that night stating that I had an automatic renewal silver membership (not free) good 'til 2018 - when I sent an email replying that I had never agreed to any of that, it was returned- undeliverable. Seriously?!

I received that error message when trying to 'check out' on a shopping site, using google chrome. I then tried the site on yahoo internet explorer, where I got a pop-up that I couldn't get past claiming my computer had been hacked etc. and to call this # which I did and let a 'senior diagnostic tech' remote access my computer, background noises sounded like a telemarketer, he finally claimed I needed to buy software to fix the problem; what tech does that,? Red flag up. I told him I already had McAfee and needed to think about it. I was totally fooled. What a scam.
