Supply as much information as You Can – As you go through the guided contact procedure, try to give as much details as you can. It will help the representative to accurately define the actual problem and treat it accordingly.
Exercise Patience and Courtesy – Everyone has the tendency to get all aggravated when something doesn’t go well, especially an expensive order from an internet company. When dealing with them, have in mind that Amazon did not directly cause your problem; either the courier service, or their shipping department, or the reseller (if you purchased from one).

If you purchased from a reseller, get in touch with them too – In fact, contacting the reseller first before Amazon’s customer service department may work better.
