Can I Cancel an Amazon Order After It's Shipped?

Yes You can cancel an Amazon order after it's shipped. How do I know? Because I just did it with 100% success!

Here's what happened to me:

On Wednesday, Amazon emails me and was like, "Hey, man, we're gonna send you your Subscribe and Save stuff now, you should check it out and make sure you still want it." (I paraphrasing). And I was like, "Ah yeah, I will will."

And then I didnt

And then a week later they were like, "Hey, man, we're all set with the 25 pounds of organic flour and case of Clorox wipes you did not say you did not want." Should be there tomorrow! "

And I was like, "Ohhhh noooo."

Immediately after getting the email, I popped on Amazon.com and the frantically clicked Cancel items from your Orders screen. Amazon said that the items were already on their way and that they'd try their best to cancel it and let me know if they were successful.A few days later, I got an email confirming that yes, they were successful and they'd be refunding me the full amount

Yet another mistake that was 100% my fault fixed by Amazon!
So, how does that work? How do you get a refund for items already shipped from Amazon?
If you go Amazon's help site, there is a page all about canceling Amazon orders. At the way, way down, there is a little note about canceling items that have shipped. It says:

If your order is shipped directly from Amazon.com and can not be modified, you may refuse the package or return it using our Online Returns Center.

When I clicked the Cancel items button on my already shipped order, I'm guessing amazon contacted UPS and told them to send the package back to Amazon. I must've done it enough

If I did not have this, I had another option: refusing the package. That is, when the package arrives, straight up not accepting it and making the delivery person take it back.

This is hard to do, since the UPS guy usually rings my doorbell, drops the package, and runs like the dickens. You can not refuse a package online unless first delivery attempt is made. But if you are home and manage to catch the UPS guy at your door and holler at him and he will tell you to take the package back, he will Then it'll be shipped back to Amazon and you'll get your money back.

Note that this policy works for items fulfilled by Amazon. For items completed by third-party sellers, your mileage may vary.

So, give up You have got almost nothing to lose Me, I had already resolved to just say a million pretzels with my case of flour when it got here. The fact that it was returned and refunded was a pleasant surprise. Hopefully, you're lucky as me
