You just click "exchange or return" or something instead of accepting on the Amazon page.

Hemmel M. | 402 comments Don't accept until customer service tells you whether you can exchange. As long as you don't click on the downloadlink, your SS can forward the link to another friend, in case your request gets denied.

Hi Dana, I faced something similar last year. Because the gift card wasn't purchased by you, customer care can't do much. And generally, you can only buy e-books from your country's Amazon website. Would it be possible for the sender to take back the gift card and send you a new one from amazon.com?

Or as a work around, if you know someone in Canada, you could contact them to exchange it.

Hi Hemmel, I don't know the email but I always contact them through..."


a thousand thanks. Two lenghtly chats and I think I know what to do.

If you have a foreign amazon account, you can add a US address from a friend to your own addresses, and this allows you to buy ebooks on amazon.com with a foreign account.

But first, I have to visit my happy place. Where no Amazon store excists.
I hope I did not just start the confusing discussions we had previous years. But I want to help everyone here with redeeming issues.

Neha (neha298) | 22 comments Can anyone help me with gifting for a Brazilian citizen? Amazon there doesn't have gift card option and sending them paperback requires some kind of tax identification. Book depository doesn't deliver there either. I tried Kobo gift card, but the transaction keeps failing.

Was it on Amazon? Just click on something that says you want to exchange or return or something on the right side. I forget the exact wording, but it has happened to me multiple times.


Leelah🍁♋️ Orion | 14 comments Thank you Heather for the reply!

Kacey | 208 comments This is just a goodreads in general question but has anyone else experienced a glitch with goodreads where all your friends are gone? Literally my entire friends list minus 10 people just completely disappeared. I'm so bummed! I'm hoping it comes back? Anyone experienced this before?

Jenn (not Lily) | 111 comments Kacey, you're not alone. I've been seeing Wil Wheaton re-friending his massive friend list over the past 4 days in my home feed.

I’ve seen people mentioning they lost some friends, I guess I was one of the really unlucky ones because I lost literally everybody! Even people I’ve been messaging for years and we’re very close. All my friends were suddenly gone :(

M'rella (mrella) | 792 comments I am going to back up my friend list, just in case and also back up my Bookshelves. Who knows what's going to happen next? My account will disappear? Anything is possible with GRAamazon :(((
