Amazon has changed the way a lot of us shop bringing products of all kinds from all around the world right to our doorsteps. However, there will come a time when you may find you no longer need the product you've ordered, or life events happen and you will have to get the product another day. You may place an order by mistake and want to cancel it. You may be asking yourself "How do I cancel my Amazon order?" You can call Amazon Customer Service at the number here, or you can cancel your order online. Note: orders for items sold by Amazon are not charged to your credit or debit card until the item(s) has been shipped; however, items sold through a third-party vendor through Amazon may charge your card at the time you place your order.
