apologies for not being involved for a couple of days = Amazon decided to clobber my account - OK I appreciate the concern that it might have been hacked  but they then demanded 2 level security - one of which had to be Phone --- our area is notorious for bad reception - it averagely takes 36 hours to guarantee receiving an SMS message which is of no value if a number is posted and is only available for 10 minutes.... so I couldn't oblige them with 2nd level - the only other method offered was via phone app ??when my phone doesn't have reliable connectivity?? --- so.... I had to speak very severely to 2 different line managers before they would restore me... one of the zaniest answers with which I was more than a little annoyed is "we have logged you in - do not log out and do not clear cookies or cache on you machine and you will remain permanently logged in" even a bear of little brain know that that is a recipe for disaster so I demanded a written guarantee that they would be totally responsible for my security.... that seemed to bring them to their senses.
It isn't as if I am a new customer of theirs, I have more than 20 years of orders with them
