You're not alone in the annoyed-Gladiator-didn't-win stakes, believe me. *rants*
And Amazon... well, I've been ordering things from them rather randomly (and with alarming regularity) for about three years now, and nothing's ever gone drastically wrong. I won't say that nothing's ever gone wrong at all, but really all that's happened is petty stuff like things were dispatched and didn't actually arrive until about a week later (I blame Royal Mail for that, though), and of course there's the 'sorry, it's out of stock' stuff you get with most places at some point.
My point? Amazon's usually quite reliable. I've had things from Amazon.co.uk, .com, .de and .fr, too, so we're not just talking UK Amazon ;)
