Having had to contact Amazon several times and found the people in Manila to be a waste of space, I thought I'd share how to contact Amazon in the UK.

To contact Amazon's UK Call Centre: Ring 0800 496 1081, dial 000000 to skip the cr*p, ask the person where he's located and if it’s Manila hang up and ring again. Repeat until you get the Edinburgh (or Cork) call centre. Fourth go I got a very helpful Scot.

    There is no Aberdeen contact centre, so might be waiting a while to get there!

    I've never spoken to anyone in the Philippines, it's always been an American call centre.

    The accent definitely puts them in the USA - more specifically West Coast, California. I recognise it because I used to live there :)
