Amazon can't win really can they, they bring in a process like this to try to stop unscrupulous third parties claiming expensive items, and people still moan about it. 

I'd say more like I can't win actually.

Make a post, people ignore where I'm coming from with the post & make their own decision on it even though it's right there in black & white.

Then you're marked as moaning again & it's like - actually did you even bother to read? I'm trying to get the answer to a question yet you think this is just a rant & nothing else. 

Love how people like to tell me what I mean & where I was coming from when it's me who's making the post. 

Yes at the end I said it's poorly organised - because I've never had this before so didn't know the process. I expected the code on purchase or at least some kind of message on purchase to say when the code would come but neither happened. I think it's a pretty valid point although I've already said that & it seems to have been ignored. 

Actually with all due respect if you'd read the amazon website and the help pages (and the text on the Checkout screen when you bought the drive) all your questions would have been answered.

Its not a state secret, and its not "poorly organised", this has been the case on Amazon for at least the last 2 years...

Good news!

I once ordered from a different supplier that did the password thing.

Except I opened the door to the delivery driver at 7:30 AM and hadn't had the email with the code yet.

Instead of re-delivering the next day, (I got the password email about an hour later) it went back to sender!

I got a refund as I anticipated sending it out again would just repeat the experience.
