I am not happy with AMAZON .co.uk- a year ago I ordered Brideshead Revisited 1981 and it came in the DVC format which is not compatible with North American videos-I returned it and received what I thought was a VHS but to my dismay it was still in the DVC format- so I returned it once more with no response from Amazon.co.uk-So many Canadian dollars later I am still without BRIDESHEAD- Any suggestions?

You probably received the PAL (UK) format instead of the NTSC (USA/Canada) format: which I would expect if you were ordering from a UK store!
Amazon Canada also has Brideshead Revisited to order – http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000067D29/ – so does Amazon.com amazoncom:B000067D29 .
I can’t really offer advice on the problem you are having with Amazon responding to your emails though.
Re my former letter about Brideshead Revisited I wish to say that since then I have been fully reimbursed for the videos plus postage involved – I am most grateful to Amazon.uk. for their attention in this matter Sybil Crawford
