ORDER CANCELLED BUT BOOK ALREADY IN THE POST
My apologies if this topic has already been address but I can't find my exact query. I took a book order to the Post office ( paid Royal mail postage- not through Amazon) and by the time I got back the order was cancelled. I looked through the Amazon help pages and could not find out quite what to do in this circumstance, so I marked as shipped and then thought I ought to contact the buyer to apologise and explain. The contact options had been blanked out, so I contacted seller support who referred me to customer services, who sent me back to seller support. It is obvious to me now that I should have marked as dispatched before I actually sent it, but we very rarely get cancellations and this has never arisen before. ( mea culpa). Does anyone know how to contact a buyer once the item has been marked as dispatched without incurring the wrath of Amazon??? Thanks....

After a certain amount of time - a customer can't cancel an order - only request a cancellation.
All you need to do is, well nothing really.
I assume you have marked the order as shipped. The customer should be notified that the order has been shipped. You can reject the cancellation request (if that is still a thing?) but thats it.
There is no wrath to incur, as you've done nothing wrong.

Hello! @Seller_uNEFJCO9ASCRo
This is Roberto. Thank you for using the forums, I wanted to follow up here and confirm the information provided by @Seller_ZJhFeE3tNKzfh and @Seller_40ozsHlGqPuEL is correct. (Thank you both!)
In addition to that, I also wanted to confirm that, If you already shipped, but haven’t confirmed dispatch, you must confirm dispatch and then contact the buyer via the Buyer-Seller Messaging service and advise them to either refuse the shipment or initiate a return request through their Amazon account.
Messages about cancellation are considered a critical message, and will be delivered to a buyer even if they have opted out of non-critical messages. Please use the steps below if you consider you need to communicate a critical message to the buyer on this:
Send a critical message to a buyer
Hope this helps.

Sorry @Roberto_Amazon One should never ask a buyer to refuse a parcel and RTS it, it can cause all sorts of issues. Better to return it through the system generating a return label.
and advise them to either refuse the shipment
