Does anyone know if I can place an order at any of the sites below and be able to cancel it (without a cancellation fee) as soon as I receive the receipt (before the order ships)?

The sites are:
  • Amazon.com
  • Buy.com
  • CircuitCity.com
  • CompUSA
  • TigerDirect.com

I don't have that option, it'll either be left at the door, or will be signed-for my someone else.

Obviously he needs a receipt.
What the receipt is for is a different question...

Don't order from an amazon prime account.  Those orders can go into processing right away.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Good call. I plead the fifth as to why, it's a bit dodgy.

Just made an order from my prime account.  It went into processing in 30 seconds.

I think from a regular account using amazon fsss you'll have plenty of time to cancel though.

For some reason I have two accounts associated with my email address. Same address, different password.

One is prime the other isn't. So you're saying order from Amazon (non prime) and cancel immediately? Am I better off canceling online (IIRC Amazon has that option), or over the phone?

You can cancel online as long as it hasn't gone into processing.

מענין לענין באותו ענין -

You can order from target when trying to fill up a shopping cart to reach free $50 shipping and then cancel part of the order before it ships.
