Amazon UK terminates Free shipping to Europe

[Nisei]

Wow, this must be the most customer unfriendly mail I've ever received from a big company:

As you've previously had orders delivered to The Netherlands, we wanted to let you know that our delivery options to The Netherlands are changing. From April 3, 2014, FREE Super Saver Delivery will no longer be available. You'll have the option of Standard or Priority Delivery for orders being delivered to The Netherlands.

More information about international delivery rates and times can be found here.

We strive to provide our European customers the greatest possible selection at low prices and hope to see you again soon.

Regards,

Customer Service Department

I've received this on April 4, so the day AFTER they decided to stop offering free shipping to several European countries. No reason, no apology, nothing.
The Amazon UK forum has a (long and growing) topic about it. Probably the most stupid thing they could have done, certainly the way they did it.
