I order an item on Amazon that has not yet shipped. Amazon has since dropped the price by $20. Do I cancel and re-order or is there a simpler way to get the lower price?
contact customer service they will refund the difference.

I just cancel and reorder. Easy and done.

37K+ posts since 2001, and you had to ask this? wow.
Both are acceptable and will likely get you the same result.
Canceling is probably faster because all you need to do is click a few links.
you cannot cancel an order preparing for shipment.
You can reject the shipment when it arrives, which returns it to the Amazon warehouse for an immediate refund. Not always an option for everyone, but still a viable alternative I've used multiple times.
This also means someone has to be home.

.... In what world is it easier to order an additional unit, reject shipment on the first and wait for the second to arrive as opposed to calling Amazon customer service and having them refund the difference, which they will do every time, without fail?

In what world did I ever suggest any of this?
I simply offered another method to cancelling a shipment which has already been shipped.
Curious reply..
Well, considering the OP's questions was literally "is there a simpler way to get the lower price," your advice seems... wrong. It's objectively not simpler, so it's not a great response to the question we were all discussing.
Or, even better, instead of making a bunch of asinine connections in your head and then attempting to automatically apply them to a scenario just to make your faux outrage somewhat tangible, you could see that I even quoted EXACTLY what I was replying to, and then you'll see just how silly you're being.
But, all this assumes you can crack a double-digit IQ and have at least a third grade reading comprehension, so I could be wrong on that.
The person you were responding to was replying on topic to the idea that the simplest answer to the OP's question is to cancel the shipment; it can't be canceled at this stage, so it's not an answer suitable to the OP. Your reply furthered the line of thinking of canceling the package, but since the OP is actually interested in receiving the item, it doesn't actually pertain to his situation. You added additional complexity where it wasn't needed and then insulted me when I pointed it out. Learn how to follow a thread before you insult the intelligence of the people participating in it.
The difference between us is I'm not competing. I was merely trying to proffer a small snippet of contribution to a very specific question, and your inability to realize that and subsequent decision to bucket me into some long convoluted thought process which you then provided the rest of us as literal text-vomit speaks for itself.
Though I do sincerely apologize for the IQ jibe. I legitimately thought you'd take it in stride, and not personally. Not intended to work that way, I thought we were being more light-hearted. Text inference is a bitch. =(
