Official response from amazon about refusing delivery:

If you still don't want the "Xbox 360 Arcade" when it arrives, please refuse the shipment. Refusing the shipment allows you to return it without having to arrange for return shipping. We'll refund you in full, including shipping charges, when we receive the returned package.

When the package arrives, please tell the delivery driver you're refusing the package. If the order is delivered while you aren't home, you can contact the carrier for instructions on refusing a package.

To contact amazon by phone, use this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/co...type=phone
click CALL ME and they will call you immediately, no waiting in line.
Or they have the direct phone number there too.
Here's the email link:

A number of people have reported better results through email than calling, but you may want to try both

If you actually had a valid gold box item in your checkout and paid for it and cleared the box to receive $0.01 promotional gift balance applied to the order (or somehow didn't receive it) then there are reports of people sending an online message/email to customer support and getting it added after the fact so that they can get the gift card.
