Yes, you can cancel an Amazon order that has been dispatched, but the process is more immediate. Once an item is dispatched, the window to cancel is very short. Here's how: Go to 'Your Orders', find the order, and select 'Request Cancellation'. If this option is unavailable, the package can still be refused upon delivery or returned using Amazon's Online Return Center. Refunds or exchanges are processed once the item is received back by Amazon.
