How do you cancel an order on amazon?

I want to cancel an item BEFORE it ships to my house. I no longer need it.
I don't see the option under 'orders'.

I see the item, but do not see the option to cancel...

Yes i've already googled it...

If it’s coming from an independent seller and not from Amazon distribution you might have to wait until it’s received and send it back. The option to cancel if available is usually right there in the order status.
