So. Order ships next day (5-5-08). With standard shipping, order is supposed to arrive in US within 3 to 5 business days. The way I figure it, that means I should have it no later than Saturday 5-10 (or even Monday 5-12 in the worst case scenario).
But amazon is gleefully telling me I should expect to receive the shipment on 5-14. That's eight days (if only counting weekdays).
Is that normal? Two e-mails on the subject have yielded no comprehensible answer. |
I never bother with the shipping and delivery estimates. My orders always ship and arrive before those dates. I always choose Free Shipping and my orders always arrive through USPS, my last delivery arrived 3 days after Amazon shipped it but I've also have had orders take up to nine days. I don't care as long as I get it. I also get a chuckle out of people worrying about short delivery time frames, when it takes from 11-21 days for me to get mine from the time I place the order until I get it. . I pay by MOs.
