Re: Weekly RoundUp 5-6-2008
Mine too - Amazon always seems to pad their standard and super-saver delivery times by a few days, either to make the more expensive options look more attractive or to avoid customer-service headaches brought on by things they can't control, such as the US Postal Service.
Jay's Movie Blog - A movie-viewing diary.
Transplanted Life: Sci-fi soap opera about a man placed in a new body, updated two or three times a week.
Trading Post Inn - Another gender-bending soap, with different collaborators writing different points of view.
"What? Since when was this an energy ball movie?" - Overheard during a screening of Takashi Miike's Dead Or Alive
"What the hell religion are you people?" - Overheard during the Captain Marvel serial at SF/29
"If I feel even one bullet hit me, I will rip your lungs out through your nostrils!" - Ron Silver as himself, "Heat Vision And Jack"

Is your order coming via UPS or the post office?

Thanks, fellas. I figured it would probably get here "on time" (that is, before the weekend)...but I got nervous when I saw that May 14th date...which they confirmed in their e-mail response.
It is being delivered via USPS.
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: Weekly RoundUp 5-6-2008
thats the star trek Scotty way of estimating things.
telling Kirk he needs 20 hours to fix the warp drive, then fixing it in 8. MIRACLE.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 5-6-2008
I just noticed that DVD Price Search is listing some $15 BDs from Fries, including Sunshine. Seems like worth a look for those who live near a Fries.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 5-6-2008
LOL. I guess I misspelled Fry's.  That's what happens when I don't get to live near one.  
BTW, who's that supposed to be in the "spoilers"??

My guess would be Diana Fries @ Hawaiian Pacific University.

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.
