Amazon Shipping - How Lame
So on December 28th, I ordered 3 iTunes gift cards from Amazon
with my $40 gift card bonus from work, and it has finally
shipped. What really sucks is that the first round of ship
dates came and gone, and so they bumped it out a week.
Yesterday, I shot an email to them saying how unfortunate it
is that they cannot fulfill thier orders in a timely fashion.
They, however, gave me a sob story that the iTunes gift cards
were backordered and they didn’t know when they were getting
some in…okay, they’re gift cards – geezus, its not like I’m
buying 3 42” plasma tvs or something! So, they finally
responded and told me they were upgrading my shipping to 2 day
priority from my free shipping that would take 3–5 days. Well,
my items finally got shipped…late today (Friday). Which means,
it won’t actually go out until Monday – why? Well, 2 day
shipping doesn’t get picked up on weekends, so my 2 day
shipping is going to take 4–5 days, and so we’re back at the
beginning of this vicious cycle except for the fact that I
know my gift cards are on their way.
