Multimillion dollar logistics marvel, my ass.

Remember that package from Amazon that shipped earlier this week, and how it was supposed to arrive sometime between July 3rd and August 17th?

Yeah, it arrived today. That puts it a full five days before their earliest estimation in a six week range.

Thank you for your email to Hammacher Schlemmer. I do apologize for the delay
on your order. It appears that the item was held up in our warehouse and did
not ship. I have put a stop shipment on the order and have replaced it. Your
new order number is Hxxxxxxx. I will follow up on this order to make sure that
the order does ship. I do again apologize for the delay and any inconvenience.
If you have any further questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you.

I'm not holding my breath.

Meanwhile... I have been waiting over a month for two books from Amazon. It doesn't help when one of the books is listed that it is in-stock but really isn't. Grrrr.
