I've placed two orders recently from Borders.com (with a gift certificate-NOT one of my usual vendors) and have had small shipping delays.

First order of 6 titles made in middle of April for pre-ordered titles in Middle of May. These didn't get shipped out until Wed. (day after street date). When I called to see what the problem was they told me that Express shipping orders go out the door before Standard ones do, so it would go out a day later. Excuse me, but aren't orders supposed to be shipped in the order of when they were placed--not the type of shipping requested?

Second problem was for a newly-released title that was "in stock." I placed the order on Wed. and as of Friday it still had not shipped.

I have placed on-line orders with enough vendors to expect that they ship in-stock items within 48 hours of placing the order. Or am I being unreasonable?

Anyone else have these kinds of shipping delays with Borders?
