It's been twice now I've received a shipping notice stating complimentary shipping upgrade, which used to mean delivery in 2-3 days. In both cases it's been 4 days and still waiting.

Maybe they have a new distribution center which takes extra travel time? Or is simply a case of "Lost in Mail"?

That's not amazon.com's fault, blame whoever is sending your package through customs.

Yes. They claimed they were going to send something USPS first class and they upgraded it to Next Day Shipping.

Damn those dirty bastards!

I ordered Stephen King's On Writing book last Tuesday, October 3, 2000 and got a shipping notice of a comlimentary upgrade from Standard Shipping to 2-3 Day US Priority Shipping. Well, this Tuesday, October 10, 2000 will be the fifth business day IF I receive it. All my Standard or First Class Shipping's almost always arrive in 2 days. Thanks for the useless upgrade Amazon.

I ordered something that stated 2-3 days, but it's been a week and I've yet to get any confirmation. Anyone ever had such an experience? What should I do about it?

Cancel the order or wait. I've been waiting on G3 for a month, even though it says 24 hours. Also, Leon replacement says 24 hours, yet it's been six days since.

Well, on one order, they said 1-2 weeks. 2 weeks later, I get an e-mail wondering if I still wanted b/c it will be another 1-2 weeks. Then 2 weeks later, I got another e-mail asking for permission for another 1-2 weeks. I agreed again, and guess what happened in another 2 weeks?

So 8 weeks later, still no DVD in stock ... so I cancelled. Why did they say 1-2 weeks in the first place? Are they that confident about filling orders?

Yeah, some of you are wondering which DVD this was ... it was Chaplin starring Robert Downey, Jr.
