SNAIL-mail would be optimistic

Once upon a time, Amazon.com was actually pretty good.  They could manage to get stuff shipped out in a matter of days, and it wasn't uncommon for them to give free upgrades to Express Mail.  But that was long ago.  Now it seems like they really don't care anymore.

I ordered some books, movies and music on December 13th.  Today I checked to see if they had an estimate when my stuff would arrive.

Shipping estimate: January 24, 2008 - February 18, 2008


Riiiight...
