Help Me Understand Amazon!!
Okay I ordered one book last Wednesday, 10 September and today looked at the order in the hopes of finding a tracking number so I'd know when to pop over to my post office to check my box. To my utter surprise, they show a shipping range of 26 September to 6 October. I didn't think it might not be available.
Did you check free shipping?

I agree.
There were a few times when it said it would ship on the 6th for example and I would actually get it on the 6th Sometimes those things happen.

I canceled a book coming from Canada that I ordered the beginning of this month because Amazon said it would be delivered between October 20-November 26! Um no. The seller wasn't entirely happy with me tho - said that he could have gotten the book there this month, that Amazon puts those dates in willy nilly. I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, now I see that you can't add more items once the order is placed, despite the first items not shipping. No big deal, but they could change that bit. *shrugs*
I managed to find the map I was seeking here on Amazon US (the last place I thought to look of course) and had hoped to add it to the previous order since it hadn't shipped and hopefully save some money. The transaction for the map has already hit my card, but not the book.
No, it's not a new book or anything I've pre-ordered. It's one of the Horrible Histories books I mentioned in a thread on the old site.
I don't think I will be ordering from Amazon again unless absolutely necessary.
