A Question on Amazon Shipping
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:47:42 pm »

I wish there was a Little Questions thread for the bottom board so I don't have to post and entire topic. ._.

I just ordered something on Amazon for 1-day shipping. This may seem like a dumb question but does it come tomorrow or the day after? I ask because I got a book earlier this year for 2 day shipping and it came on day three of waiting.

My understanding of shipping:

1) Order too late and they'll ship tomorrow.

2) They may take 1-2 business days to 'find' your item and box it for shipping...  before it leaves warehouse.  That is a disclaimer to cover their own arses.

3) Depends on how 'good' UPS/FedEx/USPS shipping service is in your area.  Some areas will take longer to ship to.

4) Umm...  There is also a Next Day shipping.

5) My bet is on day after tomorrow.

I don't see a Next Day shipping option. ',=\
Alright, I'll hope for the best it's the day after tomorrow.

It's one day after it gets out the door to the shipping processor.

Ah, on the UPS and FedEx websites, they have Overnight and Next Day delivery. 
But its still easier in the long haul to call it by the more ambiguous term, 1 Day.

It will take between 2-4 weeks, hope you don't need it any time soon.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?
