Is there a way to see if your Amazon order has shipped yet? Scelly reminded me about shipping trackers and now I need to know.

Think so. I remember obsessively staring at the order for my tablet last year.

but also to serve as a deterrent for companies to do something that puts their customers at risk.

So now we have to buy plastic kitchen knives because real ones are too dangerous?

Well, to be honest, knives either come sheathed, boxed in a solid holder, or not pre-sharpened, so even there there's a margin of built-in safety. Also, a knife is specifically intended and designed to cut things. Coffee is not inherently designed to scald butterfingered customers.
And it is, indeed, too much of a legal risk to facilitate reckless injury when numbskulls get involved in the equation.

Case in point: Firecrackers in my country. The only ones that can be legally purchased without a licence anymore are stuff with the explosive equivalent of a dry grasshopper. I can find better explosives in a hair salon.
But the thing is, a large number of dumbasses used them to harm people, pets and property. I for one, consider myself fairly responsible when flammable materials are concerned, and there was little that brought me joy as much as the moment I first fired a roman candle that actually had recoil into the night sky, so I bemoan the lack of such devices on the market nowadays. But still, I must agree that there was a quantifiable harm being done by them, and while this may hurt merchants and hobbyists, it's sometimes more effective to not let dumbasses have anything immediately dangerous to handle instead of forcing them to be responsible for their acts, be said dumbasses corporate entities or physical individuals.

Well my order page doesn't say anything so I'm going to assume it hasn't shipped yet.

Are you sure your payment actually went through? Ended up ordering some books one time, and it was about a week later that Amazon tells my dad that the bank refused the transaction because they didn't trust Amazon enough.

Also, usually you get a 'Your x has shipped!" email.

[Darvi]

Goddammit brain, not that kind of shipping!

[Scelly9]

Thinkgeek has still not shipped my edible zombie skin, caffinated gum, and fruit-that-makes-sour-things-taste-sweet tablets. Dammit, thinkgeek. I want my pointless and silly candies nao!

They sell miracle fruit tablets?

*also wonders about the undead flesh*

Seaweed.

I got the "Your X has shipped!" email. I don't need to stalk their page; my email does that for me.

I'm waiting for my two Sufferer pendants from What Pumpkin to ship. One is for Daryll, who actually IS Cancer (I would have gotten it for him regardless) and the other for me.

I got the "Your thing be shipped, yo!" email, but the tracking link doesn't work for meeee. :C

Dude, I've got a library of Bay12 Shipping. Including, and this is really out of left field, as I'm straight, me shipped with the entire San Francisco Fire Department.

I don't want to know who's in that library, do I?

[Hanslanda]

You just want your section, or do I need to show you the Dewey Decimal System'd inventory of all the ships?

[Vorthon]

I'm almost scared to think about how I could possibly fit into this library of debauched digital fiction.
