Slow shipping

[Malevolent]

I ordered my stuff 6 days ago. The store is in my town - just 30 minutes away. I still haven't received it. Shit.

Why didn't you just go to the store?

I went to the store, but at the time they didn't have everything in stock. They told me it would be in stock the next day, but I decided to order when I got home.

what most likely happened was that:
-it didnt get in next day, or they forgot (or didnt care) to put it in the mail the next day
-takes a day for the mail people to pick it up and bring it to the post office
-a day for processing the mail
-day to ship it.

toss in a few more random occurrences and there ya go I hate the mail

I recently had something I sent in the mail take over a week to be delivered from where I live in north Auckland, to a place in south Auckland, which is a distance of less than 50km.

I also once had something take a long time to be delivered which I ordered internationally from the USA, when it turned up, the packaging notes indicated it had been routed via Uganda. Yes, Uganda. Work that one out!

It's like air mail, they'll always send it around the world the longest way.

Shipping sucks, I know.
I once received a letter from my grandparents for my birthday, and received it a week and a half later. It was dated the 10th, I got it on 22nd.
And they only live like 30 Km away.

As much as I love Amazon, it takes forever.
