So I was cruising around the internet Thursday night/Friday morning and I decided it was time to get the Seidio Active X case for my phone. Dialed up Amazon.com, punched in the case, hit 'add to cart', and I see in bold lettering, "ORDER WITHIN THE NEXT 18 HOURS AND GET IT SATURDAY BY 11 AM"... Perfect!!! I'm not a very patient guy, so this suited me just fine. The shipping charge was $16 dollars, but hey to save myself two days without the case, I was willing to part ways with an extra $10 bucks (regular shipping was like $5.99) no problem.
Well 11 am came and went... no case. Even worse, Saturday came and went... no case. This sucks, I HATE waiting. And now I don't just have to wait an extra day, I have to wait 2 extra days. I am not a happy camper. Obviously Monday I will call them up straight away and let them know they will be refunding me the rush shipping charge I paid. But honestly this is just very disappointing to me. Heck it's not like I waited until the very last second or anything. The notice didn't say, "order in the next 18 seconds"... it said in the next 18 HOURS!
I know this will probably come off as being petty to most of you out there. But for me, when I zero in on something that I really want, I like to get it ASAFP... and I don't mind driving for an hour to go pick it up in a nearby town, or paying extra for over night shipping. So long as it gets into my hand quicker, I'm all for giving a little extra for it. So when it didn't come today, I got seriously bummed out, and in turn seriously pissed off. I'm not sure if it was Amazon's fault, or the shipping company, but someone is getting an ear full come Monday.
You best believe that!
