I’d really like to get a hold of Amazon’s shipping time machine. Apparently they can ship something from Kentucky and get it to California on the same day. They can also go back in time and get it there the day before. Wow! Of course I haven’t receieved either. The funny thing is that UPS says that my second package hasn’t actually shipped yet. It’s been stuck in “billing information received state” for a day.

This is becoming more and more common. Sigh, it used to be such a well-executed site.
