I did my shopping last Friday at Amazon.com. I saved the cart so I could finish up today. I go to complete the order only to find that the soonest I could get my order from Amazon was Jan 6th!!! And then only if I paid for the Super Duper Fast shipping of about $100. WTF???
I left in disgust and went to Barnes and Noble. They said everything I wanted would be shipped in 3-8 days for FREE. Well, YAY! I thought. But NOOOOO. Only after I'd PLACED the fucking order they tell me, oh, by the way, this will ship out Dec 22nd with a 3-5 day delay after that.
GODDAMMIT! Since the order has already been placed, I have to go back in and manually delete everything from the order because being able to cancel a whole order would be too easy. Fuckwits!
So, in order to get my shit and get it wrapped, etc., I have to haul my ass to the frelling MALL. I'm so pissed I can't even see straight!! What the hell is wrong with the online retailers? I've ordered the first week of December before and not had this problem!
All I can say is "FUCK 'em". I'll run to the mall and get everything done in one afternoon. Fuck Amazon.com and BN.com and most of all, fuck UPS and the other shippers who apparently don't understand the concept of hiring more people for the holidays.
GRRRRRR!!!
