WTF?
I feel like it's the first days of internet shopping.
I ordered some jewerly components from a website that boasts is the biggest supplier of IN STOCK items in the world. (I'm purposely not mentioning them by main cause the site itself would give away the nature of several gifts to ppl who read this :-p ) So I squee and order a ton of stuff.
Then I find out, even though stuff is supposedly in stock, it's going to take the company 2-7 BUSINESS DAYS just to fill the order! Which is weird cause they literally say they have ppl working everyday, 24 hours a day. So I'm totally like wtf? and go back over my order. There was just one stupid item amoung 8 that would take that long to 'package.' And of course it's the ones that they are supposedly supposed to have IN STOCK.
So I grumbled, bitched, and moaned about it. Then I decided in the interest of getting ppl their gifts before Christmas, I'd pay the extra $ to have expedited shipping. So since my order wasn't due to leave their store for a long time, I shot them an e-mail to upgrade my shipping.
So finally (!!!) it shipped to me. It should have been here on Friday. That was until THE PLANE IT WAS ON FUCKING BROKE DOWN! UPS sent me a letter, telling me I paid $25 for shipping, and it's going to get here LATER than if I had just gotten it shipped the cheaper way.
::wants to beat ppl::
shipping woes,
