You can’t win ’em all…

So my amazon.com order has been sitting doing very weird things. It’s been sitting as “ready to ship” for the last three days, with an estimated delivery of August 1st. For a week before that, it was complaining about delayed items, when all of the items “usually ship in 24 hours”. So I emailed customer support.

They said, yes, there had been weirdness with the order, here’s a $5 coupon, your order has shipped and should be there on the date listed on the webpage, August 7th.

Huh.

A last minute update. The webpage is a bit confused. It appears that they are now using time machines to deliver their goods. It’s a shame I didn’t have mine shipped to 1999, I could have included a gift wrap with a note that said “sell all your Yahoo! shares now!”
