Shipping

Ok so fast qusetion. If i ordered something at 10PM Saturday night, and it is 2-5 day shipping, what are the odds that it will come by friday?


Posted by tubularbills on Aug-29-2007 16:12:

pretty good. the 2-5 estimate really i think is more of a 3-4 day thing. depends on the company, the shipping partner, and the weather of course.

When you order something on line, and say it says 5-10, always think it will take 10 days. They only ship on business days and mail always has misshapes.

check the tracking number and it usually has a good estimated time

closely depends where its shipped from unless its guaranteed overnight.. if its close eyoure more likeyl on the 2day than the 5.. shipped from same state/city might even come the next day

Dear Stan,

I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
and here's an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin dogg,
c'mon - how fucked up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!

Shipping from where to where? East coast to west?

I ordered a book from Amazon like 2 days ago and it cost $5 to ship it. D:

Just standard shipping, too.

It's a 300-page paperback book. I don't get it. Is postage a fossil fuel or something?

Because you make a killing marking up freight, even if its only a couple bucks each shipment. Because they ship so much it probably doesnt cost them much at all (their price) through their shipping account/agreement. Easy Money and you really cant argue being "ripped off" over a buck or two. All companies do it.

Yeah, it makes sense...they want my money. But cmon...$5 shipping for a $9 book.

Shoulda just spent $2 in petrol and went down to Borders.

Pretty much. You gotta factor in: Box, packing material, the guy who boxes it up. Its easy to justify 5 bucks.
