Package woes

I bought something from the Amazon for my mother's Christmas gift. It was scheduled for delivery today. Monday I got an email telling me it would be delivered Tuesday. Yesterday I got an email telling me that delivery would be delayed until Thursday. I made travel plans for Thursday morning to go see her and take her gift to her. She's 5 hours away. This news messed up those plans. Today (Wednesday ) I got notification that it was out for delivery. 🙄. Now I'm wondering if it is REALLY out for delivery. Stay tuned for more.

UPDATE: It arrived today as originally scheduled.

This is why you should never shop on-line

Shop in person and have it the same day, no waiting for the mailman to deliver a package

Wrong, I'm a poor ass dirt farmer. I just really really like old traditional way of doing things.

Like never owning a cellphone or shopping on-line. I really really like doing things in person and face to face.

I like the personal connection with other humans, I am not a heartless robot like other humans have turned into.

@HumanEarth I see. I’m not a huge fan of tradition; I remember that much of it didn’t come with choices. I appreciate having the other options provided by modern technology.

For me I hate most modern technology. Like I wish they bring back the Vacuum tube technology

Like modern technology makes it super hard to find a job. Almost every job is posted on-line and you need a cellphone and e-mail and have them verified.

Like who going going to commit fraud looking for a job for one thing. Two the newspaper was just easier. No e-mails, no cellphone needed. Easy peesy

Black Friday is a great marketing gimmick and often the prices are good too. But there's nowhere near enough delivery infrastructure to keep all the standard overnight and 2nd-day promises.

On Saturday I ordered a book for Monday delivery to a friend, and as of Wednesday it's showing "not yet shipped." I'm confident it'll eventually arrive; just don't know when.

You can call customer service abd you might get a refund, even if they do deliver today. It's worked for me.
You'll have to ask Googke for the phone number though. It's extremely well-hidden on the website.

It still may get there on time. Its happened to me several times and they arrived early anyway. They do that i think in case of a delay it doesn't mean that it will definitely be delayed.

@AngelUnforgiven I'm hoping.

That happened to me. And it ended up coming on time. Hope things work out

Lot of this going on at the moment.

Especially from the online stores

If it's coming from Canada Canada Post is on strike, may or may not affect you
