First Time Ordering From Amazon
« on: September 03, 2011, 12:37:15 am »
How long does it normally take for them to ship.

I took the super saver free shipping option.
I ordered last night on 1st (thursday) hoping that they would ship it tomorrow (friday).
Those dum fucks haven't shipped anything today and now they probably going to take a long weekend thanks to labor day.
The delivery says between 8th - 12th September.
Only problem is I go back to PK on 10th (afternoon).

And while we are at it are there any charges for requesting cancellation in mid delivery?

I might cancel some stuff if I can find it in a book store.

Oh and my order contained:

GAMES:
Sonic Heroes
Valkyria Chronicles
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

BOOKS
MAKE LOVE: the Bruce Campbell way
IF CHINS COULD KILL: Confessions of a B movie actor
How the Economy Works: An Investor's Guide to Tracking the Economy
Making Natural Liquid Soaps: Herbal Shower Gels / Conditioning Shampoos / Moisturizing Hand Soaps
Making Transparent Soap: The Art Of Crafting, Molding, Scenting & Coloring

At one point I had Yakuza 3 on my list but a new copy is cheaper at GameStop in contrast to ebay and if you know me, you know I always try and avoid use till the very last second.

Been a long time since I used super saver, as I have been prime for two years? I am not sure it will make it by the tenth. No charge for cancelling mid-delivery because I don't believe you can, when it arrives however you can return it free of charge. They will even pay the shipping back.

The free shipping takes about 2 or 3 buisness days where I am.
It all depends on where they're shipping out from, and if the items you ordered are all in stock. Before you add something to your cart, it will usually say if there will be a delay (ie: usually ships in 2 weeks, etc...).

Cube, do you have a .edu email address? You can qualify for a year of free Amazon Prime. I'd assume that you already shipped however.

I wouldn't sweat it, stuff usually arrives before the expected date. It is a big holiday weekend, so can't blame them for not being able to deliver on monday. The only thing you might want to be concerned about is the variety of stuff, as it'll take longer to assemble all those bits into a package. Did you select multiple boxes or one?

Given that everything is in the same cart I assume it is one.

I was disappointed they didn't ship it yesterday cause now it won't be shipped till tuesday I was never expecting delivery on Monday. For next time I'm going to get myself an edu email address shouldn't be to hard.
