I posted two days ago about the Lego Star Wars Dictionary I ordered a while back not arriving in time for Christmas since Amazon had a delay from the manufacturer. So I was ready to go on a hunt for it. Yesterday I received a notice that my order has shipped and I wasn't very confident it would arrive before Christmas. UPS was just at my door! :banana::banana::banana:
 
That is wonderful!!!! I brought the same book for my son, didn't think it woudl get here on time but it has been shipped.

It is suppose to arrive tomorrow (Christmas Eve), but we are also going to be in the middle of a major snowstorm so who knows if it will arrive on time. Oh well, at least I know it is coming
 
Love amazon....everything I ordered from there arrived within a few days....!!

I have ordered a bunch too, and all has been delivered in record time, except the blu ray I ordered for my FIL as a gift. It was supposed to be here yesterday, and they have told me it's lost. So they sent it again this morning, overnight, so it's supposed to be here tomorrow. I hope the UPS guy gets here before we leave for afternoon church!!! (they also lost my 40 inch TV for a few days LOL, but that finally showed up).

I am about to order a Kindle right now, they are promising free delivery tomorrow if you order in the next 3 hours!! Totally nuts!!!
 

Shipping is very fast, for the most part. I have not found as many bargains this year, though, as I did last year. Although one item I ordered was supposed to be $44.91 and when it arrived, the invoice was for $29.99. I thought that was pretty cool.

I placed 3 orders today (not for a Kindle) .. one at 6:30pm EST. I've already gotten the shipping notice. :cool1:

I know that they deliver fast, and would no matter where you live .. but there's an Amazon warehouse less than an hour from my house. LOL
 
Wow, that is amazing! I love Amazon too! I have gotten some great deals for my kids this season plus the books DB wanted were soooo much cheaper than in the store. Next year it will be all Amazon for the gifts that go out of town and I'm checking there first before I hit any stores.
 
An order of ours shipped from Amazon and vanished into a post office void sometime after that. I contacted Amazon via email on a Sunday night and someone responded only minutes later. They shipped another product priority mail immediately.

Of course the missing item showed up on the same day as the replacement only 18 days after ordering (and of course I will return it) but I'm just amazed at Amazon's customer service.
 
I am still waiting on my dictionary! No emails saying it was shipped either and no help from customer service. If it arrives Saturday I'll still be good, birthday is Sunday but he knows what it is now since he heard me tell the customer service rep what item it was. Not good in my book for Amazon! If it was out of stock when I ordered over 2 weeks ago then it would be different, but it wasn't!

Did you get tracking numbers? I don't know why customer service wouldn't help you out? :confused3

OTOH, where are our UP and SESAME STREET: ELMO AND THE BOOKANEERS DVDs? I ordered them on Saturday...c'mon, people! :rotfl2:

I'm so loving Amazon! I ordered 99% of my Christmas gifts from them this year. I have amazon prime and it's paid for itself and then some. I found a lot of good deals too. I just ordered dh his gift yesterday and it's going to be ehre tomorrow. I thought I was missing the shopping experience since I got everything on line, so a couple of weeks ago I went out to find some boots for dd's gift. I fought the rain, crowds, traffic, finding the right style, and size. After two hours I gave up, came home and saw that someone had posted about Bearpaws being 50% off and ordered it in 5 minutes.
 
I :love: Amazon! Everything I ordered 4 days ago arrived already. This is with the Super Saving Free shipping. My Amazon account states two of my packages were to arrive after Christmas, December 30 to be exact. I was so pleased when they arrived today! Thank you Amazon!

No, the item has not yet shipped and shows an estimated ship date of BY April 16th!

When I called customer service I really expect much but wanted to call and question it. About 5 years ago I ordered some Christmas DVD's and they were set to ship in January I noticed after about 3 weeks. When I called the guy said they showed in stock and no idea why they hadn't shipped already. So I was more or less just calling to check on the item (and to find out why I was never sent an email stating the book was suddenly out of stock).

Of course after reading here that a few books shipped out the same day that I called really makes me even more mad! Obviously they could have shipped it out!
