PRS-650 I have to wait an extra 3 days....

GraceKrispy · 05-07-2011, 01:45 AM

sometimes it stinks living on a rock in the middle of nowhere! I ordered my new 650 last Saturday with an estimated delivery of this next Tuesday, May 10th. I have been checking the progress, and it's now left California...and the deliver time has been changed to this Friday

Apparently it takes a week to get across the ocean. I would rather they gave me a date further away and then it came early and surprised me. *sigh*

Hang in there. It will be worth the wait when you eventually get your hands on it

Happy reading.

Count your blessings--I would give anything to live on that rock, snail mail and all!

Bookworm_Girl · 05-07-2011, 12:34 PM

How exciting and very frustrating! It will most definitely be worth the wait! I know hard it is to stay patient in these situations.

GraceKrispy · 05-08-2011, 02:27 AM

Ha- this rock has a lot of downfalls as well (especially for someone with my personal preferences).... if I had a job elsewhere, and could afford to move the family, I just might move off the rock....

Trying to be patient....

(and trying not to completely stalk the fedex page....

We've been all over & lived in several states over the years, but the rock is still our favorite--we even watch Five 0 just to imagine we are still there. I agree, there are many problems with living there, but it still feels like we're home when we go back for a visit. Hope by now you are reading your 650. I love my 350--worth 20 Kindles, IMHO.

I once had a package that I was waiting for and on the day it was due, the tracking said there was a problem. I called and the person on the phone said it missed being scanned for outgoing delivery and I would have to wait until Monday. The day of deliver was Friday. Turns out I got it the day it was due anyway. Very odd.

JSWolf · 05-09-2011, 07:07 PM

I've lived in a few places in the USA. But never off the mainland.

I know you'll enjoy your 650 once you get it and get books loaded on it. In fact, I went to the Arnold Arboretum today and sat on a bench in the sun and read some with my 650. It was very nice today.

GraceKrispy · 05-11-2011, 10:53 PM

OMG< IT'S HERE!!!

But I don't have it in my hands yet....*grumble grumble* We had it delivered to my husband's work place. He has it, I don't. I told him he'd better get it charging!

I was sad yesterday (the original date it was supposed to show up), but thrilled when I saw this morning the delivery date had been changed from Friday to TODAY!

YAAAAAY!!!!!!! I've had a good day today, and this was icing on the cake

Bookworm_Girl · 05-12-2011, 01:42 AM

Hooray! Have fun getting it loaded with your books and happy reading!

Poppaea · 05-12-2011, 03:30 AM

And Grace, is it home now?

adityadubey · 05-12-2011, 08:29 AM

I'm guessing she's too busy reading on it

we have another happy camper.

Hope you're enjoying your Sony.
