In Canada you get it when you get it, Amazon or not. When I ordered my Kobo Aura HD it was 21 days from Toronto to Vancouver. My mothers kindle was a week later than advertised, but amazon did refund me the entire shipping cost. The replacement kindle when it broke was 16 hours Texas to Vancouver. Go figure. Future Shop can be 8 hours Richmond to North Vancouver or 3 weeks.
While Amazon may make unrealistic claims at times, they have as good a record at keeping them. But I don't see how this forces anyone into anything. I am happy when something comes fast, but certainly not stupid enough to expect it even if it Is my first order. I have had things come from Amazon, even in the last year that I had forgotten I ordered by the time they arrived.
