After checking for a status update all day, Fed Ex finally puts wheels under it at 4pm, with a delivery date of Monday.  Yes, that's right - I paid for next day but will actually get it two days later than I would with just regular Prime 2-day. I'm fairly certain it was all Fed Ex, I don't think it was Amazon's fault, but it also wasn't my fault so I got my shipping charges refunded.
I would have rather just had my new Fire and it's leather cover, since I don't feel well and that's the perfect thing to mess around with when I don't feel like leaving the bed. But my HD7 is still working just fine so it'll get me through. |
I thought I had no mail this week.
Caught the mailman this morning. No, the substitute put it in the box that plainly says house delivery. Not sure why, other than laziness.
