Shoprbc.com question
Anybody else order their Sony PRS-505 from Shoprbc.com recently? It's 1 week today since I ordered it (albeit with Monday having been a statutory holiday here in Canada) and it hasn't shipped yet.

I am hoping it ships later today, and I'll get it tomorrow (I paid the extra $6.00 for expedited [next day] UPS shipping).

Based on other people's experiences though how likely is this dream to be realized? I am not eager to repress my childlike impatience at getting my new toy for another whole weekend.

My order got processed on a Sunday and I believe they sent me an e-mail on the Monday or Tuesday that I could pick it up at their retail location.

I suspect it all depends on their stock at the time they received your order. Based on the comment from the Sales person, I suspect they've been selling like hot cakes.

Just checked again... it *is* shipping today.

I guess I was just irrationally worried about my hot cake getting cold...

Hmm... shoprbc.com's website marked my order as "fulfilled" shortly after noon today, but now (past 8pm) there is still no UPS tracking information. It's increasingly seeming like they happily acknowledged that they have the item I ordered a week ago, and will ship it (presumably) tomorrow (instead of today).

I hope I am wrong... :-/ Seemingly avoidable single day delays in shipping that result in 2 extra (weekend) days of wait are annoying.

Let me lie to myself and assume they just haven't gotten around to updated the information, but my sweet PRS-505 is already flying toward me upon angel wings! :-/
