Seriously Super Saver Shipping
So I've ordered my new antenna from Amazon. It seems these days they're more aggressively trying to get you to upgrade the shipping option. I ordered it on 3/6. When I put the order through, it said that I would receive the item 3/18 to 3/25. As this still beats the digital transition date, I figured this was ok, and it saved me $7 over standard shipping, which is 3 to 5 days.
Today I checked on my order, and I've tracked the package to Pittsburgh, with an arrival date of 3/11. Even if it's a day late, this still is more like the 3 to 5 day shipping, so what are those folks paying extra for?
Is this an isolated event? I'm pretty sure not as when I ordered stuff in January, including a Zune 80, they again threatened to ship it almost two weeks later. I held tight, and the package arrived in less than a week from order.
I think in the end that there is little difference in the time that the package will be received from standard shipping, or super saver shipping. Maybe they should rename standard shipping to "sucker shipping?" Keep this in mind with your next order.
