> Deal with Amazon's new, terrible delivery service.

Oh my god, this. I also never seem to get same-day delivery, despite it being "guaranteed". Amazon seems to have a completely different definition of what a guarantee is. I have also had more damaged items from their own delivery than even FedEx, which is pretty sad when you think about it. I wish they would just buy FedEx and turn it around rather than use their existing rag tag delivery service.

I've started writing them immediately after I order something.

"Guaranteed 2 day shipping" - ordered on Tuesday. That would mean Thursday, right? Wednesday, Thursday.

So why does it say that it's coming Friday _immediately_ after? Ridiculous.

2 day shipping means the shipping takes 2 days, not so ridiculous.

Well actually, Amazon will say: "Have this item by Thursday(two days) if you order in the next 2 Hours"

And having done that, still not fulfill the guarantee.

Was the service you were receiving before they offered two-day shipping any better? Or just more consistent leading to less disappointment?
