Ahhhhhhhh….<\/p>\n
That is the sound of me breathing a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if it was the fact that they feared the wrath of my handful of blog readers or if they are just not the horrible, monolithic corporation that I thought that they were… but amazon.com did right by me. Hooray!<\/p>\n
It’s not that often that I admit that I was wrong. Because, duh, I’m so rarely wrong (ha!). But, this one was totally my fault. It turns out that you can<\/i> be forced to wait over a month for your books if you have one book in the order that won’t be available for a month. When you’re cheap like me and use the free shipping, they make you wait until everything<\/i> is available.<\/p>\n
But, the helpful customer service people sensed my homicidal-like tendencies at being forced to wait (oh the horror!) for my stuff. They shipped my items as they became available (the option that I thought that I had chosen but which is apparently not available when you use the free shipping option). And, they didn’t charge me any extra for making the switch for me.<\/p>\n
So, the moral of the story is that watching all that tv made me even stupider than I thought and that amazon.com is not as evil as I made them out to be. Oops.<\/p>\n
I would say that I feel like a jerk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
