Oh, Amazon says that the post office is holding my book awaiting customer orders. What does that mean?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If it's like the last book release, it most likely means that the post office has your book--whether that means in IL or at the Amazon distribution side, I don't know. But, you'll be getting it tomorrow, for sure!

Possibly it just means that they're taunting you with the fact that IT'S THERE BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT MUWAH-HA-HA!

I doublechecked - it's UPS not USPS -- but same thing, right? And I can't have it delivered before tomorrow anyway, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I don't know, sumi. Here's what mine says (it's coming UPS though and not USPS):
July 20, 2007 07:50:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Departure Scan
July 20, 2007 04:44:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Held by carrier - customer to arrange delivery
I didn't arrange anything, but it left the facility 3 hours later.

Okay, mine LIES and says that the receiver requested a hold and the service is basic -- does that mean I won't get it 'til Monday?

I just went to UPS and here's what they said about mine

I did NOT request a hold!!! Amazon requested it. Which means, UPS would have delivered it today. It's sitting there in Franklin Park. I could be there in 30 minutes. But, I bet they wouldn't give it to me, huh?
