Amazon was originally telling me they were going to ship my copy of Halo 2 on the 10th (release was the 9th). I changed my shipping options to 2-day to see how much it would cost then changed them back and suddenly my ship date was the 8th. Of course, it still took forever to get to me because they sent it USPS, but at least they shipped it two days sooner.

Might be worth an experiment to see if it moves up your ship date.

I ordered on August 28th. You'd think they'd put me higher on the queue.

Sumi, I ordered Famous Flowers of Serving Men the day Amazon put it on thier preorder list. Suddenly I heard that other people were getting thier copies and mine still hadn't shipped. I raised a ruckus and suddenly I got free two day shipping, then the next day it shipped.

You could probably sit there and it would ship, but expressing displeasure might make them change thier policy. It seems to be ship the recent orders before the older ones. I agree, not fair.

Who did you raise a ruckus to? Or at?

Well, I found a place to email a complaint so I did. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My DVDs are here!!

I have DVDs! The very last ones at the store! And the girl had to look in the backroom for it. And when she brought it out I said "Yay!" and clapped my hands. It was good.

Amazon emailed me back saying that it was "system error" and that they would upgrade my shipping from super saver to standard domestic at no cost to myself.

It sounds as though, when you have a situation like this, the thing to do is complain.

squeaky wheel...

sumi - i did that with S6 and it worked fo rme too
