Towards the end of March, I placed an order with Amazon for several items which "usually ship within twenty-four hours." They gave me an expected delivery date of JUNE!!!! Like, TWO MONTHS later!!!

Granted, their delivery dates are useless, and stuff usually ships sooner than they say (a real flaw if you are expecting to be out of town and suddenly they ship your stuff), but, two months is ridiculous for stuff that is "supposed" to ship in 24 hours!!!

So, I saw at Best Buy one of the things that I ordered, and I went to cancel that item from my order (I suspected that it was the item holding up the order - to their credit, they do let you change orders before they ship - sometimes), but, they say that they are preparing my order for shipment and I can't cancel anything now. "Preparing your order for shipment." Does that mean it is going out this afternoon? (I'll follow up if it does.) Or does that mean that my stuff is on a slow boat from China (Literally!) and will not be here for two months, since they ordered (comitted) it for me?

"USUALLY SHIPS WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS"

Thanks for letting me vent.
