Amazon.com shipped me a package on the 30th of June. After I placed the order, they sent me an apologetic e-mail saying that I might not get my item until July 12th, and giving me a link to track the package.

On July 2, the USPS tracking system showed that my package was "in transit" at Capitol Heights, Maryland. I snickered, remembering Amazon's apology about the "delay." Did they really think it would take ten days to get here from Capitol Heights?

On July 3, the USPS tracking system showed that my package left Capitol Heights to travel the lengthy distance to Baltimore.

That was the last update. The days keep ticking by, with no package and no new information in the tracking system.

I now actually begin to believe that my package may take ten days to get to me, from Capitol Heights Maryland. Thirty-five miles away.

Sheesh.

On the other hand, I ordered something from Amazon Wednesday that I will ship on as a present on Monday and they warned me after I ordered that it probably wouldn't arrive until the 19th. It came today, Priority Mail. (But the shipper used the online shipping labels & payment from USPS.com so it didn't have to go to their post office, it just went to their depot.)

And I mailed it out today as long as I took trash and recycling out before the hordes start arriving tomorrow. I bought onesies to send to a tie-dyeing baby shower. Doesn't it sound like fun to live in Mpls?
