They used to be great, and everything else about the company is generally very good so I find it hard to leave.

Maybe it has to do with when you ordered. I have free shipping on mine and the estimated arrival date is the 9/9. I don't know if I believe that, but maybe the estimates have something to do with the order itself.

What the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Don't appreciate all the Beatles talk? Tune it out. There has to be a million other threads that have nothing to do with The Beatles that might be worthy of your attention.

Oh? Thank you. I hadn't noticed

I've found that ever since Amazon started the "Amazon Prime" thing, the delivery times for "super saver" shipping have increased. I called about it once and the guy slipped and *sort of* admitted that they de-prioritize super saver shipping items - as in it takes them longer to get out of the warehouse. This was about a year ago. I ordered a PS3 with super saver shipping. The estimated ship date was a week or so away, even though they had them in stock. I upgraded my shipping to 2-day and it shipped out right away. I think this was to get people to sign up for Amazon Prime. It worked for me - I love it. "free" 2-day shipping and overnight at $4 is worth it to me.

Anyway this may or may not explain delayed shipping for some.

My plan of attack for 9/9/09

Go to local Best Buy and purchase:
Rubber Soul -> Abbey Road plus Past Masters

I have Best Buy reward zone bonus to spend so this wil be part of it.
Also I want the Stone Roses 2CD + 1DVD anniversary deluxe edition also out 9/9

Right, because they are just that.

Nevermind that the initial run of mono box sets sold out almost as fast as they were available. There's certainly no interest in this band from so long ago. Especially as that means they have no merit.

I have never understood the motivation to enter a MUSIC thread that does not interest you. There are plenty of bands that I dislike which are talked about at length on this site and I simply do not go there. I have nothing to offer, and respect their interest.

X2 on Amazon Prime. Best strategy ever for repeat customers. Makes the damn place addictive, in a good way.

^ yeah that seems like the way to go with Amazon and I certainly understand the principle of getting what you pay for so I do not expect the world with free shipping. But I also understand competition and I ordered a pr of HD228s from Buy.com last night with free shipping and I woke up to a shipping notice.

...and the actual price of the HPs was 10 bucks cheaper than on Amazon

 

[jsaliga]

One of the main reasons I subscribed to Amazon Prime is because there were too many delays and issues with free super saver shipping. I would frequently have orders sit for several days unprocessed. I spend thousands every year on Amazon and the small price -- relative to what I spend -- of a yearly Prime subscription seemed to make the most sense.

I still have occasional shipping issues with Amazon but they are very few and far in between. Most of the time when I order in stock merchandise it gets shipped out the same day. On pre-orders it has been typical for them to ship the day before the official release date.

My Beatles mono set shipped out today from and will be here tomorrow, just got the tracking number!

 

[jsaliga]

The status of my order for both sets changed to Shipping Soon early this morning and my credit card was charged. So I suspect it will ship this evening.

Way back when I ordered the mono set from Amazon with 2-day shipping. I just got an email that they were shipping it. On the list of pending orders, it had indicated that estimated delivery was Sept. 9th. I am guessing it will actually be the 10th, but who knows.

 

[jsaliga]

If your order ships from the DE fulfillment center then you will have it tomrrow. Otherwise you'll have it on Thursday.

You may get it tomorrow. I chose 2-day shipping and they have shipped mine next day air saver with delivery estimated 9/9.
