wow. That was crazy. And it’s not too long to blog. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have NOT used Amazon for Christmas gifts. Whew!

Good read. I love the back-to-back “Translation: Our IT group has screwed you” and “Translation: Our IT group has screwed US”

The option to reorder with 2-day shipping is actually pretty nice. Of course, it’s nowhere near as good as doing it *right*, and it took a surprising amount of effort on your part to get them to that point, but it really did offer a nice way out of the situation.

sounds like you need to quit buying from Amazon…….but I am sure glad that the gifts came on time…..So how is Elaine? Have you seen her?

I just ordered four books, and the tracking info indicates they are on their way — all in one box to boot! I must be a freak of nature.

I’m glad they came through for you. I’m still waiting for them to come through on my boyfriend’s last two Christmas gifts.

My grandparents ordered a $400 Kitchen Aid Mixer from amazon. They shipped 3 and charged them twice.

You are really damn good about writing funny rants.

Good to know a Christmas miracle occurred before it was too late.
