I paid 80 dollars for a book for college. A few bucks extra for fast shipping so it could get here in '2-6 business days.'

It has not come. What should I do?

have you recieved shipping confirmation yet? does the books page say "ships in 24 hours" or "ships in 1-2 weeks" ?
if you link us to the page you might get more helpful information [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

but if they don't actually have it in stock they can't ship it in the time stated. They have to get it from their supplier too.

No, no. Break their toes first. One at a time. Then their legs.

Post some links. The problem is most likely not Amazon, but your vendor.

Well... the book has been delayed, as all the cardboard packaging boxes are currently on loan to the mafia for transporting cocaine. Sorry... you'll have to wait.

It's 2-6 business days from the time it gets shipped, not from the time you order.

It was probably cheaper than what it would have cost you to buy it from school though, Amazon is the way to go for buying college texts.

You are aware that they send you an email once the shipment has left their house?
At least here they do

I just bought Adobe indesign 2.0 -- Classsroom in a book last friday and it arrived last tuesday under 2-day shipping.

(weekends don't count for the two day shipping b/c those lazy sods that run UPS don't deliver on the weekends.)
