Been really happy with Amazon since I got Prime. Very quick with the shipping and free. The only time it didn't come on the day they said it was it was UPS's fault. They don't come to my neighborhood until after 7pm anyway and when we had the snowstorm last week and the roads were really bad that pushed them past their 9pm cutoff. So I ended up getting it one day late.

Yes, Prime. They backordered some stuff and their tracking info blows. The first part got here in two days flat. I have no idea where the second part is:rolleyes:

Prime rules even more when it only costs you $39/year instead of $79 while you're a college student! woohoo!

When you wear shoes w/o socks and end up getting some sort of unearthly smell of foot-cheese. The shoes are toast for the rest of eternity...no way of getting that kind of odor out.

UPS screwed up another Prime package for me. Was supposed to be here on the 24th but they didn't make it in time. Got it today. It was just some filters for my fridge and batteries, but since Amazon had guaranteed it would be there by the 24th, they're giving me a $20 gift card for anything on Amazon. I'll take it.

I got my missing Prime order like 10+ days later.

So I fully realize the word 'cabinet' is three syllables. Though, it grinds my gears when people pronounce it that way. I've always said 'cab-nets'. Weird i know.
